Stephen Warnock - loaned to Bolton Wanderers (reply #231)

[Legion]

As annoyed as I was at Warnock's calamitous blunder, I do actually feel sorry for the guy. There was no need for the booing aimed at him.

Well done. Boo one of our players. That's really going to help, isn't it? He hardly did it on purpose. Morons.

[Matt C]

It was a ridiculous header (all the more perplexing considering he nearly did exactly the same against Everton) but resorting to booing your own players is mindless.'

[PeterWithesShin]

He's really struggling at the moment and probably needs a spell out the first team. It's obvious he's shot of confidence and fair play to him for not hiding.

Reminds me a bit of when Samuel went through a similar thing.

[pauliewalnuts]

He needs to be dropped. That's been clear for a while, as - with a few exceptions - he's been very poor this season. Certainly, the exceptions go nowhere near enough to outweighing the poor performances.

The problem is, we've got nobody to drop him for. Throwing Stevens in is a big ask.

I agree, booing him during the match doesn't help, but he's been so poor of late that people are just getting frustrated.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I agree, booing is not going to help at all.

They guy has no confidence whatsoever. He's shit and needs to be dropped, but when playing, there's no point in booing him.

[phantom limb]

He needs to toddle off with Heskey and Beye at the end of the season, he's been utter gash for quite a while now.

[myf]

I would normally agree but i just don't like the guy, especially after the rumours about how he showed gh a lack of respect. can't bel he scored that after an almost identical one against everton. not convinced he is overly bothered about the villa or regaining his form

[Matt C]

Hard to believe at 'the moment but I'm convinced there's a very good footballer in there somewhere but he's shot of confidence. He's never been quite the same since being rushed back from injury for the league cup final either.

[London Villan]

Whilst he has been pretty poor this season, scoring an own goal like that and seeing his reaction after it showed that he does have some awareness of what is happening.

The were plenty of people shouting words of encouragement to him from where I was sat in the Trinity, as to whether he heard them at that point I've no idea.

What disappointed me was that none of our players said anything to him after it happened, I'd have hoped at least our captain would have had a word with him. Again show the lack of togetherness in the squad. 

[Barca 2011]

Very poor player at the moment, needs to be taken out of the firing line for
his own good and our sanity.

[Greg N'Ash]

Needs to be dropped. Looks in bits to my mind. Wouldn't stick a yoof player in though because its the whole back line and i don't think its fair to have a kid cope with that. Must be a half decent left-back looking for a club who can do an okay job for 5 months. I'm not sure if he's got a long term career at the villa but now he's been targeted by the boo boys its not gonna help him being exposed to the abuse, especially as they're likely to blame him for any mistake that happens now. And with that lot you know the next one is only a game away.

[London Villan]

I bet Hutton is pleased Warnock did that tonight.

[TheSandman]

Wouldn't boo him (I don't like booing especially when it's one of ours) but I make no secret of the fact that I really cannot stand him. The sooner we get shot of him the better.

He hasn't performed well for us (barring one or two games) for almost two years now and seems to be getting poorer by the game. He desperately needs to get a rest for the sake of his own sanity as every error (even when like tonight I'd argue that it was a bit unlucky) will send his confidence further into subterranean levels.

[Mazrim]

As annoyed as I was at Warnock's calamitous blunder, I do actually feel sorry for the guy. There was no need for the booing aimed at him.

Well done. Boo one of our players. That's really going to help, isn't it? He hardly did it on purpose. Morons.

Agreed. It was shameful.

[Handsworth Wood Villa]

We should have signed Taye Taiwo who was playing at left-back for QPR tonight.
