Would love us to end the window with 2-3 more proven prem players
31 Aug 2015 21:45:44
its clear we all want a striker and maybe a cb. think the keeper might need changing but guzan i think can do the job as long as he stays focused and don't panic

It makes me laugh some people saying that our season is going to be no better that last. People have very short memories. This time last season we had 9 points, however we only had 3 shots in total with 3 goals. On the weekend we had 22 shots 9 on target in one game, also with 2 key attacking players out. For me it is early but we are definitely looking heaps better, with a lot more potential.

Even if we finish 17th again this season, I would rather watch Sherwood's team go out and compete every week than watch Lambert's team go out and get turned over every week never looking like we are in the game. With the amount of chances we are having, the goals will come eventually.

i can see peoples point when they say its no better, but i think they looking at it the wrong way, yes we still not beating the little team but what we are doing now is attacking and look like we can play again, its ok having 22 shot and 9 of which are on target but that stat much jack if the next stat you can give is we drew 2-2 with one of the worst teams in the league.
just remember gabbys shot vs palace was classed as a shot on target. we need to put them away

Having watched Ayew for Swansea against ManU yesterday afternoon, now I know how Prince Harry's girlfriends feel when they wake up and realise they got the wrong brother .

Considerable difference in the price. Did we think that we were buying the older brother?

A few weeks ago this site was full of optimistic Villa fans thrilled with the signings we'd made and life in claret and blue was good.
A few weeks on and reading a lot of these posts some fans have gone back to just moaning about everything. Even though I'm
a villa fan I've never known fans like it. I was at Villa park against Notts County and Sunderland and everytime a villa player lost the ball or missed a chance or got tackled calls fans would just get on their back straight away. Every season for a few years we've lost good players and moaned about their loyalty but where's ours? We are 4 games into the new premier league season. 4 games gone in the best league in the world. We practically have a new team of players that are finding their feet and trying to click. Some will click straight away and some will take time but at villa park you're given ONE game by some fans and if you're not Lionel Messi then you get moaned at. Why do we feel We have the God given right to beat every team. Currently we're above Chelsea on goal difference, above Spurs and only a win away from arsenal, Manchester Utd and Liverpool. We all want new players in but what's the point of when they come in we're straight on their acts as soon as they lose the ball? I remember going a few seasons ago and watching Marc albrighton play. Everytime he got the ball he was under so much pressure by our fans and he knew that if the pass or cross was bad he'd get moaned at and that pressure got the better of him. Now he's at Leicester where the fans get behind the team and look at him now. Turning in good performances. We have Ayew that has played just a couple of games in a new league and because he's not got any goals yet some fans are already on his back. What a lot of "SUPPORTERS" need to remember is we have a role to play too. Apparently we're the 12th man. Well I imagine the villa players don't feel that. I actually heard 2 people in front of me against Sunderland say that TS had to be sacked as we were as bad under him as Paul lambert.
I'm sorry for the rant. I appreciate that every fan that pays their money has a right to their view and I also appreciate that our players are paid a hell of a lot of money, and some of those wages are paid for by us, but if we back our players to the hilt. Win lose or draw and drive them on instead of constantly moaning we may see a difference on the pitch.
Let's get a new CB in and let's get behind the players. Let's drive them
up the league. I know we've had a tough time of lay but we're called supporters for a reason. And we used to be the best in the land, so let's get behind them, I thought that's what we went to Villa park for!

Best post ever on here, I feel ashamed of us when we boo our own team, & the toasters who leave early when we're a goal or 2 down when they probs needs us the most. If I knew you & saw you in The Holte, I'd buy you a pint mate 👍🏻
31 Aug 2015 10:38:14
must admit before the first game i was hoping it would be different, just beat bournemouth and looked good vs utd, but since then we have been poor, as we all can clearly see its goals that are the problem.

Great post mike
Well said
I end up arguing with villa fans every time I go which is only on average about 8 games a season as I'm from Lancashire I obv want us to win every game but I'm afraid in this league that ain't going to happen it's tough now an it's going to be tough for a long time it's even tough for the biggest of teams so as mike says let's get behind them!!!

Spoken like a true Villa fan ,all that you say is all to true .
The doom & gloom brigade start every season ,sometimes before we've even kicked a ball .the players they moaned & groaned about last season ,are replaced ,but still not good enough .They moan about RL , not spending ,when he does still not good enough .Randy realy cares about this club ,he could of sold us off to one of the asset strippers if he didn't .iv supported this club for over 50+ years & it's never been any different ,it's as you say players should be given the chance to settle in

Mike.
I have to say you are spot on mate, a very good post indeed.
My recent posts should prove I am with you all the way on this.
31 Aug 2015 12:05:21
Spot on Mike!
I totally agree with every word, and there a more of us out there then not!
Prob is these doom and gloom merchants wouldn't know what to do if everything clicked and hit the ground running!
I must fall out with at least 5 people every home game!!
Why pay to come, just to moan and then leave on 80 mins?.
31 Aug 2015 17:46:44
Spot on Mike. It was fair to moan about Lambert's team after 3 years
To do the same with whole new Sherwood team after 3-4 games is ridiculous. I actually beleive will see the best of this team next year
31 Aug 2015 19:58:14
I agree with you mike that we should be the 12th man and support the team. however, people saying that "the team needs time to gel" yeah I understand that but how long is that going to take??? let's say they haven't gelled by christmas, by then we could be bottom of the table which means we won't be able to attract any decent players with team morale being very low. all I want as a villa fan for this year is stability, I want to go into the later months knowing that my team won't be dragged into the relegation fight, I agree that some fans are being too downhearted already but they do need to start getting results and seeing out games. personally I think we should be on 8 points right now with a win against sunderland and then two draws against United & palace but our team couldn't cope and in a sense threw those points away. I know it's a project but you can tell if something is going to work early on(except Leicester last year) and I want the confidence that my team will be able to see out results.
thoughts???
