Really worried for season 7 games 1 win it's like the last few seasons all over again I really like sherwood but some of his decisions have cost us he keeps changing team too much and relying on old guard who just ain't cutting it like Westwood bacuna and gabby all decent but not prem league play the new lads in their positions grellish needs time as he goes missing far too much

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Oct 2015 11:54:58
personally out the three you name i think the only one that's not expendable is bacuna. only other option there is hutton and i don't rate him. but as we are both going to get slated for not liking hutton or westwood get ready

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2015 16:42:06
Not wishing to dissappoint you Strikes. But I agree, all 3 are average at best
Gabby being particularly awful
All need long-term replacement. In terms of Westwood I am hoping that will be Veretout. He's had a dissappointing start but he's slowly getting better

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2015 09:58:32
I think these players are good enough for a top half finish an the gaps need filling in

New keeper

Richards
Okore
New centre back
Amavi

Westwood
Gueye

Sinclair
Grealish
Traore

New forward

Bench
Bunn
Clark
Sanchez
Veretout
Ayew
Gestede
Kozak

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2015 16:40:11
Traore?? Ony if he can be arsed to get off the physios couch. He wants out!

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Sep 2015 13:07:24
i think i may have found out the secret to sherwoods reasoning behind the ayew transfer. foot manager 15!!! 13 games and he's scored 10 goals for me. well lad hope you can start this soon for real hahaha

Was debating to post this or not, I'm struggling to understand all the in's out's week in week out in first 11, bacuna dropped for Hutton like every other game there both s***, drop both. move Richards to RB just till Jan transfer window and get a decent RB, lescot brought in for Clark after lescot shocking first half tue, why?? Sanchez for veretout maybe understand that a bit as bit of steel in midfield for Liverpool, but why the hell did ayew after his second half display tue contributed to change and dominance does he find himself warming the bench at Liverpool why ?? TS get a grip and give these guys few games not 1 then change then change and again change how will the gel together and learn each other, i know not everyone will agree with me but it's starting to get annoying and whatever TS trying to do we're losing either way

I think by now Villa 1980, we are all perfectly aware of your opinion about Sherwood. You've made it clear; we'll all remember and you can say "I told you say when it's proved you are right.
But for now, even if it's only a day or 2, could you please change the record ?

Sherwood is useless time to go now not good enough to be prem manager villa r going down anyone says differently need shooting we r clueless why doesn't tim shereood mix it up like last year to get the best out of rudi just like he did with big ben we need big sam or redknapp in fast else it will be to late i'm sick of hearing we r a young team an players need to gel rubbish watford have signed 14 players it just takes a good manager to get the best out of players I've said it b4 we have been lucky not to go down this could be our year if we r not careful sherwood out now weakest link goodbye

28 Sep 2015 17:31:57
villa1980, if Tim Sherwood gets sacked soon, then I'd like to see Harry Redknapp as the new manager of Aston Villa.

A big no to Sam Allardyce, he is poor.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Sep 2015 16:15:51
And Harry Redknapp isn't poor? Won one trophy in his career? Quit QPR when going got tough. A crook and a notorious liar, he also leaves most of his clubs in financial ruin, just protected because he's a media darling.
Also made his dislike towards Villa well known and it is reciprocated, 50p incident should be your reminder.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Sep 2015 23:17:43 So here we are with 1pt from 6 games (timmy keeps saying it's a work in progress) games don't be long about mounting up in this league I said during the week that this was going to be a big week we needed to get something today. We really needed a prolific striker in the last window I just think we baught in to many new players ie lescoot the Spanish fella (can't think of his name) Lambert used to keep saying we are a young side it's going to take time and timmy is saying the same at the moment we are in the bottom 3 I can't see where our next win is going to come from. My questions 1) Are we better than last year? 2) Have we better squad than last year? 3) Have we a better manager than last year?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

27 Sep 2015 10:46:47
Answers: YES, YES, & YES.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Sep 2015 15:50:41
Answer
1) not on what we see every week.

2) no evidence

3) not a chance.

