JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, andym said: Big game for Bruce next weekend. Sheffield Utd are now reverting to what they really are - a newly promoted team who were playing way way above their level due to good work by their manager on the training pitch and players busting a gut to make an impression in this league. They haven't won in 5 and have lost 4 of those (the other being a draw at home to Blues), so there should be no excuse for failing to get 3 points. They haven't won in 5 and as you say "reverting to what they are" as you say. Yet we are level on points :/ Do you see the problem here? Or are we indeed about to "revert" to something else? Or are we a good team playing way under our level due to .......... work by our manager? Or we just "fickle?"

terrytini Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So in his after match comments he says he has to find a way to get Grealish in the side without upsetting the balance ....? Yet he previously said that Grealish getting injured was a massive blow because everything we’d practiced pre- season revolves around Grealish. Hmmmmm...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Like for his promotion record he has never won the Championship and by my memory never been close to it. The only reason he is still here is because of that record and if gets us up we will go straight back down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two very very wide attacking midfielders. Hoof the ball up the pitch. What's going on? We've been accused of hoofball, of "bypassing the midfield". But when your entire team is midfielders, no-one can make that accusation. So that's okay, then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure of managing a bigger club is too much for him. He is way too negative. The league is very poor. Any team with the advantages that we have should be neck and neck with Wolves. We are miles behind. I would sack him now. Every game in the Championship is a massive opportunity to gain 3 points. Bruce approaches all of them as though they are going to be a battle. As if any point is really hard won. It’s a nonsense. Teams cannot defend. Attack them and you will create chances all day long. How many chances do we create?.......Not very many. Why? Because we do not try to! I want a manager to sit in a press conference on a Friday and be positive. Say we are Aston Villa. We are going to attack for 90 minutes. Good luck to the opposition if they can cope with that, because we are coming for them from the off. Instead we get the same old nonsense. Milwall are a really strong side......Yawn!!!! There are no easy games.......Yawn. Funny how all of the games that Wolves play seem so easy! It’s utter garbage. We need some positivity. A bit of positivity could bring momentum that would take us all the way back to the top half of the premiership. It will not happen under Bruce, so why wait! Get rid now! I am bored!

So Whelan is not avarage ? and you think we’ll comfortably finish in the top six - do tell on what basis you think this may happen? Because right now I figure it’s pretty much in the melting pot as to whether or not we make the play -offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Maybe the club can't sack him because they can't afford the compensation? Either way If we fail to get a win in December and fall out the play offs a big decision will have to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because right now I figure it’s pretty much in the melting pot as to whether or not we make the play -offs Whelan is above average at this level. But again that wasn't the point I was making. So you've missed the point too. Yes I think we'll finish in the top 6. We're on a crap run of form and we're still in 5th. If that form continues all season then obviously we won't finish in the playoffs. But I don't think it will. As players come back from injury and we make a couple of January signings I think we'll pick back up to the kind of form we were showing a few weeks back. That's below expectations. I think we should be in the top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be too confident but we’d have a chance. if the likes of derby are the 'quality' we're facing in the playoffs i'm confident. 2 goals out of nothing yesterday and i would be confident of a fully fit villa beating them over 2 legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
