Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[ez]

To be fair, he pretty much only has appalling players to pick from week in, week out.

Exactly. Like for tonights game we already know it's going to be an appalling starting 11 because that's all there is.

[sickbeggar]

Are they troublemakers though? Some of them have been shite for years but apart from being crap, there's not much evidence of causing trouble. Mebbe the signing of piss poor players has been been mirrored by employing piss poor managers

No there isn't. What's stopping him picking Green and Lyden

Maybe not good enough.

hah, so our players aren't good enough, but we shouldn't play youth players who may not be good enough?!

If they're not better than Guzan and Bacuna then we're in deep shit.

Well a 20 year old has just scored for Arsenal on his first Premier League start. And they've come off a bad run. You have to take a chance sometimes. We've got nothing to lose.

So why doesn't Garde play the kids. Isn't the definition of madness doing the same thing time after time and expecting different results?

[brian green]

We have potentially good future players to lose.

Look at the games we highlighted in Brian Little's career.  When Sid Cowans was eased into the first team he joined players of the stature of Brian Little, Andy Gray, John Gidman and Frank Carrodus.  Who of our senior players is going to guide and help Green or Lyden?
Bacuna? Westwood? Richardson? a captain who runs around like a cocker spaniel, a captain who baits the fans after a six nil home defeat, a captain who is overweight and bone idle, a goalkeeper who, when the mighty Wycombe Wanderers are putting us to the sword plays gum spitting games rather than follow play?

We need our young players for the future not as sacrificial lambs for a slaughter.

[Clampy]

I can kind of understand why he might be reluctant to play them at home, what with the atmosphere being the away it is. I don't see any reason why he couldn't throw a couple in today though. I really liked the look of Davies and Lyden for the U21's on Monday.

Andy Gray would have been 20 when Sid made his debut as a teenager, Little and Gidman would have been 23. Hardly seasoned pros. Give the kids a go, Garde, the fans won't complain, they can't be worse than the first team and we've got nothing to lose.

...Give the kids a go, Garde, the fans won't complain, they can't be worse than the first team and we've got nothing to lose.

I'm not arguing but how many do you introduce into the starting XI?

[Toronto Villa]

It still needs to be a mix of experience and youth especially while we have a mathematical chance of staying up. I'm certainly in favour of not playing Gabby/Richards however and giving others an opportunity.

[adrenachrome]

I might be being thick but that doesn't address the issue of anyone (Garde/A N Other) trying to move on the shite we know exists and who must leave one way or the other. If the troublemakers do not go, it doesn't matter one iota who is in charge. The tail will still be wagging the dog.

I would hazard that an effective purge of the malcontents and sufficient funds will be a prerequisite for him accepting the project. That is what I glean from the statements of all parties concerned. We shall see soon enough.
