I can picture Black and K Mac sitting around a pub table in a few years time and one of them saying " D'ya remember when we really fucked up the Villa with our team selections when we were caretaker managers?" and the other nodding in agreement and grinning.  Fuck the pair of them off asap.  Treacherous bastards.  Caretaker just about sums them up, caretaker of the local piss corner.

Impossible job. He's just going through the motions. Not to blame for the absolute catastrophe this club has become. Blame the players, board, owners

Or maybe, just maybe, they're watching what happens in training and deciding that there are no better options.

If there are no better options in training then that is a scary thought.

Right. The options are frighteningly poor - untested, lightweight reserve players, academy players who have gone nowhere, or bit-part players who always flatter to deceive when we play them.

The whole club needs a complete clear out, top to bottom.

Perhaps sometimes, it is not just what you do on the training ground though.  If you do not have the bottle for the intensity of matches, all the good work training is of no use.

Occam's Razor morelike.  The principle  that in explaining a thing no more assumptions should be made than are necessary.

Get rid of Black immediately. A disgraceful team selection again today.
