Actually Brentford won 5-1 at home against Rotherham and managed a 1-1 draw away to Stoke

Wasnt thinking about the penalties as much as who is he going to play instead of? Grealish? McGinn? He is more of an attacking midfielder playing in the same position as Grealish. He is not a natural right winger.

I dont want Ødegaard, Real Madrid often put in clauses in their contracts for loans that the players has to play/feature a certain amout of games or you have to pay penalties, same as Liverpool

Yes, but how many times has he said he wants to correct these flaws and mistake, but nothing happens, they keep popping up, he keeps mentioning them.

Fair enough, it wont affect my life and I wont loose any sleep over that. Have a good one

Yes, I watched the game. I watch all the games available to me as I live in Copenhagen, but I have invested in AVTV, so watch all games being shown and I travel to Villa Park 2-4 times a season. Joint highest scorers in 2018? Good statistic, but it tells me another thing as well, not so flattering. That is eaither those goals has been scored in a handfull of games or we have shipped in a bucketload of goals, which baffles me, because I keep hearing that Bruce can put a defence together to make us hard to beat, because even with the stats you have presented, we still managed to stay in the Championship.

Of course I would give him credit when its deserved and I should have mentioned that in my post. If you would bother to go back and read some on my previous post, you will see that I have given plenty of credit when winning and when he has had the gut to go out and play football, instead of setting us up not to loose. But to give him credit for a scraped win against Wigan, I wont do that. Fair play to him for getting us 6 points, not so much in the way we got them.

Who has ever said that? Again, you are an expert in twisting words and sentences. We have also given away two easy goals and in total 3 goals scored against us. At the moment we are relying on our defenders to get the goals for us, because out strikers doesnt even look close to scoring. How long will that hold water? In not a Bruce fan, but Im not a loud Brouter either. I will quietly support him as long as we win, but I will criticise him whenever I feel the need to do so. Staying content with how things are will never improve us, so you have to voice your concerns and areas where improvement is needed.

It wasnt a great win, but a win nonetheless. We didnt play them of the field, it was a lucky win. We needed the help of an own goal and a goal in the dying minutes, when we were loosing to a newly promoted team. I cant remember that many chances bar from a header over the bar from Kodija and a header after a set piece from Jedinak. If we had played some fantastic football, created chance by chance, and just not scored due to us being unlucky, then fair play, but for parts of the game we were dominated by Wigan at home and that has happened ar to often that we have allowed the opposition to get back in the game because we have sat back and waited. All I ask for is we play to our strenght instead of setting up to counter the opponents strenght and letting the opposition dictate play...at least at home. Fair play to Bruce for the 6 points from 2 games, but arent we allowed to criticise, just because we have won?

Off course you have to make your team aware of the opposition threats, key players, set pieces and so on, but to change your style of play or change half a team to accomodate an opponent like Wigan just doesnt make sense and just show that his fear of loosing is bigger than his desire to win, but thats just my oppinion. How often do you see the likes of Juventus, Roma, Real, Barcelona, PSG and just to name a few teams from Denmark - FC Copenhagen or Brøndby change their style of play? Almost never because they know they are a force to reckoned with, they know their opponents is changing their style of play, whenever they play the big teams. I know we cant compare ourselves to the likes of Real or Barcelona or any of the other teams I have mentioned bar the 2 teams from Denmark, but comparing us to the teams in the Championship, we should be a force that other teams are "scared" of" and a comparison we can use.

Bruce must have a selectionproblem for the next game, Elphick who looked ropey, made mistakes and nearly gifted Hull a goal or Jedinak who looked ropey and gifted Wigan a goal

Precisely. We shouldnt set up to accomodate our opponents, we should play our own game/style no matter who we play. Its so small time to be adjust to whom we meet instead of standing by what you represent.

One of the Wigan players was certainly trying and got a booking for it, but as another poster said, it will just free up some space for Grealish to use.

Jedinak is terrible in defense, I would much rather have Elphick , same with BB, never suggest him as DM anymore

Im sorry, but Bruce needs to go. I have said so the whole time. I know it’s still early, but he is never going to get us up
