USA_Villa

I don't care what the result of the game is as long as the overall end result is Bruce being fired on Wednesday. Honestly, we look clueless.

I agree, here's no rumors circulating or leaks from within Villa park. It's quite disturbing as it all points to the donut still being there for a while.

Two out of the last nine managers have been English. Prior to Bruce we had an Itailian and a Frenchman. Why not English?

I'm tired of Steve Bruce's excuses. Brentford had nine players on International duty last weekend.

Pardew, Really. There's a reason why he's unemployed.

Not sure why Gabby is a concern, I don't see him in first team selection . Terry is a professional and should want what is best for the team. Both are done at the end of the season anyway.

This would be a really bad idea. No managerial experience whatsoever. Experience on the pitch is one thing, being a manager is a different story.

I was never in favor of bringing in Steve Bruce, mainly because his brand of football was always to try and scrape a 1 goal win. Never once did you hear anyone say I want us to play like a Steve Bruce team. However, he managed to find success at certain teams and you can't argue with his promotions. However, I think we can all agree that his time at Villa needs to come to an end quickly. We are a team that scores very few goals, creates a minimal number of chances, and now has a defense that looks slow and vulnerable. My vote 12-months ago went to Dean Smith, and little has changed my opinion. Yes, they have struggled at the beginning of the season but it hasn't been due to poor performances. They have been in or dominated every game. If the managers and teams stayed as they were today, I would put my house on Brentford finishing above Villa AGAIN.

There is no pattern of play, the players do not express themselves and we look lethargic all over the field. What ever the coaching staff do all week with this team just isn't working. The players do not believe in what they are being asked to deliver and it shows in each and every performance. I watched Brentford and saw quick passing, players finding space, wanting the ball, and busting a gut to close down our players. That's teamwork, what we have is a mish-mash of very good players trying to play together. Very little teamwork and poor tactics. Really, one up front and why oh why do we sit so deep? Brentford looked so comfortable playing from the back, what do we do? Hoof to our young striker and hope that he he can hang on to it until one or two of our players finally get close to him. So bad.

I fully expected Brentford to play better football than us, but to be honest they outplayed us. They controlled the first half without having a real clear cut chance and then dominated the second creating three very good chances. Can we now all agree that his time should now come to an end.

So Bruce has not won a game, or scored a goal, against a Dean Smith side despite buying his best player in January and them selling the next three best to the noses. Tell me who you think is the better manager? Brentford played possession football, and carved out three of four excellent chances that should have been put away. This was all done with two players from Walsall, one from Shrewsbury, and one from Exeter, to name a few. Really, this is a low budget team that has played us off the park twice. Rarely do you see them lump it forward aimlessly. Stop messing around tell Bruce it's time to go and let's get Dean Smith down there so we can watch some exciting attacking football.

Guaranteed Brentford will be playing better football than us.

I have many problems with the Evening Mail article above. My biggest issue is with the line "He told me that he hardly sleeps during the season because of his fear of losing and I admire that about him. Now we know why he sets the team up not lose for away games. Grow some Balls Steve.

It's now three players to the Blues from Brentford. Stevie, don't think about anything but a win next week otherwise we're swapping you for Dean Smith.

Stevie, Blues have signed Brentford's two best players (Dean & Jota) in the last few days. I don't want any excuses next Saturday.

Next game should be interesting as we're playing Brentford who took 4 points off us last season. Could be an indicator to our next manager if we get a pasting like last time.

Got away with that one. That was handball.

100% agree. Look at Brentford and they are playing well, just can' hit the back of the net. Look at us, up until Saturday, and we were just really bad. There's a difference. Smith is a good manager and I would welcome him as a huge upgrade to moaning dinosaur we have now..

Same old SB. Blames everything and everybody else but himself. Isn't it his job to pick the right players and play the right system. The donut has had 10 moths to sort it out. Tell him to stop feeling sorry for himself and sort the mess out that he has created with his signings and tactics.

Burton are winning. Looks like we will officially be bottom of the league. Thanks Steve, of course you can have more time to sort it out. I mean one win in the last nine championship games gives us loads of confidence that you're on the right track. Go for it. Please fire this guy tomorrow.

Last man standing

Just watched the Norwich Press Conference. It was the most scripted pile of S@!t I think I've ever seen. It was worse that watching the US presidential debates. How about asking a few questions that he wasn't already prepared for? Honestly he is making me scream at my PC in frustration. He talks a good shag, but fails miserably when it comes to getting his c*c& out.

So the thought process here is to add more fuel to the fire that is already out of control. Let's just keep adding players until we find a mix that looks like it might work. when is he going to integrate the youth instead of buying has beens? What re you seein

Agreed, please do the deed now and give us something to look forward to this season. If not, we have 40+ games of garbage and frustration to keep us awake at night.

I will re-iterate a previous post. Dr Xia, please do not allow Steve Bruce to make any signings. His plan for the Villa consists of buying what he believes are the best players available, throwing them on the field and hoping it works. It doesn't. Look at Hogan, Dean Smith played to his strengths and he was one of the leagues top scorers. He comes here and it's like we've tied his boot laces together. I'm begging, do not allow the man to make any more signings and get rid as soon as possible.
