Awful.

Time wasting against a newly promoted side. Embarrassing.

We are playing for a goalless draw and with a bit of luck, might get one.

Its awful, Anti-football. There is little, if any entertainment on show here from us.

Im just waiting for 'Makounsgrin' to tell us all its brilliant and Mcleish is a master tactician. A bit of humour may brighten up my day.

I think I will see in end of May if I have an opinion on McLeish then. Think it is quite early and short sighted to have an opinion now.

Perhaps,

But..

Is it really that shortsighted? Have you seen the way we are playing?

Im not sure sacking him at this very moment is a good idea, but after 15-20 games and it hasnt improved, then we should be looking at a replacement before its too late.

May may very well be too late.

Haters itching for another loss i see.

God forbid we might play well and win!

Your a fool.

For all we harassed HDE, he actually had/has genuine passion for the club. Still goes to the games as he loves the club

Let us not forget why we "harrassed" him. He came to us from the Small Heath board and called us merely "the men of the terraces". He turned EC winners into a relegated team in 5 years and ignored the best team we have had during the last century during his time at the club because he was not at the helm when they were at their peak. He took a huge amount of money out of the club in salary and when he sold to RL and he was also happy to name a stand after himself. Does he buy a ticket like we do to go to the games? HDE had a passion for money and the status that being our chairman gave him. His most recent claim was that he hand picked our new owner and MON. But enough of our former ruler. What makes it so sad for me now is that our bright future appears to have been allowed to become a bleak one so soon.

Excellent post

When reason fails resort to scare tactics - 'be careful what you wish for' etc.

The Club is heading downhill very fast. it is time pressure was put on Randy in the same way as it was with Ellis - tehir differences are now outweighed by more important similarities.

Why do people quote Blues or Portsmouth etc when talking about the perils of new owners ? They were small time Clubs who attracted and were attracted by poor quality buyers.

What about Spurs, Man City, Chelsea, United, Sunderland, Liverpool, Stoke, even Wolves for starters. All have new or relatively new owners who, whilst in each case having varying degrees of faults, have - so far - progressed their Clubs.

I loved Randy but he is now doing no more for the Club than I could, but with less passion.

Why not let the man get on with his job? We have only had a few games into the season, and some here are already looking for the chop. Silly stuff.

Whats silly is your overwhelming denial.

If we let the man get on with his job, then he will most likely take us down.

They let him get on with his job at Small Heath.

And he relegated them twice.

"Can we afford to get rid of Mcleish "

Can we afford to get relegated?

This.

Or in other words.

What is the cost of relegation? 20m? 40m?

What is the cost of Mcleish' compensation? 3m? 5m?

If it gets any worse, Which I predict it will, then he has to go.

The whole thing is utter madness. Utter. Madness.

Why is Mcleish our manager?

Shit Premier League team?

Disliked?

Don't think either are the case.

I very much dislike him as an owner. Just as I disliked Ellis.

Look at our situation now...is it that much better than it was under Ellis? I look at our starting XI On paper now compared to when Ellis sold and whilst we may have improved slightly, its nothing major.

Lerner has made a massive profit out of AVFC and will continue to do so as he sells off our star assets. The Holte Pub etc were investments, They werent done for the fans, ultimately they will make him a massive profit.

Not only that, he just hired a manager who relegated Birmingham City playing boring football....

Ive watched 5 games this season and have been bored silly watching boring football throughout. What is to like about our owner? His tattoo?

People tell me he has invested heavily into the club. He has, but its all for him, nobody else. I guarantee the day Lerner walks away from our club, he will have made millions.

Sorry, I dont rate the bloke. He is a failure in the NFL and is slowly bringing us down over here in England.

IMO of course.

Randy is either overseeing his shit NFL team in America where he is disliked or overseeing his shit Premier League team in the UK where he is disliked.

Either way, he's rich as **** so I doubt he cares.

Newcastle are a good side

They are not, at all.

