Maybe less stupid to wonder if the can turn things round when form is on the slide? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever we have as a manager, you will hound out unless he wins us back to back PL titles, and then our football is probably dull or something. And that's not a post aimed and you spesifically M. It's aimed at all of you miserable bastards. Just accept we're moving in the right direction and our path will be like the graph of an stock market index. Some months we will struggle, others we will look splendid. My cousin was saying the other day it will all go downhill at home when fans return because of how much we moan! Obviously taking the piss but I have to admit as a fan base we sure to love a good moan at the ground. Wonder if all fans are the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets credit for the good he takes responsibility for the bad. (Not that I see this rule applied very much in this thread.) This a joke? Smith gets slaughtered on here!

Obviously taking the piss but I have to admit as a fan base we sure to love a good moan at the ground. Wonder if all fans are the same? I think that must be the case (or at least I hope so). My local team and first love even before Villa are St Patrick's Athletic, I was watching us play the other day and after about an hour the co-commentator - a former player of ours and our current DOF - said "it's almost a good thing in games like this that there's no fans here as you could imagine the crowd being filled with moans and groans"...we were 1-0 up and currently top of the league after many seasons of mid-table mediocrity! Either I've managed to surround myself with the moodiest two sets of fans on the planet or it really is the case there's no club without it's sizable chunk of vocal pessimists. Gotta love it all the same, spice of life and all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmeedson Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Was it smiths coaching or just Grealish hitting form and then going missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) whatever you think of this season and Dean, we have to find a way of picking up more points without Grealish. Not saying there should be an expectation to be as good as we would be with our best player in the team, but we have to be more competitive and less reliant tactically.

You can't just ignore our horrible 3 months just because we had a great first half of the season. Ignoring our form and us showing relegation form without Grealish doesn't make the problem go away. What if Grealish gets a long term injury at the start of next season? What do we do then? Resting on past laurels is the worst thing you can do in sport.
