If we continue to adopt the approach we have in the last couple of games involving passing and attacking built on a solid foundation then why not. I want him to succeed he's the Villa manager, so I hope he does.

There's a few very grudging acceptances of our manager on here. Who was the last manager who nobody would support until the he had completed a full season? I think there's been a bloody good bust up between them all at Villa Park; a clear the air session. They are now a team more than 11 individuals who don't trust each other. That takes man management, which I believe McLeish is excellent at.
It's naive to expect widespread support for the guy, based on the circumstances of his arrival, his recent record and his association with That Lot.The best he could realistically hope for is that Villa fans would be neutral in their emotions initially, and give him a chance. He's largely got that. Despite some horrific displays at times, I haven't heard the matchday support turn on him en masse. Hopefully that patience has been rewarded and we (or more specifically HE) has turned a corner, and realised that killing games or wanting to keep the score down might be ok for top flight minnows -clubs happy just to be there and enjoy their days out at OT, Anfield et.c- but not Aston Villa.More performances like yesterday can only help his cause too.
Today's result was most welcome but says more about Chelsea than us.
If he can either offload Hutton this month or, if not, then at least leave him on the bench

Which is why against the Arse he and Cuellar looked very comfortable on the right of defence.

On top of his thuggishness (which isn't something to shrug off), he also has a near total lack of positional awareness.
So you think it is possible to make it as a professional footballer in the top division in England with a "near total lack of positional awareness"?
He's a decent enough player, easily the equal of Luke Young.
