Eastie Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I can see both sides of the argument - I’d be inclined to stick with Bruce but if he does leave I could totally see why and would be supportive of either decision . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1874 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'd sack him now and get steve cotteril in - the new manager 'bounce' will see us through to 2nd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 On 15/03/2018 at 12:38, Lerner's Driver said: Let's be honest, that feeling is not one particularly attributable to Aston Villa under Steve Bruce, rather it is: (a) A distinct possibility for almost every club, given the fragile nature of player confidence/team form and the potential impact of those factors on a club's direction of travel/status and... (b) You expressing the understandable 'Villa are going f*** it up again' mentality - it's entirely forgivable, but also something that impairs our judgment of the circumstances surrounding our club, I would say. If I am right, then I'd have to say your feeling doesn't provide enough persuasive evidence to get rid of Steve Bruce. Well that's your opinion which of course you are entitled to hold.

That would be plain foley in my opinion TRO - if he does not deliver the goods this season - on what basis does he deserve to stay - ? I don't want us lingering around this league for a moment longer than necessary - despite us doing well at this moment and I won't be taking anything away from all concerned - SB just does not inspire me to the point that makes me feel he can take the club forwards and back to where we want to be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 This isn’t a dig at Bruce as such but every tom dick and Harry spoke about how mental it was having only one left back in the whole squad. We got lucky that a RB ended up doing a better job than our LB but seriously how can you start a season in that position and then not strengthen it in January? I get FFP and no money etc but are things really that hard up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During which he brought in 10 (ish) new players? And who’s playing LB for U-23? Who cares let’s put two DM’s on the bench. Sorry, this (among other things) lands at Bruce’s doorstep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
