Reivax_Villa

wow Absolute disbelief

I don't think there is any point in sacking him.. I really cannot see any other manager being able to stop this rot. These players cannot handle the expectation of playing for a historic football club with high expectations. The players we have have never played under these circumstances. We may have a talented squad but they cannot deal with the pressure. We attract and sign these players and after the first week they realise how difficult it really is here.

I agree that Birkir is not the best offensive player but i think his understanding tactically is very good. He is the type a player you would put on with 20 mins to go.

I don't think hogan and Kodjia work at the moment I would rather start Kodjia with Adomah on the right

Very unlucky We have played well this half

i agree

Taylor has looked good so far I don't get this lightweight talk, Ashley Cole, Danny Rose have a similar build to him..

Like many other fans, i find it weird that despite whoever we bring to this club, they get swamped in the dark cloud at Aston Villa FC. The biggest problem at this football club is the weight of expectation added with recent failures. The real question is whether a player like Conor Hourihane (who i believe is very talented) can deal with the pressure of playing for Aston Villa. It's very rare that when a footballer comes to a football club he is tasked with the responsibility of changing the fortunes of a big football in low league football. Are we underestimating the task that our players have? Fans are screaming for Wagner or Dean Smith, but can they really deal with the club, fans, chairman, media at this football club? There is no real expectation at Huddersfield or Brentford, the players are free to play how they like with no pressure and these managers do not have the weight of the club on their shoulders the way SB does. I personally think that the players that we have signed in the previous transfer windows did not realise how tough it is at Aston Villa and now they are realising how hard it will be to get promoted.

Pretty much this. Even if we loss the next three game he has to stay. We cannot afford another manager and another squad at this level. Bruce has to be given time to work with this squad whether we like it or not.

I hope that he stays How many times are we going to keep changing a manager because of some bad form? Villa will never be the club that we once were if we keep sacking managers. He is a very capable manager at this level and he deserves the time to make things right and make us effective.

THIS Team Bruce!

Makes sense now..

btw are still unbeaten at home this season?

Well how easy is it to get a set of new players to play total football in one week? Didn't you guys notice the nice passage play we had around the 70th minute. We showed glimpses of things to come.

Well that's a very vague response LOL So who is Mr Right then?

One of the causes to our instability is the the high demands and pressure fans put on the players and manager. If we have learnt one thing it should be patience

LOL so what do we do then? Appoint another manager that brings in his own players and the same shit happens?

No way Bruce should get sacked. He needs time.

Adomoah is playing as a lone striker I don't understand why people are saying that were playing with no striker

Hourihane delivery has been impressive

This is the first time i have seen our youth players perform and i am impressed. They are all cohesive, they talk to each other and now how they want to play. I think this just proves that time together builds chemistry and an understanding. For me it makes it even more apparent that our senior squad need time to build.

Because you haven't heard of him doesn't mean that he is not good enough lol. He has been destroying defenders for the past 3/4 years at this level, furthermore he came to our club at a time where we had ZERO width, he is adds pace and another dimension to us when our players very frequently pull together..

He deserves to rot until we get promoted

After watching his interview i am very impressed with how he conducts himself. Let's just hope he can be a big player for us. Welcome to AVFC!!
