Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[Boz]

I genuinely think the situation is so desperate now, that I'd sack McLeish tonight and put KMac and Sid in charge for the remaining fixtures in the desperate hope we get a bounce from ditching this fucking idiot.

Wish they would, but unlikely until we're relegated

[David_Nab]

Suddenly alot of Journo's on twitter coming round to the thinking we could go down ...shocking how people have not seen how bad we have been for months !!!

[N'Rexy]

Spurs relegated the rags in the last game of the season last year. Looks like they can condem us this year. We are down.

Its a shocking result. For the first time i think we're down.

The most worrying thing is that after conceding the second, at no point did we look like we knew what we were doing, let alone like scoring.

This...he's got to go and quickly...we just need one result, just one and tonight should have been it....nothing to lose now, let sid see it through...can't see us getting another point under AM. Confidence is just non existant...

Get out and stay out you useless fuck. It's an achievement in itself to make us as bad as we are in such a short space of time

[Irish villain]

I could never understand why people like John e and others were so confident we'd stay up. After Wigan bet United I got that sinking feeling.

Lets pray for an unexpected win against Spurs. As of now we're still in this league.We're up against it but the fans have got to rally.

It would help if Randy would sack that useless fucking idiot in charge of the team.

We are not used to creating chances and therefore are not clinical.

We are going down - I doubt we will score again this season. 1 win (injury time) in 13. That is relegation in anyone's book. Anyone's!!!!!

Tonight was just so predictable I can barely raise any anger or frustration.  Our general predicament was also predictable, almost inevitable, as soon as the most insane managerial appointment in the history of football was made last summer.

To all those saying how safe we were a few weeks ago, you really weren't seeing the bigger picture.  This manager is beyond incompetent and he's unlucky to boot.  A fatal combination.  No doubt that c*** Ferguson will still be bigging him up when he takes us down.  Which is now looking extremely likely as we are the only one of the bottom few who don't look anything like getting a win.  And we haven't done for weeks.

All so avoidable. 

Agree completely

We could do no worse. At least the players would want to play for either of them.

Holy shit we haven't won at home since November.

[Fergal]

Shall we have a poll on sacking the manager and letting K Mack and Sid take over?

[TheTimVilla]

Strange substitutions. Swapping a forward for a forward? Then a winger for a winger? Bolton made it clear they were happy to defend for the last 15 mins so why not take off a defender and bring on a forward?

In fairness, Bannan and Albrighton are hardly similar players, and Delfouneso on for Herd basically was a forward for a defender. However, McLeish really doesn't know how to use attacking players with flair and talent. He's alright with brainless system drones from the pool of British and Irish, mediocre, early 30s, "experienced" jobbing pros, but anyone with any gifts? Not a clue.

Fonzy for Herd was with 3 minutes to go, because Herd knackered his groin. I wasn't against Albrighton off, but would have brought Gabby on and kept Heskey on. For me, Bannan & Albrighton are similar, it's just that Bannan crosses like Mark Walters but Albrighton crosses like Tony Daley!

We have, only once though (Fulham)

[The Man With A Stick]

If we stay up, it'll be down to luck rather than ability.  There's a couple of people there who ought to take a fucking good look at themselves.
