Trouble is that some hide behind dazzyg's extremism. They let him be the stooge but do nothing but slag the manager themselves.

Good Point "dave clark five" you are either for him or against him I do not hide my feelings and never will.

Don't we know it!

And just because you see it in such absolutes does not mean everyone else does.

What a lucky man McLeish is, until Karl Henry was sent off we were struggling to contain Wolves (says alot for us doesn't it) someone up there must like McLeish otherwise we could have really slated him for losing to Wolves. We took the lead then we seem to go to pieces. I just hope fans don't start deserting the campaign now that we have won one game. Can we really get excited about beating a poor team like Wolves?

Load of bollocks as usual. We were on top before Henry got sent off but typical of you that even when Villa win you can't be happy.

What campaign?

The campaign that nobody turns up to.

Yes, how disappointing.

By the time I arrived at the game (2.30 ish) no one was there !!! Seems that some fans just dont really care about the club !!! Shame that we are now being linked with Scott Dann ......... can the season much get worse? Roll on May when it is all over and Randy has sacked McLeish. Bring in Rodgers or Lambert

Some of us work at weekends before the match!

So.......you turned up for a protest 15 minutes before it was due to start.......couldn't be bothered to wait around.......and the rest of us don't care.....yes the season could get much worse......we could get a few more supporters like you.

You got there before the protest was due to start, didn't hang around, and your excuse is that you'd been at work BEFORE? How does that work?

We haven't just won 'one game'. We have successfully introduced some decent players from the Academy / Reserves into the first team. These things don't just click into place overnight. Remember the saying 'you will never win anything with kids'?

You are hell bent on slagging the manager regardless of what happens.

I have read and re-read your post. There is little doubt that you wanted us to lose. What an ambition.

They used to hang traitors.

I admire your spirit Dazzy but at this stage I think it could be better directed.
He's not the best manager around but he's had to work under difficult circumstances and deserves a chance to see what he can do. A real chance.

I'm loathe to use the cliche but we are in a transitional period. It's not ideal.
But if we bring the kids through, get rid of O'Neill's overly expensive indulgences and generally get our house in order, things might start to look up again. This isn't anything like McLeish's team yet.

It's not a time to start actively seeking more turmoil and upheaval I think. What we need now is consistency and steadiness. That's not to say it wont have to be looked at again at some point but at the moment we're doing alright, all things considered.
I'm far more concerned with the apparent lack of direction from the board than the current manager.

I just hope fans don't start deserting the campaign.

How can people desert something when they're not involved in it in the first place?

Bren'd

Who said that???????

Some fans have been talking about it for some time. Part of the villafans combined "forum"

Unless you're talking to yourself of course.

But surely if they were talking about it, but didn't turn up to the demo, then they "Don't care about the club!".  Those are the rules, aren't they?

I talk about a lot of things too. Does that mean I'm some sort of campaign organiser as well?

I also wanted us to win on Saturday, which, in dazzyg-world probably means I'm not a real fan.

Listen, there's few of us on here who were happy about his appointment, me included and I'd be lying if the blose connection and relegations didn't bother me.  I was more in shock, however we are not in crisis, we are not in the bottom 3 and in the last month he's played the formations and players most of us have been crying out for. I actually think we've seen marked improvements and when everyone is fit can give any team a game. The youngsters coming through are the envy of many top clubs and hopefully we are the ones to see them to fruition. I'm far from saying Mcleish is the man to take us forward but this 'Anti' campaign is 'Anti-Villa' for me.
