Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

The board is the problem very clearly, not the manager. You sell our best two players, then you sell/loan our first choice right back, one of our few centre midfielders on top of releasing a load of players. You then give the manager a fraction of the money to replace them with, you are going to be fucked. That's what we are and it is the board's fault.

Totally agree.

I agree with the poster who questioned why Fonz was playing out wide, it was ridiculous.

The only plus side to last night was that Zoggy looked a bit more than a threat than he has been when he came on.

All I can say is you lot should have been there when the Bradford (Including beanpole) beat us 5-0 at home. Zenith Data systems or some such rot. Believe me -it can get worse.

Simod Cup Round 1, Wed 11th Nov, 1987; attendance: 4,217. I was there.

I was there too. I knew the attendance was poor but I didn't realise it was that small. When we signed Ormondroyd just over a year later I was quite pleased because I remembered the havoc he caused that night.

I wasn't there that night, but was at Valley Parade for the away league fixture just over 2 weeks later.    That remains one of my all time top 5 away performances that I have seen by Villa.   4-2 with the "Gray brothers" making their debut.  Even Aspinall was outstanding that day I seem to remember.

Happy days !!

the famous "we needed that like a hole in the head" (or words to that effect) by Sir Graham. Bad night, but the 4-2 away win was top notch.
