After a 2-0 home defeat to Wigan last weekend and then a 1-0 loss to Rapid Vienna in the Europa League things are not looking too bright to Aston Villa.
Steve Sidwell however thinks that the team will find their form that took them to 6th place in the league last season.
“We do seem to have started where we left off last year and it is down to us and the manager to get us back on track,” said Sidwell.
“We have had a poor run of form and you can easily find yourself at the bottom of the table but it is just two defeats so far this season.
“You can never write (relegation) off. I mean you look at Spurs last year. Who would have thought they, until Harry Redknapp came in and worked his magic, would have been on the verge of it? It can happen to any club.
“If that losing mentality sets in, and keeps going week-in week-out, you can go 10 or 12 games without picking up wins. Once you get that you are in trouble.” Sidwell said.
“To say this club is too big to get relegated would be disrespectful to the likes of Newcastle, but we shouldn’t be looking at that.
“If you are halfway through the season and in this form it is difficult. But we are only two games in.”
