Back to reality. Apparently. What a stupid thing for Bruce to say, of course we got carried away, of course it gave us hope. That's what the team are meant to give us you knucklehead. He is doing a Remi, he knows he is gone he just wants his paycheck so he won't walk away. This will quickly turn into last season. Ladies and gentlemen, we are truly in groundhog day. I don't care who the manager is, I really don't, as long as they try something different. Different like, Play players in their positions. Play James Bree ffs. Have more than one player attacking the box, on the rare occasion the ball finds its way in there. Get the midfielders to actually be a part of the game, When we score, trying scoring again. When it's 60 mins into the game and we haven't broken the opposition down, or they are taking the game to us make a SUBSTITUTION! don't wait for them to score and then go hell for leather for a draw in the last 5 minutes. Most of all take the shackles off these boys, they play like robots whose programmer was intoxicated when doing his job.

Skills Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 We will beat Norwich, then beat Wigan followed by a month of nothing before the doc pulls the pin... it will be too late by then. We need change asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So much negativity towards Bruce. Don't you know he's won four promotions and really knows how to get out of this league! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Enough. Make the decision and call him in the office today. Things need to change NOW not tomorrow or next week, or three more games. NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they, Brentford and others play football. That shouldn't mean you just go and set up to let them have the ball and play deep and hope for the best. We have bought a shed load of good footballers for this level and had less than a third of the ball. Ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2017 I don't know the full circumstances of Newcastles poor start to last season but I would be Interested to know if they lost narrowly and the fans could see the plan and that things were coming together or if they looked absolutely clueless and were being comprehensively outplayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So Bruce says that because Newcastle lost 2 games at the start and went up we can too ? Utter bollocks - Newcastle had Benitez and we have a clueless fool in charge - they were unlucky in both games and we were shit and totally outplayed - he is delusional - get rid now or it's too late - we are already 8 points off the top 3 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Aston villa - he sets us up to be afraid of everyone like a frightened rabbit and there is such a negativity about everything he does . we should take the game to teams not play for a draw at places like reading and Cardiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just read his comments again. I can't remember a more disrespectful and insulting set of comments from a manager before. Actually mind blowing he's had the balls to say some of the things he said. Every hour that passes I'm become more and more angry at Xia. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) If we are as tight as the club claim on the FFP then we probably can't afford to get ride off Bruce and employ a new manager Edited August 16, 2017 by roadoftrinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I was hoping to wake up to him having resigned, but he actually seemed quite chipper in the post-game interview. Hopefully Tony sacks him but the resulting negative media reaction again will be unbearable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I didn't think Bruce would unravel this quickly into the season or this badly. I'd say most Villa fans after the way we finished last year were sceptical he would be able to get us up as the football was that bad but we needed a summer of stability and personally I thought with that we'd look a better more organised and a more cohesive team. That's not happened. I cant see him turning this around now. 23 passes in a half of football is a joke if that stat is true. His comments after the game bare no resemblance of what we watched.The players look like strangers how can he change that when we play every 3/4'days? Can anyone who wants Bruce to stay give me any positive reasons as to why he should? Not there's no one out there or we can't keep starting again. To me we are worse off now than when RDM got the push. Any decent manager could do better with our sqaud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
