He kept us up in the league and got us to a final, as for the players he signed the French lads werent his. Just to clarify by no means do I want Sherwood back, I dont actually disagree with you on his talents. I merely have Bruce on the same level as him, my point was at least with Tim we tried to win games and this was in the top flight. With Bruce we try to not lose games and this is with the better players in the championship playing Burton If he was so good why have no championship sides appointed him? Even his previous club Blackburn didn't want him. Where is he now? Oh yeah that's right flopping at swindon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Anyone that claims that Steve Bruce is at the same level as Tim Sherwood knows absolutely nothing about the game of football. These people should ignored/avoided at all cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was that you were saying about blind faith or something or nonsense? I think the goals were more evenly spread when Sherwood was manager. We are very much more a one man team now imo. Yes others have play their part but without Kodjia we would now be battling against relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Villa - Well I think hes been a failure, we got a few wins on the trot and that has taken the spot light of him, incorrectly in my view. So of the 8 jobs excluding Villa he failed at 5 of them. The only thing this shows is hes clearly on the merri go round Not that impressive, is it ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes others have play their part but without Kodjia we would now be battling against relegation. Would we? How about 2 goals conceded in 10? Without kodjia, we wouldn't be where we are now, but I think we would be lower mid table. We won at Wigan without him scoring, we were 1-0 up at Rotherham without him scoring. Theres also no saying whoever was in his place wouldn't score? Sherwood openly admitted he played for benteke and any dribs and drabs off him. I don't think that style would appease some of the fans on here. Its a crap argument anyway (not from you) because sherwood was genuinely a chancer while Bruce has actually got credentials!

I'd say majority so yes. Sheffield united (not Sheffield) have only just got promoted many years later. Wigan are heading down to league 1, Birmingham could still go down to league 1, Sunderland are virtually relegated, hull (although Marco silva has done a remarkable job) oils still go down. The arguments, based on this, could easily be that he was overachieving at these clubs. But I won't let that get in the way of your agenda! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying if we don't agree with your point of view we are not proper fans? There are some posters on here who simply don't rate Bruce, I have yet to see a full 90 minutes of football where I can see what he is trying to achieve, what the plan is, for us to look like we might pose a real threat to the opposition, I genuinely cannot see from his signings what he is trying to achieve. Be in no doubt I want us promoted, my feeling is that we will see more of the same next season under Bruce and I am not sure it will be enough and if we fail to gain promotion next season we will be in big trouble. I hope you are right and I am wrong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there have been some fans who use any bad result as a way to overly criticise Bruce. For example, in the match thread yesterday there was someone (who has openly admitted he doesn't watch many games and merely goes off stats), within seconds of us conceding, posted something along the lines of glad he was being proven right. Now for me that clearly shows an agenda against Bruce rather than having a constructive concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 For all his weak points, I actually have faith in Bruce to not buy,complete dross. Especially complimented by our owner and set up. Potential players will finally be able to come into a steady amd positive Villa again. As long as they are banned from VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus where did I say he was good, I never once said Tim was a good manager, I said he would have tried to win against Burton something Bruce doesnt try, his mandate is not to lose at all cost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
