Are the players trying...

[gripper stebson]

...as hard as they can?

Discuss!

I sense that they are not. It's almost their way of saying they are not happy with the current management.

Our squad may not be up to getting into the top 6 but they are a lot better than they are currently playing.

Something stinks!

 

[Dave Armstrong's Hare]

No!
If you rely on loan players, one year contractors or players coming to the end of their contract and you’re in a dog fight at the bottom. These players will not dig you out. They have no vested interest unless they’re the passionate type, and I hav’nt witnessed much of that from those mentioned.

We have so many midfield players in the squad but so little quality, Gardner was very poor today, there are certain players not stepping up.

 

[Guinness Boy]

No.

 

[El Turi]

I think they are but are just not up to it.

 

[Mackenzie]

Gardner must be better than what we're seeing. Does make you wonder if the motivation is right.

 

[sir albion]

Defo a side who couldn't be arsed today

Gardner couldn't give a toss. No wonder Villa got rid. Colunga looks short of effort too. GOG - well it's likely he's just useless. JFC is in a role where he can look lazy but today he wasn't at his best. There was a collective tune off at the start of the second half when all we had to do was consolidate for a few minutes. Then again at the end. We still had a chance of a win but we were done when the scoreboard clock said 85 minutes.

Not sure if it's a lack of effort or more to do with not knowing what jobs there supposed to be doing, seems they just play wherever they like with no real tactical instruction.

 

[Peterrhodes]

No, they are comfortable because as mentioned by Hyppia in his post match radio interview he cuddles them when they make mistakes as telling them off might make them sad. It's pathetic, he needs to man up or go quickly.

He signed a new two-year deal with Villa in May - Aston Villa: Gary Gardner signs new contract

 

[porkypie]

No i think there not playing for hyppia.

So? They then shipped him out on loan so some other poor sods could cover a portion of his wages. #BuyMoreBurgers
