Norwich City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[ChicagoLion]

Don't know if I have the stomach to even tune into the Sunderland match. If we thought today's team selection was bad then God forbid on Saturday minus Ayew, Sanchez still, Okore, Westwood.

At least we will have Sissokho back! Oh joy.

i hope I never have to see Clark Bacuna or Richadrson again.

The club have somehow got to try and build bridges with the fans and based on recent experience where they have done their best to alienate fans (Brigade, away allocations) this will be no easy task. We have potentially 5 months of toxic atmospheres at VP....is going to be a big challenge to Fox and co

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.

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?

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

And SH, you said yourself a month or two back, even if he had brought Moyes in and we had continued to struggle, you'd have carried on blaming Lerner anyway.

I'm no fan of Garde but I don't blame him for our demise. He's just a symptom of it.
The Moyes thing was just wishful thinking. No decent manager would touch our club with the laughable budget Lerner supplies, and that's just my opinion before you get your knickers in a twist.

I'm sure I won't.

He's (SH) right though. 

Garde may not be a bad manager - I think he might be good actually.  But he was not the answer to staying up this year and he probably won't be the answer next year.

We are all aware of our defensive deficiencies but what really did us  in today was lack of a proper attacking  option.   Sinclair simply not good  enough, Rudi dire  Taore  a bit  of  a fancy dan and Ayew looking for a kick off with the opponents  rather than concerntrating on his own job.

Garde needs a reality check if he thinks he can  anything with this squad. 

Its  okay for the supporters to go on and on about the European cup, that was now over 30 years ago, the most  we can look to achieve  in the  next  5 years will be promotion back to the premiership.

So depressed.

were you able to get a ticket in the end WW?

Well we may as well give him a chance otherwise we look to the next rung below of old has-beens, never will bes - Warnock, Redknapp, Ferguson (D), Grayson.

Houllier was a regressive appointment, McLeish a beyond all comprehension appointment, Lambert kept on too long and then Sherwood and all of us to a man knew his limitations.

Garde is likely a very good coach.

Not long back from the match, and after that display I don't really want to see any of them again apart from Ayew maybe.
This manager has brought no overall improvement and has overseen abject displays against Everton, Arsenal and another terrible showing today.

The lack of fight was inexcusable. Norwich were not great by any means, but were better organised, marked better and had players prepared and willing to cover and track back. That is a minimum we should expect.

We are clearly the laughing stock of the league. We have plumbed such depths that the next laughing stock will be the next team to lose to us; that could take a good while yet.

Well that started badly, went downhill quickly and the less said about the end the better.

Nice to see you safely back Leeg

We just need to change one minor thing at Villa. 90% of the players.

Ta. I have been travelling since 05:30 and have only just got back to the house. Off to my folks house tomorrow to check things out there. The Villa are the least of my worries at the moment. Well, the second major worry, anyway. Time to chill with some red wine.

I think special mention should also be reserved for the referree. In the words of Franny Lee, I "thought" he was a ******
