Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[peter w]

To be honest we played this badly against Everton when we won 4-0 for a large chunk of the game. the difference being Man City had a higher tempo( see what happens when you have pace in the team DOL?) a team who looked hungrier, and a team with belief. We had none. The 2nd goal v Everton took the wind out of their sails and the final score didn't reflect how poor we had been.

Your right there is not a good feeling about the place at the moment and its been like this all season. Is it the takeover dragging on? Is it Ellis? Is it DOL? Is it the players?

The players have shown every now and then there is a team there. But not consistently. Is it them or the manager/management/coaching staff? Man City played higher up the pitch than we did but we couldn't counteract it. They seemed to constantly isolate Vassell against one defender. We couldn't counteract it. Hughes has seemingly forgot how to play the offside trap, do we not wotrk at this tirelessly in training?

DOL and Ellis? What ios the relationship? Surely the chairman can see what we can, but I don't think his torpor will become any more excitable whilst he knows he's selling up.

So what's next? We sit around waiting for something to happen? We just play a waiting game whilst we have a bored looking chairman, a poor manager, average team, and dwindling support?

Am I worried about Villa? Abso-fucking-lutley.

[peter w]

No-one else worried anymore? Has apathy won without a fight? Think for a minute! Stop for a minute.

Something is going on...changes taking place...children smilng in the Trinity enclosure have gone without a trace. The terraces use to be full...they used to make me smile...and now it seems that everyone could sit in single file...and many bow their heads in shame....that used to hold them high...and those that revered goings on at the Villa...have turned to just hating the dwellers of The Sty...think for a minute...

I'm worried Peter. To be honest I will be glad when this season is over, so far it has made me moody and miserable. This was after the early optimism I had, with the new signings.

Unless something drastic happens in the Summer, I for one will not be looking forward to next season at all. At the moment we look like a Club on the slide.

[ROBBO]

I think there should be a ban on singing about the unwashed until we've got our own house in order. I would prefer a day of amusing anti DOL songs to fill the afternoon.

[JD]

When I used to regularly go to see the Villa, home and away, we hardly ever mentioned the unmentionables, but now that's all you hear.

It would be nice to hear the crowd in full roar, being pro-Villa, rather than anti-unwashed.

Unfortunately, I can't see this happening while we still have the current regime of Chairman & Manager in place. Shame really.  ](*,)

[peter w]

The writing was on the wall at the very first game V bolton 2-2 after 10 minutes, then on the bacak foot for the next 80. Sign new players before the transfer window closed. then get stuffed 4-0 the very next game. 8-3 win at Wycombe and the manager criticises fans for being 'fickle' for criticising the eam when 3-1 down at half time. Out played at Doncaster and easily beaten 3-0. Too often are their excuses. Never accountability.

If you think 17,000 is dragging on....

[peter w]

Whoa  [-X there. You raised this from the dead dave so hush. I seem to be the only worried one which is a worry. I'm off on hols today for a week and a bit and I doubt there'll be in life by the time I get back. Its sad but its true. Sniff.

[JD]

Dear God, this thread slipped to the second page. We can't have that. In Peter's absence we have to keep the fight going.

Anything actually happening with our future, or are we just continuing to slowly slide into obscurity?  ](*,)

[villajk]

If you think 17,000 is dragging on....

This is getting fucking boring or should be on another thread.

The only chance of sorting this is reincarnation for some people. The walk from Hull Station to the ground via 3 pubs has fucked my knees up. I will never play again in this lifetime.

By the way, the pubs are friendlier than 30 years ago.

[Drummond]

Well I'm not worried over my Villa future.

[ROBBO]

Jeez Pete if JD doesn't log on I will be talking to myself for a week. Okay I do that already, so what, doesn't everyone.

[Bigmelonface]

Crap shit

[Dave Cooper please]

Crap shit

Yeah, I know what you're saying man, crap shit man, yeah.

[JD]

Never fear Robbo, I'm not going anywhere. Haven't had much time today, what with a 30km training time trial and then having to front up at the Football Club I coach at for players registration.  :smt002
