Very concerning how the form has been so poor since the Albion game and today sounds the worse of the lot. Wigan away next, who are in terrible form, so nothing else than a convincing win will do.

Only good news today, is Ipswich also knocked out, so the match with them on the 26th goes ahead as scheduled.

Thing is, as angry as I am, if you asked me to swap today's shite and the 4th round for taking 6 points off them, I'd tell you to fuck off.

We are going backwards at a rate of knots.
What has happened to moving the ball quicky, pressing high up the pitch and attacking in numbers with pace and power?
Although there is little hoofball, the general style of the way we have played since the Albion game has been very Bruce like.
And that not just down to Jack being out.

just home. quite the worst performance I have seen since Middlesboro turned us over in the League Cup 2-0. I think o'Hare played that night and he was just as appalling today. Not that he was the only one - Kalinic made Nyland look world class and if I see Hutton or GW  in a Villa shirt again I will simply stop supporting the club let alone attending. However, the biggest surprise to me was the crowd - it looked a lot more than 30,500 and they certainly deserved more. Yes it is still the previous incumbent's team, but the honeymoon's over for Dean.

I'd like to see Lansbury in the next game.  I'd also like to see Keinan Davis given a bit more time to see what he can do.

Yeah I thought Lansbury looked good when he came on. Davis also. His movement was excellent. As for the rest only Mcginn gets any credit from me. The defence is just shockingly bad but we already knew that. And what happened re the crowd? 30,000. They must be joking. There's no fucking way there was 12,000 empty seats today.

Relive the tedium

The tail off in form can't be solely due to Grealish being out.  We have been worse since Tuanzebe got crocked as well and with Chester nursing an injury too I think Smith has seen Whelan as a necessary evil to cover a (even more) weakened defence.   That doesn't seem to be working so we may as well go back to playing at high tempo on the front foot and trying to outscore teams.

I'm not sure there was too much wrong with the selection. It was a stronger side than I thought it was going to be.

It was awful though. Only Mcginn looked bothered.

[achilles]

Before everyone and their dog comes on here slating Hutton off, he is a right back being asked for the first time to play left sided centre half, which personally I thought he did okay in the circumstances as he won a good few headers from Swansea's set pieces and tried to carry the ball out of defence but don't let that stop you as the other three defenders played brilliantly didn't they?

That crowd has got to be a mistake.

[Pvb1968]

That was as bad as anything served up in the last 10 years, fucking disgrace.

[Toronto Villa]

Right now I absolutely don’t want us promoted. If you think today was embarrassing against Swansea Fucking City us getting promoted somewhat fortuitously thought the playoffs we’d get battered week in week out. We’d spend a shed load of cash on a disjointed group of players on a base of utter shit. Our squad depth is absolutely non existent.

Some of the players definitely are.

Yes. But that we took 6 points from them suggests we shouldn’t have been completely battered by them on our own patch.
