Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Middlesbrough

[Vive_La_Villa]

I'm not going to judge Bruce on the performance because to be fair we missed an open goal and cleared the ball off the line with our own player.  But I said before the game regardless of result he has to go. 

it's another 2 points dropped and becomes a harder job for the next manager.

Go will you please go.................

McLeish could grind out points in the top division.

Steve Bruce dreams of being Mcleish.

He's spent tens of millions, and built us a struggling championship squad on premier league wages. He's our worst manager in the last 2 decades, easily.

18th in the league, 10 points behind top placed Leeds after only 7 games and a -2 goal difference. I hate football. Bruce out!

No more excuses Dr X. This has to be your next tweet:

 

[Dom_Wren]

Has to go. No other choice now  

Would seriously question the docs business acumen if he can't see that it's just not working. 

Wouldn't mind wyness jogging on as well.

A good result in the long run as Bruce's position is untenable now and we got a point. Had we won I have no doubt he would have kept his job. I can't wait for him to be sacked, it will be a long overdue day.

**** resign had enough of your shit. Rdm mark 2

[tonyh29]

Lansbury motm as his red card means we lost any chance of Bruce keeping his job

On a more positive note that was a fabulous defensive clearance off the line by Hogan.

Look, I think everyone on here knows I've been a Bruce supporter from the very beginning, I was certain he'd take us up. I think even I can't argue that he has to go. I believe none of us can argue against the fact it isn't working. He still doesn't know what formation he wants to play or what 11 he wants to put out. It screams of a manager who doesn't know what to do. It's a shame as he's a decent manager and a good guy, but the Dr has to pull the trigger while there's still time to go up. Managers would shit themselves to have a squad like ours in this league.

[PompeyVillan]

We need a Mo Diame style player in midfield. 

[brummybloke]

Can't score against 10 men, better when We had pace, something obvious we needed when the team was announced.

Just no system in place for players to stick to. It's like he just says go on play football. No structure no game plan.

 

 

[rubberman]

So...Bruce out in the morning and we still got a point.  Everyone's happy then I think? Kind of.

 

[Wainy316]

What a load of shite.  We did strangely look more threatening with 10 men though.

[Supervillan78]

 It's still unacceptable

I thought, as many did, you surely can't discount his record, he must have something about him to get four teams up, but he now looks utterly clueless. Some of it may be bad luck, but luck tends to mirror the general performance level and right now nothing is working. I never bothered reading up on it before he arrived, but does anybody know what got him results at other clubs because it can't have been 'this'?
