The Aston Villa vs Bournemouth life support machine post match moan

[Nirog72]

Anyone else think Randy has a few million on us getting less than 20 points?

[Nunkin1965]

You can imagine the conversation on Friday, we've got this midfield role between Grealish, Traore, Green, Vertout, Gil or Richardson.Who do you think the fans will want to see and offer us the most,  Richardson it is then!

Bizarre. Totally Bizarre.

I know Black was in the press on Thursday saying how he basically couldn't trust Traore.

So he picks Rlichardson.....

[walsall villain]

But why not give Traore a go? We can all see he is a raw talent who might not do all that he should re tracking back but it's not as if a lapse from him would put us down. We are already cooked so perhaps just give a lad who might lift our spirits a go?

[steffo]

Was that Jordan Lyden's full debut?

The poor bastard having to play next and cover the 'pointer' Westwood. He (Westwood) was shocking.

[Nirog72]

How did Lyden do? Have a feeling he'll be playing lots next season.

One tweet I saw compared him to Chris Herd, with all the associations of that comparison. I think he saw they were both Aussies and tried to be clever.

[leylandalbion]

He wasn't great but he wasn't playing alongside iniesta or xavi, so not worthy of boos just yet.  The kick off in the second half summed it up for me.  2 passes and give the ball away. Fucking pathetic.  My youngest declined to go today....wish the other 2 had. Bournemouth were not great and we never gave them a game. I could handle this shite if we were playing great teams every week..but we're not its a really poor league and we are the shite of the shite.

[curiousorange]

Among other things, it was our only opportunity for a league double over a team. Small beans, but still a bit of a pisser.

[LukeJames]

I genuinly don't get it, we can all see that Grealish and Traore are our most exciting and creative players, starting them may not have meant we'd have won the game but it would have given us an outlet that we have missed almost all season, instead he went with fucking Richardson, he's been shit for a decade, held aloft by the Albion fans as some sort of hero, hes shite, hes always been shite, it makes no sense, an absolute wimp of a manager.

Just home. This week I will reserve my bile for Eric Black.  We have had a run of managers who seem to be completely blind to the need to try new approaches to ingrained failure.  MON was as stubborn as a mule, so was McLeish, so was Lambert, so was Sherwood, so was KMac, so was Garde and now we have another in the shape of Eric f*cking Black.
I am reminded of the scene in The Madness of King George where the poor, suffering, dying monarch is in bed surrounded by bewigged quack physicians, smelling his shit, blistering his body with red hot cups, bleeding his veins and covering him with leeches.  Nobody challenges this torture of the king because the physicians claim to know best.
Richardson is useless but a "manager" knows best so he is in the team.  Bacuna is useless but a "manager" knows best so he is in the team.  Traore is a crowd pleaser but a "manager" knows best so he gets only a few minutes when the game is lost.  Ditto Jack Grealish.
The managers hold the fans in utter contempt and the board lets them get away with it.
Gestede was crap today, willowy, weak, slow and diagonal leaping at its worst.

They even won the tie on away goals. Literally nothing has gone right even the shit that doesn't even apply. Laughable in a not remotely funny kind of a way.

[Ian.]

This caretaking business is shit. You can't really sack the caretaker can you?
We would be better off picking a long suffering fan off the stands and giving them a go at it.

I've put this somewhere else, but maybe he's putting the players we don't want in the shop window, so to speak; trying to sell them.

Not playing our best guys is an attempt to keep them.

Not much I know, but some explanation.

[class-of-82]

Eric black
Don't come on the TV again and say we have to win the fans back over
Really exactly how are you going to do that playing that team ?...
What exactly was the question if the answer was richardson

How does that explain not playing Richards though?
