To post we have zero chance in a game is an exaggeration, especially one where the opponents were in such poor form. That played itself out as we lost in extra time.
Still it has been a depressing run of form and no mistake. We are about 4/ 5 players short of a decent mid table team and until we spend we arent going to improve, and I dont think changing the manager will particulary help now. The likes of Sylla just arent premiership level. If we do get drawn into a full on battle and only survive with 1 or 2 games, then I'd change in Summer.
Next week is massive- though I wouldnt put it past us to draw that and go on to win one of the harder ones in front of us. There is also the hope that there are somehow 3 teams worse than us- it wont feel like that to a lot of fans today but read on their forums to see them lamenting certain doom as well. I think 4 points in March, 4 in April and 1 in May will be enough.
There is no way Aston villa is getting higher than 9th for several years though without a change in owner or Lerner waking up- with any manager.
