Blackburn Rovers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[caster troy]

At What point do we as Supporters need to take action?

End of the season - We should have a 'Won't renew till he's gone' campaign. Let's see if they still stick with him if we've only sold 200 season tickets come July.

[Smoke]

We need a way to Support the team but show the board this manager will no longer be tolerated.

[Witton Warrior]

Predictable to the extent I believe I could have won a huge amount of money betting on draws,
Too bored to get angry any more to be honest.

Just received Fulham tickest - why do we bother? It's not like they will win or anything mad like that.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

The action by supporters will be taken in the Summer with chronic season ticket sales.

I'm really not sure it will make a difference though, even if we got relegated.

RANDY LERNER DOES NOT CARE.

Hard to argue with that.

He's handling the club with all the dexterity of a thalidomide playing Ker-Plunk.

[avfcpg]

Fortunately for us I think 37 points will be safe this season...3 of the bottom 5 would need to get 15 points from 11 games to reach that target.
Then he can fcuk off and leave us alone for good.

So a total of 7 points from Fulham, Bolton, Stoke, Sunderland at home and Stripey Filth and Norwich away should do it. Forget the Man Yoo's and Arsenals..he'll concede those games.
Depressing...

What about those of us who aren't ST holders?
Maybe ring up the ticket office and tell them you will not be buying a ticket?

I am totaly baffled and for once not putting all the blame on the manager, we should have had the game won at half time but for some poor decision making by Zog Gabby Albrighton Ireland. They stopped running in the second half, and gave any posession away. It looked like a fitness problem too me.

It probably is down to fitness. None of these have had much game time of late.

I've worked out what happens at Half Time in games.  If we are winning 1-0, the team walk into the dressing room to the sight of the manager being physically sick.  Sid and Kevin then tell the lads to ease up as it isn't fair to inflict this on the boss.

[KevinGage]

Aye ozzjim.

Tottingham, Man Citeh and co have a different agenda to us, so that's how defeat was explained away there.

Why aren't we taking maximum points against the sides below us then?  Afterall, it's league positions/ place in the foodchain that ultimately (according to Alex) dictates the sides you can and can't beat.

It's comical that we'd be content with 37 points. It's been 27 games and we have 30 points.

We are pathetic.

Yep I'm ashamed to say I will not be renewing my Season Ticket but I just cannot except McLeish's negative boring football

Indeed...just win the next two and we can let the apathy set in full time until the end of the season....I really don't recognise our club anymore. It needs a massive rebuilding job and quickly...

[Tom_Mc9?]

What was the reaction of the fans at the end? I did the manly thing and turned my computer off in a strop.

[Billy Walker]

Sat in hotel indigo sipping champers and looking forward to a good feed. good point from where Im sat! 9 points off the drop with 11 games to go. think well win the next two and finish well.

Pleased to see heskey didn't start

I'm not sure we'll win the next two - I hope we do - but I feel surprisingly positive after that.  I'm thinking this whole experience will be doing the young lads the power of good and, hopefully, they will build on the experiences they are getting.  Herd impressed me today especially.

Yes, the manager should have acted earlier to negate Blackburn's half-time substitutions, but, leaving that aside, a Villa team consisting of so many Academy lads coming through a scrap like that gives me some hope for the future.

[Colhint]

just wonder what goes on in training, anything. Or is it just have a few five a sides. Then I'll see who's fit
