Preston v Craven Mollycoddled Shits Post-Match Thread

[ASHTONVILLA]

Still angry.

I see a lot of Preston, and the fans will consider it a good season if they finish a point above relegation. They totally bossed Villa today, and none of the team looked arsed about it. Not one player looked bothered, or fit. Not one player did well.

There is something seriously wrong with the manager and coaches, not one of their players would get anywhere near our squad, FFS their two best payers are Villa cast-offs.

I have spent all afternoon being wound up by my PNE supporting in-laws, and just hope that Dr Tony doe the right thing and fires RDM first thing in the morning. It has to happen, he has lost the fans now.

Whilst Di Matteo should rightly shoulder the blame for today, the players shouldn't be let off the hook. They owe 5,700 fans an apology as well.

They continue to be a shambles. No matter the management. No matter the owner. No matter if we spend 10 million, 20 million or 50 million in a window. Same shit different day. What on McGrath's green earth do we actually have to do to halt the demise of the club? It just seems like there's no way out.

I can't believe how bad that was, it was just woeful from start to finish. Four strikers on the pitch in the second half smacked of desperation. Jedinak and Westwood put in a midfield performance a Sunday league pair would have been ashamed of.

Watching the highlights is quite sickening. Jedinak's set up for their forward to score...FFS we know he is slow but what's wrong with his eyes? And how slow was Elphick in turning and covering? Westwood's shameful effort  for their second is deplorable. You lost the ball weasel now try to recover it rather than prancing about and then setting off on a slow run where our former youth player made up 20 yards and got ahead of him to the loose ball. Too many shit players not giving a shit!

Jedinak should understand the limit of his talent and look where he's fucking passing.

More than that, the home stands had a lot of Villa fans in them. There must have been 200 Villa fans in the Tom Finney stand where I was.

Yes, it was player error that cost the goals today.

But I'd also argue that there is clearly no team spirit in the Villa side. They don't fight for each other, there's no urgency in their play and little coherence. It is very much a collection of individuals.

I look back to when O'Neill took over from O'Leary - with pretty much the same team that Dolly left - and put some steel into the team. Made them hard to beat - committed and hard working; aggressive. Not to say that we need O'Neill back, but those qualities can be extracted from players by the right manager.

My point is that Di Matteo is not the man to do this job and he never was.

This Jedinak fella who it seemed most thought was the player we were desperate for, had anybody actually seen him play or was it because he has a beard and looks tough? I can't say I've ever noticed him when he was at Palace and always thought he was a centre half, Palace saw us coming I reckon.

No one mentioned him until w were intersted....a player who was good at one club ( maybe) but could never be the same somewhere else......him and Westwood...wtf....!!!! Pissed up and pissed of !!!!

Dunno. The manager is a coward and the team reflects it.

We must be one of the only teams to have a £36m strike force as score less than a goal a game.

Westwood.....fucking hell, looks even worse on second viewing.

I love the Villa but I'm not in love wth them....😦

Thanks for sitting through that Mr O & describing the abject deeds of those abject tossers. I stopped watching MOTD nearly a year ago for obvious reasons - & I've quickly boycotted C5's effort in a bid to save myself from additional torment. The Beautiful Game has become The Hideous Ordeal. Bastards.

We have an embarrassment of riches up front. Our only shot on target from open play was from Aly. The other was a penalty.
