He had never taken a penalty before tonight and has scored 1 goal in 7 years. He can’t seriously be suggesting he was one of our penalty takers. Bolasie had just scored, he would have been buzzing, surely he should have taken it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 With the teams we've played we should pretty much be top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Got to go. The start of the second half was typical. Should have gone for the throat and there would have been no coming back. What do we do? Sit back and invite pressure. Clueless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Bye Steve, nothing against you as a person but you can't manage Villa anymore. You've had a better hand to play with then any of our previous recent managers but you still managed to fail miserably. No more excuses, just go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats not the issue here. Its that each and every week his sides are inbalanced, unsettled, just not right. Still hasnt stumbled upon a settled line up or style of play. Even the law of averages would suggest even that would have happened by now. And to be honest, for the sake of his health he needs to resign. He really looks unwell. The issue is Whelan should never have come on in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 You know when teams go 2-0 and they kill the game off by slowing the tempo, keeping the ball and seeing the game out? I wouldn't mind if we did thaf, it would be frustrating but I could take it. What **** me off was that from the first whistle in that 2nd half we just let them play. Why? They were trash and the first half was as comfortable as it gets. we just sit behind the ball, let them have it, let them pass it about for fun, we stop pressing, we don't engage, we just sit and wait for the inevitable. it defies all logic. First 5 minutes of that 2nd half I knew we were bang in trouble. I am sick of it. **** sick of it. Get the **** out of my club, you dire, gutless prick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I don't want us to sit back, even if we are one player less on the pitch. It was somehow like we got an excuse to sit back when Chester went off. Got the impression that sitting back is what we know and feel comfortable with. If we had a playing pattern, knowing what to do in attack, we could have tried that even with one down, but as we don't have that we just don't know what to do and revert to sit back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The payout is too big. I’ve said it for a while and I stand by it. He is desperate for the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I wonder which one of Bruce's mates they will cart out now. It was Holloway last week, and my guess is Iain Dowie tonight or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) No wingers again, a back 4 which ended up having THREE right backs in it and take off all the strikers to invite constant pressure. He's a joke. I hate the man. Edited October 2, 2018 by Farlz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 My prediction of us drawing tonight, losing at Millwall, and Bruce being sacked is looking good. We have the international break then, so I think they will sack him then. New man in for the Swansea game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get into insulting him, as he did bring some positives and got close to getting us up. BUT. Bang on with the rest, we're incapable of knocking it abotu and taking the sting out of a game. It's pathetic, there's teams with way way worse players than us which with some good coaching get the basics of pass and move nailed because it's ESSENTIAL to look after the ball if you want to control a game. Defending the 18 yard line against a club down the bottom 2-0 at home is beyond a joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate home as a person, I hate what he is doing to our club through his lack of ability. Time to take a break Steve,and if you would design and save our club your pay off that would be splendid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
