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

[The Man With A Stick]

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.

They're all winnable though.  I wouldn't be surprised if we got 12 points from those games, but then again I wouldn't be shocked if we only got 2.

The big mistake was changing the team, once a goal down we needed to be running at them with more physical presence up front which Gabby gives us. An old mantra in football is dont change a winning team, we came back from a goal down at Chelsea.

Was like most devastated at the MCleish appointment and i don't think he will cut it at Villa but, this is not his squad, this is in the main still MONs squad minus its two best players. MON bought his players to play a certain brand of football and it was 70's football.Houllier was our best bet if you wanted to see Villa play a more Arsenal type of game but he would have had to turn over most of the squad to get there and i believe that's what he would have done. Survival is the name of the game at the moment but you can only hang on by the finger tips for so long.

The lesson here is that shit should only ever roll down hill.

I think with the performances in the last few games he's bought himself some time in my view. If we play like we did today against Bristol Rovers and Everton I will not be amused.

I'm just trying to work out whether we are shit or if we are an good but inconsistent team. Whilst I'm trying to figure that out I'm going to hold off calling for McLeish to be fed to the pigs. We picked up over the last few performances and the question is whether it was today or them that was the blip.

The win at Chelski has bought him an extension in my eyes...these 4 games before Citeh are pretty much make or break for AM.

Love to be the proverbial fly on the wall at Bodymore.

What is the players mindset? Who is the leader? What respect is there for AMc and his henchmen? Why are players like Gabby and even Ireland obviously frustrated and angry on the pitch on match day? Do they discuss/ debate/ argue or even fight over the tactics? Has he lost the plot in the players eyes? What do they think of the Chairman? etc etc What does Marc think when he is asked to strip to go on and then he has to get warm again because the Manager can't decide who to substitute?

We look divided, confused and rudderless. Love to know what is being said inside the camp. Anybody ITK?
