Popular Post Davkaus Posted December 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2016 The only thing Sherwood would get from me is a one finger salute, the hopeless **** fraud. Glad to see he could take time out of his busy schedule undermining the manager at Swindon to get his mug on the telly. **** rocket polisher. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players were probably fed up with Lambert and just wanted to play for someone else. That wore out as Timmy were so tactically inept.

He didn't, even though it was clear we were going in one direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no evidence that he was happy for the club to get relegated, or even that he wasn't bothered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 19, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2016 Who cares? I mean seriously in the volumes of the history of our club Sherwood will be a footnote and a possible appendix entry under the header 'a monumental whopper' and not in the Dion Dublin sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got treated like he was some sort of Villa great when in actual fact he contributed massively to the position we are currently in. As Milfner said, he got a better standing ovation than John Gregory did. Hmm I highly doubt your final line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I don't hate the bloke. I don't think he's a very good manager, but I also think he had an impossible job really. There wasn't much hope as soon as Benteke (and Delph left). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tim wants to be a manager, he has to go down a few divisions or try his hand abroad somewhere. He seems to be a likable person who can motivate players, but if you have no shape, or tactical knowledge, your teams will struggle. When Tim first took over, we had a great run of results because we were using Lambert's tactics, but with a team that seem revitalized. Next season when Tim had his time to put his mark on the players, we struggle heavily. Not saying by any stretch of the imagination that Tim was/is a good manager, but when he came in our style was the polar opposite of Lambert's turgid shite. Players were even allowed in the opposition half on occasion, and if we fell behind we were no longer content to defend our one goal deficit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Didn't know John Gregory was there. Absolutely mad that Tim **** Sherwood of all people got a better reception. I've got a lot of respect for JG - he did a good job and you can tell he cares a lot about the club but Sherwood? He's a charlatan, simple as that. On Lambert, while I think he went seriously downhill in the latter half of his tenure, I think he did a better job than Sherwood.

PaulC Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Its been all said before but the football we played when Tim came was like a breath of fresh air. Then we sold Delph and Cleverly went and the engine of the team with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really believe the players just stopped playing for Lambert. Lambert never told the team to go out and not attack whatsoever, but the lack of urgency and complacency in Lambert's final days made it very difficult to get past any midfield or defensive line. Then Tim came in and the players were reinvigorated. There is no way Tim was able to get the team playing his system perfectly in only a few weeks. I really think it was Lambert's tactics but with Tim's ability to fire the squad up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a member of a few FB groups and many were calling for him on there too. Some of our fans aren't that bright. It's mind blowingly baffling. One of the main reasons we're in the Championship and some wanted him back. Absolutely mental. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I've said before and I'll say it again - literally the only thing Sherwood is good at is firefighting for a couple of months. Otherwise he's awful in every aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't been so zoned out from the Christmas party I'd have been very annoyed. Not because of a particular hatred for Sherwood, but merely for the fact it makes us look like utter clowns who understand literally **** all about football and I like to at least pretend I know what I'm talking about! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
