I would not be so annoyed with his back paging if he really was "telling it how it is" and "saying what the fans are saying" but he is not. If he was doing that he would have the courage to say "Gabby is too fat" or "Richardson can't tackle" or "Grealish does not work hard enough" or "Guzan's judgement is terrible" or "Lescott is not up to it any more". Instead he makes blanket accusations which the media present as Sherwoodisms. Villa are in the cart because they bought useless foreign Money ball players who don't give a shit for the club.This is simply untrue. The worst contributors to our calamity are the old guard. The new, so called Moneyball players have pulled up no trees but their shortcomings have been as nothing compared to Gabby, Westwood, Guzan, Richardson, N'Zogbia, Clark and Bacuna, but the Richards broadsides will reverberate around Sherwoodland as vindication of him and blame on anybody and everybody else at the club. Sherwood will go into folklore as a victim.
He's no captain and an idiot to boot. He may have a winning mentality that some of our other players are badly missing but he plays for himself not the team and from what I've seen of him at CB he can't organise a back line. There's no need for him to air his opinions on his team mates in the media. If he has a problem with some of them then maybe he should try sorting it out privately and build up some rapport and moral with his team mates like a decent captain would.
It sounds a bit like 'working his ticket' to me

Not seen you before Darth, but that is very well put. Clichéd to say but it is a team game and they need some camaraderie.

I only rear my head in times of turmoil, a bit like an web based version of the Arthurian legend.
So what would you do with him?
Quote from: in exile on November 27, 2015, 10:49:18 AMSo what would you do with him?Name a new captain, and drop him to the bench when Okore is fit.As an aside I wish we had given Senderos a squad number, he is a better centre back than both Richards and Lescott.
I may not be happy with His attitude but he's one of the best players we have, I wouldn't be benching him.
