Thanks,  but think I'll give it a miss this time. I thought I was immune to this shit after last season but it's starting to hurt again.

Too many forwards not enough in midfield.
It's a real kick to the go gos both performance and result. Really really hoped turned a corner and Preston aren't any great shakes.  I like to see a settled team and worry is RDM isn't sure who to play and for in fitting system.
I admire and adore the support shown travelling fans both v Preston and Barnsley.  Players need a positive mental attitude training over next days and weeks to turn it around. I think quality is there and sometimes application but it's the lack of positively which is repressing the creativity and also the luck. Though today was a bad day plenrly of time to go in season and Burnley are e.g. of winning many matches after Xmas to go up. Can't win league after a few matches .

RDM's interviews are always the same. He doesn't seem to realise that sticking a load of forwards on doesn't mean goals.

He came out with all the usual platitudes a manager in his situation comes out with.
You could tell he did not believe what he was saying and therefor no one else will.
I said this was a must win game for him, he lost and will be fired this week.

Oh yea the classic let's put all the strikers on the pitch approach ..it didn't work years ago against bloody Bradford in the cup and it won't work now.

50 mil pissed up the wall and we have a midfield of Jedinek and Westwood ..pathetic no wonder the strikers arnt scoring with that shit behind them..

Started listening but you were right, two down and we had the ball both times, aaaaggghhhh!

[footyskillz]

Now do we know what the best formation is. and get system right . Have plenty of players and options .
In midfield Aaron Tshibola should be starting as shpuld gary gardner as both can drive from midfield and offer far more goal threat than westy wayward. Kodija can be the man players feed off with adomah supporting him.  McCormack is a must and play everything thru him . If that means no ayew or getrealish in starting 11 then so be it .

This front 5.
Tish and Gardner adomah
Mcormack
Kodja

I get that as fans we sometimes wear our hearts on our sleeves and logic is dispensed with, but every single fan on this forum knew that was a dud line up before a ball was kicked. I don't know what his salary is but RDM has done f**k all to deserve a single penny of it, and when Xia gets rid, he'll be compensated with Christ knows how many millions for total, unmitigated, abject failure. We lost to Preston today. Preston.

[Gregorys Boy]

What a total shambles from beginging to end.  We were absolutely clueless today.  One of the most dire performances I have seen from a Villa side. 

We didn't even start with our best eleven which might have been a start.  The shape of the side was awful we were feeble in midfield, too slow and predictable moving forward.  Wide open at the back.  We struggled to do even the basics right.  He waited till we were pretty much out of the game to make the changes and then he once again plays Ross out of position.  I don't think we ever would have scored even if the game was still going on now.  A complete and utter disagrace and a slap in the face to the strong travelling support and to this great football club.  And the sad thing is Preston didn't even have to work for the win.  We made life so easy for them.  They bossed the game and we let them.

Ghastly.

Fucking hell, where does it end?

I've got a crate of cheap lager, anyone got Barry Fry's phone number?

[ROBBO]

We seem to turn decent players in to non league players, I am over criticising the players because most of them have proven records elsewhere, if the manager can't see the blindingly obvious then get rid now. I want the new owner to be deadly (pardon the pun) I have had enough of giving managers more time, if he hasn't got a settled team by now he never will.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Listening to that interview, the only thing to come out of RDM's mouth that he actually believes is about the groin strain. The rest is utter bullshit.. and he knows it. He's way out of his depth and that he's finally realised.

[KRS]

Lowlights

WTF is Jedinak doing on 40 seconds?!...its as if he's never seen a football in his life! Fucking pathetic.
