We will be 6th soon unless we massively change our approach to games. For weeks we have been playing like we hope to nick something from a game - I’m sure there’s much more to it in a tactical sense, but that’s basically it. Don’t try to go out and score early, or even in the first half at all and then hope we can keep it tight and get a late goal. It is pathetic - and part of the reason the atmosphere is bad at Villa Park at the moment is everyone can sense the trepidation.
It should be abundantly clear to all involved it is not going to work. We have to be more proactive and attack games. That might leave us exposed, but it might also give us a chance. The performances over the last few weeks have been soul crushingly bad and now the results are really starting to reflect that.
