'Poisonous' is a bit strong, Richard.

All apologies.

I just think that the majority of fans don’t want Smith out yet and that the internet is such a potentially harmful tool to enforce knee -jerk decisions. So I’m suggesting that the positive vote for ‘Smith Out’ doesn’t really reflect Villa fans views.

I firmly believe the club is moving in the right direction and this is just a bad patch caused by Grealish leaving, injuries, a very poor start from Buendia, Mings’ loss of form and not having yet found the right formation post-Grealish. I think at this juncture it would be a terrible mistake to sack Smith - and yes, it does count that he’s a Villa fan and a good fit.

Again, though, I apologise if my choice of words was harsh. Sorry.

Is 10 games into the season and with £80m of wingers in the squad the right time to be toying around with wingerless formations though?

Richard no worries  and i apologise for saying you was waffling. without taking the piss and not trying to troll you but im genuinely interested why you think club is going in right direction under smith?

The last four results have been a complete shambles. We have conceded 10 in the last three. Struggled to get the best out of ollie, ings and buendia this year, and 7 wins from 29. Honestly unless i am missing something how are we moving in the right direction?

Gareth Southgate.

If we want a cure for insomnia then a good shout. Just bring your pjs slippers and pillows to villa park

And yet on another thread you’re calling for a big name? He’s the manager of the national side, how big a name is it you want?

Are you seriously calling gareth southgate a big name?

How about you tell us these big names of yours then?

I genuinely think Purslow will go after Gerard. Unless he hands the recruitment to Lange, at which point I have no idea what to expect.

[SteveN]

I think Smith still has enough credit in the bank to warrant at least one more game but if he has to go then it's Gian Piero Gasperini for me.

What’s Eddie Howe doing?

I’m not being funny but if we ditched Smith for Howe I’d be fucking suicidal and borderline alcoholic. If we are getting rid of Smith we’ve got to think fucking big.

To an extent but even with injuries Buendia, AEG and JPB have been available and at a stretch Watkins out wide would be better than changing the formation when you're trying to settle new players in and get the squad used to playing without Grealish. Changing the shape only to have to change it again when everyone is fit was only ever gonig to make it more difficult for people, playing Buendia in centre mid seems to have ruined his confidence, I feel sorry for him because loads of people are questioning his value when he's barely been given a chance to play the role that earned him the move.

Another vote for Erik ten Hag. I mean, why wouldn't he want to leave high-flying Ajax to be moaned at by us?
