That he hasn’t been fired suggests to me we are all missing the big picture. That none of us are smart to see the “plan”. I mean how else do you explain it? That a year after going up and all of the financial rewards it brings that we are in all likelihood about to go straight back down. Lose our best players yet again. It must be something we are all missing as to why Dean Smith hasn’t been replaced by somebody, anybody that can keep us up.

Your probably right.  'You took us down, you bring us back up.  In the meantime, we give you permission to pull together all of the incoming transfers, whilst we sell your best players'.  Fuck, I hope we are wrong TV.

2 points from our last 27. How is he still in gainful employment?

It is pretty incredible.

It reminds me of the last relegation season where we effectively gave up in January. We've done the same thing, only this time driven by a desperate wish for the manager to do well.

All we have seen so far is that he - and most of the players signed by Suso - are just not good enough for this level. The likes of Konsa, for example, might become good enough, but right now, they're not. Keinan Davis, AEG, Trezeguet, Hause, Targett, Jota, Wesley, Nakamba - all not good enough.

And that is why we are going down.

Nice bloke, Dean, Villa fan, too, but if it weren't for the fact he's 'one of us' he'd have been gone long ago.

If we don't get a win in the last 5 games we'd have actually gone longer winless than in 15/16 when our last win of that season was in early February. Only at Villa. Really not sure how he could survive us going down in that manner. It's been abysmal since middle of January.

I for one am sick to death of it all. Aston Villa since 2010 has been a story of misery.

I can't be bothered checking but does anyone know if Lambert had a run as bad as this, i.e. 10 without a win? I set him as the lowest of low bars. Leaving 15/16 aside of course which was just all sorts of record breakingly shit.

There was a shot of Dean on the touchline in his too-tight sportswear and he looked like he should be running a burger van.

Sounds like a good strap line for a DVD. “A decade of misery”. A cast of imbeciles you just won’t believe. 

Should be in the club shop next month!

How many more goals do we need to concede to match the 2016 atrocity?

A bit unfair, they have trusted a CEO and a management team to get it right and invested millions.
The test is what the fuck do they do now.

As someone highlighted earlier, I just hope they still want to throw money at it. The aim was PL, and whilst we may have gone up a season earlier than they thought, it looks likely we will be back in the Championship .

12 without a win saw the end of Lambert. The following season we went 19 without a win!😳

8 points from the last 13 matches is atrocious. Today was our 20th league defeat.

Smith out.

Totally agree.

Harsh on the owners.
