rodders0223 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 On another night it could have been oh so different. A flashed shot wide, a Gollini save. ...but you know what? We deserved that bit of luck. It wasn't spectacular but it rarely is at this point. We need to use this, take this momentum, get 3 points from Fulham...it doesn't have to be pretty and keep up some form of momentum until January. Where we can ship a few out and ship a few in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team that finished bore no resemblance to the team he picked. Dodgy selections at full back, dodgy selections in the middle and no Ayew . Ayew comes on and guess what we look threatening. A last minute penalty does not disguise the fact we were poor for most of the match and his team selections were crap. i am , however, delighted we have won we need more of those to keep us away from relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not won games with teams that you, me and others have liked. He set us up, he made changes and after 90 minutes we have a win.

Midfielder Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have had no access to the score, commentary, nothing until sitting down a moment ago. Jesus bleedin Christ. 3 points. an away win. Congrats Brucey I hope this is the start of more to come. 4 points from your first 6 available. To be honest I was not expecting to see us the winner come full time and fair play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 There are, shall we say, 'observations' one could make, but all for another time. It simply can't be underestimated how important a fairly quick win was going to be. Congratulations Bruce on somehow getting a Win, and an away one at that. Well done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StanBalaban Posted October 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2016 The result is so much more important than the performance tonight. That dressing room can maybe start to believe that the luck is on their side. That they can win an away game. Any game, for that matter. Hopefully this can kick-start our season. 2 wins off the play-offs as it happens. i believe that Bruce set us up, not to play football as such, but to be effective in chasing a result. He had a plan and it came off - perhaps fortuitously, but came off nonetheless. Here's hoping the players can believe that another 3 points at the weekend is more than possible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had dodgy selections all over the park today we would have lost against a decent Reading team playing at home. It's not like we were battered the total shots and shots on target stats were pretty equal. Bruce picked the right team to win the game.... Because we won the game.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37614900 Quote Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce: "I have to pay special mention to the supporters in the last 10 minutes. I think they breathed life into the lads. "They've had a tough time and we've got to try and restore a bit of belief and that's all we've done tonight. "It's nice to win a game late on as the previous management lost 10 points from goals conceded in the last minute of games. If they hadn't done, I probably wouldn't be here. "I've been given the privilege to manage this club and I've now got to do my best to turn this juggernaut around. "Let's hope this can be the first of a few wins and we can get this season back up and running again." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man acknowledges he's been given a privilaged position. I would rather that any day than someone who feels he's doing us a favor by being here or waiting to pick up his severance pay. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
