Hopefully 1 more game then pp out

And you think that would produce results with the same players? 

How many games under parky have we failed to score a goal? It must be a record, even in league one we had a few 

I must say starting without either or both Magennis and Doidge was a crazy decision.

Yeah but this turgid crap we are having to watch as to stop, I am sick of every match going a goal down then knowing we are going to lose is it too much to ask for a few winning results ffs.

I have posted before that Parky said he bought Diodge to play in a front 3 with Magennis and Donaldson well why hasn't he tried it then.

This I agree with he’s got to go with the courage of his convictions. Might as well lose going for it. 

Donaldson was probably our best player. I’d like to see him out wide. We had a number of crosses go in where both wingers weren’t anywhere near the box. With him and Magennis/Doidge we’d at least be more of a threat from any crosses we get in. 

Swansea could be his last game if we lose cannot see him turning it around even though I hope he does!

Yep, I really like him as a guy but you see the team & again, you think, fucking Noone & Buckley again. What's the point of them both? How many chances are they gonna have? He might as well just pack his midfield rather than play Noon, Buckley or Wildshit.

Pack it with who? Josh fucking Vela. We don’t have the personnel that’s the main reason we’re up shit creek. 

He's got to try 4-3-3 with Donaldson Magennis and Diodge upfront play Lowe Wiiliams and give Murphy another try can't be any worse than the rest the defence picks itself unfortunately.

Anybody but them 'wingers' who are just anonymous or constantly giving the ball away. I agree, we're desperate, we've not moved forward in the division despite what some people have said about our squad.

Nail was hit on head earlier when someone said we're a defensive team who can't defend. A team set up to be solid that is like jelly. Given we can't attack either we're seriously in the shit. Another pointless 15 minutes for Doidge when game gone. Parky keeps saying he's finding the step up difficult, surely that should be judged after a run of 6-8 starts with either Donaldson or Magennis up with him, not 1 start up front on his own, a handful of bits and pieces of games off bench and one start last week. He struggled a bit when he came on tonight but no wonder.

Probably get dogs for this but I don't get this oztumer love in with some fans 

I love him, it's because he can pass, he can cross (great 1 for the Hobbs header) and he can shoot. That makes 2 in the squad along with Ameobi.

I like this Donaldson chap. 

I liked him months ago, as usual it takes Parky months to cotton on.

Oztumer. I don’t see it. Seriously 

Compared to who in our squad? We have an awful midfield granted, but who is he worse than?

Got to be a wind up

Folk fall for it cos he has a nice touch and the rest of our players have a 2nd touch that’s a a tackle. He’s not good enough 

I'm not meaning to fight his corner, it's just an opinion, but if the ball drops yo him in the area on his left foot instead of his right foot like it did in the 1st half, it's probably a goal. Nobody else in the squad apart from Ameobi has that ability. He is a proven scorer and provider in div 1 which is far better than the rest.

Personally I’m like Marc. I want to like him and it’s refreshing to see someone in the middle that’s prepared to put his foot on the ball. We’ve been starved of any kind of initiave. Just another Zach Clough to be honest.

When Sammy is back he doesn’t get a sniff. 

 

Sammy replaces our inept wingers that Patky has a wierd obsession with. Oz has a completely different role through the middle.

As much as I can't stand villa as a club they've looked a bloody good team tonight. The 2 centre backs have been immense. 

Just my opinion but I thought they looked really poor and wasteful after the excellent 1st goal. A half decent team would have drawn that game.

Williams for one

Did Otz even touch it second half?

Touched it as much as anyone else. I can see the quality Williams has but he's no different to Oz in that he has had game after game where he has had no impact whatsoever.  I still can't see a midfielder in our squad that brings more to the team than Oz apart from Ameobi.

I'd play Williams where Oz is playing. Have him further forward. He can take the ball on the turn, he can run at defenders and he can pick a pass. I've yet to see Oz do that.

And I hate to say this about Oz, as he's probably had it all his life, but he's just too small. And it does matter.

This side needs a Kevin Nolan, it needs a Kevin Davies, it needs a Gudni Bergsson - but we ain't got the money.

Backwards and downwards unfortunately - fuck me it's depressing

It wasnt a surprise but at least the players showed they care about the club & the manager.

Got myself into too many arguments tonight with folk who also have an opinion & follow the club 

Up to the second goal we are in the game .Fucking diabolical decisions x2 change games 

But we kept going To the end so for me glass empty but not smashed.
