Then have another season of having to accept average because its a new managers first season? I have no problem with him being ex blues but the fact is he is an average manager. The two players he bought in have been piss poor, aside from Given he has added nothing to our squad. Home games are shit to go to, even vs WBA today it was shite. Nobody is going to go to away games to watch this defensive crap and hope Darren Bent bangs away the two chances our whole team will create in 90 minutes. Honestly, Id rather we get taken oven by some oil bloke and have him bankroll us to a decent team, would I dislike to have a club that has been sold to the devil? Yes. Would I care if we were winning, playing good football and having european nights and cup finals? Would I ****. Football is all about having a ton of cash, find someone thats got it.

No attempts on target... we scored... Penalties dont count in stats for attempts on target. Not sure why, but they don't. Since when? What a stupid **** rule that is..

He looked a bit hot headed from the start, he always goes in in ways that if he doesn't win the balls its going to end up with him being booked. I could see him or Hutton getting sent off at some point. He has generally played well and gave his all when I have seen him, think he needs to compose himself a bit better.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF

Did you know? Has been involved in three of Aston Villa's last four league goals (two assists, one goal), and has created more chances than any Villa player this season (11). And hes only started about 3 games!

Probably because he was another CB on high wages and AM had to generate funds, while hes here we may as well use him.

James Collins what the **** are you doing

Is that Gardner getting stripped off?

BARRRRRRRRRY BANNNNNNNNNAN!!!!! I LOVE YOU!

PENO!¬

I was hoping that Boring Villa chant was coming from our fans..

So lets get some **** chances and we will be out of sight.

Because hes quality but in this shit team with no centre midfield and no forward movement at all, what do you expect him to do?

Its a matter of time at the moment IMO.

Can we stop playing long balls. Collins shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football.

Given had it covered.

Its not suprising if you have watched the games v Wolves, Newcastle and Bolton. Its so shit to watch, our first shot on target was near the 90th minute. I dont blame people for not coming and saying its crap because it is.

Im a big fan, but he would be the first midfielder on my teamsheet every week. Hes the only one that can **** create anything, little dink ball to Gabby for our goal, we created nothing when he couldn't get in the game second half. Nobody else even thinks to play some of the balls he attempts.

I like Delph but he needs to be able to be more free. I spoke to a Leeds fan and he was a box to box midfielder for them, chipping in with a lot of goals too. Dont see why we can have a formation with Petrov holding, Delph infront of him with either Bannan/Ireland/Jenas besides him. Our full backs hardly get forward so I really hate having two holding players, its the reason we create very little.

Difference is what is going to get the fans paying money to come to Villa Park. Hou - Signed Bent and attempted to get us to become a passing team which was entertaining at times. I doubt we could currently sign a 'Bent' type player if one was available. He had a lot of contacts and could probably sign a lot of players just based on that. Maybe if players like Dunne and Collins weren't such **** bellends the defence would have been sorted. Once he had shipped them out we would have seen how good we could have been. McL - Ex nose which isn't a great start for getting fans to spend money on the club. I admit he has had his hands tied with funds but its still not good enough. Two 0-0s in three games, I dont care what you say, the players he is picking is defensive, Hou wouldn't have had Heskey playing central defensive midfielder! Who is going to want to keep watching this? He doesn't have the pull power to attract big names. Nzogbia could have played under McL at Brum, didn't want to but he came here because the lure is Aston Villa. Hou was more concered about winning games, McL is more concerned about not losing them.

Thats why hes moving to a team in the Champions League..

Lets just loan out a player who wants the ball and can play a killer pass. Bent is getting pissed off, we need to play players who will supply him with chances. Ireland/Bannan/Makoun/Nzogbia can. Petrov, Heskey, Gabby **** cant, they take 5 seconds to decide what to do with the ball half the time.

To be honest, I thought he had more of a turn of pace/another gear when he attacks but he goes backwards a lot and doesn't seem to want to do the full back. I think he would do a lot lot better if we have Bannan/Ireland/Makoun playing because they will get the ball to him quicker as they are just so comfortable on the ball and can pass a lot better than most in our team.

Gards38 Gary Gardner Groins getting better hopefully back training this week.. Yep. Shame that.
