I think Vieira is here til the end of the season at least and might not be sacked even if we go down. The next few games are games we wouldn’t be expected to get anything from and by the time they’re done it’ll be too late to bring someone else in. We live or die by our games against the teams currently below us.

Not sure about todays line up. Playing Eze and Olise in an away game is risky given how poor they are defensively. I had hoped Wilf would come back after his break with a new lease of life as his firm has been indifferent this season. Decoure’s red card was a killer but maybe we’ll see Ahamada getting a game. The only positive I would take from today was 10 minutes of Jimmy Mac. We are going to need him!

If we cannot achieve the desired points we need during our last Six Games then we deserve to go down, sacking our manager is not the way to go, quite ridiculous to be honest.

I’d rather get relegated

My thoughts on the day. I had forgotten what a s*** hole the surrounding area to Villa Park is. No beer in the upstairs stand. The chicken balti pie was about the highlight of the day if you discount the Wilf goal that wasn’t.
As for the game two poor teams. Once we went behind we never looked capable of a goal. No complaints with the sending off. We actually played better with 10 men. Hey ho another wasted away day trip to see the only shot we had on target was actually offside.

Olive’s set pieces today were awful. Apart from the pass for the offside goal Eze did nothing. However these are the only players we have that have the ability to create anything. But you can’t start both away from home. (I am excluding Wilf as he will be gone at the end of the season.)

Mitchell must have put half a dozen crosses in to no one. Is it his fault he doesn’t look up or his teammates fault for not making the effort to be on the end of them.

Ferguson played about 10 mins away to Spurs last season. Not that I remembered as I was so pissed that day and caught Covid.

I have been slammed on the forum for my comments, However I will
continue.
The squad now is predominantly composed of players of an Afro-
Caribbean culture. Culture does not mean colour of skin.
This culture is more " laissez-faire " than Northern European
cultures and hence is not renowned for spirit,fight and
dedication as personified by players such as Derry, Macarthy,
Hill, Delaney et al.
The present squad with perhaps the exception of Zaha, Anderson,
Ward do not have these qualities.
Jimmy Mac and Hughes also have them but are not given ample
playing time.
