The Throstles v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[sfx412]

We've got away with it this year it seems, next year we may not get the breaks

the breaks??
Like the manager walking out on a poorly prepered unfit squad as the season started.
The length of time it took to get a new man in the dugout, for him to get the players fit, to stop the insider dissent.
Or perhaps you consider seventy percent of the season with a full injury list and untried kids as your mainstay a break.
Get a life.

You also missed the bit about having a Manager that undermines players, plays them consitantly out of position, ignores supporters so he can have a love in with his former, former employers, throws FA Cup ties and generally brings in a level of incompetence not seen since the halcyon days of Billy McDonught.

And the bit about the manager turning players who previously had the confidence that they could beat any team in the league into a bunch of blokes who look like they've never met before and expect to lose from the first minute.

Bottom line is I'm gutted we lost today to a SHIT albion side

Just like we lost to a SHIT SHA side

& a SHIT WOLVES Side

Points to one thing, a very crap season and the fact that under the current regime WE ARE SHIT

[olaftab]

Hate to agree with you WikiVilla but I do.

Think you sum it perfect! Mr Oz

[ROBBO]

Ashley Youngs free kick at the end summed up our season, I predicted it was going high over the bar as so many of his frees have this season and so it did. He is a major part of our problem, he is not the player of two years ago but still demands the ball every time.
I do not understand why Delph isn't playing, we are playing the same midfield that were useless last season, not a constructive pass between them and it just shows how far we've dropped when NRC is looked upon as the better option. Most of our problems stem from midfield and until we replace NRC and Petrov with quality it won't change.

[WikiVilla]

part of that problem is Ash has left the club a "nuggett" of hope of keeping him so they are fearful of upsetting him
Still taking free kicks on the edge of your own 18 yard box is taking the piss

I've just heard Gmac say on TV ' We need to win against Wigan and get our first double of the season'

But this is nothing new. We've known that we've been shit all season. We all know which of those players have been consistently shit. And they are the senior pro's. The very ones that you insisted pre-match that we stick with no matter what.

You're all over the road like a mad woman's dinner.

This season results wise i've been bang on the money! It's been pretty easy though crap tactics/management/players/attitude/small squad = shit results.

Unfortunately for us it's all very predictable and stale, we can't win a game or get a point without going a goal down first!

[Simba]

Try as I might I cannot establish any reason to put on Pires. NRC was solid. We have 60% odd of posession and them down to ten men. The obvious thing is to quicken and spread the play. Petrov was tiring as normal so get him off and bring on some creativety to release the forward players.

We need new legs and he brings on the Gallic Douglas Bader.


I can only think he wanted some mature stability in midfield and hence GMaC was actually playing for a draw!!

[Toronto Villa]

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.

I'm not at all. I just don't see how he can be blamed for the defeat today. There is no way any of us know how today could have ended up if he was on the sideline. Up until his illness we had gone 4 unbeaten. Not earth shattering I grant you, but unbeaten nonetheless. At 1-0 at HT I didn't read any Houllier out posts. Just because we threw it away in the 2nd half is down to players and staff at the game today. It's as much McAllister's fault for not making the right tactical changes as it is for the players' inability to finish off their chances, and the defences for not keeping them from scoring. We simply didn't know how to break down the opposition when asked to be the dominant team in the game. Is Houllier responsible for some of that because he's been the manager this season? Off course. But then these same players under MON couldn't do it either, so I'm not going to say it's all Houllier's fault.

I'm just not going to get carried away when we lose, neither am I going to dance in the streets when we win right now. I'm willing to give him the opportunity to properly put his stamp on the club, both in terms of coaches and players. This is a manager that has won a lot in his career, so my guess he has to have some idea of what it takes to build a successful club side. Each to their own of their view of that. If it's like this next season, he'll have very few people that will come to his defence.

We've done the double over Wrist Ham.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I went for a walk in Cannock Chase. Infinitely better than watching the game, it seems. Bring on the end of the season.
