Wigan v Villa post-match thread

[SoccerHQ]

Not often I'm left speechless by a result but certainly am here.

Losing 1-0 away to out of form and poor team Wigan would've been bad enough but to be turned over 3-0 convincingly beggars belief.

This club never ceases to amaze in how when things look promising it can turn into a horrendous run of form in just 4 weeks.

Just feels now like another season which will simply pass us by in this division. With the level of the league this season that is very poor.

For me, whet is becoming more and more apparent is that this bunch is lacking desire and hunger.
Too many players are strolling through games, not busting a gut and making utterly stupid mistakes. And, one of the things that really boils my piss is the number of cheap, pointless free kicks we give away.

Taylor, HOURIHANE, el Khazi, Adomah are all fucking powderpuff weak, especially Hourihane.
Bolasie is like a clueless fucking maniac.
Hause looks like he’s never worn a pair of football boots before.

McGinn is doing the work of 10 men, and Tammy should protect himself and fuck off out of here at the first opportunity on Monday.

Smith has been struck with Villaitus, in record time. The disease that turns promising managers into clueless fuckers.

Not a good day and I can’t see it getting better.

My worry now is that Tammy may change his mind about staying. He didn't even have scraps to feed off today, and with Palace apparently interested he could well do a runner. And who would blame him

[Hookeysmith]

How can the shit players we had under Bruce suddenly look great when Smith first came (Boro & Derby) and then go backwards quicker than an Italian infantry.

Is it too soon to question Smith?

[CT Villan]

Same shit, different day.

I don't understand how 'top class' players somehow don't even have a first touch. Lazy and sloppy. Movement to support the player in possession is non-existent and the defence, wtf ! Bree and Taylor absolute garbage and Chester not far behind. Of course, Elphick who was doing alright got substituted for the incompetent (probably nervous) Hause.

To be fair, we were providing so little service into Tammy that adding another striker would probably not have had any effect.

[Bad English]

I'm going to have a drink.

Weeks of crap merge in to months of crap and months of crap merge into years of crap. Will the light at the end of the tunnel ever become a reality or just some piss taker shining a torch to get our hopes up...Today was Fuckin shocking.Totally unacceptable. Completely embarrassing.  When Wigan taunt us with being shit we know we have plumbed new depths.  The real concern is we might even get worse. The answer to the problem is something I honestly don't know. Smith needs time but with his substitutions today considering the score he also needs someone to have a word with him.

[ChicagoLion]

the problem isn't the midfield, it's all 11

I am concerned that he seems as stubborn as Bruce, it’s 4 3 3 regardless.
It has not worked since Grealish has been gone,

[andyh]

Compare us to Leeds.
And then have a little cry.

[Legion]

All together now (again)...

We're not very good
We're not very good
We're not very, we're not very
We're not very good

[Risso]

Taylor was the standout shit performance today, but honourable mentions for Chester, Bolasie and Bjarnason as well, who were all woeful. Mention too for Hause for a truly dreadful cameo as sub.

[Pete3206]

I was going to be good this weekend but fuck it, I'm going to get pissed instead.

[CT Villan]

Compare us to Leeds.
And then have a little cry.

If Leeds played like we did this week and last, Bielsa would be ripping limbs off players. Come on Dean light the proverbial rocket under this shower of shit.

[Villa Lew]

Couldn't believe the result and the match stats equally embarassing. This month was suppose to be our easy month, in form Hull City next, they beat Wednesday 3 - 0 today.

[TopDeck113]

Having a coffee in the Costa outside the DW and wracking my brains as to think of a worse performance whilst we've been in this division.  A few surges forward by McGinn was about all we offered over 90 minutes.

To a litany of shitness I would add Bolaise to the list of players who I look forward to never again seeing in a Villa shirt. 

Oh, and a goalkeeper who believes short throws to closely marked defenders is a viable outlet when your under the cosh.
