Demitri_C Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I guess we can start calling him fistface again? Big game this one real big. Bruce will be out to try get one over us. We know his teams are solid at home but hopefully smith can tactically outclass him again like he did every time against Brentford hard one to call this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 He'll send them out to kick Grealish out the game. It's all he knows. We should have enough but this will have a real derby atmosphere. Need Tammy to start tucking away some of these easy chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I'd take a repeat of last season's result up there but I think this will be a tough game. I'd actually be fairly happy with a point at Hillsbrough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Considering Bruce's Villa team's always got outplayed by Smith's Brentford I fully expect this to be 0-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted March 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2019 I can see this being a frustrating one, Bruce knows exactly how to set up to nullify and break up our play, but I can’t seem them scoring so maybe we’ll nick it with a cheeky McGinn goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key thing for us is not to lose, Which i dont think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 A lots being made of Bruce not losing a game yet, but theyve only played 2 team in the top 10 of the table since he took over (won neither) In fact hes only won 4 from 11, thats a 36% win record playing mostly teams in the bottom half - yes its a decent start for him, but not as good as it's being made out to be by the media.

It’s 5 in 11 for them since he took over in fairness (Ipswich, Swansea, Brentford, Bolton and Blackburn). But you’re right, he’s clearly made them harder to beat but with the exception of an out of sorts Derby and Sheff Utd they haven’t faced too many clubs in the top half of the table. To put those 5 wins in 11 games in some sort of context, the 11 games prior to Bruce taking over Wednesday won 4 of them. So harder to beat obviously but how much more of a threat they are is up for debate. It’ll be a tricky one, this and the Bristol City game are the games I’m unsure of the most. But if we play the way we have been, I fancy our chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'm quite confident about this - has all the hallmarks of us Vs Brentford - even when we'd had time to bed in we still got shown up due to to such contrasting styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Sheff Wed will likely play deep and close the space. Not look to press and let us play in front of them. We will have to be on our game in terms of keeping possession as they will be looking to counter attack at any opportunity. If we score first I think we will win comfortably. Otherwise could see a frustrating 0-0. They’ve had 4 0-0’s out of 11 games since Bruce took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted April 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2019 We need to start quickly and score early to set the tone. If we let Shef sit back and dictate the pace they could be hard to break down. That being said Tony P's Middlesborough tried this and got taught a lesson! I just hope Tammy has his shooting boots on this week as I feel like he misses 2 good chances every week, which would make life much more comfortable for us.
