Very poor again. It doesn't matter who the manager is, the players need to bloody step up. I'm a little tired of our desire to pass backward when there is space ahead. Ben missed a great diagonal run from Pablo because he was too busy looking backward. Utter crap.
With with wife's Aunt and Uncle in Tingalpa. I messaged you at the time to see if you fancied a pint but you never answered.
I think we need bartley on to deal with the physicality a bit better than amat, other than that the boys are playing balls too quickly every time. A bit of possession needed, slow the game down a bit now and then. Can't argue with the quality of the goals though!
A healthy team at home against a struggling Villa and this is what we get ....... I was willing to give Monk a chance but clearly he cant motivate . If we lose a lot of players over the summer and Monk is still in control , we willbe after Derby'sPremier League record next season
We've gone from an intricate passing game to hoofing the ball up to Bony or behind for Routs and pablo to run on to.
we're a bit fortunate to be ahead - but what a quality strike from shelvey. i expect Villa to continue to pressurise us from the off, next goal is very very important.
We are very poor today. No zip about our game. This confirms for me that Monk is not the way forward. New manager and new captain please....Ash needs to go. Not really leading by example IMO, and too close to Monk.
...and please can we see a sub at 60 mins today. Give Emnes a run at these as well as Dyer. JDG and Pablo off.
