At last a sensible review. Inspired me to contribute even though I pressed many wrong comment buttons.

Not a regular poster on this but lifelong fan. It was a shit game but to think that they were in any way better is ridiculous. I agree that Hourihane should have stayed on but I always thought a point was a good result. Don’t forget our away form is still to take shape. Steve Bruce has got us in the top 6 but still hated by many on here; even when we win. Maybe I just don’t get it. My bad.

Well said and Bruce has said as much after the game about not throwing millions. John Motson said today that Graham Taylor built a club rather than a team when he was at Watford and he rebuilt us in the late 80s. Let's allow Bruce to rebuild our club and give him as long as he needs.

Yeah, let's change manager. It always works.

He saved us in last minute in previous game. That said, he doesn't seem the long term option.

He was man of the match for me and what was so poor about us?* They hardly threatened. We just need to be more clinical but apart from that, a professional away win, the type Mourinho would be lauded for. *I mean on here in general not your post of course

Allardyce coming in would be the final nail in our coffin. We are not going up this time as far too much baggage still around mentally from last season. Sick of sacking managers. Let everything gel and accept that next season we will run away with it.

Was good enough Tuesday?

Hard to know what to say. I'm 42. Supported Villa since my earliest memory. Achieved a lifelong ambition to hold a season ticket in MON years, which everyone slagged off for whatever reason. 6th in PL Garde is in no way at fault for this current predicament. He is trying to work out a best team from a previous regime's squad. January will be crucial but probably too little too late. When we go to championship, keep Garde and build some kind of future which involves winning games regularly. I think he is an intelligent manager who will soon be sought after. The players just aren't good enough. Libor Kozak? I rate him as an international goalscorer. Why is Gestede getting the nod ahead of him?

As an avid football watcher and lifelong Villa fan that was unacceptable at half time at Sky. To openly laugh at us like that no matter how warranted was poor form although I agree that Neville was making a point out of exasperation at our performance with an inexplicable starting 11. An all time low for us so only way is up. I think we have many good players who need to play week in week out, especially Gill.

^^^ THIS ^^^ That's all it was - good tactical change by a smart coach who I hope will be at Villa next season with Timothy ! ^^^ THIS ^^^ That's all it was - good tactical change by a smart coach who I hope will be at Villa next season with Timothy ! I agree with this. Quality observation. Leave Sherwood alone as he is clearing up a mess with none of his on players. #own players

At last some comments on the game not the idiots at the end. This has been our best week in years

I don't want us to go down but can't help feeling it's the wake up call the club needs. Can't really criticise Sherwood after 2 matches. At least he says more than we go again at the end of the matches and isn't afraid of being disliked. Sounds like Benteke had a better game.

A minority of fans make me sick. We all understand heat of the moment but to punch a father in the face because they disagree? Horrific. Villa are in trouble. Lambert is likely to stay whatever because of his contract so what's the point in endless Lambert Out chants? I wouldn't mind hearing more constructive ideas about team selection etc. I also want to know what Lambert has against Bent? Why has Grealish not been starting? Sterling has at Liverpool. Before he went to Jamaica that is...
