The problem is that McGinn is out for two games and we will be more dependant on Hourihane. After being booed off, his confidence is shot to pieces and I cannot see his performances improving any time soon. He has scored many great goals for us and has made many more assists since he has been with us. He has not been great over the past few months but the least is he deserves is our support. We did the same to Westwood who was not even as effective and we forced him out of the club.

Still back him. Ive seen some remarkably hilarious anger tweets from our fans. One suggesting that Steve Bruce should be our DOF.

This league is unpredictable at times. Based on form and performance we should be tipped to lose but I think that we will win this one. Its a crazy league.

well unless you have a mystical ball sat in front of you, wait and see.

We lost to a team that DS assembled over 3 years. This team has been assembled over 6-8 months by two managers.. Watching Brentford made me realise the type of players and style we could look forward to at Villa Park. The teams that we look to replicate all have a long term strategy and have kept faith in their manager. We have been in this league for three seasons yet we have a section of fans that still think that we are a premier league club and looking for a quick fix.. Purslow is not stupid, we are going to build effectively and slowly and this is going to be a tough journey. For me, if you are not backing the manager you are not backing the club that decided to place faith in him. As I said before, this summer is going to be interesting.

Smith to stay! im excited for the summer, total rebuild, old players out and new players in. The comments here are embarrassing, thankfully beyond the keyboard warriors the villains know the journey that we are about to embark on. Instead of pulling your hair out and turning different colours let’s just patiently see what happens. Its only football.

This is the one of the few things that disappoints me with Mcginn. He needs to improve his decision making. Hopefully this will improve.

He is our player. I’m not going to crucify him. He missed.. so what, we move on.

We have defended well and we are still in the game. It is all a working process. This summer is going to be interesting.

Not necessarily, the personnel make systems work.

Some fans on here are being very harsh on Adomah. He was unlucky, hopefully he will get another opportunity!

People are questioning Smith yet those ten players in that wonderful Brentford side are his players ..

He wants premier league football next season he also wants to be in contention for England. We will allow him to leave otherwise he will try to force the move.

Grealish will be allowed to leave in the summer. He will hand in a transfer request if he isn’t allowed to leave. Quote this in the summer.

And your current support for this team is poor.

We all need to give the man the opportunity to do his job. I was a skeptic to begin with, but I have seen enough of him to know that he is not a chancer. Pre season is going to be interesting.

We were poor but we showed tremendous character at the end. The fans that are saying Smith out.. Hang your heads in shame.

That article has not explained what Suso has and is currently doing. It is a sporting director talking about what the this role entails. His statements are very vague. We can only see what results Suso’s role will bring to Villa

Let the fickle and non DS supporters bicker amongst themselves in this thread. They will come around once we are in some form again.. as fickle fans normally do.

Players get banned for high foot challenges when it’s not intentional. i don’t want him to be banned but realistically speaking I would not be surprised.

I would be very surprised if he does not receive a ban. 3 games minimum. whether it was intentional or not it was still a dangerous act that caused damage to another footballer.

Hopefully a section of our home fans won’t yell shoot or groan when the ball is being played.

I can see this being under review.

Let’s see. But it’s almost certain that he will be gone if we don’t get promoted.
