The Throstles v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

To be fair paulie, regardless of who the manager was, i think the complete lack of professionalism by about 5/6 senior players cannot not have had an effect.

Of course it has, as i said, I'm just curious as to why Toronto is absolving the manager of blame.

  They all have, but as Yorkie said recently, the players must take most responsibility.

   is it GH/GM fault that LYoung cant defend properly

There has been a distinct lack of professionalism within this club from players and management alike. The following need to leave in the summer for the benefit of the club.

Beye, Warnock, Dunne, Collins, Reo-Coker, Heskey, A.Young, Carew, Friedal, Pires, McCallister and Houllier.

They're not fit to be wearing an Aston Villa badge on their clothing. The signing of Bent by Randy has kept us up, we're lucky her done that. He needs to deal with the management of the club the day after the season ends and not fuck about waiting for solutions to sort themselve.

I can't see what Reo-Coker has done wrong, to be honest. He's no world beater, but he's always stepped up and given a decent account of himself when called upon.

Ashley Young's free kick at the end summed it all up for me, we are gifted a goal and have the lion's share of the ball but do nothing with it, I can't remember us having many clear cut chances.

[Brian Taylor]

back hoping the bottom half doz have a terrible finish to season otherwise we are back in the deep doo doo.. we needed all wins and look at us. One poss win and rwo heavy duty games left.
Disgusted again,,should have done better today and we'd be relaxed about ensuing games. Really disgusted.
Other put it more eloquently...

[The Moose]

So you get shot of half the squad, and who do you trust to get replacements in?

[Matt C]

What a woeful season, thank McGrath it's nearly over.

Habit? Time of the year? (winky)

Putting on Pires for NRC was something i don't think even GH would have done. My mate next to me said 'that's the game gone' and how bloody right he was. There was no need to make a change at all, it was just Gmac trying to be tactical and he fell flat on his face.

[Legion]

Just read a few comments from Baggies fans. They could not believe the decision to replace NRC with Pires. 'It won them the game.'

[The Moose]

Fingers crossed that the day the season ends, this clown of a caretaker is hauled in and sacked!

I'm not doubting that, I think he always gives his best. I just don't think his best is good enough

I genuinely don't recall a sub more baffling than that today.

There was a time when we were chasing a game under O'Neill where MON moved Cuellar to left back, but that's about all I can recall in terms of running it close.

Petrov, maybe I can see the logic. But taking our only legs in the middle of the park infront of our dodgy back four was asking for trouble.

I honestly think it was a planned sub and that it was something that Gerard and McAllister had discussed before the game
