'Little to whinge about'...Really?
Some can whinge about anything...the owner isn't bothered, the owner is too involved, the manager is a 'psychotic', the manager is 'out of his depth', we've sold our most prolific striker, he's nothing more than a big headed diver who goes down like a falling 'wardrobe'... you name it...someone'll whinge.
One goal in 630 minutes of football though and God knows how long since we won at home (Bolton in early April I think)...ample justification for a bit of whinging there I'd say.

True, but the usual solutions suggested, change the manager to one who has actually got promotion from this league ...CHECK, bring in a wealthy local owner who has a passion for the club...CHECK, spend £20 million on some quality players... CHECK, get rid of some underperforming players...CHECK

I'm intrigued as to what the blue print from fans to change matters would now be.. except maybe give the guy time to shape the team and play consistently??

I don't like fruit cake but I am prepared to give him time.

As one can only base a player on the form for the club they are currently at one has to wonder where the quality players are. But hey let's not moan about Ince, Butterfield and Johnson, instead I'll enjoy their crap.......not

You're absolutely right Swale...wouldn't argue with that...and hang on...I've only just awoken and it seems we've only gone and doubled our goal tally for the season.

For me there is no choice but to stick with and back pearson, if at the end of the season he hasn't delivered a top 6 finish with this squad then maybe we can say he has failed.

But we had boring steady Clough Jnr, crazy attack minded McClaren, tedious Clement and and alternatively good then piss poor with wassall - Pearsons been consistent, nobody has blown us away yet!

When you score a goal every 360 minutes you don't have to be blown away

If Villa had had the luck in the first half they would have blown us away.

I was at the game and disagree, as Villa's subsequent results have shown.

Well you watched a different game to me. They dominated the first half because we sat back. They hit the woodwork twice and if both had gone in they would have won at a canter.
