Craig Gardner? Things must be bad.

[dave.woodhall]

It's late. I've been over-worked.

[old man villa fan]

just about sums it up.  A fog has descended over the Club and I am struggling to see what lies ahead next season.  If change is going to happen, some bold and imaginative decisions need to be made.

Not finishing ahead of Brentford it just defies belief.

In a squad lacking in pace he leaves two of our fastest players out, saw the team and new the result. Kodja probably wanted the day off for although it was a harsh decision he should have known you cannot do that with the player on the ground. Gary Gardner tried hard I will give him that but he really isn't good enough and Amavi well total disappointment.

Spot on.

The list of players we must get rid of just gets longer and longer.

[MplsVilla]

An excellent assessment of the game and why 5-3-2 does not work for us. What I still don't understand is even with 5 at the back, how we were unable to cut out low crosses and even with 11 on the pitch, we did not get tight to their attacking players. It's hard to be optimistic about next week or even next season.
