With Wesley up front? Yeah good luck with that...

Will be an announcement tomorrow...or will there...

Villa Park has been chosen to host some of the Rugby games for the common wealth games in Birmingham. I'm of the understanding a new north stand will be built and that we'll get funding to help with it.

If I were Smith I'd drop Grealish, we seem to want to see him fouled. I'm sick to death of seeing him play for the foul instead of trying to do something positive with it.

Young, hungry players with something to prove....that's not King then.

That's a signing that won't be happening what so ever. Olympiacos signed him for around 7 mil euros, he was also linked with a move to China and being touted for 60 mil euros fore that move. Been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal in the past.

There will be new signings, players are not for sale & the new owners want us to go up 1st time of asking under them. Bruce has sold them on the idea of us going up under him, they have bought what he is selling and they are going to back him with some new players.

Stephane Omeonga has not signed for us.

Going to be a busy week for use next week, 3 in coming by Fridays deadline of 1200 to be in the squad for Mondays game.

He was supposed to get use promoted, he didn't, he failed, he should of been sacked right after the play off final for the pathetic 1st half showing. Saying that, he's our manager, lets just do what we do and get behind him. If the football is poor and the results reflect that, then I'm sure the boo boys will come out in force. I think Bruce's tactics haven't evolved with the way most teams try to play in the Championship. Even Bolton and Burton try to play attacking football.

I'm really getting annoyed now by players, playing out of pos. This cost us big time last night, Jedi is not and will never be a CB. Year after year, manager after manager, player after player.....

How many times did he lose the ball last night?

That's not an outside punt, he was being linked to every job under the sun & done a half decent job for us. The fact we had a recruitment team behind that was P**S poor ruined what he might of done at Villa.

We need a John Gregory type of appointment, a manager that no-one expects, that is up and coming, that has nothing to lose so will play attacking football from the off. That type of manager, comes in and if he does well its a great pat on the back for him as he will of come in with no pressure. The appointment of Steve 'I can take any team up' Bruce came with so much pressure to him and the players as once he walked through the door it was all predicted from outside of Villa that Villa will go up with Steve Bruce as he's done it all before. RDM was a pressure appointment too. They both had to prove that what they have done wasn't luck but true management skill. Heres an outside punt, Nathan Jones. Luton are the 1st side to hit 50 league goals this season.

We are going in the right direction under Bruce, we're winning, we have climbed the table into 4th and we are on the back of 3 straight wins. Talk of someone else taking over is pathetic.

Hope he doesn't get a start, offered nothing on Wednesday night when he came on.

If we get promoted, Potato Head has earned the chance to see what he can do back in the Prem & he'll have my support. Our goal will be to stay up - plain and simple.

V Forest we started off with 3 at the back, that's a week worth of training for that game, for that system. Within 20 mins, we changed to a flat back 4. A weeks worth of prep for a system for that game, wasted. Simple things like that were getting on my nerves. Now we are playing with a 4-4-2, with a settled side, with players needing to up their game to stay in the side and to get into the side. That makes me happy. Bruce finally saw what the best formation is for the squad we have.

The more I think about it the more Moyes comes to mind. People have mention his brand of Football but he only had cash to spare at Everton towards the back end of the reign he had there. I honestly believe that Moyes will come in and he will take us up. Round has worked with the U18 & U23's recruitment to bring better players into our 1st team. Wyness, Round and Moyes were successful at Everton, no-one can debate that. I live in Liverpool, Everton were a shambles when he took over, he stopped them going down and built a team that slowly started to push back into the top 6. Goodison is a shed but they were selling out most games, the fans are the judges and they judged with their arses on seats. We didn't even have 30k on Sat, that speaks volumes for me.

There, right there.

If and its a big IF potato head gets sacked before Jan 1st, I'd bet a months wages Steve Round would get the job.

Sick of seeing him last night. How many times did he fail to beat the 1st man a cross that he didn't even look up for before hitting it?!

Whats really annoying the life out of me that he can't just pick 1 formation, get them drilled into it and how he 'expects' them to play. Changing your formation, that you have worked all week on in prep for the match 30 mins in to the match is a f**king joke.

Fact.

lol we aren't signing Crouch & RHM is NOT going out on loan.
