I've often wondered about the nervousness of the crowd affecting players, this lot a different set of players. I know it shouldn't given the amount they have paid but I've no doubt it does.

It's a lack of concentration and fight. Poor mistakes to make.

Interesting there is a cricket reference in there, because Villa at times remind me a lot of England's approach to ODI cricket until recently.  There would often be a decent start, but then instead of accelerating in the middle overs they would lose all momentum and then not be able to regain it in the closing stages. 

The odd game apart, we have been like that this season.  Had a decent start and gone into a lead, but then instead of that being the cue to go up through the gears and take teams apart, we sit back and let teams get momentum.  By the last few minutes, we are just hanging on and conceding becomes almost inevitable.

Most games we've only played well, or even at times very well, for 20-30 mins a game. Even as crap as this division is you won't win many doing that.

I've tried turning the numb-o-meter up to 11 but it's stuck at 9.

On closer examination the mechanism seems to be jammed by a big chunk of anger and a smaller one of hope.

Oh Woofles ditch the hope for the sake of your sanity man!

Sad but true article Dave, it's getting beyond frustrating now.
