Stratvillan

I'd have loved dan james tbh. But he's not leaving manure.

Dont get what he does. I do t think I've left a game thinking he dominated that. 

I think whatever position you play, you can dominate in 1_1 battles or by excelling in distribution. 

I think hed be an outstanding player in a slower league. 

This is my criticism of Smith. We are set up to play with 2 wingers and none of them are particularly good. Is this Smith's fault for persisting with them? But then again, we cant play two up top because we only have Ollie and Keinan!

Smith just hasn't got what it takes. He should be sacked at the end of the season and replaced with a top European Manager.

No problem with upgrading. Who do you suggest?

But smith is not allowed to be criticised he is doing a good job 

He is allowed to be criticised.

I've repeatedly said his obsession with playing wingers, when our wingers are poor is a problem.

I cant blame him for having to choose any one on the bench to improve the starting 11

You have a go and focus on what you are watching

Ok

We have a lower premier league team (without jack)and we are 10th.

Always ends up being the players when we are shit. When we are winning it’s all Smith. 

No it's not. A vocal minority ste continually doing the exact opposite. We win, it's the players, when we lose its Smith. 

How many of our mid and forward get into a top 10 team?

Can't believe Grealish fooled everyone into believing Smith is actually a semi decent manager at this level.

Been carrying him for 2 years straight

Name the manager who would do better with these players that's available.

Problem is all 3 of our wingers are pretty much Championship standard at best and Barkley was supposed to supplement Jack in the creative department and he's been extremely disappointing. 

We know the problem and have tried to rectify it but have recruited badly.

Totally.

I think that'll change now that the faint Hope's of Europe have gone.

Give them some game time this season. See if they can offer the squad something from the bench next season. 

Elmo, taylor davis - out

2 New wingers, so Jack can play no 10

1 centre mid. 

These 3 have to be quality.

I've love a winger who can

a)cross, or b) dribble past players. Or if we buy quality both.

If we had jack last night we win 3 0.

League 1?

Jokeworthy.

I'm done with this useless lot, playets, coaches, manaher and all.

Not good enough to a man.

See you next season.

Bye.

Well I'm questioning what is happening in training, why isn't he getting the best out of his players. It's been pretty pathetic for quite some time. 

I'm not suggesting to sack Smith but something needs to change. Can't always rely on Grealish.

I wouldnt disagree, but some of the players are championship, or bottom third premier league.

Elmo

McGinn

Barkeley

Trez

El Ghazi

None of them bad, but squad players at best.

Watkins put in possibly the worst performance of a Villa player this season 

 

Nothing like a considered response.

Just now, supermon said:

Pathetic, not cos of the last minute goal but cos we didn't even deserve to win that game, we were shit. 

Smith has a lot to answer for, losing patience with him

What would you have done differently?

Mid table squad. 

Top half defence

Grealish

Why would the club be open? I like the idea of Brucie having sleepless nights about Jack's return.

It's ok, we are going for Haarland.

We are not signing benteke. He doesnt fit in to any number of criteria, age, wages, sell on, pace etc.

If hes as good as everyone reckons he should bring in 10 m in the summer
