Dr T has pulled the trigger

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Westwood and Gardner have only ever played together when there's been no other choice. What do you expect him to do?

I agree he fucked up against forest by not changing it when we were 2-1 up. But it was his gung Ho tactics that got us into the lead

It was also his gung ho tactics that he used when he easily took WBA up from the Championship.

If, come the new year 2018, we're still where we aree or worse, I won't hesitate to call for Di Matteo' s head to roll.

Our start hasn't been terrible and we'll improve over the next few moths.....

[brian green]

Sorry Rob, you are a good mate and a true Villa fan but our start has been terrible by any measure.

[Monty]

I agree, I'm pro-gung-ho, especially if you look at our squad. That's why I was disturbed by the defensiveness of Ipswich and the second half against Brentford - there's no way this is the team with which to dig in and grudge out a minimal result.

Sorry Rob, you are a good mate and a true Villa fan but our start has been terrible by any measure.

Never mind Denis Healey. .I wonder what Hugh Gaitskell would have thought of the current Villa crisis

[eamonn]

I'm worried that promotion is not the aim this season in Di Matteo's mind. None of his quotes suggest it, even yesterday he was talking about a point away from home always being a good result.

RDM seems too laid-back to worry about any targets, maybe he's just said "Thanks for the dosh, we'll do our best with all these new players but it might take a while" to Xia.

If we're calling for his head in early 2018 it'll be too late by then.

I think he was a bit shocked at what he found upon arrival and is trying to manage expectations

I'm really not sure he is the man for the job. But we've seen just how important it is for the overall strategy for the club to be right. That just can't include hiring managers, giving them £50m and then sacking them after 8 games (2 defeats) etc etc

I agree and it really can turn around very quick. I don't think we're actually far off. A slight shift could easily see us beat Newcastle and Barnsley and everything changes

we realise we were in a shit state cuz of that ****** lerner, but we have spent £59m and we are playing inferior teams, shouldn't we expect a little bit more than played 8 won 1 , 8points.

Give the manager a bit more time, but if by November he aint getting results,

Go get Bruce.

да, это становится довольно раздражающим.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

The only way I'd want Bruce (and I don't want RDM out, just yet) would be on a contract til the end of the season with promotion the only objective. Once promoted I'd replace him. Harsh but necessary. Watford did similar and it worked.

Bruce is good at getting teams promoted to the PL but also good at getting them relegated again.
