From Leicester to Leicester

It was the 14th of February this year, when the Sherwood love affair with Villa started. The following day saw the first signs of Sherwood's influence, when he visited the dressing room at halftime to help inspire the team to a 2-1 win over Leicester in the cup. Before that, we were heading for yet more disappointment - with another frustrating first half performance, the sort we were used to under Lambert. But after leaving his seat in the stands and giving a morale boosting talk, a different V

Dark days are coming

I've seen some really bad things happen at Villa, in my time as a fan. Losses in league cups to lower league teams (Scunthorpe, Sheffield United) but I have never felt so deflated and depressed as I do at this moment. Don't get me wrong, Bradford deserve their massive achievement 100% and I wish them all the best for the final. But whilst this is their finest hour, this is also my clubs darkest hour and I am not sure we can pull this around in time to save our premiership status. It is

From: Darren Bent V.2

It's become a matter of great discussion, about how important Darren Bent is to our future prospects and success. For what it is worth, if we had Young and Downing supplying from the wings, I would have Darren Bent in the team every single week. The problem is, we do not create the chances Darren thrives on, and thrived on under the attacking threat from both Downing and Young. Simply, without the ammo, Darren is less of a threat. In my eyes, we cannot risk playing somebody who offers so l

    • Embarrassing club full of Embarrassing players and an embarrassing coach   Absolute babies crying about one of the most spot on VAR decisions this month. If I was a Chelsea fan I'd be cringing  
    • A bit late, but as requested from @fightoffyour and @Stephen_Evans Stephen, I don't think the middle one works cutting off the claret border - so just a more plain old school 3rd one.... 
    • Remember Mourinho’s Porto went Europa and UCL back to back. It can be done 
    • This new trend of turning on our better players, that have made huge contributions for us, and clamouring for their sales (it’s either JJ - who is injured! - or Dougie… who’s next??) is really unpleasant, small time and smacks of short termism and this modern, constant thirst for instant gratification. Almost like some believe we should be winning every game and players should be at 100% every time…. a loss or poor performance just cannot be tolerated which is… delusional… With how well we’ve done and over achieved this season, expectation and demand has increased and probably unrealistically and unfairly so.., we should be more appreciate and a bit more loyal to our players (who, funnily enough, we demand that from)… Perspective is required… new experience and level for most of this group, a real mental and physical challenge with all of the games and difficulties we have had to face… (they are going to learn and develop so much from this, so much gain and benefit) it’s not easy to be consistent when your teammates are getting injured (and suspended) and fatigue sets in… it’s not realistic to expect everyone to be firing in every game.  Unai had had to keep shuffling the pack and still gets results! When the team changes so often and the mix in defence or midfield keeps altering… it makes it harder. A lot of form depends on partnerships and combinations too… Luiz and Kamara for instance, which we have been deprived of. That’s still, easily, our best midfield partnership when everyone is available… but they aren’t… I’ll admit that Dougie hasn’t been near/at his best so far this year… but he still had that quality, class and ability in him.. he will be back. He was awesome in 2023. Not so long ago we were calling him our best player, irreplaceable etc. and now want him gone? That’s really poor…  
    • BBC headline is that Chelsea comeback to "dent" Villa's Top 4 hopes. Are we not 7 points clear of 5th? Would rather have the points than the games in hand...
    • Might be bad news for him if Archer and or Philogene comes back in the summer. Makes him a FFP sale target.
    • As much as I want us to get 4th place and qualify for the UCL this season, how good would it be to win conference this season, Europa next and UCL the season after?!
    • Our lack of centre midfield options have really hampered us this season. Ginny is much better when playing more forward and that makes the team much better. Most of our better performances have been when Ginny has been employed higher up the pitch. We need two centre midfield players in the summer and then hopefully, next year, Ginny will be able to stick to what he does best.
    • I like the visual representation of the lion roaring AND farting. 
    • Desperately hope you are right but I don’t think you take off a player like Emi in a game as big as that as a precautionary measure.
