HappyCatMe Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I wonder if any villa players ever read these forums and think to themselves, "well, if the fans don't believe in us, why should we?" All this negativity can become a self-fulfilling prophesy... This is the same team that whooped numerous asses last season, reached a cup final and came within a hair's breadth of top-4, barring the loss of Milner. Why are people suddenly assuming we're going to get beaten by Everton at home? Football is full of freakish results like Newcastle, which are nothing to do with backroom issues, but luck, mistakes, etc- who would have predicted Spurs' result yeterday?- and we just have to accept that these things happen. There is not a crisis at Villa. Yes, we need a permanent manager soon, and we'll get him- the right man!- but games like today are where the players show us all what they're really capable of. Stop with the whingey downer nonsense and believe!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reykjavik Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 If we play 10-0-0, Everton cannot score. Villa - Everton 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop with the whingey downer nonsense and believe!!!! Yes but we did that with a decent manager in charge, who may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but he made us a decent side. We don't have that now. We will soon I hope, but at this precise moment we don't have a good enough man in charge to guarantee we'll play well. We might win today, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Yup Steve. We're playing like a team without a manager surprise surprise. Just need that man in to put his stamp on us and get us together and organised again. Hopefully this will be the last game we're we look unorganised and a bit of a mess. Might pull something out of the bag though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Wonder if Petrov might be dropped following his comments? Anyway, predicting a 6-2 win with Olney knocking in a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think we should revert to what works, ie last years team. Friedel, Cuellar, Dunne, Collins, Warnock Young, Petrov, Ireland, Downing Carew, Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'm oddly worried a win could give Kev Mac the job and result in a worse season for us than say a draw or defeat that would get us a real manager. I've nothing against Kev, but he;s not up to the task in my opinion. Personally I'm a bit worried Lerner is going to **** up the managerial appointment. I hope it's just a bad feeling and I'm totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly get the impression KMac does not want the job and is happy to return to coaching.... regardless of the result today, he can't become our full time manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 theboyangel, I think you are right but he cannot come out and say that as the club is having enough trouble already and that would add to lack of enthusiasm from players etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 theboyangel, I think you are right but he cannot come out and say that as the club is having enough trouble already and that would add to lack of enthusiasm from players etc Agree with you there - fair play to KMac though, he's handled himself (barring the tactics!) well during his brief tenure.... I also think the board do want the 'best' man for the job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted August 29, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'm up for this one - I have beers at the ready and I have a cool £50 coming my way when we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I agree he has done the best he can with a lack of back-up staff around him and with nobody who has experience of managing at this level. And I agree, I do think the board want the right man and they are in their right to take time to do this rather an appoint anybody to cover up the mess and be a quick fix, we need to be long term thinkers here.
