I don't think he did any while manager so it's a bit unknown.

If we're winning with 10 to go and Grealish is tiring, I'm happy to see Young Joe Cole come on and use his experience to close things down. If we're a goal down I'd like to see Gil come on as I think he's more likely to spark something. I don't want to see Weimann come on at all. When we're safe / going into next season I'd really hope that Gil will get a bit more game time, but as things stand can't fault Tim's selections.

Completely in our own hands now - no excuses. Minimum of a draw this weekend, and with Leicester - Newcastle the early kick off which shouldn't do Leicester any favours hope Newcastle can sneak a win.

Chelsea haven't looked great with their recent performances, and while I hope they'll sneak another 0-1 win, I can easily see Leicester getting a point. Sunderland are worse than us and have a more difficult run-in, but on paper at least have a game and potential 3pts in hand. Having only them as a buffer between us and the drop is going to be really uncomfortable. Having to get something out of the Burnley game will be a nightmare. We need another positive weekend, with results falling in our favour, though I don't see it this weekend. We're playing well and scoring goals but every game i fear the bubble bursting / more injuries / another red card - every time it looks as though we might get clear this season, we have been pulled back into it. I am still flipping between confident and nervous every day.

Hi there, Been lurking for a while and thought it would be time to put my head above the parapet. I'm south London based but grew up in the Midlands. Had a season ticket for a few seasons in the mid-late 90's, till family commitments meant I wasn't getting up enough to justify it any longer. Still try and get up to the odd game - particularly to bring the kids (who've never seen Villa lose live - should probably take them more often). Have been struggling to keep them on the Claret & Blue path the last couple of seasons with most of their mates being Chelsea, but they're just about hanging in there. Was really not a fan of Sherwood, but grudgingly coming round - can't deny he's getting the results so far and enjoying his comments about the Baggies. Still don't think he's here for the long term, but if he keeps us up that'll do me. So, yeah - Hi.
