How is playing with 2 (crap) wingers and a non scoring rookie centre forward going to keep us up?
We should appeal to the FA. The playing of Song 2 after a goal has to be a punishable offence.

Did Smith play Reina at Anfield for sentimental reasons?
The last thing we need is a new poster coming here talking sense.
First time posting, so be gentle please. Have been supporting Villa 45 years now, so seen it all, good and bad.It was clear in the Summer that the home market was massively overpriced and we needed to sign a lot of players. Having to pay £14 Million for Targett and £13 Million for Konza as examples, not recognised Prem players tells us how much established Prem players would cost. So we ended up buying from cheaper leagues abroad and hoped they would step up. In most cases they haven't. The truth is I'm not convinced Smith had a final or total say in many signings. This of course does not help when Smith himself has been found wanting tactically too many times this season, but he is still new to the PremSince Post lockdown some of the selections have been baffling I agree (particularly Trez). I do wonder now just how much Smith has a say in our signings. When you chose to play Davis (and I would have too) and leave out a £10 mil striker when we can't score goals tells me Smith doesn't rate him or know how to play him. Either way I'm convinced Samatta is not Smiths player, along with many others....and with that, even with relegation, Smith should maybe keep his job and Suso sacked. Smith must then have responsibility to stand or fall by his own signings and hopefully buy players that fit a system he wants us to play

So bad is the recruitment and any tactics deployed, I am not sure that there are any other real options, other than perhaps play with a false 9.
