Early days yet - he got the win he told us would be the platform, let's hope he utilizes it well and we really don't look back.
-
Needs to do that consistently - he was excellent today, a far cry from the vast majority of his performances this season. Hope he keeps it up.
-
I love his enthusiasm and work ethic but he's got to practice his crossing - a lot of promising attacks amounted to nothing because his final ball wasn't good enough. He's got the determination to do it, just hope he has the ability too.
-
Well won pen and a couple of decent crosses but the sooner we get cissokho back defending, the better. Lowton at LM could work but his lack of pace and positioning puts a lot of pressure on the team at times, like when Okore bailed him out after he was stranded in no man's land.
-
It's a fair comment - he's got a hell of a lot of making up to do before people will get on his side.
-
He just can't be bothered - horrific work rate.
-
We've been the better half against Newcastle - Sherwood's higher tempo play looks promising but it doesn't matter for shit when you're 1-0 down.
-
Certainly looks that way - hopefully Sherwood will find it in them somewhere.
-
The problem there is that there is a hell of a lot less pressure on Burnley to succeed and that gives them a bit of freedom. I'm not sure about Leicester or QPR given their owners and the amount spent but certainly Burnley are in that boat.
-
I wouldn't - he's got the worst attitude in the entire squad and has never looked remotely arsed when playing for us. I'm really looking forward to the day he's no longer a Villa player.
-
Those things aren't just about fitness though - confidence and motivation also play a part there.
-
I'm happy that he's finally cutting it at senior level - it'd be great if he came back and turned into the player we all hoped he would become.
-
In before 'Shitwood'. Best of.luck to him - hope it works out.
-
True but I think it's better to go for somebody that is as small a risk as possible, given the situation we find ourselves in.
-
Not sure why people want Prandelli so much - not really proven himself to be that great a manager, in all honesty.
-
He hasn't managed in almost 10 years.
-
No offense but I'm glad you're not the one in charge of hiring our new manager. I wouldn't want any of those guys. Any reason? Ranieri - because he's won very little in his career and despite having ridiculous funds to spend at Chelsea, achieved absolutely nothing there. Laudrup - because he's a fraud. He's a big name who doesn't really know anything about management. He barely turned up to training when he was Swansea boss. Meulensteen - not managed to cut it as a manager, despite a few attempts. He's a great assistant and a great coach but they're different jobs.
-
There's ability there but he seems totally bereft of confidence. I don't think moving to us at this time was a good move to get it back.

Hope the new manager builds a team around him tbh - he's got fantastic ability.
-
I think Gabby is very influential in the 'dressing room' as it were - seems to be well-liked and any manager coming in needs to handle him properly.
-
A lot of coaching experience there - bit of a gamble seeing as he's never managed before but worked under some great managers (Hiddink, Ancelotti) and seen how things should be done at some big clubs.
-
Disagree - I don't think necessarily having an older manager is that important. I agree with experience and knowledge of coaching but this can be done in a matter of years - which is why I'd like us to go for Karanka.
-
I like this idea but I'm not sure he'd go for it.
-
Yep - absolutely. No ill will from me there but it just wasn't working out.
