Bruce has left us in a shocking mess, simple as that. I said he won't take us as far. Playoff Final is as far as Bruce took us. If Smith can take us that far in 2 years, great. I'm not holding my breath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hope he sees Hogan is not the player he once had. Him over kodjia is a poor decision. You can see we are building a style of play. We looked good in spells. Bruce has **** us over. Left us in a worse state than he found us 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Thought he made a mistake taking Conor off, if only for his threat at set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I don't see how any manager could do any good with Nyland. You at least need a good foundation to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simply it's going to take time, fitness levels will take a while to improve and so will the required mental sharpness to play pass and move football. This needs to be seen as a long term project, expectations of promotion this season need to be calmed. Yep, we gassed really quick after about an hour. Very lethargic.

hippo Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I will probably get a load of abuse for this - not just tonights game - but why is a chap with mid table finishes at Walsall and Brentford so highly rated ? - not a dig far to early - but whats he done thats so great ?

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 He has a massive job on his hands. I said when he takes over he will need at least 2 windows to build his team. We can still make playoffs. A new keeper is a must to have any chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2018 Nothing has changed yet. Apart from Tuanzebe being played at CB there doesn't seem to be any positive change yet. We have a long way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ironic you say that its not a dig when having a dig is all you've done since Smith was announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
