Norwich City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Chris Jameson]

The thing that saddens me the most is that we're going down without a fight. That's EVERYONE, not just the players.

Owner - I know I shouldn't speak of his name, but could you imagine Ellis allowing us to get in this state? There's no way he would have contemplated appointing McLeish, Sherwood or Garde in the first place, or leaving the mumbling fool Lambert in charge for as long as he was.
Players - Enough has been said about these c##ts.
Fans - We've been subjected to misery for so long now, it has become the norm. How have we got to the point where even we've given up the fight? Every weekend, we all just shrug our shoulders and get on with another week of misery. In past times, there would have been absolute carnage at Villa Park, if fans had been subjected to the current state of affairs.

You'd imagine that there should be uproar, protests, and all manner of backlash from us, the fans.....but we're going down with a whimper. And Randy has made us this way.

So exactly what do you suggest we the fans do?

Somebody needs to write one of those open letters to the club or set up an online petition.

This could see us back in the old third before we come up for breath.  The only silver lining is that one day a new owner will take us back. 

[JUAN PABLO]

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.

How can you blame Garde? we have shit players that's the long and short of it, who would you have played? we have players that could not play two games in three days. If you want blame the cretins that bought most of the idiots but don't blame a guy who's trying to make a silk purse etc.

Aorry robbo , he has to take a lot of the blame . Not just the useless players.

[Boz]

No point in booing the team that should be saved for Lerner and co. Players are not good enough and that's not their fault. The blame lies with those who appointed managers and bought these players. Well done you wankers.

Agreed. The players try their hardest but they're just not good enough.

I didn't see evidence of that today for several of the players

Hahaha...he wont answer

That defence isn't even worthy of the name. They're just four blokes who get paid to be moving coathangers.

Can't begin to understand why Richards and Clark were brought back. Richards is a headless turkey and Clark needs about five games to get up to speed and even then he's normally a liability. Lewis Kinsella mush be a shocking left back if he can't step up and perform better than the clowns we have there and Hutton, rather than asked to simply defend has the added weight of all our attacking intent on his shoulders. No surprise he gets lost once a game, every game.

Sherwood failed to buy a defence in the summer, a basic requirement for every team. He thought he could play Richards in there because the player said he wanted to play there. He wanted Lescott, who a great player in the past has no legs left. Both were without any doubt his signings. Fail to sort out your defence and it's no surprise you find yourself at the bottom of the league.

Up shit creek without a paddle.
Playing a team only slightly less shit that you are.
An absolute must win game.

So, after the initial 15 minute flurry, how many efforts on goal did we create?

[avfcpg]

Camelot in Smithereens....can we stop the season and get off please... can't bear this anymore.

If they need any tears to drop onto the paper, they can have some of mine.

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.

But how? Via email? And would it make even the tiniest jot of difference? I'd like to see the back of him as much as anyone else whilst he remains unwilling to commit more to the Club, but I fail to see how me hurling "total abuse" at an empty seat is going to change anything.

Things arnt going to good in the league but I really think this is our year for the cup

I'd suggest he clearly didn't see today's match if he reckons they tried their hardest.

The minute Norwich scored they collectively gave in. Pathetic.

Agree Walmley. The two players who have showed improvement since Garde took over are Vertout and Ayew, who are both very good footballers, unfortunately they have utter rubbish playing with them, coupled with most of them knowing they will be replaced either in January or at the end of the season...and this is what you get. I'd stick with Garde, just seeing the improvement in the above two gives me the impression he might bring in players he knows will fit in to his style of play...at the moment we don't have them.
