3 points off 9th - yeah sure.

That pipe dream didn't last long.

While the season is young you can say anything. We’re only 7 points from the Champions League spots! And 5 from rock bottom.

We controlled it but had no cutting edge. Decision making in the final third is just off. Players seem to have no confidence. Watkins and Couthino look like they hate football. Ramsey too deep and static. As was McGinn.

On the positive side we were the better team,  have reclaimed at least some defence solidity and Buendia is an interesting player sometimes.

There is no improvement since last season. The manager needs to take responsibility but a lot of our players look disinterested, unhappy and very mentally frail. Negative body language all over the pitch.  

I think the Mings/McGinn captaincy swap has seriously damaged this season. Such a stupid error of judgement and completely unnecessary.  

 

Ego trip.

I reckon we will go down..there are not 3 worse teams are there.

No, there aren't. We either make a change or we drift into the bottom 3 (or both; I expect we'll finally sack him once we're actually in the bottom 3).

I think boos were blanked out on the TV. I didn't even hear the Forest fans at the end, just sounded like standard recorded crowd noise.

I was listening to the singing and mid song it just got turned down to barely able to hear it

What’s the betting Purslow release’s Crest design’s tomorrow to try and deflect criticism from Gerrard?

even those that normally look at the positives like max stokes and dan bardell are going in pretty hard on social media. i honestly don't think i've seen the fanbase so united. even in the latter days of bruce

Please someone bring a cabbage on the weekend.

Steve Cooper is really likeable

This is actually the most damning stat of all. They let Deano go after 10 points in 11 matches. If we lose to Chelsea and draw against Fulham, which is the best we can expect, then he's in the exact same position as Deano was, 10 points after 11.

 

And we've had easier games in the first 9 this year imho

[dounavilla]

We must get rid now, will it take a trashing by Chelski to secure it ? 

Watching Villa at the moment is as exciting as watching Speed 2 dubbed in Hebrew.

7th time in 9 games we've had an xG less than 1. 

Having played Bournemouth, Forest, Everton, Southampton, Leeds with 10 men, West Ham at home when they were bottom.

Appalling. 

Looking at those wasted fixtures, I think our season is properly **** tbh. The table doesn't look too bad, but we've really had quite a decent run of fixtures and the season will catch up with us

It’s getting worse

Wait until it's a silhouette of a liver bird or Leavie G's head. Purslow approved.

Meltdown baby.

[Marka Ragnos]

Have completely lost faith in our players, our manager, our owners, and our training staff. But otherwise, I'm feeling really good about Villa. And the lady who sells the pies, she can stay.

Probably cause he's always stoned

The US pundit said late in the game, "Some Villa fans are verging on being disappointed and even angry."   Ya think?   Some?

There is a brilliant team in there, 100% sure.  

I'm still not convinced.  And the key word there is team.

And we have a better squad today apparently. 

[StefanAVFC]

Another thing I've noticed; we're a very, very angry and frustrated team. It wasn't like this.

[ozvillafan]

I think we've finally found our shape.

From what I can tell, we finished with a 4-2-1-1-1-1. Clearly the way forward.

Did we kick off yet? 

Yes it’s 0-0 against Iran in the 85th minute.
