Dave-R Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Have a feeling Bruce is here to stay unless he starts drifting us towards relegation, then i can see chanting turning to pitch invasions. Maybe that's what's needed, pitch invasions to get the owners ears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Copied and pasted. Villa start with 2 strikers and no wingers. They finish with 2 wingers and no strikers. WHY? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2018 We’re stuck with him until the international break I think. I think the performance, along with the supporters turning will not have gone unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 "I won't walk away from a challenge" Credit to him, he's absolutely taken Aston Villa to the cleaners. He's made so much money off us and produced utter bilge with zero to minimum effort. It will be so much more enjoyable watching Cowans and Delaney on the sideline. Better chance of getting promoted as well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we lose the Preston game, in which case I think it would be earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2018 He's just got to go. Today we briefly enter the top half of the table but will sink further tomorrow. 1 win in 9? Each match is a carbon copy of the previous. Just pot luck if we get a goal or not. You could argue for his past record or stability if it looked like we were playing well, on the cusp of improving, playing well but being unlucky but none of that is happening. The hugely talented squad look amateurish, like they've never played together before. We struggle at the back to contain average teams, we struggle to create, we cannot keep possession. Someone said in the match thread that we completely fail to control anyone aspect of the game and that is absolutely right and damning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity we couldn't do it now fella so that new manager if they have anyone in mind could access the squad then have the international break to get to work properly!

Uncle Albert Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 If he doesnt go by tomorrow i will seriously start to question whats going on at board level, these clever businessmen in charge surely can see whats right in front of them, hes making a fool out of them. Bruce has pressed the big red button and were drifting into oblivion. Something needs to happend asap to get us back in track this is beyond a joke now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Surely there must have been some minimum requirements for him to keep his job when the new owners came in. He must have spun quite a yarn to have convinced them he was the right man in the first place, but they have to see that we are going nowhere with Bruce in charge. He wants time that he shouldn't have to get the team playing together. His one and only objective is to get us promoted and he will fail again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it took a good while for us with all that possession to start actually in the second half to fire a shot off, it was like the whole midfield was in stasis and took some miracle to move again. Surely the owners want some exciting football, I would rather Bruce actually take some risks here and try new things he hasn't before. He seems to be relying on a childs formation play book at the moment. I think Kodjia should start and at halftime bring Abraham on fresh. With Abraham though our midfield need to shoot way more, we need a shooting team, its like alot of our playwrs are scared to shoot, abraham seems good at picking up rebounds, cant score off any if our troops dont bloody shoot.
