Is Villa Park part of the problem?

[PaulTheVillan]

Forgetting how we threw the game away today, I think wins at Liverpool and Sunderland, draws at Newcastle, Swansea, WBA and Everton are 'on paper' decent results.

Even under McLeish we seemed to play better* away from home.

*still not very good.

I don't really enjoy going to home games and haven't enjoyed them for a while.

[OCD]

Don't know about Villa Park being part of the problem but our home form certainly is.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I think it went downhill when we stopped playing Hi-Ho Silver Lining. Seriously, I thought we had it when we did well under MON then stopped playing it after, and we've done shit.

Bring back Jeff Beck I say.

[martin o`who??]

Absolutely.

[eamonn]

Our football is too agricultural for the smooth surface and wide open expanse of the Villa manor.
That, and our players are shit-scared that the crowd will call them nasty names if they lose the ball.
Our away record will be better this season again. Season ticket holders have been shortchanged since MON's second season.

[Legion]

They need to bring back 'Escape'. On numerous levels.

[Pete3206]

No, the problem is that we're not very good.

[PeterWithesShin]

Since the start of last season our home record in the league is

W6 D11 L14 F29 A43

Whatever the reason, it's not a record that is going to keep a club up year after year.

[PeterWithesShin]

And I dread to think what it's like since the Norwich game last season. I'm too scared to look it up.

[Rimmy Jimmer]

I've thought for some time that it is part of the problem.
The amount of moaning and groaning and f ing and blinding at players is seriously demoralising.

[myf]

defo. this side can't deal with any kind of pressure and its exacerbated playing in front of home fans

[Pete3206]

It ain't good son. 3 wins at Villa Park since bonfire night, 2011.

[darren woolley]

It just isn't good enough we really need to start getting wins on board at home.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Last person to score from open play at villa park was weimann against man ure. THAT is the problem

Another "let's state the bleedin' obvious" thread ?
