BBC Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce:

"It was on the edge of embarrassment, if I'm being brutally honest.

"It's a rude awakening for us, very early again. Arguably that's the biggest doing I can remember having in the Championship.

"We didn't do enough of the basics. We looked fragile every time they broke on us."

I don't write on here much but this sums it up! What the point is a pre season ffs!

Judging by our pre season form and now, it was to undo everything we were doing right.

It  gets worse Mendez-Laing who joined them on a free from Rochdale and we made look like Diego Costa is a Nose!

It's the manner of this defeat that turned me, not the result. It was insipid. Still fuming.

Pathetic. Utterly pathetic.

Every ounce of optimism has been drained from me.

I'm sick of it.

I feel like such an idiot for feeling positive and supporting Bruce all preseason. What a **** dreadful performance.

on a positive... we did manage to keep it to only 3

Sorry to bring back bad memories. 

Didnt see the game but just watched the highlights. Was Gabby playing upfront. Kind of looks like we played 442 with Onomah and Elmo wide. But then later on Onomah looks more central and deeper. 

Bit confused so maybe someone could help out with formation/set up?

Sky had that as a 65.2%, which makes us 2 for 2 on the season

GRAVY TRAIN.
