I would go beyond saying it is 'probably' a season of transision to say it is a season of transision. The problem with MON leaving was it undid everything he workd to achieve and the new manager has to start afresh in his efforts to improve us. GH has to be left to instill his ways and mould a team in his style, for this he needs time and I don't think it is fair to make any definitive judgements on him this season.
The one thing I worry about right now is the the lack of steel we have. Yes, we play more fluent football, but we are not solid and if we are not careful this could get us into real trouble. As long as we avoid that, I am fully prepared to reserve my judgement on the new look Villa.
