good post, except for....

the majority on here are not asking for whole sale changes at the back.

the majority of posts are pointing out that naughton is getting too far forward when considering no one is covering him, and that barnett, aside from his da leat type massive errors that seem to crop up per game, is allowing the player he is marking to get to the ball in front of him....

these are observations made, not just based on the villa game, but over some 10 games.....

others then say that "look how far we've come since league 1 and these are championship players" - well naughton and barnett were brought in SPECIFICALLY as prem players to do a job for us - yes, they're now having to play egular prem footy for the first time in their careers.......and actualy they're not doing bad, but the same mistakes are being made week in week out. By pointing that out and discussing it is surely healthy and hardly a "tilt". By accepting these mistakes as "what do you expect?" is expecting to have to win our last game of the season to stay up. Away at Arsenal. If we want to stay well clear of the bottom three, then we HAVE to STOP these daft mistakes week in week out.

I dont think its a tilt for wrathers to point this out.
