Wycombe Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

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

Who would you be picking ?

I was also thinking who the alternatives are.

I would have given Kozak a go by now. I would have played Hepburn-Murphy to see what he has. I might have given Kinsella a look. There isn't much but there are some players who seem to get picked however poorly they are playing. Certainly through the middle where the current option isn't an option at all.

Add to that list Sinclair. Despite being our top goalscorer, he hasn't been involved since the beginning of the season.

At this point I would drop Richardson, Bacuna, Westwood & Gestede and just replace them with players from our academy. We have fuck all to lose.

eh?

Gana needs to be dropped too, but who could replace him ?

Anyone from the U21's. We've got nothing to lose by playing kids, absolutely nothing. Some of these chancers aren't even trying. Unless the club is so rotten the kids won't be trying either of course.

On the basis that going into the game I thought we'd 'do a Villa' and concede late on, I'll take this result. But will we ever beat someone we probably should beat again?

[mr underhill]

yes, even though it appears right now than we can't.

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

What was his response?

By the way I'm not about the idiots swearing at Gestede in his face virtually.  I heard the fan say there is no passion on that pitch and accused them of not trying.  Richards was just trying to say they were trying he was very calm and looked as if he had some empathy albeit I couldn't hear what he was saying.

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.

I thought Garde spoke very well afterwards and pointed to the fact that we stopped playing when we scored which was entirely right.  What is worrying thing is that they don't appear to be playing for him.  Finally the boos when he took Gil off were totally unfair.  Gil was on his last legs so it made sense.

Interesting info in the Remi thread regarding his relationship with the squad and his match day habits.

Garde was just a gamble, just like all the players we signed in the summer.

Just at the very time we shouldn't have taken a gamble, we did...

But that's par for the course nowadays. The wrong decision at the wrong time.

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

except he's already proven himself as a championship striker?

Which players and managers aren't gambles? There is nothing that is guaranteed.

How has he proven himself? I could list a ton of striker who have scored a lot of goals in one season and then never got anywhere near it again.
