Certainty then

So is this the same as "has a weight on their shoulders" and "the weight has been removed from their shoulders" With weight being the weight of expectancy or a burden/worry

On the bench again today, maybe we'll see him this time

Must be picking Elmo for the defensive side and tracking back. This could be 90 mins of the first 30 mins at Brentford where we barely touch the ball.

His inability to control the ball and his first touch are the standouts for me. If he shows that he can do those things then it's clearly nerves rather than ability that's been holding him back so far. Hopefully we'll get to see over the next few games.

Taking totals so far and projecting until the end of the year, 88 points would win the league. The standard is so poor this year, which makes our recent performances that much more frustrating. It's a pretty safe bet that we won't be worrying the play off places this year so hopefully at some point before the end of the season we can start playing some football and focus on the players and style we want to play next year. We have to start our 19/20 race for promotion faster than we have the last 3 years.

It is exactly this. He gets until the end of the season pretty much regardless. When he first came in we all thought it would be tough to turn the results around and get us playing a Dean Smith style considering where we started from, but we slowly showed progress towards that. Then we went through a run of playing some of the best football we have in years and we thought it had clicked, only for the wheels to completely come off and then begin playing some terrible hoofball. I didn't expect us to go flying up the league when he started but I did expect us to slowly bring a more passing game and change the style of football at VP. IMO the results themselves won't be what decides if he keeps his job, the playoffs was a tough ask when he first joined, but If he can't get some semblance of a footballing side in to this team by season's end then I wouldn't be surprised if the owners make a change.

He quite simply has to get more out of these players, grealish or not I can't understand why we as a team refuse to play any football and just lump it up the pitch. The results haven't been great but I didn't expect much after Bruce anyway, it's the performances that are difficult to ignore. Bar that month or so where we looked good we've been **** dreadful either side. This season looks just about done for us now, so get the guys who will be here next year in the 11 and get us developing a brand of football that can win is the league next year.

Can't say they don't deserve it we've been shit yet again. Don't understand why we aren't trying to play any football.

We always get shit refs...

**** me Conor, got to bury that

This is **** dreadful

Nice chop half of what I said out. Against the 24 attacks in the league last year it means that 15 team's conceded more. For a team that finished 9th. Context is important.

Last season Brentford scored 62(9 team's scored more) conceded 52(8 teams conceded less)goals Now I'm not saying that's brilliant, but it goes against the fact that Dean Smith can't organise a defence and that Brentford both were free scoring and that they couldn't defend(last year at least). We are almost the worst team in the league at the back so far this year, that is beyond belief and it needs to change if we are going to push on. This isn't all Smith's fault either, we were terrible at the back under Bruce as well.

Aston villa Goals Scored 56 Team's that have scored more. Norwich(57), West Bromwich(59) Aston villa Goals Conceded 49 Team's that have conceded more Ipswich(51) We are a seriously bipolar team, I didn't realise the stats were this bad, there is only one team in this division worse than us at the back, let that sink in.
