Ha, Huttons popular with the noses as well.

Sunday park pitch

Mixed reception for Bruce. Might be different when we're 4-0 up by half time.

My personal preference is that we never play them ever. 

Mines that they go out of business and that shithole becomes a new Aldi, but I don't suppose it will ever happen.

Its they who'll be nervous, not us. Who actually plays for them these days anyway...anyone we know?

Dirty incestuous retards

Can't remember, do we need innoculations?

That same "temple of impending Doom" that has yet to suffer defeat this season

The very same, surprisingly.

Villa Parks a different animal altogether. Temple of Impending Doom and Gloom rather than the lmpenetrable fortress it used to be.

Got to turn it round sometime, though.

Already, Bruce is a lot more hands on during the game. More animated, more involved. I think, if anything, this is what he brings to the table, whereas Garde and RDM were almost invisible with their low key styles.

Could have been a worse start. A win might just settle the nerves and allow him time to develop a half-decent side.

Are we still in transition?

Was that our good half or our bad half? 

Quick, sit back and defend the goal...................oh.

Woh that was'nt part of the plan.

Could have lost that by a mile. Thankfully, it was'nt a typical 'Bruce' performance, so I hope he has taken stock of the problems therein. Confidence is a key issue, or maybe self-belief, but he has to identify the root of the problem and fix it fast.

On the other side of the coin, if Kodjia had only slipped that pass to McScoremack..................

Cissokho always looks gobsmacked. 

Scrappy but one or two encouraging signs. Adomah looks very lively.

If he really can get this lot believing in themselves, stand back and watch the fireworks. By his own admission, this is potentially the best squad he's had at his disposal and a chairman who is no skinflint. Its not a 'Bruce' thing, any manager who could convince our players they were invincible would have one hell of a side.

Its just whether he can do it and be 'allowed' to do it.

Same old posters with the same old negative crap. Bruce is a perfect fit for Villa at this time for the some purpose of getting back into the PL and the ££££££'s that go along with it. What do people care if he's sacked in the PL if Villa are back in there. Gambling on wildcards who may not get Villa there would be a far riskier appointment. 

Anybody saying they would take more seasons in the Championship to 'develop' are taking rubbish, they are the same posters slagging off the club and players on a weekly/daily basis. 

If Bruce suave, nicely dressed and wasn't butt ugly with his record of promotions from this league then more people would be raving for him. People are that fickle. 

The same people bringing up his poorer signings won't mention his good ones and if his signings were all that bad he wouldn't have won so many promotions. Take your head out of your backsides. 

 

 How dare you talk common sense on here!    

If he walks in and hands Gabby a broom he will certainly go up in a few peoples estimation.

He will always be Potato Head, whether he fails miserably or wins us the bloody Champions League. If he can take that as its intended and roll with it, then he'll do ok. I'll never like him, but then I don't have to, but if he does good things for Aston Villa then he'll have earned my respect.

Above all, we need to buck the recent trend and give him a fair enough crack of the whip.
