I've come onto the Forum late and just realised that the stats have been done to death. I have to agree. The following statistics show just how negative WBA were. I know statistics are not the 'be all and end all' but these make interesting reading. Over two playoff matches Aston Villa WBA 47 Total shots 15 14 Shots on target 5 16 Shots off target 8 17 Blocked shots 2 25 Corner kicks 8 13 Fouls 29 2 Yellow cards 9 0 Red cards 2 2 Goalkeeper saves 10

Leeds reverting to form!

At the moment, I'd take Derby in the final - Leeds looking good.

That'll do me

We would be one of them!

We can't

3-0 Am I on time?

2-0 Late at the party again! lol

According to Transfermarkt, he's a RB! - but can also play CB?

So, no point in keeping up with the action, when we already know we are going to be beaten 20 -0? Sad.

Hope so - whenever he lost the ball, on Saturday, he never once tried to win it back. Could have scored, though!

Bolasie - Bolazy. Never chased, after losing the ball. Looked like he thinks this Division is beneath him. Hope that he eventually proves my analysis wrong.

Has this definitely been confirmed? Could be the start of a new search for a manager.

Looking at the Premiership table in Scotland - could we poach Craig Levein? ? I, personally, don't think that Rodgers is the answer - his team has very poor competition and should be 'walking' (or kicking?) their Premiership. I think that Rodgers is overrated and would bring nothing new to Villa. Just to be clear:- I also am not in the least interested in Craig Leivin ?

Alex Ferguson recommended Alex McLeish for the AV job in 2011!

First 3?

Could see it coming from the 2nd half kick off. Now to show what we are made of.

Different game

We've only lost twice!! lol

Id didn't know that - the commentator has just said that Bruce has won promotion 4 times from the Championship ?

Have we tried that yet, this season?

The plot thickens!

https://www.quora.com/What-does-a-technical-or-sporting-director-at-a-football-club-do The presence of a director of football acts as an intermediary between the manager and the board and may relieve pressure on a manager by handling aspects away from day-to-day coaching, allowing a manager to focus on on-pitch performance. The director may also help to stabilise the club – many examples exist of director stepping in as a caretaker manager on the departure of the manager. The director – often an experienced football figure – may also positively advise a less experienced manager or the board of a less well developed club." Am I reading too much into this?

So he won't get to 3000 pages then!

Can someone explain what effect all these loan deals have on our FFP, please? Or is that now of no concern?
