So I hope Bruce turns it around and we fire our way to promotion. But equally I don't think its very likely. Not to defend Bruce - but I have a horrible feeling that something isn't quite right at Aston Villa behind the scenes. Sure lose the next two and bruce falls on his sword - but I can't help feeling that won't solve much. Of course I agree the best thing would be Bruce sorting it....as you say whenever he goes it'll be a tall order for anyone else. Thats why since I am certain he won't do it the sooner goes the better. I can see why some dont want him gone, no problem. But anybody who has been saying he MUST go must logically want a defeat - he won't get sacked off the back of wins even if they are poor performances.

With the squad we have I don't think its a tall order at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need every point we can get towards promotion. What's your thinking then ? We Win and they still sack him ? Not going to happen is it ? If you want him gone ASAP you can't want a win !!

He will be judged based on the past 10 months which on the whole have been dire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being as he has already had most of last of last season as well to turn things around he shouldn't be afforded the same amount of games as RDM this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 With all the Bruce out chat, we seem to have missed that our possession over the last 3 games has been 51% v Hull, 59% v Colchester and 65% v Cardiff. We're winning the possession! WINNING! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I have a nasty feeling he will go with a 5-4-1 formation tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richp999 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Reading Bruce's pre match nonsense : “I will maybe look at different personnel or a different formation again. Maybe we’re not ready to play strikers again. I will look at all of those things.' WTF does that mean? Is he saying we are so bad we are actually going to be so defensive as to play with no strikers at all? How the he'll are we going to score goals with this attitude?

Drop deep. Everyone behind the ball. Nobody move. Nobody press. Nobody gamble. Nobody go beyond their man. Hopefully Kodjia scores a goal. Oh..

But players as young as O'Hare are still developing. Playing reserve games is part of that. He played in the last two games, and he'll play in plenty of games going forward if he keeps his performance levels up. Bruce shouldn't be slated for letting a young player play football. He's not - we just would like to see him gain minutes for the first team ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still angry have been since January OT - may I take this chance to apologise to anyone who felt my anger was aimed at them personally. However, I'm still sooooo angry I play Golf tomorrow and I'm sure I will hit that poor white little ball to smithereens.
