Predictable team selection with a more than predictable result.

We will huff and puff but in the end they will outsmart us - we will go a goal down and then on 60 mins the obvious changes will take place and we end up being a rabble for the remainder of the game with no shape and they will score another. Its really getting depressing now

0-2

He cannot survive if that is the case

I have gone for the draw. I think Bristol City have peaked under Lee Johnson and will be mid table this season. I don't fancy them to beat us but the way we are playing I don't fancy us to beat them either. I think privately Bruce would take a draw now.

Abraham

Decent line-up, though I might go with someone else at RB rather than Hutton.

His positional sense is dodgy, he always risks a booking or worse and he can't help himself bombing forwards. That (usually) comes to nothing but with the attacking options in front of him, who should be fluid in supporting Abraham he will carry the ball aimlessly and get in the way.

I might also swap Hourihane for Whelan, more reliable as defensive cover and with the four attacking players we should have enough of a threat if they have any semblance of a plan.

Had a hard think and after evaluating that we are usually aweful at Ashton Gate, it would be so easy to go  for a  bristol City victory, however we are Villa and we don't do the right thing, so a victory is possible.  Eventually conceeding that it most unlikely that we will win so have plumbed for a respectful draw.

Still dislike Bristol City loads.

It,s a bunch of new players who have hardly met and he has only had this season to assemble a squad so be patient as he is a promotion specialist whose team isn't helped by hysterical villa fans who know nothing about football.

Jedinak in midfield could be an option.

However, Jedinak at CB will be the grim reality.

I've gone for a Brizzle win, so hopefully the travelling support will give Bruce some serious grief if my prediction comes to pass. Dammit, if I wasn't washing my hair on Friday evening - I'd go down there & boo the bugger meself!

If I was him, I would go back to the formation he used in the second half of last season, as I think it is the formation that will get the best out of Grealish and McGinn in particular.  Team would look something like:

                                    Nyland

Elmohamady            Chester          Tuanzebe       Hutton
       
                                      Jedinak

I've seen on another forum Villa 'supporters' wanting us to lose on Friday to hasten Bruce's departure.

What's this forum's thoughts on this?

I find it ridiculous that any supporter would ever want their own team to lose. In this instance it'll just mean we're further off reaching our target for this season (promotion) and with absolutely no knowledge that another loss or even two, three losses would see the club change the manager anyway



I find that point of view just as ridiculous to be honest.  As if one game is more important than our long term success.  Sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forwards.  If losing the next game guaranteed Bruce getting the chop, then so be it.  He isn't going to get us promoted, so by wanting to keep Bruce, you're prepared to both lose games, miss out on promotion and stick with dismal football.  No thanks.

It's not really an either or situation though is it Risso?  For all we know, the owners might have already made their minds up regardless of the result on Friday.

Post by: PeterWithesShin on September 26, 2018, 04:07:53 PM
If it was a binary choice, lose and Bruce is sacked, win/draw and he stays then I think i'd take the loss. I hate us losing any game, however I hate being stuck in the shit tinpot division with a lying wanker in charge of us more, and if Bruce lasted the season I don't think we'll be promoted and the longer he stays the more I believe our promotion chances diminish. So for the long term benefit of the club I would take a loss as I believe another manager would, or could as in fairness we could appoint someone even worse, pull back those 3 points and more on what Bruce would manage.
If it's a case of lose and well he might go in another few games time, then no, I wouldn't take a loss.
FWIW unless we were absolutely smashed I don't think he'd be binned if we lose.

This x 1000

The owners will already know if they're going to stick or twist. A loss will only harm the team morale and our chances of getting out this league IMHO

Personally i hope we win the next 20000000 games whether he's here on not

Even if it meant the Dog  shit won the league with us getting a result I would not will us to lose (obviously the same could not be said of them) but if a loss is coming it would be more palatable if it meant and end to this shite.

In all your experience Steve you must see that this crap yòu either serve up as football or talk is surely going to end one way.
So please when it comes have some dignity and just leave without making any excuse other than the job was just to big for you.

I am prepared to say I will take a loss if it hastens his departure as the alternative, under him, is we win on Friday and then get one point out of next 3 as has happened time and time again. Instead of being killed by a thousand cuts I will take a knife to the throat.

What's wrong with taking a draw? That actually wouldn't be the worst result as Bristol are decent on their home turf but would be yet another game we wouldn't win.

Just saying for all those wanting to lose then we miss out on top 6 by a point at the end of the season.

He's always going to win *some* matches.  The point is, he won't win enough to get us up, and generally the style of play is dreadful.  I'd rather he was potted sooner rather than later to give us a better chance of going up.  So it's not "wanting" to lose, just a grim acceptance, a bit like putting a shit side out in the EFL Cup, that if it happens and he goes, it wasn't the worst thing in the world.  Hopefully that explains it a bit better.

I have the dubious pleasure of being able to watch this from home tomorrow and have little appetite it has to be said.

I liked Bruce until this season and some of the shitty things he's come out with, the overall feeling at the club is negative and I don't think will improve while he is here.

If we in 10-0 I still maintain that we will finish just outside the play offs, just fall short or even mid table. Buying players and hoping for the best got us through last season but it's a wafer thin philosophy and it's collapsing at the moment.

Hard to predict.  Bruce has a habit of pulling out one of his once-in-every-10-games top performances when his back is against the wall, which both buys him time and, in his mind at least,  entitles him him to take the moral and intellectual (oh the irony) high ground, crow and gloat a bit and humiliate the naysayers with his startlingly astute wit and repartee, not to mention his mindbending economy and tenuous relationship with the truth.  On the other hand he'll try and nick a 0-0, the Jedinak inspired defence will be torn a new one and we'll get mullered 3-0.

Unless they have something resembling a lamp post as a centre forward there is no reason at all to play Jedinak at CH.

Maybe its got to the point that the more he is told Jedi is the weak link the more arrogant he is and plays him there anyway.

Would be unusual for them to lose 3 on the bounce with the 3rd being a "big game" at home

I am a little fearful

Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce told BBC Radio WM:
"We haven't quite got the balance right yet, we've made a lot of mistakes defensively, and we're going to have to be a bit more resilient than we have been at the minute defensively.
"We've tried to be a bit more expansive but for me we're too open at the moment, we haven't quite got the balance correct.
"Fitting into what we did last year is easy for some, but the six that have now joined us will take a bit of time, it's not an excuse, it's the way it is."

From that I take
1. We won't be playing fast open expansive football tonight., so hoping to nick a 1-0
2. The six we have lost is now the six that have joined!!!

Leaving work in Exeter at 3, to meet my son who has just started Uni in Bristol. Meeting others from Bournemouth Lions somewhere pre-match. Our most local game in the Championship. UTV

Now that's a great thing. Pity you have to go to the game, really.
