Normally I wouldn't bother factoring cup games in but they (rightly) put out a strong(ish) side in both games against Swansea, and ran them close! That’s all true but NV stated Championship games, not cup. And that would mean including 2 games against Premier League opposition !! And of course if you include the Cup we’ve not won 4 in a row !! Now, I’ve no problem if people want to use that information to make a case, but there are different ways of viewing it and it’s definitely NOT the same as the OP !

Ironically after 3-1 I was saying under my breath. close it down, close the ******* thing down, I looked over at the bench and Bruce was waving them forward.......I thought how ironic is that. I'm not interested in point scoring, we all make our points.....and even now I can only speculate as to whats gone right, but that all it is. We just need to keep our nerve ( especially if we lose) and keep going game by game and hope we carry on winning. Its all about consistency and the team in the top 6 now that ecks that out will be the ones going up. I’m not sure about point scoring ......he is finally doing what many wanted all along and, as you say, it is now clearer that’s what he is doing. It can only be tonour benefit and long may it continue ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) How anyone can state with any certainty our current form is or isn’t related to Agnew ( or Grealish ? Or Terry ? Or Hogan ? Or the weather ? Or Bruce ? Or wee willy Winky, is beyond me !! Some must have incredible insight ! It could be one, all, or none of these surely ? Im just glad we look a formidable prospect lately.

That's the job, the coaching staff and the players implement his grand plan. I've said in another thread we've all the right tools to succeed, to not lose another game all season even, but you still have to put it together on a match day. He's doing that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combination of many things which are all coming good at the right time - if we can keep our key players fit then we are going to take some stopping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a beautiful car but it' covered in pink spots spray paint it black and it could look awesome. Agnew just seems like the icing on the cake and maybe the reason everything seems rosier is because he has joined? I don't doubt for a second that he's helped, perhaps significantly too but for those apportioning all the kudos to him for our recent 'revival' whilst ignoring SB's ongoing contributions I just find it a bit sad and pathetic. The lengths people will go to avoid having to admit that perhaps they were wrong is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full credit to Bruce at the moment, its looking like i was wrong to doubt him but its not proven to be yet. Some people may not have seen enough to admit they were wrong, rather than avoid it because they are embarrassed. Just out of curiosity, when did you admit you were wrong and announced it?

Popular Post Eastie Posted January 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2018 Not sure it’s a case of whose right or wrong - Bruce got slated on occasions by many including me for the results and performances we saw at times , equally he is rightly receiving praise and plaudits for things going well - there has been a marked improvement and I’m sure all villa fans are delighted by this upturn . full credit to Bruce and his staff . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s only the last 2 they’ve not scored....which is something but not as good as 3 ! Somehow I managed to read the Brentford and Bristol City results as defeats. I need more sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to note, though, that they've only won 2 of their last 6 league games and haven't scored in the last 3... It's not over yet. Wolves recent form for some reason has gone largely unnoticed. Not by me..... or you though Edited January 22, 2018 by Villan_of_oz Just saw the post above, not as bad as I thought. Maybe cos I've had a wager on them when they haven't won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just saying in response to wolves not beating Swansea over 2 games that Bristol city beat a very strong Man U side the other week and pushed city all the way too- there is some quality in this division and the gap in quality between the top 6 in this league is not that much to the bottom 10 of the premier league we have the chance now for Bruce to lead us back to the top league and there’s a good feeling in the club again .

Ah, you meant premier league? You said premiership, which has been the wrong name fur that league for over ten years. Hence the confusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
