It's a perfectly valid point. Turning on a manager after two games is moronic, just as it would've been had fans turned on Graham Taylor after his poor start as Villa manager.

Come to think of it, I seem to remember McLeish had quite a decent start!

It just is not surprising, why any one and this includes RDM thinks that by picking these players the outcome is going to change I have no idea.
A few of us keep saying that until there is a clear out of this squad, nothing will change.

I know its early but I am beginning to have serious doubts about RDM.

This is not working.

RDM not working...after two games? I'm glad you don't come to the games on a regular basis with that attitude.
And I am glad that you are a better fan than me, reality check, we just got turned over by Luton.  Wake up.

And your answer would be to sack the manager after two games?

no it's not, just raising concerns because he is playing the same players and getting the same results. I was hoping that by now he would have realised that some of these players should never play for us again.

Maybe, after two games, he now has.

Nah, Chicago Lion has convinced me. Di Matteo should've selected all those brilliant players we left out instead.

Sack him.

Just read your latest missive (very good) and, you seem as mystified as me.
There was some posts earlier about the worst Villa team ever, and I am not old enough to have seen them all. However in terms of attitude I can not remember seeing a Villa team with so many players where the attitude stinks.

i have not turned on the manager and I am not a moron.
I am questioning his judgement which I think is fair considering the results and performances.

was that the blues defeat at home? I was there and remember trundling up the slope of Aston park and  hearing KRO being belted out.

I'm fine with RDM but he didn't give the armband to Richards.

Where are all these amazing players that should be playing instead of the ones RDM is picking? If he left out all the shit then we wouldn't be able to field a full team and I'm pretty sure that's against the rules.

Until more of the shit are replaced then RDM has to make do with what he's got as his disposal, and it's clearly evident that he's trying to see as many of them as possible in action before making final judgements...training and pre-season games don't give a manager the full picture so he has to make informed decisions. RDM also stated weeks ago that we could get off to a tough start and most of that is partly down to the crap deck of players that he needs to shuffle in the transfer window. We may not like these results at the moment, but he's going about it the right way...a little patience is required whilst the transfer window remains open.

So by suggesting I need a reality check means I have to have serious doubts about a manager after two games like you? Thanks, but i'm happy to give him more time before jumping the gun going into our second league game.

And I agree with you on that. But your comments about attitude and attendance are completely out of order in my opinion.
