At least Hutton has offered something going forward.  I don't thunk he's anywhere near as bad a Warnock is right now.

Relegation anyone? :(

Don't be silly, while we look like a team in relegation form, there's plenty of teams worse than us.
Really ? I`ll look you up in May shall I?

We have this discussion every year when we go through our slump, admittedly we've been a lot worse than recent years during our annual moan, but there's a reason we have a reputation for being fickle and perhaps the most pessimistic fans in the country, and it's because we always write ourselves off midway through the season.

Like I say, there's worse teams than us in the division, and I highly doubt we finish in the bottom 6. Not to say I'm not extremely worried about our  team at the moment mind, I just don't think we have any chance of going down. 

Problem is the slump in form at home this season has been from August onwards. It is a poor league this year and whilst there may be "weaker" teams than us I can easily see at least one team being dragged into a relegation tussle - right now I would put Villa in that category - This " we are too good to go down" is false optimism. The second half will tell us whether we have the fight and spirit to help us climb the table. A defeat here followed by one on Sunday will set the alarm bells ringing as would defeat at home to Mancheter City. I hope I am wrong but I hate to say it but I`ve seen these signs in the past.

If there's one player we could have done with against these it would be gabby. They look  pretty poor to me and I'm expecting us to win this game. Bannan on for petrov if we don't score in the first 10 mins please.

Completely agree, the only thing they have going in there favour is the fact that Hughes organizes a team pretty well, difficult to keep that up for 90mins though when your under pressure.

McLiesh approaches this right and I can't see a problem.

The problem is eck's half time chats seem to have the opposite effect.

Well, that's a really good goal from us which shows that we CAN be decent going forward,  it the defensive work really is shoddy, to say the least.

Also, this bloke might have sorted out a decent wedding here.

Enda Stephens is getting a masterclass in how not to be a Premier League left back.
Warnock needs hauling off.

Awful, again. But there is hope. C'mon Bent, let's see numbers 101 and 102 before full time...

Wouldn't say we where awful, we lack a flow and pace up front, a lot of passing has been awful, defence poor.

But QPR certainly we should exploit there left, he looks worse (LB) than Warnock.

I make that 13 of our 27 games this season where we've conceded at least 2 goals. What the fuck do they do at Bodymoor Heath?

Is AMc worse than DoL ?

Possibly a worse manager but nowhere near as big a c***.

I'd been pondering the answer, but that nails it.

Keeper already made a decent save from Petrov apparently. Come on Villa!
