Forest 1 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Dirge Thread.

[Drummond]

How much longer do we have to put up with this shit? Honestly it's fucking dreadful. He got rid of his wingers (and whilst there may have been some quality issues there, they did score goals and made the game more interesting) and then goes through the shite defensive crap that Bruce gave us, hoping for players to do it for him, and Lambertesque throwing on three strikers.

[ROBBO]

Commentator summed it up, with all their talent on hand Villa should be doing far better than this. Why bring ings on AGAIN? thought we were toothless up front, no genuine winger to be seen no quality midfielder either.
I really don't see the point of keeping Gerrard apart from he's a known name in the sport.
If the crowd has turned I wonder how long.

“Aston Villa are undefeated in their last four games, their best league run since going five without losing in December 2020.” - if anything ever tells that stats can be meaningless.

So why repeat it?

Because we are all having a chat?

[Toronto Villa]

See I won’t have him compared to TSM2. As much it all ended like a nuclear explosion we had legitimately superb performances for a brief period under him. There has maybe been 1 or 2 really good displays with SG. It’s genuinely been that bad.

[Somniloquism]

Smith going was the right choice. I view it like a rocket being fired into space - at every stage you get rid of the engines you don't need any more. Unfortunately Gerrard isn't an engine, more a catastrophic bulkhead design.

Loose gasket on the fuel pipes?

[Axl Rose]

Have not long woken up, and thankfully missed the whole thing.

Can't remember the last time I watched a full 90 minutes. Possibly the 2-1 win against Chelsea in May 2021.

The football since then has been more often than not, disappointing, crap signings, alot of pathetic management and tactics.

[Clampy]

I thought it was ok until we got to in or around the box and then we didnt have a clue. Their keeper did'nt make a save I don't think. His interview after the game came across to me anyway as a man who knows he might be on his way out.

[itmustbe_it is!]

Confirmed away fans calling for Gerrard out.....that's usually the end

Probably just after he came in with new manager bounce, and the couple of matches after he signed Coutinho on loan, but hadn't had chance to "coach" him yet.

[Paul.S]

The owners have not shown they are not interested. The plan was to spend and then become self sufficient bringing through the youngsters from an academy they’v chucked millions at. We’ve gone out and got the likes of Coutinho, Buendia, Kamara, Carlos, Ings and Digne. None are bad players and we should’ve improved but we’ve gone backwards. We still have a weak central midfield but unbelievable we can’t score. That for me is a coaching issue.
The owners will rightly ask what’s going on as well and I’d expect them to act swiftly over the next few days.

[maidstonevillain]

I made a to do list for our owners.

1: Sack useless scouse chancer.
2: Sack useless chief executive.
3: Hire Pochettino.

Agree agree agree

Agree.   Purslow has made one bad decision. I think he has credit in the bank.    Agree.

"We have tried to change our system a bit to be a bit more bold. We finished with a really bold team out there to try and find that bit of magic and quality."

Throwing on loads of strikers, and then hoofing it is bold apparently, not panic.

[aj2k77]

The Grealish money has been spunked down the drain. Buendia, Bailey and his Dad and Ings are abysmal business. Put it together with we've basically got no one from this summers window in the team and you can see why we are worse than we were 2 seasons ago. With a worse manager. We're chucking money at dead wood like Dendoncker and Bednarek because our summers work was poor and we had to panic at the end of it. All in all the last 2 years have seen numerous poor decisions. We still have the long haired guy robbing us. We're still taking unproven managers and offering them a fortune. What is the point of a 60,000 seater to watch a team with a midfield that cost a pittance led by a manager who's only managed in non league football.

The decisions have been shite and we're too slow to react as per usual. Football wise, we are one of the 3 worst watches in the division.

[CT Villan]

We should hold a minute's silence for Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa before the start of our next game...maybe wear black armbands.

Utter garbage (again) and he needs to go ASAP. Pay whatever it takes to get Poch in.

[murgsy]

Dreadful. Mid-table championship levels.  We will be involved in a 5 team relegation battle probably...unless SG goes
