Forest 1 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Dirge Thread.

[Bad English]

Total wank. Gerrard out!

[villa for life]

He has to go now. It’s been terrible for so long. Not beating a ten man Leeds should have been the final straw. Surely , drawing to a team that anyone and everyone smashes should be. Go get Poch. Now.

[Allan C]

Once again, a game where we never looked like losing but have shown absolutely nothing in the final third. They put every player behind the ball and we were clueless trying to find away through that. Gerrard will be lucky to survive this but there’s a real lack of genuine quality on the pitch which any manager will need to put right

[Damo70]

Roy Keane said we lacked bottle. I disagree, I thought it was quality we lacked.

Seems like the away fans have turned and that's usually the final straw. Club Statement in the morning.

[Paul.S]

Without getting over emotional, it’s time yet again to start looking for a new manager.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Poor throughout except for the wonder strike.
2 of our manager's buddies (Phil and McGinn) were invisible throughout the time they were on the pitch.
We have no speed of thought or movement and no plan in the final third.
We were equally as poor as the poorest team in the league.
Purslow can't defend that! The future is dirge unless a change is made.

Not normally one for conspiracy theories but I thought there was something almost deliberate in the way the players approached this game. Maybe it’s just poor morale borne out of inadequate coaching but I get the distinct impression they’ll be really glad when he’s gone.
We’re with you lads!

On a positive note, McGinn's diving header was pretty funny.

[frank black]

McGinn, needs to not be captain and Gerrard not manager

Roy Keane said we lacked bottle. I disagree, I thought it was quality we lacked.

We have quality in abundance but the way we play negates it, strangles the players ability, forces everything down the middle and down the drain. We picked up the pace slightly at the restart but then fell back into the moribund, predictable and unimaginative style so beloved by this Manager.

Roy Keane said of their goal" Villa players made no effort to stop him getting his header in"

[Damo70]

Gerrard interview coming up on SKY after the break.

[Aldridge Villa]

Haven’t been this disappointed with the Villa since 8 days ago.

[Ian.]

This season has been so poor in quality and every match I just hope something clicks into place and a formula is found. Then the match passes and it’s the same slow placed one dimension side void of ideas and confidence.

That was a relegation scrap with two poor teams fighting it out. They sacked Smith for this sort of form so surely he’s gone tomorrow?
