  1. What is this 'forward pass' our midfield are experimenting with? some sort of witchcraft?

    Graham Taylor

    Absolutely superb post - Sir Graham was the man in charge as I grew up. every ounce of frustration I feel when we lose and every jolt of joy I get from a win or a goal is because of the fanaticism his villa sides installed in me as I grew up. He was a giant for us in a time when we needed it most.
  3. I don't think I've ever seen a more accurate description of our longstanding midfield malaise than this. here's hoping Henri isint the only new recruit in midfield come Feb 1.
  4. I agree. Also if Kodjia could pass to a teammate once in a while we would have a few more points too.
  5. That's not true. I've already seen Westwood lose the ball about 3 times

    Pre match thread

    Very nervous about tomorrow. Derby games mean logic goes out the window and I'm concerned that a bad result tomorrow might kill the momentum we have going right now. Really wish this game was over.
  7. We are making wolves look amazing I think Bruce is getting a dose of reality akin to being hit in the face by a jumbo jet
  8. That last sentence sums up my thoughts reading the forums over the last week or so. What do villa fans think that managers see when they look at us at the moment? I'd be pleased with Bruce, he has demonstrated repeatedly he knows how to get out of this division - that has to be our first priority, the longer we are down here the worse our promotion chances get.
  9. Its so obvious. The hero was inside villa all along . . . .
  10. I want RDM gone but let's not stick on the rose coloured glasses when looking back at that bell end
  11. Tish on the bench ????
  12. I thought baker was unlucky to be subbed today. A formation change was needed but elphick was wobbly and Nathan had just kept us in the game with a mint of a tackle where a few mm out would have meant a penalty and a red card.
  13. I just popped into this thread and there seemed to be a posse getting ready to linch him. I thought he had a good game, constantly looked dangerous going forward, was hamstrung in the first half by the managers dodgy formation to an extent but overall was positive (imo).
  14. Absolutely superb today. We were a completely different proposition with him on the pitch
  15. I do think the next two games are crucial and should to some extent determine his fate. That being said, - I think a decent reason to retain a new manager is that chopping and changing a manager rapidly destroys stability and can do more harm than good. We have had a lot of changes at villa in the last 12 weeks, - bit of stability might not be a bad thing. im not necessarily defending RDM, and I do think results have to improve given the cash spend but I do think the above is a coherent reason.
  16. Regardless of the talk about managers decisions and result I think this game showed us we have some serious players in Tish and Codger; and Adomah is an upgrade on Adama. Now, if we can just show that last half hours urgency for 90 min every week . . . .
  17. Serious question: how is shelvey still on the pitch?
  18. I am very tired of villa always looking like they haven't got a clue what they are doing
  19. I love football. I love villa. for the last number of years I have hated when villa play football
  20. I genuinely don't know what to say.
