Aston Villa boss writes off top-six hopes
15:39 September, 25, 2006
Martin O扤eill doesn抰 think Aston Villa Football Club can finish in the top six this season.
The Midlands outfit have made an unbeaten start to The Premiership season under manager O扤eill, yet the Ulsterman has played down their chances of finishing in the top six.
"Do I think it is possible we can finish in top six? Not at all," said O'Neill. "There are moments in games where we are absolutely fine and there are moments in the game where we are a bit uncomfortable.
"First of all I'd be concerned at the size of the squad we have. Sometimes I look at the names on the back of the match programmes and see other clubs with a more extensive list of players.
揑t doesn't matter. We have what we have. The players have done very well indeed but we are going to hit a period where we can't get a result and that's going to happen.
揚erhaps then that will be the real test for us but at the moment I'm very pleased. I can't do anything about the expectations but eventually we will find our level. We know that ourselves.
揟here are a couple of hammerings around the corner. We have to take it and deal with it when it comes. But we are enjoying it at the moment and the players have been excellent.
"You can still be excellent in defeat. It depends how you get beaten."
