Jareth Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I don;t think RDM has a full squad yet. How many games has our preffered central partnership player together? That is Jedinak and Tish. Either of them injured leaves us weak. Today was a good result for us and RDM's sub of Tish paid off. Still way too early to call for his head. And we need another transfer window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unfair, unless you can tell me RDM didn't sign our 3 best players this season in RM, JK and AT? Edited September 24, 2016 by Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimmyJimmer Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 We didn't win....sack him. Get someone else in then sack them if they're no better after 10 games. Then get someone else in and give them 10 games...then sack them if its no better. Keep doing this until everyone realises that it might take more than 10 games to get a TEAM to develop. RDM needs to be given a whole season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2016 Doesn't know his best team or formation and makes substitutes too late. Today we needed a double substitution at half time Imo and although Adomah was not setting the world alight I can't understand taking off a winger when you bring on Gestade.

We haven't seen the best of each of these players but it will take time - doesn't matter what they cost, they are all new to each other. Forget about promotion right now, and blumin give this brand new team some time. The booing at half time was complete BS, a hangover from last season directed at a team and manager who were not here last season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 His subs mystified me tonight. Should have taken off Westwood when Tshibola came on. I don't think he lacks ideas as he's tried many formations this season. I just think he's looking for the right formula. I'd stick with him. I think Villa fans would enjoy the season more if we took the following views: Keep calm unless we drop anywhere in the bottom 3. See how the season goes and hope for a chance at promotion. We will go up in the near future but I think this season may prove to be too soon. I'm willing to wait unless it gets desperate this season, which, it isn't yet.

We looked disjointed, like a team full of new players who don't really know how to play together yet...because that is exactly what we are. It needs time, even after 50mill it still needs time. If we make the play offs we will have had a great season from where we were last season. We were the biggest pile of shite going..its gonna take some turning round. What i loved about today was that we were playing crap against probably the best team in the division. We didn't buckle, we didn't cave in, we kept battling away and slowly turned it around..and could have nicked it at the end. We have to learn to dig in and play ugly, and i think we're getting there. Elphick knew he'd had a mare but he didn't disappear, he stuck at it. Really gave me hope tonight. UTV Come on u villa boys 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with 3 at the back against one up front is wrong. At times 1 player covered 3 of ours and other times 2 players contained 5 of ours no wonder we couldn't attack!! Then he picked Bacuna in centre mid and our new winger as wing back!! We were awful 1st half and should've changed shape to get a footing in the game but he did nothing. We could easily have gone to 442 or 433 with the players we had on. In the first 6 games with a flat back 4 we have looked good going forward and pretty solid in games but because of a few late goals he's decided to play 3 at the back. We don't look any more solid but he's managed to nullify our attacking threat. 2 wins this week or he has to go. Hopefully Stoke lose next week and Hughes becomes available. Would you not be worried about the fact your looking for a manager who by the looks of it has lost his dressing room at his present club ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Not looking good. He needs to lose the 5 at the back formation immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 10 awful games, with a mostly negative approach that has yielded 1 win. RDM would be out the **** door already if I had my way. This isn't acceptable in the Premier League never mind the **** chumpionship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my biggest worry. We've gone from dominating the opposition but conceding goals to draw or lose the game. Then playing out dull draws where no one particularly does anything to deserve to win to now getting draws we have not deserved to get. It's been a linear deterioration and if the line continues it leads to defeats. Every game I think he will turn it round and the season will start but I've moved from thinking we're on the verge of giving someone a kicking to thinking were on the verge of receiving a kicking. He absolutely must turn this sharpish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hopefully he does give up the 3 at the back but decent point in the end. So hard to knock him too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he would have purchased all the materials but taken longer than planned to start the reconstruction. Although we are all annoyed if we put things in to perspective he has only had 8 games.
