Hayes has done nothing notable all match. Isn't doing anything defensively, and isn't helping start the attacks. Just a passenger so far. He looks like he doesn't know what his role is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 This match is just showcasing the problems that bruce has brought upon himself. He has been here for nearly two years and he hasn't signed a centre back for more than a one year contract.. And he talks about stability.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now know that Bruce made the right call in not starting Axel at CB and not starting Hourihane on Sat. (Which is what everyone was crying for) Also, as much as I dont rate him, Elmo looks better than Adomah on that wing. Tuanzebe next to Chester would be fine, he's the only one at the back who looks composed on the ball. His distribution is good, unfortunately he is distributing to Whelan. Hourihane looks pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Unacceptable and it's the senior players who have been the worst. Don't win this then I expect them to refund the fans, because so far they have been a **** DISGRACE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprises that our second string is struggling against their first team. Hepburn-Murphy and Doyle-Hayes are basically the only second string players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2018 We look so poor. The football is just awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 14, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm glad there's some anger here - over the last two or three seasons we've had too many evenings with shameful performances, they've become almost acceptable - they aren't. We're Aston Villa, we're a team competing at the top end of the championship - losing to Yeovil is not and never will be acceptable, no matter what the circumstance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he's hardly being helped by Hourihane and Whelan. They've spent 45 minutes running around like headless chickens with Hourihane passing to Yeovil more than his team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStagMan Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Now dont worry chaps, somehow we will scrape a goal and win the game then Brucie will be a genius again and it will be ridiculous to criticise because we won. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'd love to see the tactic board in the dressing room. These lot are a league 2 side lets not forget and our main attacking plan is to get either taylor or elphick to lump it to rhm the smallest man on the pitch.

Mazrim Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Elphick is so flat footed he may as well be aquatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Tuanzebe, Elphick, Taylor, Hourihane, Whelan, Adomah - all shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 All these players are pretty average. Put one or two of them in the team with better players and they can do a job. Field a whole team of them and this what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Very strong bench, so I hope Bruce makes a sub at half just to kick some players into gear. This has been unacceptable from basically everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