The common factor to all our woes lies with one person who has been present throughout O'Neil to Sherwood and we are still falling further down.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Sep 2015 16:17:32
This could be either Randy Lerner or Gabby.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Sep 2015 19:51:44
Before I start I still think we will pull this around, TS has had people missing every game so far .Lets get everybody fit & injury free & then I think we will see a differance .Back to today, TS if we back off people & let them play, like we did today it's asking for trouble .We should have been in their faces, closing them down .people have been saying Traore should have played, the kid has had a protective boot on & only started training a couple of days ago .As I started by saying let TS get them all fit & then see what what happens, Villa for ever

Believable1 Unbelievable0

26 Sep 2015 20:12:29
once all fit i think that midfield needs looking at. gana veretout in the cm sinclair grealish and traore running at the defence and gestede up top i think we can get a few decent chances. defence other thnan clark or okore in for lescott i think that's pretty much our best team

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Sep 2015 21:37:37
Guzan/bunn
Baccuna/hutton
richards/okere
clarke/lescott
amavi/richardson
westwood/sanchez
veretout/gardner
gana/?
Traore/gil
ayew/agbonlahor
grealish/sinclair
gestede/kozac

I would of continued with ayew today along side rudy and grealish ,either play sanchez or westwood, veretout needs to be in the team and clark needs to patner richards come on tim be brave !

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Sep 2015 18:42:49
For the last 3-4 seasons villa fans have posted on this site that we have stayed up because there have been other teams that are worse than us, could somebody please tell me who will be able to save us this season.

Sunderland Newcastle Bournemouth

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Sep 2015 17:32:29
so far all I've read is the reports and by sounds of it i think what's clear to most is lescotts past it, traore and veretout need to sort fitness and get on the pitch from kick off and that we really need to a get a attacking coach in to teach these lads how to hit the target

Believable1 Unbelievable0

26 Sep 2015 16:27:47
Another brilliant show [NOT] against a struggling liverpool side. if the people on this site belive we will stay up this season i am sorry but you are all sadly mistaken.

You explain to me how i can be positive 7 games in 1 lucky win, you are delusion if you think staying positive will make it better. even sherwood is having doubts.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Sep 2015 22:12:46
Flakie, spoken like the a true Villan. I just can't understand what people expect, we can already see players starting to fit in. Look at Rudy last night, scored that goal & was a compleatly different player. As Flackie says TS & the players deserve time, and as true supporters we should give it them .After 50+ years of supporting, l honestly think the fans today are more are more impatient than ever keep the faith

Believable3 Unbelievable1

23 Sep 2015 20:08:22
I have stayed away from these pages for a few weeks, as to be honest, I find the inability of some to engage brain so frustrating, to be calling for the managers head, after 6 games, is beyond me.
I don't think for one second that mr sherwood is tearing up trees, or setting the world alight, but. For over 4 years our club has been on free fall, nothing worse than last season, he came, steadied the ship, changed the whole ethos of the entire club, got us to Wembley, and kept our top flight status.
All this with very average players.
He came to us, when many wouldn't touch us with a barge pole, putting his own neck on the line, as his first proper job.
For these facts alone, we owe him time.
Then, he acknowledged the obvious elephant in the room that the playing staff needed a total shake up, and brings in 12 new signings, on top of that, his captain stabs him in the back, and his talisman striker leaves.
Now us as fans should be behind him, supporting him, and these new signings, helping to mould them to create a new team and force.
Do we??? Mostly yes.
However, to boo?? How will that motivate, to come on here saying sherwood out, he's out his depth, and I heard yesterday, destroying our club(!!) is an insult.

Yes we need to improve, yes results need to start to come, and yes points make prizes. But we should do this together, we deserve better, but so does Tim sherwood, and his players.


Also. I'm not, as most of us know, not gabbys biggest fan, but. Was not his fault that first half, he was the only player actually trying in that first 45. Commander worf was outrageous. Also gabby against the baggies was the only shining light. Give him a break!!

Believable2 Unbelievable1

23 Sep 2015 21:50:10
Well said Flackie I agree with everything except the part about Gabby, Anyone can try hard but his quality is lacking.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Sep 2015 22:18:11
Totally agree Flackie. Well, nearly totally. I really think now we have to think beyond Gabby. He's just not presenting a goal threat

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Sep 2015 22:20:10
Hi Flackie.
I agree with everything you have said mate, except for the last bit.
Yes I would give Gabby a break, on the bench for a few weeks mate, he is a spent force in a Villa shirt.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Sep 2015 23:33:53
I do agree that gabby is a spent force, and should be dropped, but he was our best player vs west Brom, in my opinion!!
And people blaming him for the first halve against them, just isn't fair! Julian was the weak link for me!

But all that is a side line!! This negativity towards everything villa is infectious. And I detest it.
Also the lack of patience in 'fans' is laughable.
Villa park USED to be a fortress, but now we boo our own players!! I bet our own players don't want to try anything, as if it doesn't work we come down on them more than the opposition!

