Its like a lottery winner buying a Porsche with no idea what it actually does. if he don't still go, we need to see some proper quality football coming out of this club. I've no doubt in my mind whatsoever, another manager could piss the league with these players. I don’t think they could, and that’s mainly because our squad is so wildly imbalanced. Bruce has sacked off a load of our defenders and not replaced them (or whoever is now responsible for transfers hasn’t replaced them). Now, it’d be much more entertaining giving the league a proper Kevin Keegan style go at it and just score a load but I don’t think Bruce can do this. So just a mash of very good attacking players who could probably overpower most teams if they had a solid defence behind them... which they don’t, as our defence (including DM) just hasn’t been improved at all. As such, I think another manager would do better and absolutely play entertaining football, but I don’t think we’ve got a squad that can piss this league - which is ridiculous as, given some of these signings, I think we could have got that fairly easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 What's surprised me is his constant irritation to getting criticised when we don't win for 3/4 games. Constant sarcastic use of "crisis" in his post match interview tonight. Guy played for Man. United for years, the exact same thing happens there when they don't win for a few games as we saw just a few weeks back so I find it odd he can't seem to handle things and that probably shows why he's never got close to managing a big club in the premier league. I would like him to save the "I told you so" post match interviews for when we actually get promoted...if he's still here of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he boasted about beating Realtherham and mentioned the "crisis" he has in his head (created by his negative tactics). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I’m very happy we’ve won and delighted that we are now only two points from second. It means that we are in a reasonably strong position to get promoted, which is what everyone wants. I don’t think for a minute that one result makes any difference to the owners opinion on the managerial position, whether that is stick or twist. But what it does mean is that they aren’t forced into taking a manager without proper planning. Perhaps they are waiting to appoint a director of football first and involve him in the process. Perhaps they can’t get who they really want right now and are prepared to wait until they can. I’d hope that those people advising them, are saying that there is no need to panic, we’re not getting cut adrift and it’s still a long way until January before we can do anything about players in or out whoever the manager is. Either way I can’t see them thinking, we really kicked Rotherham’s ass, let’s give Steve a new five year contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted September 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2018 Tonight was great. A very important three points and a very clear indication that Villa could be a dangerous team, if only we could get rid of the anchor that's dragging us back. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To outside supporters looking at the table, we'd look like a bunch of ingrates. But we know. WE KNOW. “Ingrates” would be a nice way of putting it. Raving lunatics who have completely lost any sense of perspective and balance might be more accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) This is the "lovely man" steve bruces post match comments... The most intelligent people will see through all the nonsense and realise that we’ve got the makings of a decent team,” Bruce said. “We’re Aston Villa and the expectation at the club is huge, I understand that. “But a little bit of common sense is needed because unfortunately it filters through to the mad few. Thankfully we’re back on the road again and we’re now into sixth. “Hopefully it shuts a few of them up but I doubt it.” As for debates about whether I should be in a job or shouldn’t be, I think my record speaks for itself.” Sorry steve on behalf of all us thick blind fans..
