Well done Dean, leading Villa to two Wembley appearances in less than a year. Also I believe he is the first English manager since Harry Redknapp to get a team to a Wembley final.

To get a *Premier League* team to League Cup Final.  The Bradford manager was English but we can forget about that!

It's safe to say that the 'Smith is the new Lambert' line can now be dismissed -at least as far as League Cup semi-finals are concerned!!

Yep, in getting to a cup final, Smith is clearly the new Sherwood! ;)

I feel very uneasy about the relationship between Smith, Suso and Purslow. Perhaps it’s paranoia from the last few regimes.

My gut feeling, Smith will be gone within a year.

Smith and Purslow looked pretty close on Tuesday night. And at Burnley.

What makes you say that?

Today’s first half illustrates a problem for us. Far too often our level just drops through the floor, it’s not we’re a bit off our game we’re fucking miles off. Dean has to be better and stabilising this sort of thing. You can’t be ace all the time, but we shouldn’t drop like we do.

Isnt able to motivate a fucking team for 90 minutes. Another shambles performance and another game against ten men he has failed to get anything from.

Not good enough

Well yes fully agree. Today was unacceptable and it was another game from minute one then opposition looked to have more intent and accuracy. If we don’t massively step it up we’ll be relegated.

Jack aside, we’re a team of hot and cold players with a hot and cold coach. Not a great combination for grinding out the wins we need.

Dear Mr Appleyard,

Any chance you could coach the defenders at some stage this season please?

You don’t even need to be ace to stay in this league. We just need to be shit a lot less often.
