Ipswich v 0 shots on target Villa Post Match thread

Ads, I'm with you on this one. So many seem to be content if we finish mid table. Like you, I'm not happy with that prospect at all, we are Aston Villa not Pelsall Villa, with due respect to them!!!

[Matt Collins]

Maybe after years of ongoing decline we should recognise the scale of the job and stop assuming that each consecutive manager is awful and that any previous achievements are somehow a con?

Last season was the worst villa team I've ever seen by a country mile, and one of the worst the premier league has ever seen. I really didn't think we'd be anywhere near promotion this season

Having bought the players we've got in, we should be competing right at the top of the table. But we will be inconsistent and take time to gel

i still saw enough against forest and in other games to think we've got the ingredients to do that. Our biggest enemy is now confidence - the manager, the player and the fans

A game against Newcastle could be what we need to step up. Of course, it could be a throughly dispiriting defeat

No chance of anything but a Newcastle bounce back next week. A good chance we will be in the bottom 3 before a ball is kicked and once you're in, it's hard to get out.

as people have rightly said

£50 million spent in the championship with 1 win in 8 games and the worrying sign is I think the signings have been good as the fans of the clubs who we signed them from all said why did we let him go etc etc and a great signing for Villa but RDM has made them look pretty average at the moment .

I mean Jedinak has gone from MOM for Palace in the Prem to looking lacklustre and lost at the moment in the championship and the so called leaders we have supposed to have signed has turned into cheerleaders instead.  He seems to have the Lambert knack of turning a solid player into a no confidence waste of space . 

He needs to sort this quickly

I love away games. I don't have to sit through away games. I actually feel ok today. Really I do.

The face you make when you realize you have mistakenly signed up for celebrity bukakke.

Very very poor in all depts.

Nothing changes from week to week - no urgency , pathetic pedestrian passing.

Every corner is the same . No variation or invention.

Every corner we defend we have every player back - no out ball so the ball comes straight back .

It's basics

[oldham_villa]

it doesn't help matters when our creative players are so predictable. For me, Grealish and Ayew are like a hybrid of Simon Stainrod. Nice bit of skill, but you just know hardly fuck all will come of it

I thought we were well on top without ever looking threatening - our composure during the injury time period was more than alarming.

Do we have any youth players that play centre mid?

Ah but can they point? No one can point like Westwood, no one I tells yer.

[David_Nab]

That was utter shit.We clung on to draw against a team who spent the grand sum of a million quid in summer.2 clearances of the line and the post saved us.Not that they deserved it they were shit too but they at least had a game plan and were dangerous at set plays.

Defence looked shaky most of the game under the little pressure they were put under ,midfield is so one paced and has no one who can take hold of a game.Jedinek can break play up but he still looks slow and him and Westwood play tidy passes but cause opposition no problems.They aim to give it to attackers and stand and watch them do something .We get taken apart near end of games as they just can not control the game.

Ayew and Grealish did ok ,former was always busy but I feel if he was closer to goal he would be more dangerous.Grealish needs movement around him and got very little.

New team so needs time to gel but I just feel we don't have the right players , Tshibola again. O able to play and without him just no drive in middle of pitch.

So today didn't work, what's the formation we try next week? 7 days to conjure something else up.

[Ron Manager]

Do we have any youth players that play centre mid?

We do. Riccardo Calder out on loan somewhere. A big lad.

[mr underhill]

Loose to Newcastle and Tony will get trigger happy. Robbie's not a leader.

Doncaster, wiki says for 6 months, if he has a recall option get him back, sack off that little pointing girl and try him out. The only way he can be any worse is if he's actually Gary Gardner in disguise.

[JUAN PABLO]

Westwood never gets injured

but you wont if you dont tackle
