Ratings & Reactions: Wigan v Villa

[Skruff]

Disgusting. Wigan press better then us when they are up by 3. And they actually press as a team. Not half arsed one by one 

[hoaxn]

I hope Taylor never pulls on our shirt again.

[villaglint]

Amazingly bad performance, no idea how the side who played Derby/Middlesborough could have got this bad so quickly. Could barely put two passes together. It was as though every single player was stoned don’t know how better to describe it. Wigan are a League One side and they absolutely destroyed us. 

To call it worrying is an understatement.

Smith looks livid. As well he might. That was terrible, our main strengths under Smith, possession, movement, winning the ball high up the pitch and making chances, were all absent. He needs backing heavily for us to be able to do anything this season. If not then he needs backing heavily in the summer so when all those huge contracts expire he can get a team together. 

It's taken 2 or 3 injuries for us to fall apart. When does Grealish get back?

[VillanousOne]

absolute Hause sh*t

[Ouchmefoot]

Wouldn't blame Tammy if he changed his mind after this

[El Zen]

That put a serious dent in my optimism. Feels like the season was lost today. 

Utterly depressing.

[Paddywhack]

I hope the players have more belief than I do that we’ll make the playoffs.

Our performances have slowly been getting worse for 2 months. I thought last Saturday was bad but it was nothing compared to that.

[John]

To have lost/got stuffed by a team that could not buy a win before we turned up like that is a disgrace. 

[Junxs]

Very poor performance.

It would be harsh to pick out individual performances after the whole team were awful, but Taylor is the worst "footballer" ever to play for us

Hause looks terrible, very awkward on the ball and likes to lump it. Lets hope its a Ugo style debut where he goes on to prove everyone wrong after an awful debut.

Want to have a go at Whelan as well, but that was never a penalty. 

[OutByEaster?]

Absolutely awful.

There's no fight in us - the best thing Smith could do right now is wander into the dressing room and start swinging.

Unacceptable performances all over the pitch and what's worse we have no real alternatives in the areas we're weakest. 

Wigan walked it.

No spirit, no fight, no effort, no plan, no confidence, nothing. We were empty. I'm embarrassed.

Hard to see an immediate way out of this problem. 

Season over.

we should just drop anyone who we dont expect to be here next season, promotion is gone, and even if it isnt, i dont want us getting promoted with this horse s*** team.

We need to start developing now for next season, and then hopefully get some new players in this Jan and closed season.

We should be starting Kalinic, Chester, Hause (im sure he will improve), McGinn, Davis, and any other players who we can develop in our expected style of play.

No offence to bloasie, el ghazi, abraham, taylor etc, but i dont even expect them to be here next season, and every game they play this season is taking away development time from someone who will be here, this season is fuc***, lets just accept that and start planning for next season now.

Most of the players cant even play the style DS wants if you held a gun to their head, aka Hourihane, taylor, BB, etc etc etc.

I don't care about Grealish or Tammy. We need to build as if we're going to be here for a while, not this smash and grab yoyo we were hoping to be. It's four years in, we need to start planning for the future. No Bolasie, no Grealish, no Tammy. We need a team of players built from the ground up. And the first thing is getting rid of players who are on big salaries and who are not playing well. We need a Championship wage structure, not a premier league wage structure in the hope we'll get promoted based on money alone. We need to invest in youth and get players in with a bit of heart.

The kind that aren't going to be laughing at Micah Richards' jokes, but instead looking at him with disdain because he has thrown away his career and is a disgrace - like they should have been looking at Gabby when he was here. And N'Zogbia. And McCormack. These players should be made feel ashamed about what kind of men they are, not glorified as having a dream life, which is how I imagine it is in that dressing room. I hate this Aston Villa team. I don't like any of the players. Davis and Hogan maybe I want to do well, and I'd like to see JDH and COH get a chance, but nothing can happen when the atmosphere in the dressing room and around the training ground is as it is. Some players need to be told to stay at home, and the manager needs to go to the press and explain why. 

Promotion this season is out, and with this group of players I wouldn't want to be promoted. Imagine a relegation scrap with these guys. Pathetic

[Vive_La_Villa]

That was horrible. What’s happened?

[NoelVilla]

Lost for words. So bad. Kalinic and McGinn was OK. Taylor should not play anymore.

[Humanoid]

That performance was a piss take

[Paul33]

A team that wanted to win versus a team that assumed they would win ..... guess which one Villa was !

Don't ever want to see Taylor, Bjarnasson or Hourihane in a Villa shirt ever again ..... three of the worst Villa players of the modern era ! 

[AVTuco]

Spiralling downwards. We wouldn't be any worse with Bruce.
