Demitri_C Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 He must be getting annoyed at the slow start this team usually does. Be good if we can actually score within a few minutes for once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Not a big fan of what he's said in the media regarding the timing of tomorrow's game. hoping it's just to take the pressure off the players but it won't be an excuse in my book.

Rodders Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 What are you expecting away gainst the team who are currently the 2nd/3rd best team, in the league? Objectively it's one of the toughest fixtures and more likely to lose than others. On paper of course. I think we CAN win of course but a point would also be a decent result. And if we lose narrowly it'll be disappointing as it always is but not a disaster. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brighton win its very unlikely we will be able to catch them, so if anyone has any hopes of automatic promotion a loss would be very harmful. A draw would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Maybe poaching Hughtons Assist. Man. is enough to completely derail them for the rest of the season, if that were the case, we could gift-wrap them the 3 pts for all I care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post carewjust4u Posted November 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2016 Can I just say for the first time in almost half a decade I actually look forward to watching our team play, and I have Brucey and Xia to thank for that. I've become so used to watching half-arsed players play a tactically poor game plan, for a manager that really doesn't have a clue. It's so refreshing to have a manager I actually respect in both a personal and professional context and actually has the required credentials to manage a club such as this. I almost feel as if I forgot the feeling of watching a team with an actual identity with players that have a suited role within that system. Really enjoying all the positivity coming out of the dressing room at the moment and we actually have players I actually really enjoy watching (Ayew, Kodjia, Chester ect)....and i still feel this team hasn't even gotten out of third gear. Apologies for the optimism out the blue, but i'm off to Brighton this afternoon and for once i'm in a really good mood for the football and thought i'd share. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post and we need more posts like this. The positive vibes from the fans reflects on the club, manager and players. We are finally turned the corner (even if we lose tonight no shame) and its great to have our Aston Villa back. Xia made a mistake hiring RDM he didnt mess about removed him and replaced him with a much more experienced and better manager. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted November 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2016 Served up some more of his dull uninspiring football again. Also completely out thought by one of those young progressive managers who has got his team on fire at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted November 18, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2016 Looking like an absolutely top drawer manager so far. We look fitter, more solid, and more comfortable on the ball than we have since O'Neill. I'm suitably impressed so far. Keep it up! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 2nd half was the best half of football i've seen villa play this season. We did everything but score, Stockdale saved them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mantis Posted November 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2016 3 wins and 3 draws in his first 6 games. With a fixture list that included 2 local derbies and Brighton away that isn't bad going at all. Under Di Matteo we'd have been lucky to get 5 points from that run-in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Fantastic start under him. Has a system, knows his players, knows how to implement what he wants. Still unsure about this Gabby thing, but I'll continue to back Bruce while he's getting us playing this this and getting results. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
