First half was an improvement at least. A couple more, Kodjia back and some time to gel and we should be ready to compete from the start of next season for a promotion campaign.

[Godders]

Positives:

Still unbeaten at home

Should good play to race into a 2-0 lead in the first half

We didn't lose.

[Farlz]

We are shit

[VillanousOne]

I am sick of everyone blaming the past, i don't want Bruce to leave and I still think he will get things right, but I still believe he could be doing better and we haven't made any sustained improvement under him.

lets hope the rest of the new signings in this window make a difference, but all the while we rely on Gabby and Westwood we are done.

Fair play Phumfeinz, you totally nailed it. 

[Ingram85]

1 step forward, 2 steps back every week at the moment. So frustrating. Bruce needs to sort this out sharpish. Gabby, while not doing anything to hinder the team outright continues to carry the non eventful almost invisible form of the last 6 years. The continued pickingnof him is just bizarre. Play Green instead, seriously can't be any worse than a player that offers nothing except 'wasn't the cause of the opponents scoring'.

Im fed up again but remain hopeful it'll get sorted in time. Next year will be our time hopefully. It's tough at the moment but I'm determined not to give in.

I have no shame in being positive. If fans want to revel in misery, good for them!

I believe Jordan Hugill hadnt scored a goal in 11 games. 

Aston Villa still have it

[Villanun]

Great first half, crumbled in the second. Should have taken our early chances really. Sounds like Gabby had his best game for us in literally years, while Grealish had a mare.

absolutely appalling. after inept performances, we get half a sniff of improvement and toss it in the bin. Crap game management. Bruce is shit. I know we'll be stuck with him for a while as muddle along getting indifferent results with no genuine sign of improvement in setup, performance or output. It's early to call it I know, but I have no faith he'll do more than **** all with us as a side. He cannot inspire, he cannot manage us. He's old, whilst his record was decent before coming here, all records end and yet again Villa prove to be the graveyard of once competent professionals. 

 

Shit shit shit

Interesting. What we need to find out is who was managing us in the first half (clearly can't have been Bruce by your account, because he is shit) and make them manager for the whole 90 minutes.

Nothing at all wrong with that, but if somebody feels we won't win with two poor players in the team, they also have the right to believe that. 

[NottingVilla]

Is this is where we all blame RDM because it's convenient? 

[TRO]

We still have too many players that just want to play football and little else.....I' m sorry if it was only that simple, but it isn't.....you have to fight for wins.

of course. I was being facetious, it's not like I think they're fantastic players! I knew I would get a nibble whatever the result.

Our best midfielder average? Or average with respect to our team?
