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 ?

What he said in response above

What exactly has Garde done wrong? he looks as pained and confused as us. There's clearly more going on behind the scenes and in the dressing room than we know.

Fair play to Richards, at least he spoke to the fans at the end.

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.

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?

Who would you play instead of Westwood and Bacuna?

u21 player and u21 player. They literally cannot do any worse.

Keeps picking the same players we already know are failures. We look every bit as shambolic as at any time during this season.

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.

I think he took Gil off because he was displeased that Carles didn't go for Richards return pass behind their defence. Simple as that.

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.

No I didn't miss the don't care part, however until he has brought in the players that he would rather than the players that the club decided to bring in during the summer it is way to early to judge a manager. With the standard of players the board decided to get in on the cheap I honestly don't think any manager would get that pile of shit winning games regularly.

I keep having a "would Sherwood have actually done anything different" conversation in my head - this is putting to one side the fact that Tim was a pillock...

On that basis we should've just kept Sherwood. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has changed since the manager switch. We have no cohesion, no tactical improvement, no technical improvement.

I realize it has become very difficult to be motivated to fight but tell me Nigel Pearson (who I wouldn't exactly fancy) wouldn't have a boot up some asses and get this squad to at least look like they're putting in a shift.

I think it was actually because Wycombe were on top and we know that Gil doesn't exactly offer much in terms of getting the ball back. He went to a diamond and we had far more of the ball. I'd say the substitutions worked

Whoever thought Gestede was our striking solution should be at the Job Centre on Monday. It's past pathetic. There's absolutely no desire to find space or make a run, which is why we never score. I honestly think we could put a cardboard cut out on the half way line and we wouldn't notice a difference. Hell, a cardboard cut out might even stop the ball on occasions. I'm not blaming Garde. He took over a squad built by others that were already shot having lost 7 on the trot. There was no bounce because there's no quality there. It took Sherwood until the last minute of the WBA game to get going last year but he had Vlaar, Delph, Cleverley and Benteke to call upon who are all a cut above anything we have now and were key to our run last season. The managerial change came too late and didn't even give Garde a chance to have a honeymoon period - I mean the timing thus ensuring Man City and a rampant Everton were among his first few fixtures was ridiculous given the games we had before. We're obviously doomed in every facet and quite frankly I have no idea what happens next. We thought the last few seasons were bad, we though the GT2 and DOL days were bleak, we thought Ellis lacked ambition but this season has taken everything to a whole new level of crapness.

I think Garde should be given the chance to change the squad as he sees fit in the summer, but I am becoming increasingly concerned about him.  He looks lost.

We could have lost if Bacuna and Westwood hadn't played today? Pull the other one.

He's been there for two months already.

i notice how the BBC website report how;
"Villa held by Div 2 Wycombe" (negative)
Whereas:
"Liverpool fight back to deny Exeter" (positive)
