I agree John, he did a great job in keeping us up, and you're right he gave the whole club a lift after 3 years of that incompetent turd Lambert.  But that doesn't mean he's going to work out as anything other than a short term caretaker type, I just don't think he's got the skills or ability to be successful long term I'm afraid.  I could be wrong but it's not looking very promising.  I think we could be deep in the brown stuff by the time October has finished, as I can't see us getting more than 3 points from the next 4 games.

I know the concept of 'gut feeling' is not exactly scientific, but when we appointed Keane my gut feeling was that it'd end in tears, relatively quickly.

I got the same gut feeling when we appointed Sherwood.

When we appointed Sherwood, an Albion-supporting mate asked me what I thought. I said I thought there would be a new manager bounce that would keep us up but I had my doubts about him long-term. There wasn't an immediate bounce and he did some good things tactically last season and then oversaw some good signings. The end result is starting to look the same, though the means of getting there hasn't been quite so predictable.

They all end in tears. MON, Houllier, McLeish and Lambert whether you felt that way immediately or at some point during their tenure. Just a matter of when. No doubt Sherwood will too, though it might be sooner than the others if things don't change quickly.

I wonder if the owner realises what a dangerous combination an inexperienced manager and a largely inexperienced team is . I daresay he is realising week by week.

[Ormy Droid]

We get to hear Sherwood, what a couple of times a week, maybe more if there's a midweek game, and for what a couple of minutes each time?

Whereas the players have to listen to this bullshit nonsense/ramblings of a madman/deflecting all blame away from himself/the revision of history/referring to himself in the third person, etc. more or less every day, and for what probably seems like for hours on end!

Now imagine you had a tosser like that in charge at work...wouldn't everyone rip the shit out of him behind his back, while basically having no respect for the poor sod whatsoever? Our players have probably decided Timmeh! is a complete twat with little or no chance of him still being there by the end of the season.

I didn't expect to get much from the game yesterday, we all should've realised that it's going to take time and some experimentation to find the right formation to fit the players we've bought. The club's been in a downward spiral for years now, and there's no overnight solution to that...However, I do expect that we should be able to compete with the likes of Bournemouth, Norwich, Watford et al and at least look like we might have enough to stay up. But the simple fact is we look nailed on for relegation at this rate, and I for one can't see any signs of progress, even the tiniest step on a learning curve, or any coherent tactical plan at all.

Seven games is probably not enough to fairly judge, but he makes such a twat of himself the whole time, it's hard not to come to the conclusion the guy's anything more than a no-hoper.

I think the best thing for (the once great) Aston Villa (Football Club) and for Tim Sherwood is a quick dismissal. He'll get to point to the avoidance of relegation and a cup final, we get to appoint a better manager.

I know this is probably a knee-jerk reaction and proof that O'Leary was right we are all fickle etc

Yes it is and yes he was

[mr underhill]

Tims probably still hoping he gets to reprise that silly salute thing in January once Dr Kananga rocks up.

[silhillvilla]

Lose to stoke and that's it for me . We cannot go on like this

[Toronto Villa]

The frustration with Sherwood is that we keep seeing and hearing the same thing over and over. If we felt he was trying different things, trying to be more humble in his approach, learn from this mistakes I think the level of disappointment would be a lot less. We all knew getting so many players to integrate would take time, but he isn't helping matters at all with his team selection, approach to games and in game decisions. It's maddening to say the least.

[aj2k77]

If we start the Stoke game with Gabby, Lescott and Westwood in the team we might as well just fire him on the spot because he hasn't a fucking clue.

[Clark W Griswold]

Keep him. I like him, it's just that we've had so much shit for 5 years we have absolutely no patience and  it's understandable. A lot of new players have arrived and it can take a while to gel, the only problem is Sherwood is new to management as many of his new players are new to the premier league, so it's worrying in terms of how long it'll take to get it right.

It never ceases to amaze me that people can assume they know what happens in the dressing room or what players actually think. As for your suggestion that we should be competing with the likes of Bournmouth, Norwich and Watford. Well we've only played one of those teams and we beat them. I realise that's nothing to write home about but it's too early to suggest we can't get out of this situation
