Barry wants maximum points

Gareth Barry believes Aston Villa have to target a maximum return from their remaining six games if they are to have any hope of reaching the UEFA Champions League. Sunday's thrilling 3-3 draw against Everton has left Martin O'Neill's men eight points adrift of Arsenal in fourth place after a run of just two draws in their past seven games.England midfielder Barry has taken heart from Villa's performance against the Toffees and their previous outing against Manchester United, where they suffered a last-gasp defeat having led 2-1 going into the closing stages.The Midlands club are at home to West Ham on Saturday and stand-in captain Barry believes it is essential that the fans continue to give the players their full support."There are six games and we have to target to win all of them and see where it leaves us," he told the club's official website.Get behind us"That's two good performances we've put in and we just managed the one point. "We've got another home game coming up and hopefully the fans will come down again and get right behind us." Barry believes Villa were unfortunate not to go on and snatch all three points against David Moyes' men having twice battled back from two goals down to restore parity.He added: "The boys showed a lot of character in the end to get a point. "The main thing was James Milner's goal straight away. It was an important time to score after they had just gone 3-1 up. "We needed to assess the situation for a couple of minutes but ultimately we wanted to win the game. "After that we could have gone on and won the game. There was only one team who was really going to win it."
