They just look bad. The situation they are in is making them seem worse than they are… Just like we made a 34 year Willian look like the next big thing tonight.

I can see and hear all of the points. I find myself agreeing with everyone! What I can’t shake is the feeling that this bad run could be fixed by the players. We beat Leeds Forest and very possibly Chelsea if chances are taken and errors not made. Then where do we stand? Well….we are sitting pretty in the top half (in my dream world) can a manager stop Mings soft header to Mount? Can a manager make McGinn volley instead of header against Forest? Don't get me wrong here I’m still thinking SG isn’t the man. I just think the new guy will be like the bloke who walked away with the jackpot after SG has been putting his wages into the machine for the past couple hours.

True Roy Keane and Caragher both layed into the players last night. Dean Saunders also on Talk Sport. Whilst it’s quite clear they are not performing and should take some responsibility the narrative is generally “Stevie is doing everything he can but is being let down the players”

It’s is what it looks like though I’ve being trying to ignore it but I can’t yet again the Villa have bought a great player at the wrong stage of their career.

Transfer Failures (or mis-management?), over the last 3 years
MarkLillis replied to MaVilla's topic in Villa Talk
We were on the right track…..signing Ollie, Matty Cash etc. We we’re developing an identity. We have now decided that our identity should be aligned with Steven Gerard's. This will be the inevitable reason for our success or downfall. -
Reading this it’s sounds more like Jacks team than Deans! God knows I wish Jack had been a Villa fan…..he might have stayed and fought with us

Why does it make you happy?
-
Most are right

Haha I have said if before never knew a Wolves fan when I lived in Brum but since moving over to Shropshire there are loads. Same here…..they are a rarity in Brum/Smethwick where I grew up.Now I’m near Stourbridge and to be fair to them they are everywhere. Also nearly are deluded….they remind me of Small Heath fans.
-
Yes it was. I'm sure if there is a genuine need to sack SG they will continue to be ruthless too... To qualify that statement....yes i don't think there is a genuine need to pull the trigger.... Yet!

Moment when you knew a Villa manager was done
MarkLillis replied to KentVillan's topic in Villa Talk
Preston at home (cabbage gate) Bolton at home Preston away Forest away All games that come to mind when I think about when I knew the end was near for the current manager. What is it about Preston -
This cant be true.... We never make a profit on players somebody accept the bid before Arsenal realise

Midnight remember

Most fans don't watch their team week in week out...there are millions of fans who never get to the ground. They watch the highlight reel on MOTD and go on forums or worse.... make their judgements based on computer game statistics....
-
I would suggest its got something to do with knowing or working with a Dingle.... "Eeees shite mar mate! Yow con av arr cast offs if yow loike, weem on the way oop! Moind de gap arrr kid.....
-
Alongside Kamara he strengthens the midfield. He will allow our Centre backs the protection they need and ,maybe then they can perform a little better too. Alone he might not be a great player but he would slot into an unfilled hole for me (Owweerrr did i say that out loud )
-
so we haven't sunk that low then............................................................yet!

But this hasn't happened?

Don't see much wrong with this. If hes used correctly he will be an effective player. The bit in bold is the bit that worries me....

This thread is opening my eyes. There are loads of players that I didn’t even know where shit……until they are linked with us! Educational

Like I said This is not a post about SG he may fix it….he may get sacked and someone else may fix it.
-
Whilst not keen on sacking managers this often….I am in agreement here.
-
Again I’m not posting about Gerrard and his record going back into last season. Im posting about the fact that we are four games into a season. Four.
-
Yes it is a just bad start to the season. Ive never heard of anyone getting relegated because of games that were lost the season before. Its not a post in support of SG Its just a post about what is happening right no which is a bad start to the season nothing more nothing less. It can and most probably will be fixed
-
Whilst yesterday was a bad result especially with Arsenal and City coming up.We we’re inches away from taking the lead in the first half and lost to deflected goal. Reverse those pieces of bad luck and we are 8th. Ive watched two Villa sides get relegated in my time both were horrendously bad full of players not capable of competing in the division they were playing in. This squad is nowhere near that. Do you think West Ham fans think they going down? Or Wolves? Its a bad start to the season! We win the first 4 a couple of years ago and finished 11th We lost the first 4 in 97/98 and finished 7th (not on this but the year we signed Collymore)
