Exactly watkins should be back up striker to ings or wide left as he was at brentford

I’d go for that team but with ings as striker , not ollie

Not sure we got unlucky here - we were to blame for our our downfall , yes the winner was deflected but so was McGinns goal . There was sloppiness and complacency about us I did not like at all yesterday - I felt we played ok for the first 75 mins but nothing more

Maybe JT is being massively missed in his role .

Don’t let the United win paper over the cracks - they had 28 shots in that game and missed a pen - it’s not like we played then off the park and hammered them as we did with Liverpool last year - the pressure will be on smith to get results in the 3 games before the next break - the fact edens was here to witness this farcical collapse will not do smith any favours - there was a lot of anger at full time .

Only wes edens and nas sawiris can say that with any confidence - it’s just your opinion nothing more

Think he is not the right choice as captain , I’d have given it to mcginn - mings makes a lot of errors and needs to concentrate on his own game

He will not get villa into Europe that’s for sure , it’s just a matter of how long he gets before they sack him

In 2018 Wes Edens fired Milwaukee Bucks coach, Jason Kidd, mid season with a 23-22 record. Kidd had been with the Bucks four years and was popular with the players. Edens is not afraid to make decisions-he is a successful businessmen after all. He saw what we all saw today, it’s his money invested .

Many are the same who mouthed off at posters when Grealish was said to be leaving and were proved to be wrong Some people just like the sound of their own voice - it’s a results business , smith has had huge finances at this club - no, ifs buts or excuses - if we do not improve on last season he will 100% be gone

Not from what purslow and the owners have stated in their ambitions - if villa finish 12th smith will certainly not survive as boss

I think that a club like villa could attract someone like that from Brighton irrespective of him being a local lad - villa is still a step up in size and potential .

Graham potter would be my choice .

Dean smith is not a good enough manager to get this club into Europe
