I do think that criticising the number 2 or 3 defies logic, GH is in charge of the  team and backroom staff.

So do I.

But criticising number 1 and number 2 but definitely not number 3 because you're sure he "has no input on training" is slightly hypocritical.
I find the whole lets blame mcalister lets blame Sid shameful, the manager picks instructs the backroom staff

I don;t necessarily disagree with you, but my point was that in that case you either also blame GM *and* GC or neither of them, unless you have a direct input to who does what and where the problem lies, which WikiVilla seemed to think he had earlier today, but now doesn't seem so sure.

It's dead easy to point at someone and say "it's his fault" when it's some surly bloke who never played for us and had a shit time at Coventry, he's an easy target.

It's not quite so easy and convenient when the person is a Villa legend, but the fact they are doesn't absolve them of any blame necessarily.
i think we agree mate, i think we are all pretty scared right now and looking for answers

Wolves have won away at Liverpool and Wigan drew with arsenal so we are 1 point off the drop zone- worrying days ahead!

This time last season we had a Carling Cup Semi Final to look forward to. Now we're watching to see how the bottom 3 are doing. Oh dear.

Jol went in Oct/Nov?

December 6th.

Don't you love it when people make statements without bothering to google and find the facts disprove what they want to believe.

Dont worry, we can't go down because we're better than West Brom, Wirmingham and Wulham.
