Really not going to enjoy this. Hated the arsenal game. This is going to be worse.

Worried more about Bournemouth than Watford. Glad that we've come back much stronger after the restart, come what may it fills me with hope for next year. Hope that post game if we lose the reaction is measured both at the club and VT, as we will all be gutted. If we look at other clubs across the city or up north it can always be worse!

Agree, its Bournemouth who worry me most. Important we stay in the west ham game as long as possible. Cant afford to go 1 down and panic

I do love clicking on who votes the lowest for Smith. It's like a fun bingo game for the whole family.

I agree. But we cant give him away because of the fact we like him. We need to do a Daniel Levy.

If someone pays what hes worth hes welcome go. Hes served us well. We have no obligation to let him go for 1p less than hes worth.

He can bugger off. Part of the worse villa team I've ever seen. Not lacking in ability, lacking in ability to give a toss.

But if we beat west ham by less than Watford beat arsenal!

Agree totally. McGinn being out meant playing nakamba, and not conor. Which shoved jack wide. But up front, Tammy would have scored 15. I'm not sure Davis and Samatta, could score 15 between them in the championship

The improvement since lockdown is considerable. If only we had a centre forward.

I dont disagree, but who? Who is leaving a top flight club to come to the Championship? I'm happy to accept Bielsa did. Who's next?

I wonder whether some posters adopt the sack Smith and appoint top European manager to their every day lives I dont like my house, I'll sell it. I quite like Buckingham palace, perhaps they'll sell it to me. I know it's unlikely but what's the harm in trying? Well you'll be without a home. I dont like my job, I'll sack it in. I've always fancied being a model, despite being middle aged and over weight. Damn, I'm unemployed. I'm an underperforming Yoyo club, I'll sack a manager who has got us promoted in 6 months, got us to wembley, underperformed in the league. And replace him with a top european manager. What could go wrong?

And replaced by?

So Jeff Bezos and Poch. As a dream team then.

Sacking not snacking - I dont like him that much !

Cheers, a valid response. But this seems to be the point of this thread. Who is available, not if they're better. Hughton is a shout, but got sacked for poor football at brighton. If previous promotions are the measure should we look at bruce, warnock, prior to a week ago ignore Bielsa. I've no problem snacking Smith when we get relegated. Let's not kid ourselves, sacking for sacking sake doesnt work. 1980s dr Joe, Turner, McNeil ( havent checked order). 2000 - haven't got the energy to type in the poor appointments. Sticking with a manager isnt a guarantee of success, neither is exchanging.

Until someone names someone viable, this thread is pointless.

As much as we'll sell him, and want outgoings done early. Itd be interesting to wait until a few British players have been sold internally. It's impossible to gauge the market until then.

Interesting what will happen to fees now that an untried youngster who has never played top flight has gone for 25m. Never seen him play (for obvious reasons), so not a dig, but we were told transfer fees would be depressed by covid. I'd wait to see what the market looks like before sanctioning deals next monday.

Someone's going to be disappointed. Theres no way we are selling grealish, mings, mcginn, luiz,

For those in a rush to jettison Smith. What an awful line up. Terry 10-1

This is it for me. If there's a better manager replace him, if not keep him.

No scapegoats for me. Again the game changed with the subs. We dont have any. Even in hindsight what subs could we have made?

Who ever posted very poor on Smith, hopefully it was ironic.
