We go on a run which we are more than capable of and we are right back in this turn the draws into wins and we are 1 of the best sides in the division .

Got it wrong it with the 3 at the back but has to get credit for changing it around and the subs worked .Would like to see us be us be a bit more direct think we are trying to play a bit too much football at times and a lot of our players at the back and I'm the middle aren't exactly great passers we seem to play much better when we go direct .

Don't have the players to play 3 at the back need quick CB for that .4-3-3 seems to be the shape that we have played our best football in so I would go with that .

Formation was all wrong in the first half it gave toon a extra body in the middle and shelvey bossed the game for them,3 at the back doesn't suit the players we have firstly you need pace at the back to play that way something we don't have and secondly you need your back 3 and holding midfielders to be comfortable on the ball again something we don't have .We looked a different team with 3 in the middle in the 2nd half the changes worked ,thought Kodjia was excellent and we looked a decent team 2nd half .Newcastle are the best team in the champ and they should have been 3/4 up in first half but we deserved a point in the end and it was great for the team to finally should a bit of character to come back it could be the turning point in our season .

No penalty was a blatant dive ref got it right .

If Villa are serious about getting back to the Premier League we need rid of players like Grealish his attitude hasn't been good enough off the field ,Villa are trying to change the culture of the club which for the last 5 years has become a laughing stock which the attitude of certain players like gabby ,lescott etc have been a major problem of why we are where we are ,we need the right type of players at the club and Grealish young or not villa fan or not needs to go this has happened on a number of occasions and is simply not good enough

Our biggest problem is that RDM hadn't had time on the training ground with this set of players ,Most of pre season was taken up with getting rid of the players that were no longer part of his plans ,the majority of our signings came in very late in the window and with that RDM has had very little time to work with them ,we haven't at any stage had our best eleven on the field I think when the menager gets more time with his players the results will come it is very naive to think we will be a great team and win the majority of our games When the players have hardly trained together ,organisation and everybody on the same-wavelength is a massive part of building a successful team something that we possibly couldn't have no matter who we have managing us ,we will get there we have the players we will get it right but it will take time unfortunately .

We got relegated last year with 1 of the lowest point totals ever in Premier League history ,we have had to totally rebuild squad and they have had 3 games together since window has closed ,a point away to a team with one of the strongest home records in the league is a good result ,we are only 6 pts from playoffs and we will only improve .

He is a leader which is something we needed think he is a decent Champ defender who would struggle a bit in the Prem league hence why Bournemouth let him go.

Terrible news hope he makes a full recovery .Think Bacuna has to be in at RB now.

We have spent a lot of money but we have a complete new team and we are only 7 games into a complete rebuild it will take time unfortunately but we will get there

Who would want to be a manager ,RDM gets slated for not closing up shop against Forest ,he then closes up shop against Brentford and gets slated for being negative can't win ,he is getting lambasted for playing 4 forwards last night but realistically who could he have played instead Gardner who has been our worst player this season or fans favourite Bacuna ?unfortunately it's been some poor finishing from our strikers and some poor defending towards the end of games that have cost us ,he might turn out to be yet another managerial failure but at the moment RDM needs to be cut some slack our results are more down to individual errors .

Look he tries hard he always gives his all but he just seems anonymous during games he is neither a creator nor a destroyer which explains it all really.We need to get him out of the team he offers nothing .

Obviously around the middle is our weakest point of the team actually surprised we didn't hold onto Sanchez he could have been decent for us this season .

Think he is a good signing ,already got a couple of goals and will only improve we must remember he isn't fully fit ,he didn't have a pre season at Fulham due to injury .

We really need to start winning games ,Ipswich will be tough but look there is no easy games in this division hopefully our luck will change and we get a win.

This post sums up perfectly the way I feel about the whole villa situation at the moment we are a work in progress have plenty of work to do RDM hadn't had enough time really to be judged even with 60 million spent ,I think our performances have been good with the odd exception and I think we will start getting results sooner rather than later

Plenty of examples of this Sunderland did it a few seasons ago and so did Reading it happens constantly not saying we will do it but we have the potential to do it ,we are just drawing too many games at present .

Who would you get in instead of RDM ?

Getting rid of RDM this early is crazy talk ,what we need is stability been to much chopping and changing of managers in the last few years ,yes our results will have to improve but we very easily could be top if we held onto our leads all it needs is a couple of wins and we will go on a run ,there is countless examples of teams in the champ being nowhere at Xmas and going on a long unbeaten run and get promoted ,I wouldn't even look at the table this early in the year 20/25 games in is when we need to be getting worried if we are not showing signs of putting a run together would much prefer us finishing strong than starting strong and running out of steam very long season there yet.

A disappointing result it was a game I thought we would win .Conceding another late goal was extremely frustrating but we have all learned that there are bk easy games in the champ ,Brentford are a decent side ,I realise we have spent a lot of money but it's simple we have had to we haven't invested in the last 5 years we are building a new team from scratch I know it's frustrating but it will take time get a couple of 2-1 or 1-0 wins and we will take off squad is good enough to be in the top 5 prob even higher .

He has missed most of pre season so he isn't up to scratch yet when he does get there he will be our most important player .

All the players are playing for the manager the attitude has been first class massive difference to last 3/4 seasons ,the results will come ,happy with RDM and his coaching team so far confident we will move up the table.

We have the squad to go up think we have signed well our problem will be getting it to gel before we are too far behind when it does come together we prob after Newcastle have the best team in Champ .

It's a must win really need to be winning our home games if we want to mount a promotion challenge ,think we will get the win which will hopefully get our season going .
