According to Iain Dowie, Mcleish's criticism has been unfairly harsh. Yeah right.

I think the facial features that fate dealt Dowie are unfairly harsh, but hey thats life.

We have won one match in twelve, I don't think any criticism is harsh.

Alex McLeish is not the future of Aston Villa. My God. Those young players need encouragement and to be set up to understand that Stoke are footballing minnows that we should be attacking. Instead we treated them like they were Barcelona and sat back.

That level of negativity could destroy those players.

I'm still sure that he is going nowhere and that no amount of heartfelt posts on the internet is going to change that. We're wasting energy and bandwidth.

Yeah but remember we only dislike him because if where he came from. It's got feck all to do with the shite, negative football we endure on a weekly basis.

Dowie should be on the undateables on channel 4.

IV, the thing is we have 1 or 2 younger players coming through that have real potential to play at the very highest, these players even if we don't keep them will generate real income for the club, example I think Barry Bannan with the right manager behind him and being influenced and groomed by quality players could develop into a top player, a type of Scholes, Wiemann looks like he's up for it although he needs a few games yet before we can tell, same with Gardner, point is under our present manager these players and there careers are going nowhere.

I think Gabby Agbonlahor just 2 seasons ago looked set for the top he came under the influence of 1 manager who wasn't fit for the job and didn't get Gabby and this manager who is utterly clueless, as a result we are now seeing Gabby looking more and more ordinary every game, to me he's losing that magic he once had that put the fear of god into most defenders, all these younger players will go the same way under McLeish because they won't see how football should be played, not at Villa.

You know all these promising academy kids, you know, the ones that are holding us together at the moment? They've played some superb football, moving through the U18 team, into the reserves and will now get uncoached by this clown in charge now.

What is really depressing is that a non villa supporter would say that this was a reasonable result. Stoke are a better team than us but we were at home so a draw is about the expected result. And what is depressing is that, as the table doesn't lie, stoke are a better team than us, as are Norwich, Swansea, West Brom, etc
