Under pressure (which can work either way) Express/John Wragg - TWO GAMES FOR ALEX MCLEISH TO SAVE DAY
Alex McLeish locked the dressing-room door for an hour-long inquest after the Bolton setbackALEX McLEISH has two matches in which to end Aston Villa’s slump or face new anger from fans unhappy about his appointment. A relatively easy fixture list has brought only one Premier League win and exit from the Carling Cup. Villa’s past two performances – a draw with Newcastle and defeat against Bolton in the Carling Cup – have been poor. Both games were at home and the team were booed off each time. Crowds are already down, with the top tier of the main stand not even opened for the Bolton tie and the ground only half-full. McLeish locked the dressing-room door for an hour-long inquest after that Bolton setback and must now inspire his players away to QPR on Sunday and at home against Wigan the following Saturday. The anti-McLeish campaign could reignite, leaving him in a difficult situation in balancing the board’s dictate to cut costs and producing an attractive, successful team. Manager McLeish is staying calm and will try to ride out the storm. “It’s a learning process for a lot of the younger players,” he said. “Hopefully the disappointment will fire them to better things. It’s about getting that bit of belief back in their game. They’ve done it before and the evidence is there.” ì It’s about getting that bit of belief back in their game. They’ve done it before and the evidence is there î Alex McLeish Villa fought a successful relegation battle with Gerard Houllier in charge last season, while Birmingham went down under McLeish. And owner Randy Lerner does not want to go through another traumatic season. “I said before the Bolton game not to be frightened, for the players to go and express themselves, and there were one or two momentws when they did that,” said McLeish. “I thought the fans stayed with us but if you get beaten at home, and we are not unique, the fans will not be happy. “It is something you expect. You have to be big enough to deal with it or not be part of the game. “In the end it was flat. But it will be crazy to dwell on it. We just weren’t good enough and we did not deserve to beat Bolton.” www.express.co.uk/posts/view/272911/Two-games-for-Alex-McLeish-to-save-day

5 John Gregory. Played and managed both clubs. He was a good manager at Villa. Dwight Yorke and Savo Milosevic.

My first ever QPR game was against Villa in 1975, Sept? too I think? This weekend could mark my 36th year of fandom. We've always had decent games against Villa, just sad we lost that League Cup semi after three games. But Andy Gray & Brian Little were a damn good strike force for them. Nice one Andy!, i remember it very well, its another game that ranks with the biggest disappointments you had as a Rangers fan.I remember staying up to watch those midweek games and was gutted when they knocked us out!!!

Maude's September Q&A with Aston Villa Fanqprreport.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=26508&page=1Many thanks to Damian Dugdale www.thevillablog.co.uk/ How long have you supported Villa? All my lifeHow long have you been involved with your Blog? Why did you decide to do it? The blog started in 2005 and I started it for fun as I had an opinion and it basically developed from that.Who's Villa�s biggest Rival (or Rivals)? Biggest rival - Manchester United. The Clowns (Birmingham City) don't really register as rivals. They are a small club and will never be close to what we have achieved in the game.Are you happy with your team and how things are? � What are your opinions on Alex Mcleish? His spending/selling this summer? The team is fine. Alex McLeish it turned out was the best our owner wanted to get, so we have to live with him for now. In terms of buying and selling, we are going to have to see but the business he did at The Clowns wasn't the most inspiring.What do you think of your current Owners? WHY are they involved? WHO ARE THEY?! What do you expect? Could they realistically have done more to boost your chances? Randy Lerner is the owner and he has done okay. He is making money and his investments to date are fairly safe. What do I expect from him is easy, I just look back to what Doug Ellis used to do. A big spend followed by a season or three of not really spending, then spend again. He isn't here to buy the league, but I'm not really convinced he is here to try and win it organically either. I'm fairly sure he is here for what he can get out of it though.How do you think Villa treats its fans? Appreciates them? Listens to them? Screws them? The club tell the fans what they want to hear, but I think that is true of most clubs these days. They treat us like any other club too. free scarves every now and then, the odd coach trip and a flag once or twice a season. Nothing that hasn't happened elsewhere, but of course we think it is special.Who are you Dangermen/Most valued/most overrated/most underrated players? For me, the most important players are the younger ones coming through like Barry Bannan, Marc Albrighton and Ciaran Clark but the most valuable is Darren Bent. When he gets into his stride, he'll start scoring for fun. Most overrated will be Gabby Agbonlahor. He has had another good start to the season, but by Christmas he'll be back to his one goal every 4 games ratio.Are you happy with your youth set up? Is your club doing enough to bring young/local talent through the ranks? Our youth set up for many years has been considered one of the best in the land but we need to give more youngsters a chance in the first team or they'll not continue to develop through the system, instead picking somewhere else to play. We bring a few local players through, but we also scout younger players and bring them to the club - but they need game time when they are ready to step up and while they play every now and then, we will only really see how good they are if they get a proper run.Who would you say was the greatest Villa player that you yourself personally saw? And past player? (You can name more than one if it's that close!) Greatest I ever saw was Paul McGrath - as gifted defensively as Pele was up front. As for past player - too many to name.What is your prediction for Villa this season? Top half. JustAre you aware of any player or manager links between our two clubs past and present? John Gregory managed you and us and you've just signed Luke Young and there must be more, but pub is open and I'm thirsty.What is your opinion of the Luke Young transfer? Have we gained a good player? You've got a great player, but he wanted out for the cash and he got it. He'l do well and work hard - not the best going forward but will keep trying.What is your view and the general Villa view of QPR (If we even feature in your consciousness) or of Neil Warnock and our owners? Neil Warnock could do a job this season and you've brought in some decent players and you've got a fantastic old stadium - or did have. I've not been there for years and years. Nice honest club that for some reason, should be in the top flight - probably because you were when I was growing up.Who(if any) is your most memorable/favourite QPR Player over the years? Gotta be Les Ferdinand. I used to bump into him quite a bit when he lived in between St Albans and Hatfield - or had a house there anyway. Top bloke.Your score prediction for QPR v Aston Villa? I've got to say 2-1 to us, but if that was reversed it wouldn't surprise me. If you're a betting man, get your money on a draw.What, realistically, do you think Villa are capable of achieving in the next five years? Much the same as we will achieve this year unless we get a multi billionaire owner or the game is fixed.

Thanks Bushman
In 1972, Martyn Busby's last full game before the de-facto career ending leg break was at Villa, QPR winning 1-0 through Busby against Bruce Rioch's Aston Villa

Thanks Bushman In 1972, Martyn Busby's last full game before the de-facto career ending leg break was at Villa, QPR winning 1-0 through Busby against Bruce Rioch's Aston Villa Rangers totally out played Villa and should have won by more than just the one goal. Francis scored the winning goal. Francis was superb that day.
