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.

We won but wouldn't it be nice to be playing well and win (against eleven men)

Villa Forever !!!!!

McLeish who ????????

That's the same Wolves that drew at Spurs the week before for godsake (sic).

It really does take a special kind of obsessive to want to find reasons to moan after a good away win in a local derby.

In simplicity, we were on top until Kightly scored. The whole of the Wolves support lifted the team and spurred them on to be the better team for the remainder of the half. A good tactical decision at half time by McLeish followed, which resulted in the game being pretty even with a very well taken goal by one AM's signings* to level the score again (*Which was widely written off on the transfer thread as a waste of time). Perhaps the game swung in our favour a little with the Henry sending off. So what! Keano banged in the winner and the team, with a little less naivety could have increased the scoreline.

Wolves did not 'piss all over us at times' at all.

Why can't you give him any credit when he deserves it?

Yes, but that's a big win for us, a six pointer in many ways. Opened up a decent gap now between us the bottom three. Don't knock it, Daz.

Me too. I don't recall any of the Nose Obsessives complaining when we used to rob the Rags of all three points despite not playing that well.

How many times under MON did we play badly and win?  Especially away?  A fair few.  I remember our top scorer was OG for a few weeks.  Were you complaining then?

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 largely agree with you Maz. However, I'm really hoping that McLeish will be gone by the time we're ready to spend again (if we ever will be), because the thought of him being given free reign to spend about £150m building a team scares the shit out of me.
