If someone would have offered us Villa's position, would we have accepted it?
Even viewed through the most red & white tinted glasses we all expected a tough season
So to be going into the last game with fate in our hands, in my opinion would have not been ideal, but acceptable.
(however we all know how that can end!)
couple of stats for when the knockers start again if we loose to Southampton
SUFC v Villa & Norwich combined
points 54 v 55
goals conceded 36 v 136
games won 14 v 14
games drawn 12 v 13
games lost 11 v 47
squad value 120m v 366m
transfer spend 61m v 145m
In summary, we have over achieved this season. To be sat above Arsenal, Everton, Palace and WH with one game to go is a stunning result
We can all accept we need a 15+ goal scorer, bit more pace and creativity, but no one has a right to win every game
To see some on here calling out the team, and even worse individuals when we have registered the above is in my opinion unacceptable
Hopefully we can go out with a bang, but win loose or draw I hope the lads get a good break and come back next season, to a few quality additions and raring to go
The worse we can finish this season is 10th, I would take that for next season right now.
