I think our 'staying in the game' mentality that others have alluded to has arguably shifted a bit over the past number of weeks but it was undoubtedly our main objective for quite a chunk of SC's reign. I genuinely think that his tactics, for right or wrong, are to improve the odds for us by ensuring that the modest amount of possession we have is higher up the pitch and to bank on the opposition making errors or one of our scarce talents to conjure something up or a combination of the two.

good interview with him in todays Guardian. Some decent quotes, best one being, I used to think my name was Graham Potter Boo. Has some unconventional methods of team bonding, doubt he'd get away with it in the UK, except maybe at some poncey club like Arsenal or Southampton.

Maybe not him but a player in that mould for me is what we are desperate for. Can use the ball great at set plays and isn’t afraid to get in there and dish it if needed. In fact we could do a lot worse imo. Isn’t he on a free??

in an article written by “Alex Dicken” has the video of the Villa fans spitting and wiping their feet on the blues shirt as they enter the Holte End under the headline “Villa fans use unusual doormat to enter the Holte End”

Seems like the sort of article not fitting for the newspaper in our City, but more a Villa fanzine

Just watched bits of the match back, not that we lost because of him, but he was awful and a proper homer.

They were buying free kicks all over the pitch, carding our players too easy and not punishing the vilers.

The bit where Chester heads Davis in the back, he only gets a talking too. Yet our players get a yellow for the little things. Shoddy.

I don't think we have ever had such an embarrassing midfield trio who fail to do the very basics of trapping and passing a ball.

They make the Dean Peer/Dougie Bell/Kevin Langley trio look like Pirlo alongside Hoddle and De Bruyne.

Who the feck was the co commentator on sky today?

Took every opportunity to glorify Villa and knock us down.

I felt like they wanted a Villa win.

It’s the first time I’ve seen incredibly biased commentating like that.

Happy with that. Good player.

....but for how long? Maybe a little contentious, maybe a bit of a hissy fit kind of a reaction, but this afternoon I thought to myself that I almost don't mind if they do go up (which I believe is now nailed on). I am sick of them, and I'm sick of these games now. I'll look forward to not facing them for a bit.
They've rolled the dice, shit or bust to return to the premier, at stake either survival or financial meltdown. Bigger clubs in the past have done the same and come unstuck, Forest, Sheffield Wednesday... Читать дальше...

Good News

Get him more game time next season, sack off Cogley.

...is it? Not where i was in the city centre, Digbeth and various other places. Everytime the deluded fannies sing this cr*p it makes them sound even more stupid than they usually are. Fans from other clubs can't believe how deluded the tw@ts are.

and recorded a routine win

lots of people getting worked up about how it was an awful blues performance, no fight etc etc

i'm not seeing it as anything more than them having excellent players for this level compared to our XI that have been struggling for some time, we rode our luck and had the chance to take the lead but ultimately the difference in quality showed

yeah there were some terrible performances on show, notably from jenkinson and roberts but did yesterday... Читать дальше...
