Aston Villa vs. West Brom Post-Debacle Thread

[silhillvilla]

I care but certainly not to the levels I used to care, the last 5 years has been draining. Then again I normally step up interest and caring around November onwards .

[Lsvilla]

As an aside to yesterday can anyone who sits in the Trinity confirm Wilkins was in attendance?. I couldn't see him yesterday, but my eyesight isn't the best, and I couldn't place him this morning on the tele.

Yes he was - was briefing Veretout immediately before he came on

We are piss poor at the moment guys. It's time to pull together and pull the club out of the shit. Had a look on the Baggies Web site earlier. They are wetting their pants at the idea of the Scum beating us and completing the "we hate villa more than you" double. Time to fight back against the hatred guys. WE ARE ASTON VILLA. No one likes us but we don't care

Feel so sorry for you guys, as I said last week, I could not stomach anymore, after last weeks performance.
Didn't go, didn't watch, and I feel better for it.
Although I expected us to draw rather than lose. I'm afraid i will stick with my observation that Blues will beat us next week, sounds like they may put a few past us.
They have everything to gain from thrashing us.
I have not watched any footy this week as TS tactical naivity has had me curled in a corner with my straight jacket on.
I'll be staying away for the foreseeable future, once TS is gone, I may return.
I feel I can watch Tuesday from my living room chair and really not give a toss, because obviously Tim don't, I hope for the fans we can scrape it.
Only slim chance of survival this year is Gana and Traore staying fit.

100% utter gash.

You'll go once TS gets the boot?

Sherwood doesn't care?

No worries pal, you can hop back on board when things get better.

Ah so that explains why he was so slow and crablike when he came on.

pull yourself together man . Quick

Next home game v Stoke is starting to look like a must win already. Particularly as its sandwiched between liverpool and Chelsea away .

Blimey you're a trooper.

If we aren't bottom at Christmas then I will still back us to stay up.

Especially as Veretout doesn't speak English and I very much doubt if Wilkins speaks French!

I don't think we would have scored had we played for another few hours  (I know we did have the ball in the net). As for the subs, I thought all three were pretty pointless. Last week we needed a couple of midfielders on when we were 2-0 up. This week he brings a couple on when we were a goal down. Not too sure where the logic is in that.

As for the Sherwood out posts, let's not go down the fickleness route of the team we played yesterday. He's not had a good start but he's brought a hell of a lot in and we need to get behind it.

In other words what you're saying is you're NOT a true Villa fan.

I'm struggling to remember a more anonymous 45minutes from a player than Sinclair in the first half.

Gestede was awful in the second half but I did at least notice his terrible-ness. I can't remember Sinclair being involved at all.

[Virgil Caine]

I was very pissed off yesterday as with most on here but I would like to think today calmer and pragmatic. I sense that our beloved team has gone down the 'Money Ball' route to transition and as the film depicted the real story, Oakland Amateurs Baseball team did take half a season to adjust. I  have seen a general improvement up to yesterday and enough evidence to suggest that statistical analysis alone does not win matches- the capitulations at Palace and Leicester were the result of human error, both on the pitch and in the dugout.
Tuesday night will see the pieces start to click together- the importance of Gana and Traore cannot be underestimated as the latter is the potential match winner that all good sides seem to have.

Ray Wilkins can speak French as he spend time at

Paris St. Germain[edit]
Wilkins left A.C. Milan in 1987 to join French outfit Paris Saint-Germain, with whom he stayed for only four months. But I won't know how good it is or bad
