Watford v Aston Villa post match thread

[GarTomas]

The brief flicker of hope at the red card was unfortunately a false dawn.

Slow in closing down, laborious in possession. Wesley will take a lot of flak but the time we take in recycling the ball means he’s very little chance of being effective.

3 goals again given away from individual mistakes which you can’t blame Smith for.  But sadly I think his time is up.

[BoVillan esq]

No other way now, I would expect news that Smith has gone within the next 24 hours, not saying this with any malice, I always thought this was going to be tough for him to attract the right players and no experience of the Premiership, so there it is, he must go.

Jack getting himself booked on 95 + put the tin hat on today.

As disgraceful a performance I have seen from a Villa team, and I have witnessed some real shit over the years, like most of us on here.

There really is no point analysing or rationalising the game, the decisions and the performance.

The only thing to hope for is that the owners have a decisive streak in them.

[RichardBatchelor]

Horrible, horrible, horrible stuff.

Only Hause comes out with his head held high for me.

But a word about Sarr. What a t*** he was all game, notwithstanding the fact he's a decent player.

[LukeJames]

Legend for getting us up, massively out of his depth now.

Watch Wolves against 10 men yesterday, watch us against 10 men four times this season. Embarrasing stuff.

Anyone who thinks Smith will resign is very much mistaken, he will want his payout,and I don’t blame him

If they do get rid then i should imagine that Moyes will get the job

Listening to Jack at lunchtime today, I would imagine he will want away as well

[Nev]

The manager looks lost, the players look half arsed, the stats are damning. Only a change will give us a chance I'm afraid, I don't believe any manager would expect to survive this set of results, performances and our place in the table.

[Nastylee]

No athleticism is midfield. Awful squad once a couple of key players are out.

The line up looked Championship standard but didn't even perform to league one level. Where do we go next? Can anyone see where another 20 points are coming from?

[Three Spires Villa]

So to the posters who questioned any one who said the team Dean played or had a hand in bringing to the club were being negative, A blind man could see that team was going to get beat. I hope people realise that the players & how they are played, along with Dean are letting us down. I feel sorry for Dean, but he will take us down. Over to the board

[jwarry]

That was a catastrophe from beginning to end. Even when we had reasonable spells our ability to shoot our selves in the foot was exemplary. Their second goal was just bizarre. Every body in the ground could see Targett was prostrate except our bloody players and guess what, not for the first time this season the opposition score where there is huge gap. Amateurs

Why Moyes? I can't fucking stand the bloke.

[dicedlam]

There is something not right between the players and coaching staff and when that happens there is usually just one outcome.

[pauliewalnuts]

That was genuinely as bad as anything in the relegation season.

[robbo1874]

That was utter Blues. The worst Villa performance I’ve seen for quite a long time.

[sid1964]

Moyes because he has premier league experience and kept West Ham up when they were in the shit, also he is available now!

Can’t think of anyone else who is going to walk away from their job to a relegation threatened team
