It will only take 2 games to get out of the bottom 3. We are nowhere near gone. As long as we get rid of Sherwood and bring in someone that actually has the slightest clue what they are doing.

I agree.

It is fucking grim but there are so many points to play for, we are nothing like done for.

Unless we leave this clueless fuck in charge, in which case that's it.

I concur. It's a poor league this year and sherwood has made himself look totally inept. Need a new gaffer who can organise the defence. Just need to scrape a win and some of the youngsters could come good. Simply got to ditch the "experienced" defenders though and gabby

I really do not know what it would take to get this team and club turned around, you are looking at something like Graham Taylors impact all those years ago.

Honestly, I don't think we need anything like that much of a change.

We look like a team capable of winning matches but shackled by a manager who is just making it up as he goes along. Take the manager away and we will do much better.

we are going to have to do a shit load better, because we have allready used a lot of easier games up, the confidence is shot, we dont have a natural goal scorer, the goalkeeper is a basket case and the defence is porous.

I totally agree. We've spend the fifth most amount of money in the league this summer, and the squad we have is capable of easily 14th-10th. TS is the problem. Change now, and we might be ok, with a few months of average bedding in period, January window, and then the spring to get some results together. Wait until Xmas and it will be too late for new man to get his feet under the table before the Transfer window.

Agreed. Simply because it cant get any worse.

Cant believe it has come to this given it was only last April when walking out of Wembley after the SF game against Liverpool, it seemed great to be a Villa fan again

I do. I think the new manager already has a mountain to climb and the longer Sherwood's departure is delayed the higher the mountain gets.

Sherwood is taking us down at least as surely as Lambert was last season.

By my reckoning -
Fewest points after 10 league games:
3 - 1919-20 D1 (1 win 1 draw)
4 - 2015-16 Prem (1 win 1 draw)
4 - 1969-70 D2 (1 win 2 draws)
4 - 1948-49 D1 (1 win 2 draws)
5 - 1968-69 D2 (1 win 3 draws)
5 - 1967-68 D2 (2 wins 1 draw)
5 - 1966-67 D1 (2 wins 1 draw)
6 - 1964-65 D1 (2 wins 2 draws)
6 - 1958-59 D1 (2 wins 2 draws)
6 - 1926-27 D1 (2 wins 2 draws)
For the record, the 1986-87 season after 10 games 10 points – 18th in the league, only above Chelsea, Newcastle & the 2 Manchester clubs.

If we don't make a change now, we are done for. A new manager is our best hope.
