The underlying problem...

[passport1]

I think when Okare is ready he will go with three centre backs.

[PaulWinch again]

And yet another defeat. We are an utter embarrassment that's the underlying problem.

[mr underhill]

he could play six centre backs and we'd still loose. Time's up Tim.

[passport1]

Looks like I jumped the gun with my three centre backs prediction. Looks like he is in panic mode now.

The only underlying problem that results in the sort of managerial ineptitude we're experiencing is the board picking the wrong manager. As it was Fox's first managerial decision I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

The sarky bastard in me says, "has Fox been seen with possible candidates in corporate hospitality lately"
The cynical bastard in me says, "he'd made his mind up about Sherwood as Lambert's replacement before Christmas, has he had chance to line anyone else up."
The optimist in me says, "well he persuaded Lerner to ditch his bestest buddy and found someone to keep us up. Maybe he's not completely useless."

Unfortunately that's as far as my optimism runs right now.  The guy in ultimate charge might not be completely useless.

[PaulWinch again]

I am fucking fed of Villa. It is soul destroying to watch our slip to new levels of ineptitude every week.

I am in the pub, hoping the rugby might cheer me up. I have read nothing since the match on this thread,  but I will say they played that penalty appeal on the big screen showing not one but 2 penalty trips. They are not even supposed to do that but they wanted us to react. We should have been howling for that but.....nothing....We are dead inside after the last 5 years. How the he'll do we turn this round?

It's ground us down now.

Terrible at home.
Lack of goals.
Half wit managers.
Chairman a wacko who makes no effort.
CEO giving us the bullshit about narratives.
10 hours without a goal.
Buying lower league players.
Buying old has beens.
Record runs of defeats, lowest points blah blah we all know the records there's just so many now we can't remember them all.
Appointing nobodies.
Terrible away.
Worst record in English football over the last 4 years.
Being taken for idiots with comments like '' we go again'', '' I thought we were magnificent''
Alex Mcleish.

It goes on and on but the bottom line I think is everyone has had enough and people are going to quietly start drifting away. There's no point protesting, no one is listening. Some would say there's no point sacking another manager, we have no one with a brain to appoint anyone decent.

I've said it earlier but we might just have to take a relegation and Lerner fucking off to breath some life in to this club again, we are withering away.

spot on

[Stirchley Villain]

How about keeping it simple? We had 3 attacking ball players up front at any one time in the second half. We had no one to hold the ball up with feeti in the penalty area for them to finish off their attacking play. Gestede should be an impact player and Kozak should be holding that ball up. But... oh no... Tim doesn't like him. He's rotting in the stiffs.  Well fuck you Tim... it's your funeral.

[silhillvilla]

That was the sort of game Benteke would of bailed us out with an equaliser. It's not there this season. We are as good as down .

[richard moore]

The underlying problem? That dumb idiot on the other side of the pond who doesn't give a shit. Look no further, it's always down to leadership in any organisation and he couldn't lead himself to the toilet without getting lost.

[SamTheMouse]

I think when Okare is ready he will go with three centre backs.

Strikes me as a bit of a 1990s tactic, that.

[silhillvilla]

Starting to think the only people who give a shit are us mugs, the fans
