Bingo
Chico
Giggles
Nello
Kristy
Harpo
Bongo
Bloopie
Jingles

Subs

Dopey
Grumpy
Bashful
Happy

Now that's a team "clowns and 7 dwarfs" that would do us proud show some passion and commitment and love pulling on the shirt because the current group are no where near this team.

16 Aug 2017 23:37:39
I think your teams great mate Steve Bruce would make Sleepy captin.

16 Aug 2017 16:32:25
If bruce walks what's everyones top 3 to replace him, mines giggs, sherwood, dwight yorke.

16 Aug 2017 16:40:28
Dean Smith
Sherwood
Laudrup
These are my 3 to pick from,

16 Aug 2017 17:02:31
So you would replace an experienced manager with inexperienced managers?

16 Aug 2017 17:40:30
Clarat53.
We have the most experienced manager in the championship and look at the mess. So why not go for someone with little experience in the championship? Can they do any worse?

16 Aug 2017 17:44:04
Jokanovic
Carvahal
Stam.

16 Aug 2017 18:30:56
Fergie
God
Jesus

In that order I think.

16 Aug 2017 18:40:31
My choices probably
a bit ambitious

Big sam, chris coleman, dean smith.

16 Aug 2017 22:00:24
Kim Jong
Donald Trump
And that Dragon queen from game of thrones!
I am sure any of them would make an impression on our big time Charlie's! They would be my top 3!

16 Aug 2017 16:27:02
Wtw i'd pick sherwood 1 claude puel 2 and giggs 3rd would love melberg and laursen legends also dwight yorke aswell.

16 Aug 2017 16:14:00
Love to see Chris Hughton manage us. Maybe if Brighton struggle come Christmas he can come in, save us from relegation, then get us promoted next season.

16 Aug 2017 16:44:04
Chris hughton would be a good shout done well everywhere he has been,
Think he is happy at brighton.

16 Aug 2017 16:50:48
Doctor quincy would be a good bet for manager,
Perhaps he can do a post mortem on the players to see if they are alive or not🤣.

16 Aug 2017 15:20:13
Seems the doctor has his short list to hand again, and its gone a bit quiet on the board members front, its like a repeat of last season again, i used to shake my head at the comings and goings at cardiff, we're now the news, hopefully they make the decision to keep him or not quickly, buy him his striker or put him out of our misery, back or sack, either way, he's doing his best, he deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect., that's the least we can do.

16 Aug 2017 14:15:16
I really liked Sherwood, he has passion and is generally a funny guy. I can see why the players got a bit of a bounce from him coming in. However, I don't think he is anymore tactically astute than SB, and seemed to be making the same mistakes. I remember being really worried about Villa in his last season (now justified) where we were having kinda similar results to what we have now.

Maybe he'd be better off in a coaching role, just to gee everyone up a bit?

As for the manager, I don't know if it will make any difference changing him. I get why people want SB out, but I just don't think it will help. It may be that we just click as a team at some point with it being so early on and go on a run. That's providing SB cheers up a bit, He already looks like he's been fired in his press conferences.

16 Aug 2017 15:43:58
Sherwood wasn't able to bring his own transfers in and had to rely on what Randy's pet provided and had to cope with the loss of Delph and benteke. Give him a proper chance with his own signings and giving out youth a chance. ✌🏻.

16 Aug 2017 16:18:47
Sherwood messed up against Leicester with his tactics, that's when it all went wrong, I'd hope he's learnt a lesson from that, No1 choice for me

UTV.

16 Aug 2017 16:29:42
Maybe if SB goes, an interim contact for Sherwood or Pearson until EoS could be a shout. If we get promoted give them an extension, if not get a new guy.

I wouldn't mind Aitor Karanka myself, he had trouble with the players in the PL, but had Boro playing some good stuff in the Championship!

16 Aug 2017 11:21:46
i know people are going to act like i'm a fool for asking this but why is everyone so desperate for sherwood back? as far as i remember he was the manager in charge when we got relegated and he hardly had a great win record. other than the fa cup run all i remember is the amount of abuse the bloke got for being "tactless tim"

now i understand that he had a shocking team at the time but i still don't see the thinking behind it.

16 Aug 2017 11:34:24
I totally agree. We need a progressive manager, someone with a bit of vision.

16 Aug 2017 12:02:30
Just a thought - Nigel Pearson?

16 Aug 2017 14:53:59
On the face of it tactically he was clueless, so long term we would end up in the same position. However he wasn't too proud to change things and give different things ago, he always went for it and set us up to be on the front foot and he is most likely to hit the ground running same as last time. If we were to sack Bruce and there wasn't a manager at the time who jumps out as the proper candidate then I'd get sherwood on a 3 month rolling contract whilst we source a full time man. His passion, energy and commitment would get results from the offset, it's when all those things become the norm to the players and he has to rely on tactics an such that's when he begins to fail.

16 Aug 2017 15:08:49
Gary monk would of done well had we gone for him.

16 Aug 2017 08:16:54
Bring back Sherwood. He was never given a fair crack of the whip when he was here, and he seems to be the only one that actually got the players to show a bit of passion. A lot of the players already know him, and know the way he likes to play, which could be an advantage than bringing in somebody completely new again. let's face it, we've had enough new faces in that have been a shambles! Give him another go I say, and I think he would definitely be up for it.

16 Aug 2017 08:32:35
Gutted over another groundhog day performance from the villa,
No style, no guts, no desire, nothing anywhere,
We are a truly terrible championship team in major decline,
We have spent millions on mostly garbage,
We have a manager who does not do tactics and does not have a clue how to stop the rot,
I like Bruce as a person very honest but now it's becoming clear to me he needs to go,
Seeing Hutton coming on with us 2 down shown me his tactics stink,
Where is o'hare who was looking like a good player but not even on bench?
I'm lost for words now!