To boo them off at half time against that lot was a disgrace.
Yes it was a poor showing, no we didn't score, yes it was scrappy. Losing? No. out the game? No. Demoralise our own players? Yes. Play in to Brums hands? Yes!
A perm side would of destroyed us second half, as we were already beaten!

But hey ho!
We won't win anything when we don't stand together

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Sep 2015 12:25:00
Correct Flackie. Perhaps we need to temporarily change the signage from 'Holte End – The 12th Man' to 'Holte End – 13,472 Whinging Men', although I know it’s not everybody.

The signs of improvement, though not everywhere, were evident against BCFC on Tuesday and we weren’t playing a team of Muppets (that's just the supporters) , they’re actually only 10 places below us. Perhaps those already clamouring for a replacement manager will rapidly fall silent once McClaren comes on the market shortly – as he surely will.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Sep 2015 17:51:54
Hope we win tonight i need cheering up nothing better than beating our nearest pile. every player has to up his game for this one, like Saturday this is the one that counts to the fans bragging rights. i couldn't take losing to them. i detest the zulus.

sherwood's team talk should be easy he doesn't have to say much because the players should know how much this one means to the fans. i forgive tim sherwood about other losses but not this one if we lose.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

21 Sep 2015 19:21:02
Another point i'm not slagging manager off instead of all them signings we made why don't we play kinsella suliman calder green sellars hepburn and gardner all home grown an have bright futures .id rather we loose trying with players that want to play for r club wots the point in having a youth team if we don't play them

Believable0 Unbelievable2

21 Sep 2015 21:00:01
Sherwood took over last year when we were certain of going down, despite the presence of Benteke and Deph. Despite not being able to buy a single player, Sherwood kept us up.

We've lost our best 2 players, had a massive clear out of players, an influx of new players and are 6 games into the new season. The results have been poor and the form has been mixed. To be fair I think we've deserved a few more points than we've got. But, that's football.

No doubt we'll get a few points that we don't deserve before the season is done
I don't know how good, bad or indifferent a manager Sherwood is likely to become. He has certainly made some mistakes this season; he's also made some bloody good signings (and 1 or 2 rank ones)

The point is, what he did last season should buy him a little patience from us and less of the hysterical reactions we have seen on here
Some of us are starting to sound like Newcastle fans

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Sep 2015 07:22:22

Amavi an gueye look good additions as do traore rich an lescott
Gestede is what I expected an it early days for veretout and ayew
Bet you soon change ya mind after a few wins
Fickle!

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Sep 2015 11:39:41
ayew i thought first game looked ok made good runs won few freekicks and looked ok but since then looked very poor

richards i'm always saying at minute on not 100 per cent on yet, still makes some silly mistakes and veretout not really kicked in yet (might be able to blame baby for that) but the rest i can see being a decent team if we can just start winning games now,

gestede i can see being another carew. he's not going to score 20 goals a season might get you 10 and 10 assists

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Sep 2015 10:49:15
Well I'm starting to panic a bit now even though so early in the season.glady renewed my season ticket full of hope but after watching the games this season we are just as poor as we was under lambert. Sherwoods tactics are very poor and we keep hearing that word gel and time. But forgive me if I'm wrong but don't the players have to actually play to gel!!!!!. Defencely we look strong midfield is woeful and attack is looking goalless. Gestede needs crosses but service not there. Gill and grealish can't play in the same team two much of the same player. Come on Tim 36,000 can c it y not u . Tuesday becomes massive came now defeat could start the Tim out roadshow.

So disappointed with the performance! We were 2nd to the ball whenever it broke free which was often. We so lacked any creativity and were so predictable. Too much sideways passing in front of the WBA wall!! Gil really disappointed as far from terrorised their defence! We were fortunate was just one! TS needs to sort this out before Xmas or we will be in serious trouble! Forget it was the Albion it's the nil points again that scares me! UTV

Believable0 Unbelievable0

20 Sep 2015 00:30:08
Must say, worst performance of the sason. At least the other games we threatened. Gabby needs to go and we need to at least try Kozak. Also really missing Gana. But biggest problem for me at the moment is a good striker. Was always my biggest concern after transfer shut.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

19 Sep 2015 23:07:37
after the WBA game, sherwood quotes himself in the third person saying he is best when he is backed into a corner. saw many villa fans on social media replying to that in a joking sense and calling him a "lad" and all that. but I'm sorry, this is awful. yes it is a work in process but we have thrown away so many points already and have such a hard run in for the next two months. don't wanna sound crazy but if we lose to blues and have lost 3 derbies in 14 days then the pressure is on sherwood. don't care if the bloke is a "lad" and funny but if he stays and it results in my beloved club getting relegated at the end of the season will the fans still want this "lad" manager in charge?????
thoughts????

