Key Highlights
- With others in the hunt for Europe starting to appear in Villa’s rearview mirror, it is a bad time for the goals to have dried up, but that they have.
- Four goals in their last five games have been enough to earn one two draws, two defeats and one win. Out of the FA Cup and handed a testing tie against Lille in the Europa League, the next month is going to be crucial in determining the outcome of Villa’s season.
- In theory this is exactly the kind of fixture they would want right now, a struggling opponent with one of the league’s worst defences, but Wolves will be up for this. For Rob Edwards’ team, the rest of this season should be about creating enough of a platform to come straight back up.
- Edwards needs to find positivity in performances and get as many points on the board as possible, even if it all feels a little futile.
- Eight of their 10 points this season have been earned over the past 10 matches, which is encouraging.
