avyoursay Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Thought we would be too good for them as they were worse than us. But as soon as they sacked their manager, I was less confident. Especially appointing someone so soon as well, we all know how this can kick start a team, maybe only short lived, but probably the best option for City right now.

If we were to go down this route, which is being debated elsewhere for practically his entire time with us! Then it makes no sense to do it now unless you have someone better lined up, secondly if there is someone earmarked, NP may as well carry the baggage of likely defeat to M City etc. and a new guy starting ahead of winnable games and not become bogged down by confidence sapping 'likely' defeats setting the tone for more easily 'winnable' games

Villa were poor and we were worse. Changing the manager may work for a few games in improving results but longer term if the manager isn't great he can be a liability. Sherwood did well at Spurs initially then faded badly and was removed.
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Wouldn't be at all surprised if Sherwood keeps them up. It's starting to become a common theme this.
surrifox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 I would be surprised if Villa go on a run and haul themselves up the table new manager or not. I would make them likely relegation candidates -
cc_star Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 I would be surprised if Villa go on a run and haul themselves up the table new manager or not. I would make them likely relegation candidates - I don't know, they've got some good players they were just playing terribly. I think Lambert made them relegation candidates and Sherwood will get them clear of relegation.... That's not saying Sherwood is exceptional or anything, just Villa shouldn't really be down where they were under Lambert
Footballwipe Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 We would've lost to Villa yesterday whether Lambert was the manager or not. Surprised anyone watching the game yesterday saw any of the action anyway, seems like the BBC spent more time with Sherwood's face on the screen than the match.

That's not saying Sherwood is exceptional or anything, just Villa shouldn't really be down where they were under Lambert you're wrong mate. i read on here yesterday morning that our players are all better than theirs apart from bentecke and a 'black defender' !
ADK Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 I don't think they are good but they had an incentive to put a shift in with the new manager watching on and we were trying to play at 90% and just got out hustled. I still wouldn't take any of their players and think they will be near relegation.
BigMicky Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Vlaar, Delph, Westwood, Benteke and maybe Guzan would all walk into our side.
lestajigs Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Wouldn't be at all surprised if Sherwood keeps them up. It's starting to become a common theme this. Dam right, we're just to stupid to see it
Leicesterpool Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 I don't know, they've got some good players they were just playing terribly. I think Lambert made them relegation candidates and Sherwood will get them clear of relegation.... That's not saying Sherwood is exceptional or anything, just Villa shouldn't really be down where they were under Lambert To be honest Villa have got some good players and there's no way they should be in a relegation scrap, all that was down to Lambert playing them wrong and not being a great motivator, though it was probably always going to be difficult for Lambert considering the tight budget he was on under Lerner. A good manager at Villa will turn them round, but is Sherwood the right man?... I'm not sure its a huge gamble on Villa's part. If Lambert had stayed then I'm convinced Leicester would have been beaten Villa yesterday, even if Leicester played the way they did.
m4DD0gg Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 In all honesty i think its going to go down to the final day for the final 2 relegation spots.
lestajigs Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 How we played yesterday, we wouldn't of beat them with lambert, utter disgrace, over 6000 there, shameful
m4DD0gg Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 How we played yesterday, we wouldn't of beat them with lambert, utter disgrace, over 6000 there, shameful Coco dont give 2 shits about that though.
avyoursay Posted 16 February 2015 Author Posted 16 February 2015 Yes we played crap from beginning to end, it's just that they may have played far worse under Lambert, and however poorly we played, we may have just had enough to beat them. My other point is that we need points to stay up, and if changing the manager now gives us this kickstart, however short lived, it just may be enough for survival. It may well all fall apart again, but just give a short term contract till the end of the season, with added bonus for staying up, then see if anyone better is available before next season starts, hopefully with enough time to rebuild.
Dan Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Sherwood's influence on yesterday has been absolutely over-hyped to the extreme.
cc_star Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Sherwood's influence on yesterday has been absolutely over-hyped to the extreme. At times BBC showed a spot of football in between that programme they had on yesterday lunch time about Tim Sherwood sitting in the stands
