Unless we go into a tailspin, there is no chance Smith is fired, this season or next, so I recommend people just back the **** manager!

I'm serious. I like Tyrone a lot. Great guy and he has all the tools to be an elite CB. Just switches off his head too often and at the worst times. He'd be an excellent reserve CB for Villa. If we can upgrade in January whilst retaining his services,, it's an easy decision, IMO.

We need to revert back to 4-2-3-1, which means Ollie needs to be dropped, sadly, with Ings in better form. Tough break for Ollie, the Ings signing. His confidence has taken a knock because of it, IMO. He didn't do anything to deserve this struggle he is now in. Not sure how you keep playing both when they clearly don't click.

We need to upgrade on Mings, preferably in January.

The Villa Facebook page is embarrassing right now.

Was hoping he came on and not Ramsey.

This is the top point of order for the team right now. Sadly, Watkins has to be dropped because Ings is in better form. Really tough break for Ollie with Ings being signed. I think it's affected his confidence and now it might just force him out of the starting job. He didn't deserve this.

When he took that corner as the whole ground sang his name was epic.

If Tuanzebe played well today, I'd have suggested that Mings be dropped next week. What the ****.

He will probably view this as his worst loss as Villa boss. He won't sleep tonight. I really hope he uses this as a pivot point to motivate himself, the staff and the players to never let this happen again.

Ha, just posted something almost verbatim.

I have no problem with the subs he made today. My problem is the sticking with 3-5-2 again after Spurs. Watkins and Ings up top doesn't click. My other concern is that if the mentality and focus of the team is weak, the manager needs to fix it. So while I support Dean 100%, he has to show some nous now. The crucible will only get hotter.

Looking at the positives: McGinn is in top form Buendia looked better Wingbacks played well Luiz looked good Ings steady as ever Konsa and Martinez fine. Looking likecSanson may finally have a path to regular playing time. Bailey and Traore back soon. It's only October. Time to rally around the players and manager and not level them with abuse.

It all felt very familiar. Terrible feeling that I thought we'd banished from the collective Villa psyche.

Weak mentality to this Villa side. 2-0 lead at home in the second half and they crumble. Unforgivable. The center of defense is a problem besides Konsa. I think subbing Luiz after his flight was perfectly fine. Can't blame Smith for that. Can't blame him for the Cash sub, cuz he was injured. Buendia still not ready to complete 90 minutes, so I was ok with Ramsey there. This was less to do with Dean and more to do with the players losing their nerve and concentration, and Wolves not giving up. Bitter loss but let's not tar and feather the manager for it.

No words.

It's because he's gone from the main guy to something less, which was the risk they took by signing Ings.

Gotta find a way to get Watkins more involved. Solid first half. Need to make the chances count now

I'm really amped up for this one. LETS GO VILLA

They seem to have lost whatever cutting edge they had when they first came back up. We should pummel them.

Northern Italy works, too. I could track down my ancestral village.

I think you're going to win.

Whenever I daydream of winning the lottery, I usually think first about who I'd surprise with a new car or house. I think I'd have a lot of fun giving some if it away, to loved ones and then good causes and organizations. Id start my own foundation, too. But for myself, I'd buy: A coastal Maine summer cottage A sailboat and learn how to sail A small chalet in Switzerland with a wine cellar A small beach house in the Caribbean An antique sports car A Tesla A few bespoke suits An entire new wardrobe, actually. I'm a ragamuffin. Get my teeth fixed Buy a percentage of AVFC Travel the world

Yep. If he's fit to play, he needs to start logging minutes to gain sharpness.

Binging Succession. 3 episodes left in S2. It's silly but a fun watch. Some snappy dialogue. The Tom character is ultra cringe.
