Preston v Craven Mollycoddled Shits Post-Match Thread

[mr underhill]

I never want to see JG in a Villa shirt again. A monumental tosser of Ireland-like proportions but without even that tool's modicum of talent

[Risso]

So much for all the 'leaders' on the pitch. Elphick is completely shit and about as inspirational as a wet sock. Jedinak is even worse.

[Ducksworthy]

I think the fans were quite right to sing sacked in the morning and not fit to wear the shirt today. That was disgraceful from the team.

I will give it to Ayew that he tried - didn't get far but tried - and Gestede who did the best he could with what he had. He also stood right in front of us clapping as deserved abuse was thrown at the team and in turn got applauded himself. Also nice of Johnson and the other lad to come over at the end to applaud the fans.

Other than that, Jedinak is wank and Westwood was Westwood. I await Dave's musings on it all because I'm too tired and fed up to say much else. Our fans are too good for these players.

Piss awful. The second half lineup was Sherwoodesque in its desperation. I know we should be setting our sights higher than seeing the Small Heath game as anything other than just another game but there are no set of circumstances that I want that man picking the team against them. None at all.

Hate to say it but I think he's got to go, right timing aswell with an International break. I wanted to give him time but he got no reaction from the team today and lost the away fans, once that happens you're done. Tactically he is lacking but the players have left him down aswell. So called leaders who cost big money and are on big wages have been nothing short of pathetic.

I shudder at some of the names being said on Twitter though. Steve Bruce is an ok manager but I can't stand him and can't imagine seeing that big fat head in our dugout every week. Pearson who has been excellent at Derby this season... Sherwood is the one that gets me, some people slating RDM for his tactics and then saying they want Sherwood back. Mental. The options aren't great. Whisper it quietly but I think I'd take Rowett from the unwashed.

Where are RDM's post-match quotes?

Huddersfield made it 8 wins in 11 this season. We have to back 59 games for 8 wins, the 4-0 at Sunderland under Sherwood a year and a half ago.

Huddersfield also completely rebuilt their team over the summer. Only difference is they spent less than £2.5m.

[Mister E]

Just got back.
Two things to say about the play:
1. How is it that we have three speedsters up front - in Ayew, Adomah and Kodjia - and then play tippy-tappy in defence / midfield? PLAY TO STRENGHS, YOU IDIOTS.
2. How is it that the defence remains so uncommunicative, poorly organised and bereft of common sense? We gave both goals away so poorly that I fear for our C'ship status.

A couple of weeks ago I said: give Clarke and RdM until the end of November. My view is now is that they need to go so that we can start a proper re-building process sooner rather than later.

I remained positive through all these draws and point thrown away while we were at least creating chances and outplaying teams for large chunks of games, hitting the woodwork and losing late goals.  It looked like it was just a question of time before our luck turned and everything clicked.  That positivity has now been more or less eroded.  RDM might as well be shorthand for RanDoM because that's what his selections and tactics look like.  We're now losing without doing the right things, which can't go on.

Whisper it quietly but I think I'd take Rowett from the unwashed.

In a heartbeat.

[saunders_heroes]

Well that was as bad as anything last season, if not worse. I think I'd sack RDM just for picking Westwood alone. He should never kick a ball for us again and if I had my way the manager would be sacked tonight. I'm sick of the state of this club. Just sick of it.

[Ron Manager]

Whisper it quietly but I think I'd take Rowett from the unwashed.

In a heartbeat.

I'd take Nick Berry!

[villadelph]

Where are RDM's post-match quotes?

..anyone?

[Ron Manager]

I feel desperately sorry for Tony Xia but RDM was his choice as our manager.

[sirlordbaltimore]

I've been saying give RDM time but he's lost my support after today. The starting eleven was bizarre, and he's clearly not learning anything from match to match. It's as if he's just throwing pieces onto the floor hoping they'll form themselves into a picture.
