Popular Post Neil Posted January 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'll give him something that a lot of our other managers hasn't had. When I watch him doing interviews, I don't feel a desire to punch the screen. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I like how cup games have to be included to improve Sherwoods win ratio. Second to none? More like second to nan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garde on the other hand walked into the most horribly poisonous situation and has been tasked with creating a football team from the various shattered pieces left behind. It was an already hopeless situation, the fact he has managed to get a performance from this group like last night is a minor miracle IMHO. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 10 hours ago, Neil said: Sometimes I wonder if us fans expect too much, and maybe we don't see the bigger picture. But we were all calling this team in the pre-match thread, I even used the words "tasty"...low and behold a good selection went on to play better and won. Neil, we don't know the half of it..... we only see what happens on match day. sure some have snippets from the inside, but even then, it is only snippets. Great building block last night....credible performance with all players buying in.....great result and importantly at Home. lets see if we can apply a tad of consistency to it, by putting in a performance on Saturday......baby steps. our record at home has been turgid, so this was great.

But we're clearly becoming harder to beat, even if it's still far from good enough. Edited January 13, 2016 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arj Guy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Great that Remi got his first win last night but it will mean nothing if we don't build on it. Too many times this season it has been 1 step forward followed by 2 steps back. For example we got a good point against Citeh and then followed it up with a heavy loss at Everton. Played well at home to West Ham and then put out two gutless displays at Norwich and Sunderland. I think we're down but please Villa build on this win and try to get at least 4 points from the next two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood - 3 wins and 1 draw in 12 games. 4 points from 10 league games. Not much in it. But a big improvement last night and hopefully leads to more wins and more points. Or presented in a less Sherwood-centric manner Sherwood's last 10 PL Games = 1 points Garde's first 10 PL Games = 7 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless though his time is in the past and I think as a club we spend too long looking back and wallowing in what we think so and so did wrong and focusing on those that have f all to do with us going forward. For the first time in a very long time we have a positive result to build on. Lets focus on that and look forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just now, bobzy said: Agreed - thought Pardew was brilliant in his interview. Not to derail the thread too much, but Pardew has almost resembled a decent human being since being at Palace. Completely different character to his Newcastle days, and always seems to speak well of our club. Back on topic, I think that lacklustre nature of the performance against Wycombe could have worked in our favour. I think Garde wanted to use the game to see which players wanted the fight, hence his team selection against Palace. Hopefully we can get something against Leicester to build some momentum. Plus, we owe them one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