Agreed. They are not terrible, but we made them look like Barcelona today sitting back and inviting the pressure. I just dont know what system Mcleish is trying to implement in midfield.

I mean, Is Petrov now our playmaker? The bloke's awful.

My favourite line of yours was .... - 'we wont always be crap'.

See, We've been crap for 20 years and your telling us we wont always be crap? This after we sold our two best players and appointed a poor manager? Why the optimism we wont always be crap? What do you see at the moment that is positive about our performances? Our goalkeeper? Ill give you that one.

Haters just love to hate, everything is terrible!

Playing shite and still getting a result, not that bad then.

We seem to be very bloody lucky every week according to some, or perhaps we're sorting out our shocking defence from last year and adjusting to a new manager.

We wont always be crap, chill out.

Your posts are ridiculous. Am I allowed to say this?

'Playing shite and still getting a result'....When you say result...what does this mean?

We keep drawing against sides we need to beat. Does this not bother you. Does it not bother you that we have increasingly tough fixtures coming up and we arent winning games against the easier opposition?

Does it not bother you we have a manager with a record of getting relegated and he seems to have set up us up identically to the team he just got relegated?

Does this not mean anything to anyone?

It hasnt been a great start to the season. Id class it as 'bearable'. The performances have been poor and we do not have as many points on the board as we should.

Thats without mentioning its utter boredom to watch.

Oh well, get worked up when something bad actually happens.

Villa fans need to appreciate relegation anyway, become obsessed with money and how much or little we're spending.

Villa fans always get themselves in a pickle and overact, that along with moaning is unfortunately what we're known for.

What?

Dross.

Terrible today. Gives the ball away in very dangerous positions. Worried about his progression.

We are a poor side.

We badly need points like this in order to avoid the drop, so im pretty happy today. Hopefully sneak a point at QPR and then beat Wigan.

Outfought, Outclassed, Outplayed.

A very good point against a side who dominated on the day.

Points like this will be vital in order for us to avoid relegation. Sneak a win here or there against the likes of blackburn, bolton etc. and we will be ok.

Hmmmm,

Definately second best here. Probably fortunate to be 1 up. N'zogbia and Delph = poor.

Basically, the team that played against Everton? fair enough.

I Want Bannan in the team without a shadow of a doubt but not as an AMC. I think he drops too deep to play the role and you could see Bents anger that none of the midfield were close enough to him.

I would also love to see Ireland given a go.

Truth be told, we have all these Central midfielders and I honestly dont know who the right choice is.

I share your hatred towards Petrov and I also think he slows down everything we do but who do you play instead? Gardner? Im not sure throwing the kid in just yet is the right choice.

Our central midfield is a lottery. God knows who to pick.

You think Bannan and Ireland are defensive enough and Petrov mobile enough to play a midfield three? Not a hope. We'd get butchered by a div 2 team with that midfield.

I see your point, who would you play then?

--------------Bent----------------

Gab--------Ireland---------N'Zog

--------Bannan---Petrov-----------

Is What id go with against Newcastle. It wont be though.

Hopefully not. We'd get murdered.

What would your team be then?

--------------Bent----------------

Gab--------Ireland---------N'Zog

--------Bannan---Petrov-----------

Is What id go with against Newcastle. It wont be though.

Great news he's injured.

We might actually see a player in the AMC role now that actually knows how to pass and dribble rather than one who just wins headers and helps defensively.

Regardless of what anyone says, I hate seeing this player on the team sheet as the bloke is utter toss.

Step forward Bannan/Ireland/Jenas.

Very surprised the ball actually got off the ground! The freekick later in the game was more Petrov like...straight along the ground!

Seriously though, great goal from the lad but it doesnt change my stance that he shouldnt be in our side.

Always raved about the lad and thought he would become a quality player for us. After recent performances, I still think he can get better but maybe not reach the levels I expected previously.

He still has time though and i'd probably play him instead of Petrov.
