The comment from the Villa blogger in the Evening Mail was very apt, i.e. if you keep circuling round the plug hole eventually you will go down. Just however have this nagging doubt in my mind. Conscious that last year we gave them a huge boost loosing twice and massively boosting their confidence. It is important we remain really focused for the home game and ruthlessly execute the game plan. They may get something from Newcastle granted, but I do not think that they will get much at West Ham, and their Norwich away match is already a sellout. Norwich have Lambert based history with the Villa where they think Villa exhibited a good deal of arrogance. The atmosphere is going to be wholly toxic for them. Cannot see them getting much there either. So, by 1/1/16, I can still see a team that will either me in single figures for points, or at 11. Either way its not looking great.
