Brentford v Aston Villa post match thread.

[olaftab]

Why is it so fucking hard?

[Drummond]

Another truly dismal performance.

Agreed.

Following your comment on the match thread do you want Smith out?

No, do you?

Not at all.

He's got a squad that aren't up to it. That Grealish, Tuanzebe and a fit Chester make such a difference is a huge worry.

We need to change so many players.

Hutton was gash again, Elphick didn't cover himself in glory for the goal. McGinn is on his own. Whelan did well the other day but tonight? Hourihane is about as anonymous a midfielder as I've seen. Green, Elmo, Adomah, El Ghazi? All much of a much. i.e. Inconsistent and unable to play in any dangerous crosses.

What a mess of a squad. That's not Smith's remit, though coaching them is.

We're just so lightweight.

[KRS]

Dean needs his own players in. Stupid to suggest yet another change of Manager. The players simply aren't good enough. Overpaid wasters most of them. We have to stick with DS.

Evidence??? Please tell me there is a plan?

I think Aston Villa vs Brentford tonight was sufficient evidence to show the players he has inherited are a load of useless shite, and the players he left at Brentford can at least manage the basics like controlling a ball, passing to each other, moving into space and constructing an attack. The plan has to be to get rid of the majority of the squad and bring in young talented players that want to play football.

Hey TV, we are all, I hope pissed off with this, and I for one feel sad, but at least lets stick it out together

[clash city rocker]

Another Classic to add to the ever growing pile of pathetic games 1 win in 13 now.  No doubt Smith will still be defended god knows why given what we are seeing because there isn't even a glimmer of hope of better things to come.

Do fuck off. Nobody needs your fucking gloating and happiness that we lost and suggestion it would have been better under Bruce. It's because of that wanker we are still in this pissing league in the first place and he's left the club full of cloggers and shit players.

Have to agree that 1 win in 13 is unacceptable

[Axl Rose]

I've said it before, but Smith makes a rod for his own back by picking the same shit players week in, week out. People will ask; 'who could he pick instead?' But he's had months to see they're shit, to watch them consistently underperform, yet hasn't replaced them. More effort was needed during January. It was a pathetic window.

Lose to West Brom, and even worse, Blues, and it'll be a horrible atmosphere.

I don't particularly like Smith, nor the crap tactics he insists on playing and the gormless interviews I keep hearing.

Crap.

Sort it out.

[Matt Collins]

I thought whelan and mcginn were awful first half but did start to improve when we pressed. Quality of passing was still poor

Hourihane was just awful all game

[KRS]

You can't blame Smith for the players he's inherited or the transfer activity.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

After 50 years of going I have finally had enough. Fuck off Villa you are shit. You have been shit for years and you will be shit for years to come so just fuck off. I have had enough.

My feelings exactly. Now get a good nights sleep then take your mind off it following Brexit and the antics of Trump for a couple of days. Come Saturday for no logical reason right now we will be up for it to beat the baggies. It's a funny old game. 

[Deano's Mullet]

All the boxes ticked tonight. Lose to Brentford. Injury time goal. Dirty horrible player gets winner. Season can't end soon enough. Dreading Saturday.

[stubbsyandy]

You can't blame Smith for the players he's inherited or the transfer activity.

Yes you can, he had great performances at Bro, WBA etc...where has that gone?

[Rudy65]

You can't blame Smith for the players he's inherited or the transfer activity.

But you can blame him for not improving us one iota

Dean needs his own players in. Stupid to suggest yet another change of Manager. The players simply aren't good enough. Overpaid wasters most of them. We have to stick with DS.

Evidence??? Please tell me there is a plan?

Brentford pissed all over us yet again with the team Dean Smith assembled playing a style of football that he imprinted into the whole club. All for a fraction of the money we have spunked over 3 years. I'd call that decent evidence for giving him time to sort out our ageing ,unbalanced squad.

For seemingly the two hundredth game in a row, diabolical. My annoyance about that winner only matched by the knowledge there are three months left of the season and we can't rage-quit to get it out of the way.

2nd best for most of the game and cant say Brentford didnt deserve it.  So much for the 'team spirit'. 

To your point, there's actually about 3 weeks left of this season once we've played Albion and Blose.  That's where we are. 

The owners now need to plan for next year down here again with absolute certainty.
