  1. If the players back Smith and the problem is Shakespeare, for example, then sack Shakespeare. Hopefully they will identify whatever is at the root of our malaise.
  2. Ings has disrupted Watkins and fitting both in the starting 11 has disrupted everything else. If we signed a DM instead of Ings, we'd be in a better position. Also, injuries, covid and international duty hasn't helped team cohesion either.
  3. I really like Dean and still back him. But if we actually lose six straight games, I'd reluctantly support dropping the axe. Not many managers survive 6 straight losses. And we aren't losing these through bad luck and despite good play. We look awful, completely rudderless. Player dissent is troubling. The manager needs to tighten up the ship when it springs a leak. But the SS Villa is leaking more every week. Two more losses against beatable teams will see us staring into an abyss.
  4. It's so hard to find good players in January, but if we can, we should sign a quality DM.
  5. I was jealous watching Soucek. Wish we could field a player of his physical attributes in midfield.
  6. I've been a Villa fan since 1994. The best managers we've had in this time are all English.
  7. Good post. Owners should have pushed harder for a fourth big name, a DMF. Or if unwilling to spend beyond the Grealish fee, spent the Ings money on a DMF. Or Alvarez + DMF. Still, its incumbent upon Smith to motivate whoever is playing in the shirt, and they look unmotivated lately.
  8. I'm standing behind a guy at the grocery store who has an American flag t shirt that says "Stomp on my flag and I'll stomp your ass!"
  9. We look helter skelter out there lately. No shape, no impetus, no fluidity, no purpose, no identity. Front to back, it is a big problem.
  10. The last 15 minutes vs Wolves has changed everything. Devastating.
  11. I think Dean has banked a lot of good will with the owners. I think they'll retain him for now, and even if we lose next game. But if they haven't prepared a new manager list already, they will be now.
  12. Hard not to feel pessimistic now. We are almost in the drop zone and the wheels seem like they are popping off. Something is wrong behind the scenes and perhaps has been for some time. I really want Smith to stay and turn this around but it's looking like a big ask. The players look like they've quit on him.
  13. A punch up which landed Tyrone on the bench and Sanson "out sick". Could be bullshit, but it kind of seems totally plausible.
  14. Full blown crisis at the Villa. I still back Smith but would understand if he's given the sack. The Mings-Sanson rumor is worrying. There's a discipline breakdown evident on the pitch and perhaps off it. West Ham were fortunate but still the better side. We looked like a Championship side today. If we lose next game, Smith will lose his job. A rot appears to be setting in and I'm not sure he knows how to stop it.
  15. The team isn't playing terribly. Booing them at halftime is pathetic.
  16. Anyone experienced neck pain after the Moderna jab?
  17. It should have read "no higher than 10th"
  18. Is the consensus that Bailey won't play?
  19. I'm actually worried about myself because that post makes absolutely no sense
  20. A win gets us both higher than 10th.
