  1. Every single one of them gentlemen as well. Met them all at Bodymoor - that was when you could literally be waiting for them to come out of the changing rooms - have a chat, get a photo and so forth - Ron and co cared about their public.
  2. Gosh I really think he did get more abuse than Bruce and for longer imo. Lambert is a good guy and very respectful - I hope he can reinvent himself at Ipswich in much the same way that launched his career with Norwich.
  3. Absolutely 100% agree - Mcleish is a football man through and through - should never have taken our job and taint himself along the way - but hey we're Villa and when we come knocking not many say no - I agree he conducted himself in an admirable manner - Bruce take a leaf out of his book. I sincerely hope Mcleish does get another shot somewhere in England. This said I cannot lie - I rejoiced the day he left - but not as much as the day Bruce left.
  4. Of course JV - but we don't know this is going to happen do we? We do however know that we are playing with confidence and momentum and of course players also get injuries whilst training
  5. I totally agree and right now we need him firing on all cylinders for us - starts ahead of Davis everytime for me. lets get behind him I say
  6. With the very greatest of respect it's neither of these two. I'll apologise in advance in case you are kidding ? But Saunders, Atkinson, Taylor slug it out for this honour - with Saunders getting my vote ahead of Big Ron
  7. Personally TRO I would not rest anyone unless they are carrying an injury - right now the players are enjoying themselves and probably can't wait for the next game - I would not jeopardise momentum or confidence based upon ifs, buts and maybe. I also think it unlikely anyone would appreciate a rest - in case someone comes in and performs even better
  8. Again I agree to a point - but the moment you call out your own fans, the game is over and will only go one way unless you are constantly winning football matches - the guy is too much in love with himself and his own recommendations imo TRO
  9. Great post as always TRO - but for me the song remains the same. 1 goal might as well have been 20 - Bruce was tasked with gaining promotion and he failed - which was pretty miserable imo. My overview of his tenure is this could and should have done better - and his cheap shots at his own public will linger for some time.

    John Terry

    Really TRO ? I thought he did a dreadful job, given what was available to him throughout his tenure. Can you just imagine where we would be if he was still here ?
  11. To be fair - I'm sure sure hippo is not saying he wasn't behind Deano from the start - just that he maybe had some doubts regarding his suitability for the post - which I think in fairness others also expressed these thoughts.
  12. Let's hope he starts with the same mentality that he showed when coming on against Rotherham - if he does - this will go a significant way to negating Tammy's absence.
  13. I liked Wally to be fair - seem to recall he was one of the first to execute the step over on a routinely basis.
  14. Yes your right - I remember now - was it 1-1? Am I right about him scoring twice in 45 mins against Liverpool ?
  15. I remember the game against Liverpool ( might have been his debut?) Think he scored twice in the first 45 - Deano - Deano absolutely bellowed out from the Holte end. oh for those days - @TRO eh?
  16. Personally I would urge caution here - it's not so long ago that we were abject without Jack. yes I acknowledge that currently the team is playing with confidence and momentum that will compensate for Jack not being present in the short term - but I would not want to be without him for another game. You only have to look at how he started and finished the move for his goal on Wednesday to confirm his importance to the team. Imo
  17. Wingers TRO - it's an age old issue. if you get one in 6/7 from them your doing ok
  18. I just felt McGinn was awesome on Wednesday and personally I would keep the same shape tbh with you
  19. I hope you are right - why do u think Whelan will start?
  20. Your right - but I am very worried that Mings is out
  21. I agree - I have to confess I was excited when Lambert got the job and very dissapointed it never worked out for him. But I totally get what you say about Brian.
