Luton Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

He also needs to change formation and shore things up. Playing Ross, Ayew, Green, Grealish worked for 20 mins, but when it went tits up after the goal, Gardner and Tish, plus the whole of the back four were pulled all over the place and run ragged.

We're bust and we'll never win again. Sell the tables and chairs and move on.

[levico]

Don't want to overreact and take this defeat out of context but clearly we have a serious serious problem here.

I think it's beyond RDM to sort. We probably need a psychiatrist.

We should have expected this when the Boro game showed us that we are still a bunch of quitters.  Score against us and we surrender.

Its difficult to believe how bad we can be. I'm just sick and tired of watching these f.....s go through the motions. Not one player was prepared to stand up and be counted
in that second half, against a team that we had completely dominated for 25mins. God knows if Rotherham go a goal upon Saturday.

What do you mean if?

[mrfuse]

well that was shambolic. I turned over and watched Team GB take gold in the the men's synchronised 3m springboard at Rio. One of the lads was given a 5% chance of survival after rupturing his spleen in 2009. Okay total different sport but the training,dedication and courage to get back and win gold is unbelievable. It looked like we possessed none of that, not even close.

Horrific.

[Taylor]

I commentator said that we have good players, and the reaction on the match thread was one of derision. I think he's right. Villa went from domination to complete collapse in the space of minutes. I was on the verge of posting how great it was too see us play in a system that was working. Then Luton scored, and suddenly every player looked petrified. This is a purely mental issue.

I don't know if RDM can turn this round but I think this dreadful situation could be solved with some belief.

Mind you taking off baker and putting on Richards at centre back was almost as bad as Sherwood's subs against Leicester last season, and we all know what happened next.

[CJ]

Can't we just get rid of them? Just pay them off and fuck them off?

Has any club ever tried getting rid of a player based on the fact they're not doing their job properly?

Well if Agbonlahor can turn up two stone overweight, is literally not fit to play, we fine him and he goes shisha partying in Dubai, and he doesn't get his contract cancelled, I think you know the answer to your question

Can he play right back?

No matter who we picked tonight we shouldn't of been subject to that against a division 4 team.

We need leaders on the pitch. Tommy is one but we need more. Shambles on the pitch tonight and for years. There are no Evans, Teale's, Laursen, Mellberg, Mortimer, Richardson or anyone with any balls

We were shafted tonight. No bad luck we deserved to lose

Merse has just said....You're playing For Aston Villa show a bit, show a bit.

Most showed nothing. Not nearly good enough.

When you think about it, it was a good job Wednesday scored so late in the game on Saturday otherwise I'm sure it would have been a heavier defeat

at the moment I have to say "if Rotherham"  you think theres any doubt, most of these will play Saturday, and trust me vp will be a quiet place Saturday.
