Aston Villa vs Swansea post match thread

Nelly, that is what I just do not get, what decisions has he taken that has been good for the business that is Aston Villa, yes some of his decisions from a moral point of view have been good, i.e. Acorns, but look closer and tell me one good business decision since the day he walked in through the door has added value to AVFC.

He promised to rebuild the worst stand in the premier league. The north stand. Fuckin ugly mess. And yes I know it's on the pitch that matters but it just goes to show how unambitious and stagnant the club has become. The club has become totally stale under Lerner Both on and off the pitch. Which is why we are going to get what we deserve. RELEGATED

If for no other reason than his bad game management, he should be on his way out of the door.

He placed himself in a position prior to the game "We will win", that at the time of the first Swansea goal, his options were totally limited, a point in our position would have been a point gained, not ideal but a step away from losing every bloody game, he could not shore up the midfield or put on another defender as he had backed himself into a corner before a ball was kicked.

As for the game, Gana played well but after 75 minutes was blowing through his arse as he was the only defensive midfielder we had on the pitch, leading to Naughton being allowed to gallop down the wing and we know the result, he was moaning after the game about late goals being conceded, this is because you leave players out there who have no mental concentration left.

Whilst his quality of cross is awful, Hutton has to be appreciated for his willingness to cover the ground to at least get into those positions to start with, if only Gabby and Gestede  would put in as much movement and effort.

Ayew had a decent enough game and you can see that there is a player there waiting to be discovered, Jack needs to step up, totally missing for most of the time he was on the pitch and Lescott just why??

A good tactician and motivator can still get us out of this, but the top management of the club will have to do something that there track record shows is not their forte, get rid of the wrong man and pick the right one and if doing the one first leaves a couple of weeks gap before we get the right one do it, because we have nothing further to lose than just letting Sherwood carry on.

Yup. Summed up very well.

My child who accompanied me to the game is 37 years old. He not only has to put up with what goes on in the game, he has to put up with a foul tempered madman of a father.

Well someone has to teach the grandchildren how to behave at a football match.

I was at VP yesterday - a rare outing for me, courtesy of a friend's spare season ticket (I'm not paying to watch that crap) - and what struck me as Swansea's inevitable second went in was the lack of anger. The fans just took it in the chin and, apart from a chorus of boos at full time, there was hardly a murmur of disquiet. Sherwood didn't get his Bolton moment. They've broken us.

Spot on Jimbo - the only time I felt any emotion yesterday was when I realised we were in the lead - I then began to fret about the inevitable come back by Swansea - I am just glad it only took 5-odd minutes - I now come down the steps of the Holte thinking about what I am having for my tea with the debacle behind me forgotten until the next time. Sad doesn't come close...

Sherwood has gone.

Thanks for the 2 games against the stripey shite at vp and the semi at Wembley never forget them.
