Zatman Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I dont think Tony is the most patient of owners from the outside and performances like that and Norwich might put him under pressure soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I don't think SB is under pressure tbh. I think Dr T rates him highly and knows there really isn't anybody better at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2017 Him being under pressure from the owner like that is enormously wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves more time but I do believe Rowett would have been a better choice and the fact he has brought Agbonlahor back does make me question his judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Villa fans have got a bit of a reputation these days for being impatient and quick to judge managers and going by this thread that's absolutely deserved. There are definitely things Bruce hasn't done as well as I'd like but the talk of getting rid if just madness on multiple levels. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 As much as I'm disappointed with Bruce I'd also be disappointed if he was under pressure, shifting the dark cloud that hangs over us isn't his job alone ross McCormack looks like he's parked up on easy street in the same way that the majority of our signings had done in the previous 3 years however at the same time one of the factors in there being a cloud over us is currently spending 90 minutes every week jogging round mis controlling passes and getting paid £40k a week for the pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to a large part his faith in RDM - apparently based mainly on his possession of an MBA - that has placed us in the mess we now experience. He needs to give SB the chance to bring in a few players of his own and see if he can get better performances from a more sensibly balanced squad.

skarroki Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 In my opinion any manager worth his salt would be hiring a small army of sport psychologists to live and work with each player and staff member individually for a period of time. They are all players that, based on form at other clubs, could play for any team in this division. We have a manager who is known for getting teams promoted. It's got to be more than just a silly curse or club mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think he deserves more time but why the **** has he not bought anyone yet??? Whose fault is it that we are 2 weeks into January and have done nothing to counter the AFCON situation and rather than bring a new striker in he sold the only one we had left! I'm not yet at the point of calling for a change but the longer we go on playing like **** and playing Gabby up front, the more difficult it is to back him.

But who knows if that's down to Bruce, the owner or other clubs not willing to sell. Players in Jan are supposedly difficult to get so I highly doubt it's down to lack of willingness on our part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Bruce is under pressure now he needs his own signings in asap. Tshibola was taken off after 60 mins today, imagine if Gardner or Westwood start the next home game against Preston, Daniel Johnson dominates the midfield and we fail to get anything from the game i can see the crowd starting to turn. Lansbury won't be enough we need two new CM's in before that game can score goals and create chances. I don't buy some on here treating Lamberk like some sort of tactical mastermind. We played right into his hands and made him look good which we shouldn't have done because we should all know by now that he sets his teams up to play high press counter attacking football. Wolves played with a high line today for a majority of the game because they could afford to, we had a fat lump of shite up front alongside a massively out of form striker with a hole in midfield with acres of space that they could just walk through from the back. h Having Hutton and Bacuna as attacking outlets losing the ball all the time didn't help. The clock is ticking sort it out Dr Xia please. Edited January 14, 2017 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 If we can't find players who are better than what we have, then our scouting system must be really, really, bad. He deserves more time but the way our club destroys managers maybe he shouldn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Very worrying that he can't seem to get any real effort or organisation out of the players. What is Bruce's preferred XI or or preferred tactic or preferred formation? Who knows it seems to change every week. Find a plan and stick to it and then we can see if it's good enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
