1-1 away at a crap stoke team. Bruce as much as I hated him would have been vilified for the run we are on at present. As much as I hope Smith succeeds he needs to take responsibility for a fuckin awful run of results....piss poor and simply not good enough.

Have you looked at the injury list and John McGinn's suspension?

[Malandro]

The Manager: Poor body language by players.

Fans: I’m looking for a corner sofa.

On the train going home, I thought we did very well in the 2nd half, at times looked like a team, yes Stoke are poor, but better away performance than Brentford & Reading.

[Risso]

Still, one win in 11 now.  Four very difficult games coming up.

No of course not .. after 50 + years of going to villa park I know fuck all about injury lists and shit football teams. I just listen to all the usual crap excuses. Well there ain't no fuckin excuses anymore as far as I am concerned. We are crap...have spent fuckin fortunes and are not going anywhere for years to come.

And now Hutton looks to be fucked for a good while too.

Absolutely, but better (in the 2nd) than what I have seen recently away, so maybe.........

[Toronto Villa]

We all thought the comeback against Sheff Utd would be a catalyst. It’s wasnt. I still think we are in for a very bumpy ride through to the end of the season.

[AV82EC]

Just got home, much much better today. 2nd half we looked a real threat.

[KRS]

Some Villa fans really are deluded and need to take off their claret and blue glasses if they think this patched up shell of a team is capable of performances and entitled to get results. Expectations are always high for a club of our stature but we have to be realistic when we see the players available and on the pitch. Without our best players we are an average mid table Championship team at best, and to expect Smith to get better performances out of players that are not capable is not realistic. Smith wouldn't be expected to turn Swansea, Hull, Blackburn or Sheffield Weds into promotion contenders without at least a summer transfer window, so he shouldn't be expected to turn this weakened squad to do so either.

[Legion]

Get In! We got a 1:1 Victory!!!!

I bet you're gutted we came back to claim a point.

Good. He's been a liability for a good while, so at least Smith will be forced to try someone else back there (if we have any other options).
