I don't think many sides would get away with 4-4-2 now though, as the 3 tucked in and winger/ strikers seem the order of the day. On paper it is a role that should be perfect for Gabby, but he does seem to spend some games sulking out wide and does not get into the box enough from there. Bent will score more goals if only 1 is playing and always carries a threat.

QPR win Bolton win and Wigan win who would have thought it? And now our beloved Villa are in the s**t a few of us knew it would happen and now the table does not lie. How much longer are we supposed to watch rubbish like this? We all know Randy wont sack AM so gues we will all have to pay for yet another season of doom and gloom, thanks Alex. Torres hadnt scored in the league for 6 months so guess we were sitting ducks wasnt we? I just hope AM can look himself in the mirror and feel proud of what he has single handed done to our famous club.

So McLeish is single handedly responsible for injuries to Hutton, Dunne, Cuellar, Jenas, Petrov, Delph, N'Zobia and Bent leaving us a virtual youth team to play against a team one game away from the Champions League semi finals?

I thought you weren't going to Villa next season. Make your mind up!
What would your team / tactics have been today with the available players?
In short, give it a rest.

When he had the players though, McLeish had us playing utter garbage and we didn't pick up anything like enough points. Its not his fault that we have a massive injury problem, but I firmly believe it is his fault we're scratching around for points at this stage of the season at the wrong end of the table.

It doesn't excuse dazzy g revelling in our losses again.

Too late to change now, and if we did be prepared for another divisive appointment such as Curbishley or McCarthy.

Absolutley diabolical season though in every way and with other teams below us having the predicatable end of season surge while we have injuries, Stan's illness and McNumpty in charge, I really think we are in trouble.

However much we want him gone (and he should go) at seasons end, just getting shot of AML will not sort out the mess we are in.  It's far greater than just replacing a Manager.

I think that's the point, it's not about what he could do today with all the injuries. It's all about what he did when he had the players available, unfortunately now it's too late. So as a consequence he should go.

So IF he went now, would we be happy to take any replacement - is it an anyone but AML policy we have.

Because that's what it would need to be given the late stage of the season, applicants willing and available and the clueless selection policy we'd obviously have. 

You'd be happy with Curbishley for example?

It is too late but he needs sacking after the last game to give us plenty of time to find a proper manager.

You know I would take Curbishley now. He has a good record in the premier league all things considered, and a much better one than McLeish.
