No I didn't realise, I thought Wolves were playing against training cones to be honest. Do you think Wolves would play like this at VP? No, because they're going for promotion and want to beat everyone. Under Bruce we are clearly not good enough because in games that we need to win to show ourselves as challengers, we shut up shop and hope for a draw with zero attempt at playing football ourselves. If anything it's giving massive credit to them because I'm saying that we should be taking Wolves as an example of how to play, which is **** depressing to say.

It's not one game though is it? We also got embarrassed by Cardiff and Reading, the moment we face any half decent side we fall to bits. And yes, I do expect us to go for the win against Wolves, because we are targeting promotion this season, do you think Wolves wouldn't try go for the win at VP and just let us have the ball for the entire game? No they wouldn't because they want to be promoted.

The grand scheme is getting promoted this season, and we're currently being completely embarrassed against a promotion challenger (Second time this season), how does that not mean anything in the grand scheme? It shows that under Bruce we are nowhere near **** good enough to consider promotion.

Match Thread: Villa v Middlesbrough

Aww, he still loves us -
8 goals in 2 games, great turn around from the first few games. Hopefully, we can keep this up now. Great for the young lads to put on such a good performance too.
-
Haha, had completely forgotten about him, it's just been so long since he's proved that he is one
-
I suppose, but it's just strange we've taken off our only striker again when I'm pretty sure one of the other young lads on the bench is a striker too.
-
Easah Suliman on for Hogan? Weird sub.
-
McCormack on. And now 4-1.
-
To be fair it was for having a shot after an offside had been given I believe.
-
7 goals in 2 games, I think I'm going faint...
-
3-1
-
Nice finish from Adomah.
-
Gardner I think. It was one of the central midfielders at the least.
-
Hogan! I think...
-
That's why I said try, we have our tails up at the minute, but it's a bit risky throwing on an extra defender on and have no recognisable striker.
-
Playing the rest of the game without a striker now, why must Bruce try and instantly undo any good will he earns?
-
Bree coming on, 63 minutes too late.
-
Rotherham would've been almost 50 games ago now though, the last time was Cardiff I believe, when we won 3-1 at home and Gestede got 2.
-
At last Andre, what a finish!
-
Great play by Davis! He's having a stormer! If only we can stop playing Hutton, maybe Bruce can turn this around.
-
At least with RDM you could genuinely say we were unlucky to draw some of those games, we've just been awful so far.
-
Looks like Gabby to LM, Bjarnasson to RB and Bree to CB.
-
Unfortunately, the Bham mail seem to have come to that conclusion by calculating how many points 1.6 ppg would have gotten us in those first 11 games under RDM, which would be 17.6 and added them to our current total, but they forgot to discount RDM's points, meaning we would have had to get 28 points in those 11 games to get their total. Taking into account RDM's games would give us a total of 65.6 (41 x 1.6), just one win outside of the playoffs, which all considering, is still pretty good. They did get the RDM bit right though bizarrely, we'd be on 37 points and probably 23rd.

Well, considering the two main problems are that he came in mid-campaign without having a pre-season, shortly after we had to completely overhaul our terrible squad that got us just 17 points last season, at least until he gets a pre-season with a settled squad? Not totally unreasonable.
