Luton Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[aj2k77]

Appalling.

The real purge needs to begin and as soon as possible. We simply cannot continue with Gestede, Richards, Hutton, Baker, Westwood, Bunn, Okore, Bacuna and expect anything other than defeats, the unwinables are trash, broken players with broken mentalities and attitudes.

We need to move another 6 or 7 on and bring in roughly the same. I can't believe we've just finished a game with an almost identical side to the one we had last season that was the worst in our history and a stain on the name of Aston Villa.

Evaluation period over Xia and Di Matteo, they're shit, stop wasting time and continuing the losing habbit, we desperately need a clutch of players and to get rid of the rabble.

Luton were dominant, completely outplayed us.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

We need to dump off all players associated with us prior to RDM joining and have a whole new squad. It's the only way to get rid of this losing mentality.

And this is exactly why I was saying we needed to win in the pre-match thread, it's now PL15 W0 D1 L14 in our last 15 and any confidence of a new season/owner/manager has gone before our first home game and we go into the Rotherham game bang under pressure.

[walsall villain]

Holloway might well be right. We don't even know how to draw never mind win. Up until we made a series of mistakes for the equaliser I thought we would win 3 or 4 nil. One set back against the run of play and its total capitulation and chaos. It's hard to see how we will ever win another game isn't it?

[Richard E]

Well folks, we've hit a new low

I'm sure it will be surpassed before long.

[pauliewalnuts]

It would have been slightly more palatable had there been even the slightest indication we made a game of it, but we just spent most of that match pinned inside our own half by a league two team.

We didn't even make Luton work for it.

Just beyond description.

[manic-road]

The same defenders in the second half were majorly responsible for our shit 15/16 season. We need a massive overhaul, can't see many teams lining up to buy Richards, Hutton, Okore, Gardner, Gestede. That was a disgraceful collapse tonight and the lack of quality all over the pitch was abundant.

Dr X get the fucking cheque book out and get us some quality.

[Matt Collins]

For 20 minutes in that second half it was so bad I genuinely couldn't believe it. All the comments about the quality of players are legit. But they don't explain how bad that was. There are some serious issues of mental fragility in our club.

Gardner was horrible again. Horrible. We've got to get one or maybe two central midfielders in. I thought Tshibola was quite good but didn't protect the defence at all

The back four was awful. Though they got so little protection from midfield it was just runners coming at them all game

My main worry with RDM was that the shape didn't look at all right and that he didn't seem to inspire them onwards or change anything

[Rudy65]

Well folks, we've hit a new low

It could go lower

[ez]

Can't we just gag and bind Okore, Hutton, Richards, Gestede, all these shit wankers and throw the c***s in the canal?

If we can't sell these players surely we have to bomb squad them. They really are cancers on the club.

[Karlos96]

I thought we'd hit bottom last season but obviously not.  We're are an absolute mess nothing has changed.  So tired of watching the same rubbish every bloody game.

Gardner, Richards, Hutton, Okore, Gestede should never play again for us utter rubbish the lot of them.

[Clampy]

From the second Gardner gave it away we were second best in every department. Wasn't even an unlucky defeat to plucky lower league opposition, the better side won.

The way we collapse is the single biggest thing that needs to change.

You've just said what i've text a mate. The way we fall apart after conceding a goal needs to stop if we're going to go anywhere. When that's sorted and we finally stop playing Hutton and Richards in the same defence,  we'll start getting somewhere.

[CJ]

A new low. And I don't think we've reached the bottom yet. We've still got the core of a woeful squad, and adding a couple of decent players isn't going to turn things round in a hurry. Like RDM said - the whole thing needs ripping down and re-built from the foundations up. I just hope we don't go down another division while we're in the process.

[oldtimernow]

You know what folks, we need a Trumpian second amendment option

[Axl Rose]

Can't we just gag and bind Okore, Hutton, Richards, Gestede, all these shit wankers and throw the c***s in the canal?

I'm willing to sort that out!

It's a strange feeling. My only words for the team are negative ones, angry ones. But my actual feeling is one of 'shrugged shoulders'. Lethargy, familiarity, brokenness.
