What the **** was he doing in the goal

Hes Villa so I'm not arsed if he meant it or not.

He played well, was commanding and really put his stamp on the game. Got a good feeling about this one.

Fantastic, another nothing player.

Purely speculation on my part, but with the coaching staffs emphasis on video analysis and breaking down phases of play, and what could be improved - it wouldn’t surprise me if we used this in our favour. 

By this, I mean clipping up Wolves attacking play, against ours and discussing the strength in our play to suit TA’s game in comparison to how Wolves play. Highlighting the lower chance of scoring opportunities for him in their system. 

I think if coaches actually did that he'd leave.

Is he? 

He is

Rowett, Smith, Moore - don't matter who they're managing, they all love the Villa. No one can hide it. 

Big Dave..is a villa fan, Big Dave....is a villa fan, Big Dave...is a villa fan. 

What the **** was that freekick from grealish at the end?! Everyone in the box, crosses causing them nightmates all game and it's a 30 yard cross field ball for Glenn bloody Whelan to hit on the volley. 

Awful

Old Spaghetti arms at it again.

What a **** clown

I hate Neil taylor

Just googled the team from that game

 

------------------------Bosnich

------------Small, McGrath, Teale

Charles-----------------------------------Staunton

 

-----------Taylor, Townsend, Johnson

 

--------------------Saunders, Yorke

 

I may have the formation wrong as it's before I would have taken much notice of tactics and that. I don't really remember Bryan Small apart from his name.
But what a team  

 

Love that team.

Was my first ever game. I remember being excited to see Tommy Johnson and Gary Charles who we'd just signed , think it might of been Charles' debut actually and he looked quality down the right.

Also remember Hans Seger in front of me in the second half in front of the Holte. He got done for match fixing a few months later and always wondered after that if he'd let a few in that day.

btw, when he says "sensible" he means you can sense it, not that it isn't daft.

Good to know.

That and saying he was a child in the 1990's got me worried.

I liked how business-like he was. He wasn’t interested in any of the dream come true / massive club / should be in the premier league bollocks, he just came across as determined and focused on the task in front of him. The impression I got was of a nice guy who doesn’t stand for any f**king around.

When is the presser?

4pm

It's like 2am in the club now.

We need to stop pissing about and give Dean Smith the gig.

Rui Faria with Mourinho as assistant would do for me.

In his whole career he's never been managed by a coach with a modicum of tactical nous. The new man will give him the opportunity to develop in that regard.

That's not excusing him for his shit displays this season and the lethargy of his play. He's been very frustrating. But you'd fully expect him to kick on under a slightly more cultured approach to the game.

We’ll get spanked with that defensive shambles left by Bruce and ironically the media will use it to say how wrong we were to get rid of him.

"Certainly for someone like him, I'm surprised he knew what a cabbage was"

Even his insults are shite and make no sense.

Get him out.

Whelan on penalties. This club is a circus right now. 

Pretty much sums in it up and in many ways it's a fitting end to Bruce's Villa career

People ask him to try something new, and when he does, we get comments like this.  He just can't win. 

Yeah...he just can't win. That's the problem.

So to be clear. 

Dean Smith is essentially rubbish.  Anyone could do his job because the system is what wins the games. 

The players are essentially rubbish and so long as they fit into the system, regardless of their ability the system will win the games. 

I DON'T BUY IT. 

Not saying he is the man for the job but I just don't believe some magical system allows managers with little talent to manage on autopilot and average players hugely over acheived because of some system. 

If it was the case everyone would do it. 

It's all just sound bytes in my opinion. 

He just puts the cones out, does the interviews and every week pressses the big red button on the computer which sorts out the week's tactics and the training.

Oh yeah and when he plays us he tells the players he's a big Villa fan so they play extra well for him.

The damage is being done now. November - December is a ridiculously tough schedule for us and we need points on the board. It'll be another wasted season for us which is madness with the players we have. Even Abraham was losing his shit yesterday in the 2nd half, telling players to calm down and pass the **** ball. These players must arrive and be shocked at the level of play when they get here, it's embarrassing at times.
