What are we expecting from Villa this season?
They've got the players to challenge,but it's if they've got the right attitude.

Good question. Like Newcastle they should perhaps be going up by right and should certainly be another guaranteed top six as a worse case scenario. I just wonder if everything behind the scenes is sorted and how much the players will want it and more importantly adapt to the pace and physicality of championship football. Could take them a while to get up and running.

Please enlighten me as to which players are good enough to mount a challenge?

McCormack has not achieved anything much at his previous clubs, a kid from Reading who may have potential, and a bang average Italian goalie. Otherwise the squad is the same rubbish as last season.

Hadn't realised they'd improved to the level of being rubbish

Wrong thread for this, too, but I'm considering going to a couple of York games early this season to see if I get the "live football" bug back.

Wigan are going to win the league after their 0-0 draw with Macclesfield a few weeks back :D

The thing is, the actual score sometimes hides what happened in the game. I'm no expert on the first tier of the football league, I just thought Wigan looked a very impressive footballing (not just hoof it) side.

I also fear for Villa. They were so bad and gutless last year and it was not a one off. They have been in decline for a while and last year was inevitable. They need a good start to the season.
