Norwich City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

We lost. Nothing new and frankly I'm almost beyond caring.

The team he put out was shite, but I don't know if anyone has noticed but whatever team we seem to put looks shite too.

I think it may be down to having to many shit players, but I'll come back to you all when I've finished my investigations

You can take your deerstalker off, extinguish that pipe and relax, Mr B, I can confirm that your initial feelings are correct.

Garde is responsible for that, cowardice team selection and did not bother to change it.
He knew this was the last chance and put out that line up.
I have no idea how he thought that team could win a game.

Don't agree at all. We played well enough with the starting line up, the stats back that up. Well apart from the one that matters

It's not Garde's fault that we have no quality. He's inherited a Championship squad. Two appalling full backs, a bunch of average centre backs, a midfield that's hit and miss and not a single out and out striker

We were doomed in August

[Walmley_Villa]

Don't blame Garde the players are simply not good enough. I doubt any manager could have done much more. Time to prep for next season, they won't spend anything in January as it would be pointless and nobody decent would join. Ship out any of the crap we can and promote som of the youth. Would like to think Riley and Almstadt will fall on their swords sooner rather than later.

Time to give total abuse to the Grim Reaper aka Randolph Lerner for the next 5 months.

So you honestly think Garde picked Villa's strongest 11 today?

Still wouldn't have been good enough, they have no idea of how to win a game.

Today, we were much the better team.

Right up until they scored, and at that very moment, you could see the deflation happen. We just stopped trying, no desire, no drive, no energy, absolutely nothing.

Scoring against us is ridiculously easy, even for shit teams, we're just so fucking feeble. And when it invariably happens, 9 times out of ten, we just stop trying.

Bang on!

[ROBBO]

Lets all blame the manager, Christ this has been coming for three years and when you see the same players who have tried and failed year after year still in the squad Richardson, Bacuna, Westwood,Gabby etc then selling our leading goal scorer and buying a plank to replace him but never mind all that it's all the managers fault. I've come to the conclusion that who the manager is irrelevant the club stinks from the top down and no manager could have saved us this season. The pride has not been lost it has been allowed to slowly ebb away.

Garde out! Get Moyes or Pearson now! At least they'd have the January window.

Perfect opportunity to get Moyes in and we weren't interested. He'd demand a proper PL budget that's why.

See you keep saying that, but you haven't even tried to produce any evidence for it.

Garde was the cheap option. Lerner is too penny pinching. £9m net spend in the summer says it all. I hope he loses millions with relegation

Relegation doesn't automatically mean Lerner will sell at a huge loss. He'll probably be the owner for years to come.

[CJ]

This situation is wholly down to Lerner. Pretty pointless gesture but the 'Bright Future' half of that scarf is in the post tomorrow.

[Malandro]

Richardson, zero out of ten and "garbage" Fucking hell, bit kind I think.

As for Bacuna - that touch in the first half where he ended up fouling! Fucking hells bells.

Yep and that's it, but that's a core of pathetic players that have done this. Clark, Hutton, Richardson etc absolutely kill us every week.

In the same way that decent teams have a strong spine, we have a spine of utter fucking gash which undermines us at every turn.

The only faint, faint hope we have of turning it around is if we buy a left back, a centre half, a goalscorer and possibily a keeper in the next week or two. I can't see that happening, so we're fucked.

We've been snapping up the cheaper options for nearly 6 years now. Have you not noticed the clues along the way?

That's still not evidence of anything regarding Moyes, though, is it?

It's about opinion isn't it? As I said earlier we've spent the last 6 years picking the cheap options so it doesn't take a genius to work out that we employed a manager who is basically cheap (out of work) and willing to work with Lerner's austerity.
You get what you pay for in life, you pay peanuts and you get monkeys. That's why our squad is packed to the rim with players out of their depth. I'm convinced a manager like Moyes would demand a budget to get us out of this mess, and I'm guessing Lerner wouldn't provide it. Hence we have Remi Garde in charge.

Shame it can't be considered a contract.  You could sue him for breach of contract.

No, it's really really not. You're making a statement of fact based entirely on just what you reckon.

The sooner they introduce a mid-season break the better. We haven't won a game around Christmas since Jesus died.

[PhilVill]

Sadly, League One within three years under current leadership, Shameful.

However, other teams have gone under and come back stronger and I beleive we will but only once the club changes hands, going to be some harder days to come methinks
