We've got 3 points from 2 away games and one at home against a team we never beat. We've got a virtually new team, and we haven't been far away in the two defeats.I think the jury is out on the jury being out.
http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2552722-tim-sherwood-provokes-tactical-questioning-following-villas-loss-to-palaceIt's really hard to argue with any of this article.
The key questions to mull over are: Why did Sherwood go for broke, sacrificing midfield stability away from home to essentially go 4-2-4, and how did Agbonlahor, who largely wrecked every attacking move he touched, complete 90 minutes?

But he certainly did enough at the end of last season to deserve a chance to prove me wrong.
This board never ceases to amaze me! I was saying these things about Sherwood when we first appointed him, and again more recently and I was getting sneered at for being too negative I'm quite willing to give him a go and judge him at the end of the season. With that said does one badish result suddenly make him a bad appointment. We're only three games into the season and at least are off the mark and have played reasonable in all three games IMO. Let's give it a couple of months and then see where we are

Let's give it a couple of months and then see where we are we have lost five games out of the last six games including the cup final.....I think we have brought in some very good players this summer and have a much better balanced squad But honestly think this manager wont be any better than the last couple, utterly clueless tactically in the last two games, cup final and the Southampton gameWilling to give him time and mistakes like their second today cant be blamed on the managerHowever Im firmly in the doubting timbo category

They no point moaning now, you can debate whether Sherwood is a good choice or not, but he has been given the club's backing so we might as well see what he can do.
