This is really grim. We look devoid of ideas.

Alex telling everyone to go back to defend the corner and Wigan still get a header in.

We need to make a change in midfield.

We're not stringing two passes together there, and it is mainly because we can't get the fucking ball in the first place.

VILLA: Given, Hutton, Collins, Cuellar, Warnock, Albrighton, Bannan, Gardner, Agbonlahor, Bent, Keane.

Who sits in front of the back four and provides the link up play from deep ?

Well ?

Quite.

I reckon Bannan and Gardner have touched the ball 5 or 6 times between them.

It seems we're really missing Petrov today to do just that role. I say bring Chris Herd on, he always seems more than capable of doing it.

I know 'I'm not renewing my season ticket' is the predictable cry from the dissatisfied, but there's just no way I'm going to make the sacrifices to find 600 quid to stump up in advance of next season if this bloke is still in charge.

I can't believe anyone thinks he's doing a good job. We look like we're actually getting worse.

When is Di Santo going to get booked?  3 fouls in 5 mins and no card.

I'm just so impressed with what Pardew has done. Yeh, they'll take a tonking every so often like last week. But by having an attack first mentality and a good scouting system finding technically sound players they will always have a better than even chance against the majority of the teams in this league. It's a mindset thing and I'm tired of watching hit on the break football as a first tactic. It's exciting when you have the guns to play that way when you need to, but when you don't just get sucked deeper and deeper until you concede.

 
yeah, but he's still a c.unt though

I'll take that cocky bastard any day over this. I want McLeish to succeed yet he seems hell bent on alienating the last of us who are willing to give him that chance.
