Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[Irish villain]

These are the worst days as a villa fan I have ever known.

Time for bluenose agent eck to pee off and enable villa to survive

[Vanilla]

I would like to criticise the fact that we didn't have a Plan B, but I'm not 100% sure we actually had a Plan A.

Radio WM pointed out two interesting things.

1. Give or take a few injuries, this could be our Premiership team.
2. Some journalists were joking before the match at VP, that Villa are now just a posh Birmingham City.

I don't know which one of these worries me the most.

[UsualSuspect]

Didn't sound great did it?  Will reserve judgement til those that went down tonight give a verdict. 

What's even more depressing than going out this early is that there will now be some kind of "McLeish Out" thing happening all on the basis of one defeat.  It will be stoked up by the tabloid press and radio.

Some moron starting a thread calling for AM to get the boot after one defeat.  One.  People on the match thread calling both the owner and the manager a 'c***' or a bluenose.  Pathetic.

oooooohhh hark at you, I expect yow am a considerably better fan than me.

One defeat?

This has been coming all season, incase you hadn't noticed Sherlock we havent played any team that is going to be in the Top 10 come the end of the season.

Still you just carry on being a little sheep and believeing all the shit the club comes out with.

We are fucked

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.

It is hard to disagree with that.

[Greg N'Ash]

shit shit shit. Anyone who thinks messrs. dunne, collins, warnock, Ireland have grown any balls since last season only have to watch that game again. Get rid ASAP! Embarassing frankly.

[Walmley_Villa]

Middle Eastern billionaires welcome. Sorry but I'm willing to sell my soul. Randy, time to do what is best for Aston Villa.

[Lobsterboy]

I didn't go so can't comment on what exactly went on this evening but it did not sound good.

I have tried to be positive so far this season but I am very, very disappointed with the result this evening

Cue the usual bullshit we read on the OS all last season from Petrov and Co about bouncing back... not interested, words are cheap

Apologise to the 22,000 die hards who went this evening and go out and beat QPR on Sunday

[Villanation]

If we sack McL we will end up with somebody even worse. Remember the fiasco in July?

Struggle to do that mate, this is a bloke that took our cross city rivals down twice, when you get this bad the only way is up.

[aldridgeboy]

Utterly depressing. Didnt go and was proved right not to from reading the match thread. I will probably take stick and maybe deservedly so, but I just cannot see me going this season. From what I have seen we are playing dull and boring football. The investment has clearly stopped and there is no feel good factor to look forward to.

This is going to be a long long winter!!

Moron.

[Jockey Randall]

It sounded like it was shockingly bad but I think we should reserve the over the top slagging of everyone connected with the club until at least after the next two games. No win in either of those two and it is not looking good.

The most worrying thing for me though is that we've only had more possession once in our opening league games and that was against Blackburn. With another 2 of those games at home against Wolves and Newcastle the warning signs are there for sure.

So randy out?

[Yossarian]

It's crap being the spent play thing of a spoilt toddler

[Holtenderinthesky]

He's not the sole problem, but he's one of them. He's not very good.

Something fishy going on.

Well it sounds like we got battered.
