Are We Alex McLeish's Claret & Blue Army Now?

[LeeB]

To anyone who still gripes about his bluenose connection:

How sweet would it be if he was successful? First and foremost it would mean success for us, but as a bonus it will kill the rags to see it as they slide into the abyss.

[KRS]

On todays evidence...no.

One step forward, 3 steps back.

[TonyD]

Never happen

[garyfouroaks]

PS.He is shit again now.

[Archie]

AML has returned to be the AML that he has always been apart for three games (Arsenal Stoke Chelsea), one of the muppets would have coached the team better today. 

[andyh]

Still, not a fucking chance

[Ian.]

Yes!

He can not be blamed for the errors our players made today, he never even bought them to the club. He has been left with them. He must be left scratching his head over some of the school boy errors by our defenders.

We have to give him time, we have had this problem of crap defending for quite a while now, MON had these problems in the last part of his time here, they was starting to creep in. It carried on throughout last season and it will be addressed I hope between now and the summer transfer window.

We shouldn't focus on the defence, we've managed 1 goal in four home games! We barely create any chances. A better manager than McLeish could get better results out of this squad, I'm certain of that.

[Jimmy Smash]

We didn't defend too badly today... But we were undone by 2 schoolboy errors (in defence, admittedly), and the ability of McL to see thebleedin' obvious. No way should Bent have started today. Gabby should have lead the line with NZog and Albrighton on the wings. I think he probably saw Swansea as an opportunity to tinker and get Bent rehabilitated.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Everyone has been too quick to give him a chance after a couple of good games, back to normal today passed off the park by swansea, they have a team of normal average players who want to play for the club and we don't.

[SoccerHQ]

1 shot on target at home says it all to me. And it's not like that's the first home game where we've had a very low ratio like that.

4 straight home defeats, not good enough.

Soon to be 5 when we play Everton. Mcleish must go

[hulkamania]

We will never be Alex Mcleish's C&B Army. Not because of the Blues connection but because of his style of play. Its dreadful! I can't see Randy getting shot of him though and I fear we will sell Bent and get more dross like Hutton brought in by McClueless. Its so very depressing being a Villa fan right now

[KRS]

Our next 4 fixtures before we face the millionaires club at VP:

Everton (H)
Wolves (A)
QPR (H)
Newcastle (A)

On todays performance we're going to struggle to pick up points and will be hovering just above relegation, especially if we dont get anything out of the Wolves and QPR games.

[tim]

It's going to take a lot more than being decent for 1 in 4 games (as the ratio seems to be) for him to get much support from me. I'll support the team, but him specifically - no.
Nothing to do with the Blues connection either, he just isn't very good. It's hard to remain proud of your club when someone like him is producing such mundane football.
