Barnsley v Aston Villa Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Just home from work and sounds like we're not up too much. Where are you guys following, is it in the wireless? Or something else? (pm)

Radio WM on FM.

[TonyD]

Any radio links.  Can't get WM.

[devilla]

0-0 half time.
Co commentator saying that villa don't really look interested and that they need to show some interest.
Also says that if RDM wants to keep his job then the team needs to show some desire to win it.

i've absolutely noticed this in a lot of our games. Newcastle was a perfect example, for 70 minutes we looked like we collectively could not give a fuck - no drive, no desire, no passion.

A directionless mess.

Fail to win either this or the next match and I would seriously think about binning him. We've got such a piss poor return from almost a quarter of the season, we already look like we'll be here next year too.

Invariably it's lack of confidence I think, rather than not being bothered

I think you're right. I've been saying for ages that we need a sports psychologist working with the team. RDM certainly can't seem to get inside their heads to sort the problem.

Get McCormack and Gestede on.

[dutchvilla]

lack of confidence is the manager's fault

[PeterWithesShin]

Grealish on his heels so another opportunity wasted.

[Risso]

Who'd have thoght that at this stage of the season RDM would have a worse win percentage than Sherwood or Garde.

[pauliewalnuts]

Get McCormack and Gestede on.

This.

[curiousorange]

I'm following on Bet365 too. Every time Villa have a "dangerous attack", it's immediately followed by "Barnsley in possession".

[N'ZMAV]

FFS. More misses.

Bye RDM.

[CJ]

Should have scored - lack of conviction

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm off to watch that thing with Robbie Coltrane as a possible kiddie fiddler.

[aj2k77]

I'd take off Grealish asap and get McCormack on, possibly Adomah for Westwood too.

[andyh]

Another missed chance because of being a bit half arsed!

[themossman]

It's actually quite an achievement to get this collection of players, playing for this club, in this league, looking devoid of confidence.
