Post season thread

Awful season, Wyness, Round, Bruce and the rest of the old boys club will be lucky to survive the summer. Seems to me if we gambled significantly more than we should have on immediate promotion and abysmally failed on and off the pitch.

As others have commented, the club has no identity, the team no style of play just an incoherent mess on and off the pitch.

Enjoy the summer all, up the villa.

[mr underhill]

yes particularly as that equally antediluvian Warnock managed to get Cardiff above us.

[Jimbo]

We didn't go down.

It's been crushingly Aston Villa.

We need to stop appointing managers who can't believe their luck at getting such a big job.

Nine points above the Rags who could have been relegated today says it all. Fortunately are little run of wins got us safe and dry but did nothing to hide we've looked one of the poorest teams in the league despite heavily outspending everybody. I expected ugly but never this ugly.

We look great on paper. We just struggle on grass. Thank god the season is over. Right now next season is about as welcome to a visit to the dentist to have teeth pulled with pliers.

Last season was Aston Villa. This was the drab sequel Aston Villa 2: The Shittening.

Abysmal season.

Very few goals.
Arguably no 90 minute performances.
Loads of late goals conceded.
Silly sendings off and goal inducing errors.
No style or imagination.
Paint by numbers transfers.
Gabby, Richards, Bacuna still at the club.
McCormack being the next ****** off the conveyor belt of ****** we've painstakingly built at Bodymoor heath aka Easy Street.

Plus points.

Chester, Kodjia and Dr Tony bankrolling us.

I've enjoyed the division, the away days and the many good clubs we've played (and their fans) and the quality of football a lot of teams have played against us.

We finished where I expected but I really didn't imagine we'd be so shit to watch. If teams were relegated on the quality of their football then we'd have comfortably been in the bottom three.

An awful season and IMO no better than last season.

[levico]

Dr T rates the season as 59/100.

I think he's including the off pitch improvements.

On pitch I would say 39/100. Must do better.

An awful season and IMO no better than last season.

Exactly how I feel.  The directionless recruitment has been fucking disgraceful and could have long term consequences for the club, I mean £80m odd spent...How is this remotely acceotable

[villabear]

Considering the amount of money spent bottom line how many games have you come away from thinking we had played some decent stuff? Rotherham at home and second half against Brighton away for me.

13th in the championship just isn't good enough regardless of circumstances in my opinion.

[wittonwarrior]

If your rating the season then it would be between 11 & 18 % totally unsatisfactory Bruce has not improved us need to clean the club and bring in someone with fresh ideas

[Dave]

A mediocre midtable finish, which is both an overdue pleasure and a complete disgrace considering the resources and talent available.

Here's to ambivalence

[garyshawsknee]

Pretty grim season, not as embarrassing as last season, but grim all the same. I haven't seen much of an improvement since Bruce came in, play far too deep and negative, even on the winning run we never dominated games, which considering how much we spent is nowhere near good enough. If things don't improve, I can see the doc looking for a next manager come October.

I use to hate the summer arriving as a kid and younger man regarding The Villa, now it's a welcome relief. UTV