Believable1 Unbelievable1

19 Sep 2015 21:12:41
I am not sure if it`s me or what, but it looks to me that Sanches and Westwood are too much alike and should not be in the same team, my replacements for those two would have to be Gueye and Veratout.
I also don`t think Richards is a centre back, I would put him a RB and bring Clarke back.
Gestede will be rendered useless if we don't get a decent striker to play of his shoulder, so for that reason I would play Kozak up front with Sinclair, Gestede is not ready yet.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

19 Sep 2015 18:43:05

After the Notts County game I got shouted down on here 'cos I delivered some home truths. Well here we are almost 1 month on and.
1 draw (at home)against the worst team in the the league.
A two goal lead given away in less than 20 minutes and we lose 3 - 2.
Now we find ourselves behind to the baggies with little sign of us scoring. Not a single save by their keeper in 45 minutes.
We are in trouble people. Sherwood was the man to turn us round at the end of last season but that was with Benteke and Delph in the team. He wouldn't pick Gil 'cos "he wasn't up for the fight"
Well guess what? We're in a fight now and he'd better be up for it now 'cos there ain't anyone else.
Never mind it's Blues up next. Jeez!!!!

Our clear problem is the lack of any real quality upfront
Sherwood's pursuit of Adebeyor was as foolish as it was fruitless. He should have gone for an alternative the minute that the "legend in his own head" began to prevaricate
If we can stay in touch with the rest of the table until Januuary and then get a decent couple of forwards in (Embolo and Austin ) we could still have a decent season
However, if we think that Gabby upfront is the answer; I'm confused as to what the question is

Agree2 Disagree1

19 Sep 2015 12:45:24

Won't you look a coupleat Doughnut Villa1980 ,if TS comes anywhere near doing what he wants Villa to be . At least give the bloke a chance . I mean 5 games & your saying he stands more chance of taking us down .Let the lads gel ,they will sort it out .But please we have got to give them time .Some of you lot would have cutting your wrists ,if you had been down to the 3rd & back again like some of us .
Once again just grit your teeth & give the lads your support

other than that i think we would have been fine

Haven't been on the site for a few days. To my suprise (sarcastically) after logging on, the calls for Sherwoods head have already started.

How on earth can it be said that we are in the same position as last season?

Don't get me wrong we have our faults at this point, some questionable tactics, striker needed and a RB, to name a few, but for heaven sake we are 5 games into the season?

We have 2 lightning fast, very good wingers, 2 amazing number 10's, descent holding midfielders and a much better, overhauld defense. Last season Dec we had only scored 12 goals! For me it is only a matter of time before we gel and come good. Our squad is young and way more talented than the youth PL invested in, with much better 'sell on' potential. Tactics must be looked at, but I don't think TS is stupid and will learn going forward.

So heaven sake get behind the manager, and your team and have some respect for yourselves until we can assess our position come January.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

17 Sep 2015 05:00:27
I agree. With the exception of striker, we are better or at least as good in every position as last season. If TS can bag one or two more in January then we will have a real quality side with decent strength and depth.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Sep 2015 11:25:34
i must say i'm not happy with the way its going but i still trust sherwood. we need the striker situation sorted first of all and we might be going some where. still not sold on richards sanchez or ayew but i think they will get there in the end.

and as much as I've defended guzan over the last few seasons i think we need to start looking elsewhere. the errors just keep adding up and they are starting to cost us as a team

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Sep 2015 14:43:45
I'm with you on Ayew and Sanchez but Richards is a massive upgrade on Vlaar according to his stats. Gestede is more of a one dimensional weapon at certain times and may not have been the best buy.

That been said I'm impressed with Sherwood's transfers over all and it is just a matter of using our numerous different options tactically in the best way (And we do have many options for different scenarios) so it is going to take a while to get right tactically. It is also going to take some time for a complete team overhaul to gel.

Talent-wise I can see this team definitely breaking into the top 10 and from a commercial perspective it has given us a much better platform to bring the club back to fruition over the next few seasons and a much better looking prospect for a buyer.

Don't forget last season all our value was in 2 players, being Benteke and Delph (Very risky if one gets injured, to sell). We now have spread the money over more players with a lot of potential future value.

