Killeen30 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Chester is a good defender. He plays to a much higher standard when he has an all action leader of a defender beside him. He doesn’t have that, he has a bloody defensive midfielder. Bruce needed to purchase or loan a good quality centre back like so. Gareth McAuley, John Terry etc. Failing to do this will cost us. No matter how good and exciting out midfield and forward line can possibly be with what we had on top of some good loans, the defence will be our let down this season. For this error, and a very average start to the season points wise (performances have in my opinion worse than average) he will be gone soon. I’ve been behind Bruce since he came here but I just knew today we were going to get beat, although not at the level we did. Time for a change. Who comes in? Moyes, Big Sam, Dean Smyth, Henry or other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Bruce: “I can understand their frustration. It was only two weeks ago they were saying it’s the best we’ve seen Aston Villa playing for years. We will get better the longer it goes. I’m convinced at that.” Good point Steve. One good game playing decent football that appears to be a complete fluke and you can bank that for another 12 months in charge. We will get better than a 4-1 loss to Sheff Utd the longer it goes? I'm so pleased with your positive outlook I can't wait for that day to come. So in the next game when we lose 3-1 you can say that we are getting better. We have a PL squad and a League Two manager. Needs to go tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 And the best we've played was in regards to that first half against Brentford. It soon evaporated and proved a one off. Back to looking clueless and uninspired. No leg to stand on im afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Can't believe he just dunked on himself again by once again bringing up the fact that we all thought the mediocre football we played against Brentford was by far the best football we played under him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe he’s lost the dressing room and I reckon most of the players probably like him as he attracts some great signings and a lot of the time it seems to be thanks to him. That being said, for me he absolutely has to go. In terms of tactics, selections and performances, I have nothing to add that hasn’t already been said. I’d rather a load of no names who fit a system then billy big wages like McCormack, Lansbury, Elmo, Jedinak, Hogan, Taylor. We’ll be paying their wages for years and won’t get anywhere near the fees we paid for them. **** retarded policy at the club, as per usual. Loaning out Elphick BEFORE we’ve got a replacement in?! Jesus wept that’s the sort of mistake you make in a video game, not real life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 "Put your boots on." "Roll your sleeves up" No Steve, football is about more than good intentions and effort, and management is about training, teaching, and giving people the tools and knowledge to perform. **** RIGHT OFF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) “Anyone but me, if it was up to me, we’d be winning. But the players don’t play, the fans don’t understand, the grass was the wrong colour and the kit is a little bit too tight. Oh and the floodlights got in our eyes and their fans were really very nasty to us, but it’s not my fault”. Thais image sums it up, he'll be ringing his media mates up now as we speak Edited September 1, 2018 by Ingram85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Again, where's the football from the Brentford game gone? Same when we destroyed the Wolves last season. We have the quality, its there for all to see, the inconsistency of it all baffles me. He will never change this, which is why he needs to go, he has hit his limit. Personally, I think he knows he's on his way. I would guess things have been said behind the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will have told him he had the games up to this break to prove himself - I’d hope the owners have now decided that he is clearly not the man to manage the club . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 6 minutes ago, Villan4Life said: Wow, just wow Exactly what someone else said, it was the best we've played since HE has been here. It's over a season of football that they were making that comment about! How long do we have to wait to be better? Until the points gap grows so far that we cannot make it up, like the first half dozen or so games of last season? Has he not learnt anything from last season? Sorry, it's now time to realise that Bruce has peaked in his past and he's simply not up to the job of returning Villa to the top flight. The owners need to work hard now at finding someone to replace him ASAP. However, the new guy needs to be able to get an attacking lineup to score lots of goals because that back five is going to concede at least one goal per game.

Needs to go tonight. Also given just how **** we were the season we went down, 11 people off the terraces and a couple of jumpers for goalposts would have been an improvement. Plus a better turd is still a turd. And also isn't he slightly missing the irony of the fact that he has been in charge for a lot of that time now? The other day they were saying that we were less **** than we have been at any point I have been in charge..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
