Swansea City v The Nearly Dead and Buried Aston Villa (R) Post-Match Thread

[passport1]

No system or tactics apparent designed to break Swansea down.Even in the first 20mins when we had reasonable possession there was no penetration.

I really do wonder what  they do at Bodymore Heath all week.

 Perhaps they play some other sport.

Maybe Hollis's report will discover what goes on.

We're on 16 points now and we'll finish on 16 points.

[mr underhill]

there isn't anybody I'd keep for next season

Frustrating as some decent approach play let down by poor crossing and having no decent forwards

Agree with this.  Carbon copy of so many games this season.  No real pace or threat in the final third and then just waiting for one of a number of candidates to gift wrap the opposition a goal.  This time it was two of the prime candidates - Hutton lost his man and Guzan didn't get to a ball that should have been his.  Game over.

We want him out
Randy Lerner out
We just don't think you understand
From European nights
To going down without a fight
We want Randy Lerner out

Always think of Billy Ray Cyrus "Achy Breaky Heart" when I hear that third line.

Probably because it's sung to that tune.

It's almost like sonebody's taken that very song and deliberately changed the words! I have my suspicions about that "shitting on the City" one
 as well....

Now you've made me doubt that we made of the "Holte Enders in the Sky" tune.

Remi needs to go now. Sorry but just not up to it.

8/10 for effort. 3/10 for ability. Hurry up next season please.

Effort should be the minimum for any player.  Bottom line is we are frightening lack of quality.

[andyh]

We have now LOST 6 on the bounce.
There was a time when a run like this would have caused headlines in the national press and questions in parliament.
Now, for Aston Villa it doesn't even raise an eyebrow and is probably considered as decent run for us.
Runs like this, and worse are far too frequent and far too easily accepted.

it's absolutely fucking criminal.

Garde, and pretty much every fucker who has 'turned out' for us this season can fuck right off!!

[darren woolley]

Another defeat and one step closer to the drop.

[Summers]

Garde out. Tonight, please.

Westwood is a joke. There were so many times the ball come to him and the obvious thing to do is knock it first time square or diagonal. What does he do? he takes a touch gets closed down and out muscled. Surely there is a midfielder from the u21's who can knock a first time pass?

To be fair we could of had at least 2 pens for handball, Ashley Williams could of got a red and so should Leon Britton.

Gestede is also a joke. he could of made more of that Williams tussle and won a pen. No ability and no will to win.

[in exile]

I would like to have seen Gardner given some games.

I take it you didn't see him today then?

[mattjpa]

Not the only one, but Rudy Gestede is a truly embarrassing excuse for a footballer.

Less "Bambi on ice" , more "Bambi after 14 pints".

Honestly, what game were u watching? He won everything and worked tirelessly. Got a couple of efforts on target. Maybe you just want someone to take the anger out on, I don't know but I thought he was a solid 7.5/10 today

[PeterWithesShin]

It could all be done and dusted in 2 games and we will officially be Aston Villa (R).
