Cardiff battered Villa Post Match Thread

What's optics?

Meet me down the pub and I'll show you old boy

We badly missed Bacuna.

What is it that makes players, coaches, managers with hitherto solid and in some cases exciting reputations, curl up and die as soon as they come to our great club? It's not as if ''it's the fans lofty expectations at Villa Park''. Our away form, freed from most of us demanding supporters, is a scandal.
There can't be any other club in the world that has had such a wretched decade as us.
I feel sorry for anyone on here who's had babbies in the last seven years and been repeatedly embarassed in attempts to cajole their offspring into following us. A whole new generation of Villa fans being wiped-out.
Maybe our vision will be 2020 in three years time and the club will finally be able to see clearly.

I was another one of those who hoped SB would be sacked after the final match of last season. We could have had all pre-season to get a more forward thinking manager in and, he would have had the time then to have a good look at the players and sort out a game plan. I saw nothing in the pre-season friendlies or against Hull to convince me anything had changed. Same dour stuff.
Sadly now, even if we get someone else, choices are restricted. Things should always be changed before a season starts as, otherwise, you appoint someone new who then needs time to bed in etc.etc.ad infinitum and, probably another wasted season!!

Guess the after match comments?

'It's been a horrible one.  They had that little bit of quality we were lacking.  We've lost Jack, Mile and Jonathan and they're big players.  I've now lost Elmo whose picked up a bad one. I thought it was a nothing game until the first one went in.  We'll br bang at it on Tuesday for sure.'

[Mossie Hennebry]

The club is rotten from the ground up and has been for some time now. We have changed, managers, assistant managers, owners, players and executives and it remains the same.

[Ger Regan]

Why did we take off Onomah who was easily our best player today? It was just bizzare

Because bruce hasn't a bloody clue.

'It's not my fault, all of our best players were injured and the ones I've signed are shit. What do you expect?'

[garyshawsknee]

The BBC said it could have been double and that wouldn't have looked harsh on Villa.

How have we fallen this low?

Years of employing very average managers.

[kippaxvilla2]

Sorry I should've clarified that was me guessing what they will be.

What B.S. One player he was looking to replace and one player he couldn't get a tune out of, and probably wouldn't start anyway.

FAKE NEWS!!

How many did we have at Cardiff today, 5k? Certainly very few clubs that would take that sort of following when we continue to be diabolical away.

Newcastle take thousands away but they're not as bad as us as they always get promoted out of this division at the first time of asking.

[cdbearsfan]

Wow. I didn't think it would be THAT bad.
