Draws are no good apparently, need to set up to win home or away...yep, very Bruce! Also finding this very strange, looking on their forum they are all 100% sure they will beat us tomorrow. No one evens mentions the form we are currently in. Either they are have seen something very special over the last few weeks or they are in for a massive shock come 3pm tomorrow. Lets hope it's the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he costed us alot of money doesn't automatically make him better than Steer. We should play our best keeper and after watching Kalinic games coupled with highlights from the recent Croatian games, i'm not sure if Kalinic is actually better than Steer. There's a reason that no manager has ever seen Steer as a number 1. Kalinic is the number 1. He'll play long term unless there's been some sort of break down behind the scenes. If you honestly think Steer is the better keeper and will be in goal for any length of time, I think you're mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2019 I think Kalinic is the better keeper, but I think this back four have more confidence with Steer behind them - he's a good organiser and he's calm and clear - obviously there's more to goalkeeping than that, otherwise we'd just put Terry in there, but I don't think there's enough reason to change it at the moment.

striker Posted April 5, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2019 Would be a mistake to change it at the moment. Keep playing well and winning and keep the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 A draw seems the most likely shout......but it depends on form, if we can keep our form up we can win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish somebody would show him what our wage bill was next time he says that. Really hope football prevails tomorrow. Ugh, it's this type of shit that makes me dislike him. Like there's no need to lie. You came up short, it happens. No need to paint Villa as **** Bolton or something to cover your ass. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted April 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2019 I don't care it's Bruce we're against. We just need to win, everyone. I'm not too confident now though. We've won too many in a row, and I didn't think we were too convincing last Saturday. So, I'm afraid it's time for a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villatillidie1980 Posted April 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2019 I am nervous about this one. I have no doubt we are the better side, but at this point of the season and the position we’re in I fear a defeat. Play like we can and I am sure we will get the right result!

It's nice to have a manager who you trust will deal with the situation sensibly and properly, whichever decision he ends up taking. Smith has shown with his selection changes that he doesn't drop players who don't deserve it; as evidenced by McGinn not getting straight back into the line-up upon becoming available again - only to come in the following game and absolutely tear it up. Good management in game 1 which further benefitted us in game 2. Under Bruce it didn't matter what a youngster did on any given day. If he wasn't part of the first 11 he was ousted as soon as possible. This goes back as far as O'Neill. You could even predict the subs and minutes of subs then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a game that was. To think two of our goalscorers that day are no longer with us, Big Cyrille and Dalian. We'll never forget them though and will always be thankful for the joy they gave us that beautiful sunny day, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I hope we perform, bit I'm also a little concerned about this one and think it will be a tough match. In the last couple of months they have taken points off a few good teams, including derby and sheff utd. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Surprised Sky never demanded this be played on telly. Has the feel of a Derby about it. Didn't wish the man any harm when he was punted but the media have done their job and hooked me in. My arse is twitching like a rabbits nose! Please don't lose!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 There's no way bruce will want to lose this one so I expect he will be ultra cautious from the offset. Obviously I think the way we have been playing lately no one can cope with us but cos of the brucio factor it wouldn't suprise me if it was a draw. But we have more than enough quality to win this the blues match had more emotion on it so I think we should have too much for them despite their new manager bounce.

Only2McInallys Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Difficult game to predict.Can we keep up our recent form?How good are Sheff Wed?How good is Bruce? I think a draw would be a good result for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted April 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2019 Really need a win here. The others around us have very winnable games. A loss or draw not only likely drops us out of the playoff positions but will also shatter the aura of invincibility that's been building, meaning rivals that might have been starting to fear playing us will regain confidence that they can beat us to sixth spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robtaylor200 Posted April 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2019 Just done a table predictor, last games of all top 10 teams. I got us to finish 7th behind Derby So I did it again and got us to 6th phew 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
