Did they put him in goal.

So is this the start for Sid the manager?

When the away fans turn it is game over

If you look who is in tenth now stoke its easy to say just 10 crap teams in a poor premiership

Positive them glasses are not his

Think the next manager should be English speaking.

Has had his chance but like my dentist offers nothing but pain and agony then expects you to return.

Even when watching a reserve side I expect them to be organised and capable of putting a few passes together to appear to be a well drilled unit. There has been no improvement at the villa in recent times and that has to be the manager and his coaching staff, same mistakes and lack of any football knowledge every week resulting in panic and hoofball at every game. We cannot simply keep this setup going on as it doe's not have the ability to do the basics and no extra time will change the lack of any idea from the coaching staff on how to pass the ball from one player to the next. We are a side that is easy to score against and we do nothing about it even big sam looks a genius at west ham against our poor blinkered management.

It would seem that any sort of defending is just not on the schedule at training sessions and in the management thinking at aston villa, most teams build a solid back line and centre of the park and then think about the attack. The complete reverse happens with our set up so if the forwards do not perform at 100% we have nothing to build on and lets face it if benteki scored every chance he got  he would not be at villa park. Even in the championship you see solid defences and well set up teams so money is not the major factor in the inconsistency we show, it is all down to football thinking within your management and coaches and the stlye of play they choose to adopt.

Think it is obvious to everyone that Doug has taken benteke for training this week.

Well Portugal worked then,seemed like the front three stayed in different resorts and have not seen each other for the last month.Giving out perks before they have been earned always leads to the attitude and arrogance of the job is done why bother.Today was so predictable and on the cards only the dazzled few could not see it coming, put a big man on benteke, stop the long ball game and there is no other tactic to deal with, wait till they tire and grab the winner. Aftermatch interview manager will say we were great no problem!

Big Sam will not have an easier game, bully the back two, put pressure on the brainless midfielder who always turns left and let Collins soak up all the hoof ball villa throw at you. The daft lad cole said what about tactics and game plans boss, Big sam replied this is villa park and paul lambert nuff said!    "sorry boss"

Just showed yesterday the importance of using the transfer window correctly and not wasting your loans ,left back was a must, a midfielder was a must, a central defender was a must, we got another forward so we could play hoof ball. When you build your house with a pack of cards generally it falls down.

At last a team and performance we have been waiting for, Bertrand streets ahead of what we have witnessed at left back and gabby playing at a level we have all known was in there but well hidden. Vlarr solid in defence and if clark can cut out his rash moments and wrestling moves we might have a partnership, Guzan at  fault for the penalty a guy going nowhere who just needs shepherding and you launch yourself at him, stonewall pen, pity from a guy who has been decent all season. Better by all concerned but hope our manager can move forward and learn how to change a game when things  are not working as rogers did to bring them back into the match.

Having lived through the doug elliss times and restrictions this is just a drop in the ocean . Remember the dean saunders fiasco at his best then.

plus you have to be on the pitch to do that

mellberg or vlarr ?

In Luna we bought a player with a major fault in full backs, lack of pace without the ability to be in the right position when needed, how our management team missed this and the coaches fell for it is unbelievable. Can they spot anything ?

What happened today was totally to do with poor organization,bad start to the week with the do we don't we want the fa cup and the lack of discipline throughout our club  that gave  the impression that no one cares for this game. We have players that think they are paul scholes but only tackle like him and very few that can play as a team and only for the team. Sheffield came and applied themselves as a unit, for their team and their club , Good luck to them, we are beyond that.

Thought benteke looked something like his old self today and did the job we know he can do. Was good to see gabby sweating at the end of a game and giving a display we have been waiting for, complete with a goal we all know is in his locker. Sunderland were poor in most departments and therefor we cannot get carried away with a game we need and should win.Looked like the wage structure had set in PL couldn't afford a jacket.

Looked ok for the first 20 mins and then the panic mode set in, Hoof ball after that and no direction from the sidelines.The coaches are acting like parents in the mini league  blinded by their little boys lack of ability. Reminded me of all those school games when you had to pick sides and the useless kids were left last, We got all those kids that was left. Gumps the lot of them. 

If true, could be the reason for the lack of discipline at the club, if the staff act like this what message goes to the players.

Great policy for advancement, just lower the bar. A message for non achievers

Now that teams know just to sit deep against us, it is the managers job to prove his worth and get this bunch of individuals to try and do the basics in the game. Most cannot trap or deal comfortably with a ball,  all just resort to panic mode and hoof the ball straight to an opponent, who knows what is happening on the training ground because nothing improves and the same senseless fouls are seen time and time again only for us to be punished by a useless stoke side that should be put to the sword.The lack of discipline in the side is beyond belief and putting the team first is not even on the agenda, we all know most of these players are not premiership quality and are well out of there league, but just do the simple stuff well, cut out the naivety and grow up as a unit . The management and coaches are failing to stop the endless yellow cards for stupid tackles by reckless boys and bring some maturity to our play and therefore keep our small squad on the pitch longer. They are all Gumps  and we are going nowhere.

I see this was the week for charitable deeds randys donation the hospital visits, rumour was that luna reckoned he was a left back pity they didn't keep him in the psychiatric ward and then we donate the match. Awful bunch of players that need to get a football for Christmas and try to learn what it is for, GUMPS the lot of them. 

Not a brain in sight

Gumps the lot of them.
