How can I know he was a ridiculous selection playing directly up against one of their fastest players but Dean Smith doesn't? Disappointing.

That header was harder to miss once he got there. Bounce it off your face it'll go in nine times out of ten. Taking fee into account, the worst Villa signing ever. Worst striker in the league. Can't think of many worse players to be honest. Confidence has now drained from the whole side due to us getting hardly any points from some fairly decent performances. If we'd signed any old average **** we'd have more points and he'd have about 8 or 9 goals by now. Jay Rodriguez, Ashley Barnes, Neal Maupay, Danny Ings, Andy Carroll, Karlan Grant, any of them. Anyone who knows how to play football. Dean Smith is probably going to lose his job soon. Jack Grealish is definitely going to leave soon. Wes will still be here, occupying defenders and being in the wrong place for 89 minutes of every single match. I can only hope the new coach comes in, wonders what the hell he's doing in the first team and sends him off to the under 18s to learn how to control and kick a football.

God damn quotes messed up. Horrible reading those articles. Missed them first time round. How upsetting that he's got a history. We're still in the past.

He spent his whole time on the pitch trying to hide and not be on the ball. There was a funny moment first half when he got stuck on it and it was an exciting moment for me as he was going make a pass forward. Straight into two Watford players, right at them. Either could have got it. It was so bad I laughed like a nutcase. What the hell he was doing starting this after watching Watford's last two I do not know. Why do I know he's going to hide and get steamrollered but the manager doesn't?

He's got his two disciples who I don't believe have ever had a scouting job before. How can we keep getting it so wrong.

Why is our best player by a trillion miles being moved around to accommodate shite? We're going to lose Grealish if we go down are probably not getting a player this good for another 10-15 years.

It does make sense he should be able to take us up, I agree. However... No Jack Grealish. 433 every game. What happens when we've won 1 of 5 at the start of next season? I'll tell you, it'll be 433 again the next game and the same tactics and players. This thought concerns me. Imagine Wes standing around at Peterborough away as we go down 3-0 with Hourihane waving his arms at the ref for their third. Grim.

It's nice liking the manager, I'm with you. Quite why we're so much worse than the start of the season doesn't really make sense. Points are pretty tight to be honest. Not like we're cut adrift. We won't need many points to stay up this year, the bottom 12 or 13 could probably go down this season. If he was to go it's his own fault. He's flat out refusing to try anything different. Players are too scared to play his football. The players he's been given are not good enough. Disastrous recruitment. We've signed a potent mix of talented cowards and players who aren't good enough for the top end of the Championship.

Can you go as well please?

Fixed.

It's so weird. He's the opposite of the technical player Smith needs to do the pass pass pass he wants. Maybe one day we'll get the full story of how the hell he's ended up here for the money we paid.

This is all correct sadly. Why do we look so much worse than August? Almost all the "new" signings have been a waste of money, but we should be getting better. We're getting worse. I thought he was better than only knowing how to play 433 I must say. Very disappointing. Do I want to see us under Smith without Jack Grealish in the championship? I'm not sure...when he was injured we were abysmal and Deano did exactly what he's doing now. Played the same shape every game, if we tried anything different he reverted quickly because he's not interested in any other formation. Picking Wesley all season is moronic. Team selection and subs in general are an issue. We should still go on to win this. Watford have been terrible.

Don't like thought of Elmo banging it high down the line for Jota to chase and not get near.

I think he's gone Luiz and Lansbury holding as they're comfortable in that position. Played it plenty. I think Hourihane might be left wing. Grealish must be centre ffs.

Team here

Don't like team. Elmo keeps place. Trez + Ghazi out. Hourihane, Luiz, Lansbury, Grealish, Jota all start. Presume Grealish back to LW? Wes starts.

They're our rivals. Don't sing about teams like Wolves or Derby.

He ain't great, but is he better than Trezeguet for less money? Yes. They don't play wingers and Wilder has decided he's not up to it up front anymore so he's fallen out the side. Just an example anyway. Trez has been poor so far.

Raul Jimenez is just incredible. One of the best number 9s in the world. And he plays for **** Wolves.

Yeah I think this time Wilder will go hard early on and land a couple of meaty blows that slow the big man down. Fury will avoid most but won't be able to land enough to get him off. I'm probably underestimating Fury again, I have done his whole career.

I'm sure a £9m bonus for keeping them up again will soften the dent to his ego.

Wow yeah, a 2 year loan! Didn't know that, thought it was a signing. Don't know rules anymore but I think he could play for us as he hasn't played for Frankfurt this season? They could cancel the Milan deal and send him to Birmingham, that's a huge upgrade for the lad. He'll be desperate to play before the Euros and would fit into the team well I think. Might have some competitors.

That Rashica transfer will not happen with us sat so low, it's incredibly unlikely even if we win the next four. The equivalent is pretty much Grealish going and signing for Werder Bremen, forgetting the extra wealth on offer in the PL. He's their talisman and best player by a mile. I reckon we could get Ante Rebic on loan with a purchase price built in from Milan. Not too dissimilar as a player, stock not quite as high as Rashica right now.

Stop debating with a troll!!

All up to him. Being really good isn't enough. He's got to be brilliant again and carry us to results in these next two games.
