I know it's probably not the sensible option,
but when a player(Richards) has interaction with supporters after an abject display I always think the better of him for at least not just running away and hiding

Me too.

I thought that too. I like micah, but get the feeling the squad don't. He's our best player.

If he's our best player then that sums up why we're bottom of the league. He's rubbish and a headless chicken.

Maybe I'm on my own there in thinking that. I thought he was good today, and started the season brilliantly. I think it's got to him how poor players are around him to be honest. He looks like a headless chicken as he doesn't trust the poor players to do their own jobs properly so charges about trying to put out fires. Let's face it, he's had Hutton, bacuna, Westwood etc around him. Three players who should think themselves extremely lucky Villa employ them.

Yet, when he was out of the side those very same players looked (admittedly, marginally) more composed and competent.

Richards played the game like he was sulking having been told to play right back. Apart from scoring he was very, very ordinary. How the he'll he made the England team I do not know, based on the tripe he's served up for Villa. Fair play for not ducking out of talking to the fans but boy, they deserve the criticism.

I predicted this many months ago to my villa colleagues at work,that it will turn ugly, remember the night when Mcleish got Horrendous abuse, and after six years of patience I am pretty sure based on what we have witnessed on the video  there will be more to come for the present incompetents who are brave enough to turn up for the next home games sitting in there privileged seats. We have seen a video of a nasty verbal protest by one fan, he was taking his anger and frustration out on certain players and manager, to a degree I don't blame the players, most players in the lower leagues would sign for us to better themselves financially, if we had appointed a dedicated Tony barton type, to spot good quality players, i.e. Dennis Mortimer, Des bremmer, Peter withe, Tony morleys, etc, not the westwoods,Tonevs, Gestedes etc etc etc etc etc , then a manager to harness the players to compliment each other, instead of haphazard weak non effecting football that we are witnessing, I could go on, but ultimately the buck stops with the non attending owner, when he finally sells us and he has disappears over the horizon clutching his cheque, and probably never dare showing his face around villa park ever again, even in his very expensive rebuilt holte pub which only those who are presumably in the Masons are allowed in, leaving an almighty mess, the fan in the video will be a reminder of what the club is about, PASSION for the club he loves and all of us on here LOVE. up the VILLA, we will be back.

What games were those, Dave? Not trying to be arsey, just can only think of the Norwich game that he didn't play in, which doesn't prove your point.

Didn't think you were being arsey at all.

Newcastle and West Ham mainly. We still weren't amazing, but there was certainly nothing to compare to that third Sunderland goal on display in either of them.

The West Ham game was probably the most composed 90 minutes in 4 seasons (we still didn't win of course)

Crikey was at the west ham game too, shows how my memory is getting. He was poor in the Sunderland game. I stand by the fire fighting thing though. He is a great athlete, and is one of very few players who can play at this level in our squad. I think he's going through the motions a bit now. I think he's our best player, but he's thrown the towel in

I don't agree that the players don't care and in it just for themselves. Plus, I don't see why we'd criticise the players unless they are Hodge-like in their wankerness. they are just either not good enough or they are playing with a huge lack of confidence that they are inhibited on the pitch. They fear making mistakes and any flicks or tricks rarely come off. Why have a go at them? Of course they care, for themselves as professionals if nothing else.

Easy to forget any positives mate! I was counting off the missed chances to a mate at that game - it could have been 6-2 to us if they could actually get a ball in the net - Gestede had 3 gilt-edged chances (2 with his deadly head) if I remember  - there was also the Westwood "blaze over the bar" which he did again today