16 Aug 2017 08:59:21
Hipeps. haven't posted for ages. just trying to look on abit of a positive side. (i know hard) but if we look at who we re played so far. hull (relegated from the prem) cardiff (looks like they are going to be up there this season) and reading playoffs last season) just we might be abit premature this season about bruce.

16 Aug 2017 09:11:55
wolves played 3 hard games, 9points, Hull away, playing great football, I can't stand wolves,

16 Aug 2017 10:05:58
Wolves have a manager who knows what formation to use and sticks to it,
His team has gelled up to now and do look champions at the moment,
They will hit a bad patch and we will see if they can overcome it
Most villa players do they really want to get to premiership?
I question the manager as I do the players,
Can not see where the goals are coming from and the defence looks more leaky now with Terry there,
We get done for pace at the back and we don't have loads of pace anywhere really,
Sherwood has been touted to come back and if i'm honest i have no problem with that,
At least the young players would get a real run
Bruce has brought in all these over aged experienced players in and I cannot see any more discipline in the side and leadership
Dark days ahead if we don't do some Think to stop this slide.
A very worried villa fan!

16 Aug 2017 11:18:44
Hogan Could be out for a decent time so all We have now is gabby as our main striker?
Bruce says rmk is not in his plans at all so it's all up to the kids to fight for a place with gabby!
What a state we are in no goals, can't defend, and gabby as our saviour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Players I don't want to see in starting line up on Saturday are;
Hutton
Gabby
Thor
Lansbury
Whelan
Players I want to see in team!
O'hare
Davis,
Lydon
We will more than likey lose again but at least these would show some bottle and desire, .
Tisbola should have been given more playing time but was loaned out,
Disgrace that Bruce left out o'hare when he praised him so highly but this is what pisses me of with Bruce,
God forbid we see Hutton in first 11 Saturday,

16 Aug 2017 17:46:24
AGREE.

16 Aug 2017 07:40:51
Something is so rotten at our club it's eating the very heart out of it what it is is anybodys guess. Can 5 managers be really that bad? Can Bruce turn into a bad manager overnight me personally I don't think so but something is fundamentally wrong. When Bruce bought these players we was all jumping for joy saying we was going to have a good season all be it 1 person disagreed is he right? My answer is a big fat NO he is wrong I don't know if anybody has watched on You tube Bad Santa Aston Villa watch it I beg you too then come back and tell me what you think I'll give you a bit of a inkling it involves Gabby Hutton and Richards watch it till the end and listen to what gabby says. Is he the root cause? On watching this video I say yes a big FAT yes is Richards to blame? I say a big fat YES is Hutton to blame? I say a big fat YES and the others in this video. Does player power come into affect I think so if players are not getting picked the dummy comes out of the pram it's the same in all walks of life if you try your hardest at work and someone else gets that promotion you wouldn't try your hardest anymore you would say sod that why should I just my view that is. I have been to many matches and played football my philosophy on the game is you need a spine in a team I personally believe we have it but for some reason it's not working please watch this video and see how gabby reacts to his present he receives I still believe we need stability in this club we haven't had it in 5 years I still believe Bruce is the right man it is so hard to get rid of these troublemakers when they are content on taking their hard earned money each week when no one wants them does that tell you a thousand stories? Sorry for this long post I'm rambling on a bit but for the good of our club and think about it logically would Terry and Whelen dropped down a division to come to us if they didn't think they could help us both incidentally had PL offers too. We all think we have the God given right to walk this league I thought we would too, on paper our team is IMO the best in the league but we need to stop thinking we are a massive club we are everybody's cup final in this league and by God it's brutal if the players are putting cracks in the club the fans are too (Rightly so we pay our money) We all need to be singing from the same hymn sheet because if not we have and will again fall by the wayside and end up like Forest and Leeds in the hell hole that is the Championship. I love my club I love the fans I love everything that is Aston Villa I love talking Aston Villa so for the sake of my club your club let's let these players know what we think don't boo them sing our hearts out and let them know that we will be here long after they have gone THE OVER PAID PRE MADDONAS.

when seeing the team sheet tonight, I couldent believe that O Hare was not even on the bench . The kids last couple of outings, have shown that he has ability, energy and wants the ball and always looks for a forward pass . Who did we have Gabby, from the reports iv seen of the Cardiff game, Gabby spent most of his time standing still . When you are in our position, you need players who graft . O Hare is one of the best prospects we have had for a long time, use his ability and enthusiasem. Used in the right way, O Hare could be the one to get Hogan fireing .
The first half tonight, at least sounded as it we had some kind of system. The worrying thing was our fitness, the commentators said we looked heavy legged again . I know it's only 3games, but surely our fitness should be better than appears . Ok so he missed out on a one on one, but Green still sounded, as if he had a good game . WTW will most likely have a go because I was listening on the radio and not there, but over the years iv done my bit HaHa . Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

16 Aug 2017 06:05:34
Couple of things Davedean82,brucey had O'Hare play for the u23's on monday night-shrewd move, and secondly of course gabby stands still alot, don't you remember from last season, the poor little lamb suffers from vertigo!
I just hope bruce (if he's still there), gives the youth more of a chance, otherwise their agents might get a bit too proactive, we might as well give them a fair crack, as the expression goes, if their good enough, their old enough, let's hope bruce mixes it up from now on., got to say though, i'm impressed with what stamm has done at reading, plays it on the deck, and puts a team together that can adapt, without having spent a kings ransom, wouldn't mind giving him the job, big time player, big time mentality, stamm worth a shout?
