  1. As somebody on the match thread mentioned, he used the ‘putting your boots on’ and going again line. While I wish he would go today, he’ll be given some time while the new signings come in. Ultimately, despite his bolshy, I’m-going-to-come-out-fighting comments post match, he won’t be able to change his style. More importantly, without the likes of Terry and Snoddy, he won’t be able to regain the dressing room. When the time comes, I can’t see him resigning. He’ll want the payout.
  2. Can somebody tell me the best odds on Bruce getting the boot? Might be worth a flutter.
  3. The equivalent of corporate sharpening of the knives is happening as we speak, I’d imagine: CEO in touch with the in-house legal team to talk about Bruce’s termination package and the finer details of his payoff. Calderwood will probably go too. Mark Delaney in as caretaker until Henry signs over the international break.
  4. How’s their defensive shape? Can we get them into the dressing room to instruct the players?
  5. He will not be able to gee the players up at HT. He’ll try to make a substitution or two to mix things up but it’ll just paper over the cracks. He can’t do anything with the defence in terms of substitutions. The players will be able to see that he has no options left. Some will be expecting him to be gone by Monday.
  6. Give a man enough rope and he’ll hang himself. Give a manager full backing of massively influential owners and he fails to Marshal his troops. He’s done
  7. Well said. This is Bruce’s last line of defence - he’s attacking the players who he is relying on to get him out of the hole.
  8. Like most Renault Clios, Steve has broken down. And I think this time it’s a write off.
  9. Bruce post match: ‘Sheffield United are a big “clubbe” and their manager has done a good job. They outplayed us today. And we’ve got to be better. The good thing...about this division...is that you get another chanc very quickly. And you can guarantee that the team in the next game will be TOTALLY different.’ And what did you say to the players at HT and FT, Steve? Bruce: ‘nothing’. That’s management for you. Same excuses. Hollow words. No clue.
  10. I wonder if he’s going to alienate some of these players by throwing them under the bus after this performance? He has lost it
  11. Only a few more to go Steve. Hope he has the decency to resign and not expect a pay out. You dtaiised the ship but your lack of ideas are holding us back. You’re now ruining our chances. BANG AVERAGE MANAGER
  12. I don’t think this is about ‘going up’ now. This is about bringing in a leader because we have a manager who has lost the dressing room. And thats 2.
  13. Waiting for a bit of magic. We won’t play teams off the Park with Steve. We’ll rely on that little moment. No no let good enough for a team with as much quality as ours.
  14. So bring in a new keeper who you’ve eyed up for theses. Play him in the most experimental back four I’ve seen at Villa in my life. Way to mess up his confidence (even if he’s any good).
  15. An ad for ‘Blakely’ appears at the top of my screen on VT. perhaps we could get this chap to help us organise the defence...he looks like a cockend but he might help...
  16. Come on lads. We’ve got easily enough to take it to this lot! Hope to see some nice exchanges between the four more offensive midfielders.
  17. Well, time to accept that Jedi is now a centre back. I’m sick of moaning about it.
  18. Confirm the signing. Get him in. Get Jedi out of defence (although I envisage Bruce keeping Jedi there so ‘the young lad can settle in’...meanwhile we’re like a sieve at the back).
  19. Second and (?)fifth clips look suspiciously like he could play right back. Might as well try him out on the right first... ?
