Ipswich v 0 shots on target Villa Post Match thread

[Toronto Villa]

RDM is beginning to sound a bit nuts.

Beat Newcastle and we'll only be 4 behind them. The only problem with this scenario is we'll probably get dicked.

Quite. I fear a comfortable win for them and us plunging towards the bottom.

I'd take a draw now and then try and build at Barnsley and Preston.  If we can't get an away win in those two I'd make a change if I was Dr T

See the real problem wasn't really today, ok we were poor but IF we'd beat Forest and Brentford at home and then drew 0-0 today people would have said it was a decent away point and 7 from 9. When you consider who we've played at home, to only beat Rotherham is pathetic.

[Matt Collins]

We've not lost at home so far and haven't come anywhere near losing. I'm less pessimistic than that. Getting the midfield right will be key of course and I hope Tshibola is considered more match fit. The fact he didn't make the bench today isn't that encouraging though.

[aj2k77]

Tshibola was fit just not considered match fit for today, bar any set backs he will be back for the next game.

And if we'd had half the luck we had today spread across those two games we'd have got four more points

[QuintonVilla]

I don't know why, maybe it's the beer, but I actually think we're going to beat Newcastle. It is a massive game and a win could turn our season round.

Just watched the highlights

Not pretty. One chance by the looks of things

But I still maintain that while we've been inconsistent, we very easily could have been in the play off zone with exactly the same performances we've had.

I'm not judging RDM on 8 games and anyone who does is a nazi

Well you can call me Auntie Goebells if you want then, Matt, because I think his non-existent tactical nous; lack of leadership; inability to organise & inspire players - and the resulting unacceptable performances - is not what our football club needs after years of utter shite. If he has the ability to bring about an upturn in our fortunes then he either needs to shape up now, or shove off asap. His prior Championship success at The Bitters seemed to suggest that he would be a good appointment, but I'll be buggered if I can see any signs of him repeating it here anytime soon. Christ knows what he'd have been like if he'd been handed the entire squad of tossers from last season to work with! At least I'd have had some sympathy for him for the rubbish we've served up thus far.

The highlights. Such as they were.

I don't need 8 games to earn my swastika.  Luton with Richards in the captain's armband at centre back gave me a very good idea of RDM's ability.

[spinksy the bfg]

The channel 5 championship programme,  called us the 'clarets and blues ' Fucking pricks.

[UK Redsox]

RDM is correct that as 0-0s go, it certainly wasn't boring; especially the last ten minutes.

It's also correct that, in isolation, a point away from home is good.

However, this was the first time this season that Villa played in a way that deserved to see them beaten by two or three goals.

If we were to "gel" against anybody, it would be trollololol to do so against Newcastle.
