Wycombe Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

A massive well done to those fans confronting Richards about a lack of passion at the end.

What was his response?

He will update us all on twitter when he's out of the shower.

No need for misery we are still in the cup.  It's not easy to go to lower league grounds as Liverpool found out last night. We will win the replay.

Liverpool put out a team of full of kids, with the exception of 1 or 2.

We played a 'full strength' team against a 4th division outfit.

There is no comparison.

I think we can sometimes lose perspective against Premiership opposition, but it was exposed quite clearly today.  I thought Bunn did OK and despite the odd misplaced pass, Clark and Okore looked fairly solid and seem to have somewhat of an understanding.  He scored today, but Richards seemed intent on playing his own game and spent most of the game in forward positions. 

That brings me on to the midfield.  Westwood, Bacuna and Gana (I'd include Richardson in this) consistently give possession away when there is no real pressure on them.  Some of passes they give away are the sort you would be disappointed to see from Sunday league players.  Added to that, we had Westwood and Bacuna shirking out and losing tackles in midfield.  Gil was lively, though things didn't always come off for him, and Sinclair and Gestede were anonymous.  I thought Ayew and Veretout at least injected a bit of enthusiasm when they came on.

On that showing, we would eaten alive in the Championship.  I would liken us to an old stately home that, apart from a couple of rooms, has fallen badly into disrepair and needs gutting.  The problem that is you need people who know what they are doing on jobs like that or it can become worse very quickly.

Garde out. Don't care.

Awful, awful team. Sour club. Not a single person, top to bottom, is even adequate at their job.

Garde out? Which of the players he has brought into the team should he be sacked for ?

I understand the frustration but ultimately what does that achieve? Is it going to make him work harder or better. Or as is likely it's only going create more Bacuna "fuck all this" pictures. They simply don't have the emotional investment we do

We clearly should be able to win this game easily but that was a ridiculous penalty decision.

[CT Villan]

Awful, awful display...and I have to say the selections, and especially taking Gil off, has for the first time made me question Garde's ability. We were powder-puff weak in our challenges, passes and first touches were terrible and there was almost no movement when in possession...shocking.

Positives - we didn't get beat, Bunn did okay, the defence didn't fuck up for once and Richards scored and probably should have won us a penalty - had we got that and gone 2 up I am sure we would have gone on to win

Negatives - just about everything else really but special mention to Rudy Gestede - he is not and never will be a footballer, never mind a Championship footballer

No, in cloud cuckoo land Sinclair and Gestede will tear up the Championship and we will piss it with about 100pts.

Nothing seems able to motivate most of these players so it doesn't matter if we shout and swear at them does it? Makes me laugh when people say it will affect their performances - have they seen the results from the last 5 seasons?

Think you missed the don't care part.

He isn't the man to revive the squad. Don't want him coaching at the Championship level. It was a poor appointment in my opinion. Doesn't seem to have motivation skills, we still look tactically clueless, the substitutions have been consistently poor and he's yet to muster a win.

This ain't the club for him.

You say that as if Villa was an attractive proposition for a manager. Who on earth do you think we can get that would be better?

Better than the guy with 0 wins who keeps picking Westwood, Richardson, Bacuna and Gestede?

[lovejoy]

I think Garde came in at a point when relegation was at least likely so presumably we recruited him on the basis that he could achieve something in the Championship. He has been handed a basket case and no transfer window yet so lets give him some space. This season is a write off anyway.

Who would you play instead of Westwood and Bacuna?
