Can't blame Benteke. He needs service.

WBA and Palace getting new managers has worked against us.  Agree with what was said on 606 than us not making a change and getting Pulis while he was free could come back to hunt us.  Still think we stay up, but it will just be by the skin of our teeth once again.  But then if you consider that we may lose certain key players in the summer, and if Lambert is again in charge next season then next season could be the year.

It was the case the clubs Norwich , Cardiff and Fulham sacked their managers and were relegated last season.
Any manager situation is reviewed though but can be certain provisions

Stop moaning and put in a shift would help

If this is the season, I can't see us coming straight back up. No Delph, Vlaar, probably Benteke, some Championship players like Westwood, Wiemann, et al, who still won't be good enough.  I wouldn't back us to even hit the play offs. Saying that, if we stay up, selling Benteke is possibly the only way of bringing any quality in, and his transfer fee is taking a week by week hit thanks to the tactics deployed. We really are that bad.  Unless, of course, a new Manager can get more out of this current group.

Averaging half a goal a game doesn't really bode that well.

Boxing day Day 1986 to the last game in May 1987, 14 goals in 22 games, 16 points from a possible 66. Anything seem familiar?

At our present rate of scoring (or should that be not scoring) we are nailed on to finish bottom never mind being in the bottom three.

Need to change the formation, it's not working! Benteke is moaning but he's probably as frustrated as everyone else. I'd give Robinson some minutes, Gabby and Weimann need to stop playing every game and play with wingers.  Going through the middle isn't working. Maybe cleverly could play in the hole or get him to sit and put Delph in the hole when he's back. At the minute whatever it is were doing (because I have no clue ) isn't working

If we were to go down, outside of Villa fans, few would notice and even less would care.

Now that's plain not true*. Losing a Premier League 'founder member', as it were, would be huge news.

I don't agree. We are pretty much irrelevant as a force in this league.
It would be news for a day or two, but we'd soon be forgotten, like Wolves.

Well nothing in football is wailed about forever. Even with Rangers going to Division 3 people got used to it fairly quickly. You expect commentators to still be wailing about Villa being relegated for years to come or 'we're now irrelevant'?
