sne Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) So a few months of off season under Steve Bruce, turning the loan signing for Johnstone into a permanent one and McCormack coming back from rehab is going to turn a team currently 18 points from the play offs into a sure thing for promotion next season? Really hope you guys are right, but so far I've seen no signs what so ever that we are developing into an actual team or that Bruce has a plan, long term or short term. I just wan't next season to be over, as either we'll be promoted or we'll have a new manager. Edited April 23, 2017 by sne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We need four signings for the immediate first team, a keeper, a centre half, a left winger and a central midfielder. Johnstone can **** right off he is utter, utter shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alakagom Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) But I clearly remember 90% of the forum claiming we were gonna walk the league after our 3-0 win against Roterham in gameweek 2 Oh well, hopefully we are bit more prepared now to challenge for playoffs.

Absolutely embarrassing. I think I could have stomached a serious, but ultimately unsuccessful push for the play offs under Bruce, but he couldn't even muster that. Shit manager and too many shit players on massive wages at this club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By some amazing twist of fate I have not seen Villa lose this season. I missed all the home games we lost. So on that basis miles better than last season and all the gallows humour. Still not good enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still in the gutter, but looking at the stars True, but we needed / will need next year- only 4 more defeats to be looking at Relegation, whereas we needed / will need about 10 more Wins to look at Promotion ... We are closer to the bottom than the top, sadly....had the Blues won the Derbies we'd have finished level with them . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Quote Aston Villa edged within three points of the Championship play-off zone after leaving it late to beat manager Steve Bruce's old club Wigan Athletic. Jack Grealish struck a late winner, firing home a right-foot shot from outside the box into the top right corner in the 88th minute. A fourth successive home victory moved Bruce's Villa side up to 12th, while the Latics remain second bottom. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38192217 In my mind we never really got close to the play offs and I remember attending this game, but I can't remember that we actually got this close. Damn, we really **** it in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, we really **** it in January. When you look at that table, it really shows how solid the teams in the playoffs at that stage must have been and the benchmark we need to follow, because they all made it. Barring the Leeds/Fulham switch which was down to remarkable form from Fulham. We need to be pretty relentless just for the playoffs, we weren't.