16 Sep 2015 18:48:39
First off I'm not a villa fan but I am Irish and I'm sure you're all aware of the supposed international "tug-of-war" over Jack Grealish. I was just curious to see how highly you guys rate Grealish as I don't get to see him every week and wether or not he could develop into an England regular if that's the route he chooses and just how good could he be in general? Cheers guys

Believable0 Unbelievable0

16 Sep 2015 20:14:30
Personally I think grealish has bags of potential an I feel he is going to be top draw if nurtured in the right way. However I could see someone like city coming in an making his career stall. If he stayed wit villa an played regularly I think he can be anything he wants to be. Gascoigne Merson real top no.10
For me as good as Ross Barkley any day

3. The feeling walking home after games like last year’s

As a few have mentioned, criticising Sherwood so early in the season is premature
That said, one area that has irked me is his continued pursuit of Adebeyor.
The bloke messed us about in the summer when he could have signed.
I'm sure Sherwood would have moved on had Adebeyor made his position clear earlier. But no, he lead us up the garden path leaving us woefully short up front.
Don't make the same mistake again Tim; the bloke is not to be trusted
Take the time between now and the e/o December to get a young striker with pace lined up to sign the first week in January

My sentiments exactly Mendax, give up on him, for me he would be a huge liability we can well do without.
Afobe, Embolo, there are several out there that would fit the bill, we do need someone for sure, we also need to be sitting comfortable in the table to attract the type of player we need.

I think When we were 2 - 0 up on 63 minutes, the only thing that maybe needed changing was to take Gabby of and bring on Veratout into midfield, we needed to stop them playing and it would have given Bacuna some support who was well below par today.
I do think Timmy boy got it wrong today with his subs and timing, but we all have to learn.
After the first 5 - 10 minutes we were not bad today and looked very capable of taking the 3 points, it all went bad after our second goal, we must learn to stop the opposition and shut up shop.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

14 Sep 2015 13:23:46

Numerous posters have commented on the lack of providing us with an out and out goal machine.
Should Sherwood have saved a bit on his dealings to enable him to buy Austin etc?
He would have known the parameters of Lerners funding so was aware that any real extra money was not going to be on the table.
Saying that perhaps Gestede will rise to the challenge and get on the end of the many chances that now seem to be available or will Kodak get his chance?
Looking towards January window. Some funds will be there as is the norm plus some more players going out and this would provide money to reinvest IF we are not bagging the ball.

With all the defensive options we have now I can actually see us going to 3 at the back with wingbacks. I think this window has been great in terms of giving us options and strength in depth. I'm slightly concerned we didn't get another striker but we should now have a midfield capable of scoring goals, width to help gestede and Sinclair in a rich vein of form so maybe not all bad

I know some will jump up and say "old news" but if Lerner will not open his purse we will always be lacking the ambition of a top 6club. What we want is of no concern to Lerner.
Sherwood got the transfer money self funded from sales plus the amount that PL got every season, £5m,
.
That is not the action of an ambitious owner.
Sherwood has bought in a lot of players and will no doubt get some success. The defence will be much stronger with Richards in there, Lescott, Ilori, Okore and Clark able to do a job when required. Hutton, Mvani, Cresspo, Bacuna all add to what looks like a capable unit.
If only Sherwod could have got a poacher I believe we could have been really looking towards the top third in the prem.

What about Traore? I'd play Sinclair in a more central role, so maybe a 4-4-2??

I still have concerns about Sanchez. Yes, he is good at breaking up play ad winning the ball but he isn't the best at using it once he has won it. Sometimes, his passing is awful and he gives the ball away in dangerous positions.

Admittedly, these were my observation from last year. I haven't seen him as yet this year having been away on holiday.

I am hoping that maybe the new guy from Liverpool could develop into a defensive midfielder. Reports suggest that he is a ball-winning centre back so should be able to adapt. Thoughts?

Still think we needed a striker sherwood obviously couldn't get one through, however berbatov could still happen as he is a free agent

Still no takers for Austin with 50 mins to go. We could do with someone staking out Bodymoor just in case anything interesting turns up at the last minute .

And while a lot of people have said we should sign a right back, and I suggested Yedlin once he was made available for loan, it looks like he's off to Sunderland on loan.

Missed out if its true, right sided Amavi in my opinion, & makes Sunderland a stronger team

TS on Gabby (Birmingham Mail) "He has a huge part to play because we bought a lot of new boys into the club and even if he doesn't give us that on the pitch, the likes of him and Ciaran Clark and Westwood have a crucial part role to play in that dressing room this year."

Sounds like a trio of very expensive tea-boys to me .

If we sell Sanchez for another midfielder can we please get a dead-ball specialist, Westwood/Bacuna don't cut it for me.
