Personally I've seen nothing in J2M that would make me select him for the relegation battle we have ahead. Too much of a luxury. Can't tackle and is a defensive nightmare.

Needs a full pre season before he's judge but he does play a mean short pass. Bet he's brilliant in the 5 a side training

Micflair- We're getting into Lime Street at 11.45 and going into Wetherspoons opposite the station.

5 adults and 3 boys your welcome to join us

I'm L4 row p seat 99 just to the right of the goal and the view is above the goal. Great View but i personally wouldn't want to go any lower

8:01 train to lime street from new street. Massive game lets get behind the boys!!

Whats the cost of that please

For me this is one of the biggest games in our recent history. Everything about us at the minute spells trouble. From the record financial losses to the decenting players and the rifts within the camp. Lose this one and I dread to think what will happen.

Time for us all to play our part and get right behind the lads. We may need to be patient but a win tomorrow is vital.

Come on lets inspire the team victory and premiership safety

I tried to get in the Harvester a couple of years ago with my then 7 year old son and they wouldn't let us in. home supporters only unless its changed since

Gotta say to those guys that went, thanks for keeoing me sane. I was so thoroughly depressed at the selection and our surrender but the Villa fans made me realise that this is why I love going to away games and despite the crap that went on and no matter how pissed off I was at the game last night I'm already made for it at Bolton on Saturday

Woodytom - I'm sure you would love to go to more games and if you were able, I'm absolutely certain that if you were forking out your hard earned money, taking time from work etc etc you would have a slightly different view

Do I want a refund? No you pays your money you takes ya chance.

What I would like is a manager that gives us a chance and stops **** us from behind

The sooner that idiot is out of our club the better.

Never have I been so angry watching AVFC and I've seen some shit in my time.

what is the injury situation with Young and Collins. Can't see us winning with back that played Saturday. I'd like to see if available and ready

Walker Dunne Collins Young

Albrighton NRC Petrov Downing

Young

Heskey

The romance of the cup will see up defend like mad for 90 minutes and then we will snatch an injury time winner with a deflection off Gareth Barry' arse.

Can't wait I hope we sell our allocation

J2M has clearly demonstrated over his first few games that he is a fine player when he has the ball, moves it quickly, simply and is always available for a return. However its when he hasn't got the ball that worries me. For all his fine attributes this is an area of his game that needs major improvement hence the bollockings he is receiving. He doesn't get close enough and allows players to run off him. Maybe this is just the pace of the game and it may take him time to adjust. Until then I can't get overly excited by him. However if he gets it right will will have a great player in the making

I hope the team are more positive than most on here.

Romance of the cup will see us go there and win against all the odds backed by 5k villaboys.

Bring it on I say

slightly off topic -

The bells are ringing had little pockets of lads singing it last night but it didn't quite catch on.

Keep persisting pls

Do I think Makoun is a bad player? No. Do I think he played well last night? No. Do I think he'll come good for us? Maybe but he'll need to improve the defensive side of his game and clearly his fitness by a long long way, to be looking tired at 50 minutes, just after half time is someone a long long long way off the fitness levels required.

I just wish people would stop looking through rose tinted glasses and look at things objectively than jumping to a players defence because it suits an argument. I said a few days ago after we'd signed him that he would need quite a bit of time to adjust to the PL and I'd give him all season to do that. I stand by that and I think last night proved me right tbh he's way off the fitness levels required, he's way off tactically too, I expected that. What however I thought GH would do is play Petrov for the first 60 and then bring Makoun on for the last 30 as Wigan tired a bit. That would be the best way to introduce him to the PL, a few 30 min sub appearances first, not straight in at the deep end.

Based on what you saw last night who would pick him at OT

Big 3 points for us, but the performance wasn't the greatest.

We're all on here critising Downing and he wasn't great last night but why is he being played on the right and Aggy on the left - Its no coincidence that their form has dipped.

Can some one give me a logical footballing argument for persisting with this.

All you ever hear the pro's talk about is how important it is to have a balanced side yet we continue to contradict that.

Its so frustrating

didn't close down let his runners run off him and thats why Collins gave him such a bollocking.

that was about 10 secs before he was subbed and the only time if i recall

showed a lot of promise if you ask me , not sure what people expected from a player being asked to play a DM role , a hat trick ?

He constantly left his runs and was always 10 yards from closing down in midfield.

Thats the least I expect from a 'defensive midfielder' but as I said he is clearly going to need time

Its totally unfair to judge him on one game but I thought he showed some nice touches when on the ball but that is only to be expected. Defensively he was woeful, didn't close down let his runners run off him and thats why Collins gave him such a bollocking.

He was way way off the pace of the game. He certainly needs games and judging by what I saw last night he isn't going to be the type of player that will make an immediate impact, he will need time. I would much rather he is given time to settle spend a number of game in the reserves and then be steadily introduced.

Overall I was left a little disappointed

A tad harsh but I'm sure some of the old boys will like it

then again maybe not

Its called poetic licence lol

How about a remake of an old Brian Little song

To the tune of my old mans a dustman

Darren Bent is magic

He wears a magic hat

He plays for Aston Villa

And lives in a big posh flat

He scores with his left foot

He scores with his right

and when we play the city

he scores all **** night

Boo Milner errrrrrr I think I'll be concentrating my efforts on welcoming our new goal scorer.

How much did we pay? The chairman has put his money were we wanted it the least we can do is support the players in claret and blue and not even bother with the one's who decided we weren't for them anymore.

the bells are ringing should be slow anyway

bells are ringing is a great song and should be sung more often but its no anthem.

Ghost riders get my vote
