Shambolic Aston Villa vs Smethwick Post-Match Thread

Big hairy bollocks.

We're playing much like we did in the relegation season. No form, fight, idea, spark. The season's played out and everyone at the club is marking time until we can reset. It's an awful feeling that I hoped never, ever to have to experience again. Yet here we are.

[Risso]

Smith has that paralysed rabbit in a headlights look that Garde had.  Out of his depth, unable to change anything or galvanise the team.

[Holy Trinity]

Oh dear! This is Grimm. Can we forfit the remaining fixtures and just move on to next season already

[jwarry]

If it’s wasnt Dean, a man who who understands us, we would be voting with our feet and throwing cabbages at him by now, but for some insane reason I still feel we should give him time, not least because we know he’s had these dips at his previous clubs.  Not sure our new(ish) owners will be so patient though !

Season over on 16th February.  All I can hope for now is smethwick don’t make it.

Did anyone really believe that we would get a result with that formation again?

It hasn't worked for weeks yet the manager persists with it. If he'd tried something else and we had lost then at least he can use it as some sort of defence. I said on Wednesday, a feeling I had from the SU game, that he is all at sea, he's getting further and further out now.....

[Holy Trinity]

Double post.

Got an error message with my first attempt

[The Moose]

What excuse this week Dean?

[TonyD]

I think Smith needs a good hard look at what he is dishing up...

[russon]

I think the manager should be questioned for not getting a hint of a tune out of this squad, it’s been absolutely pathetic for so long now that he can’t be allowed to hide anymore. Yes he inherited a shipwreck but hells bells surely he can at least get them to put their shorts on the right way round.

[QuintonVilla]

Meh. Couldn't give a flying feck, like the players.

[russon]

Big hairy bollocks.

Wrong forum mate, will send you a recommendation via PM.

[curiousorange]

I'm not sure I trust a man who, when the players he has can't play the system he wants, sticks with the system.

[hilts_coolerking]

It's just not good enough to say we can't judge Smith til he has his own players, as if he gets a free pass til then.  He's the manager of this club right now, not in six months, or twelve months.  Fucking sort it out Smith.
