Honestly preferred Paul Lambert to this guy, and I really didn't like Paul Lambert

How tall are you? 

The best outcome on Tuesday is we play like garbage again but win due to 'brough scoring an own goal.

Edit: well actually the best outcome is everything clicks and we play like gods and win 4-0 to kickstart our promotion campaign but you know

I think he will go on Wednesday should we fail to win.

Yep, lose on Tuesday and he'll go most likely.

Dwight Yorke

We have the best squad in the league, I have no doubt.

We also have a dinosaur for a coach who hasn't adapted to the ever-increasing pace and changing style of football we've seen over the last few years.

The poundland version of Albrighton

Boggles my mind that after nearly a year of no improvement and even decline there are still people saying not to sack him and that he needs to be given a chance. That mindset is exactly why we're where we are.

Needs to act now

Nope

**** off Bruce

Why are we like this

Because we have Steve Bruce as our manager

Whelan is the weak link

Hint: it's Steve Bruce

We don't need to see a replay of something literally just after it happened 

Lmao these **** replays

Nice save

Whelan is dreadful, sorry but the guy can't pass to save his life

I felt like I aged several years watching that "counter-attack".

So sick of these shit aimless crosses into the box. **** aim for someone.

Come on Villa

Should be beating Brentford no excuses. I mean who are they??

A team that beat us 3-0 the last time we met

Nice line-up

A thumping 3-0 win, please.

(I know we'll most probably get a 1-0 lead and then defend for the rest of the game and end with a 1-1)

Had a bit of a 'conversation' with him via Instagram DM. I won't divulge what was said but it was quite an interesting insight into the man. 

Well don't post about it in the first place then

This kind of thing doesn't happen overnight.

The football is shit right now. That doesn't mean what's said in that interview isn't true or can't come true.

You don't establish an identity by clicking your fingers.

 

You're right that it won't happen overnight and will likely be several years before we start to see the fruition of it, but that then leads to the question of why we're sticking with Bruce when his style of play clearly isn't in our plans going forward. I don't think Bruce is capable of changing his mindset and employing progressive football so we'll end up in the situation where our youth are taught to play one way and the senior team will be playing another.

I guess by next month we'll have a clearer picture of what to expect going forward regardless.

I like that we're trying to establish a playing identity at the club from youth to senior. It's a shame it'll just all be bypassed by hoofball anyway.
