So much for not playing catch up.

As it stands this is 6 wins from the 17 league games since we beat Wolves. 7 from 20 if you class the play-offs as league games.

All so fucking predictable and exactly why no matter what, i'd have sacked the fat wanker before the season started.

Exactly, it was so obvious what was coming if we didn't get rid. This is spineless today.

Time to remove the question mark again?
Yes. We are not questioning it anymore.

12th in the table after 7 games is rubbish though.  We played badly again, and that's still no clean sheets this season.  Bruce looked like a man at the final whistle who knows his time is up.  Hopefully at least, the fat, useless charlatan.

6 wins from the last 17 games?  That's poor.  We still look like a group of unmotivated individuals running around the pitch.  He continues to baffle me with his selections.  There is no cohesion, a lack of desire and we look like we are feeling sorry for ourselves.   The Blackburn goal was a nice finish but there were five Villa players standing in the six yard box doing nothing.  That goal from Hourihane tonight has probably saved Bruce for another week.  Surely, even the very poor side that we are currently can beat Rotherham?

He's had to rebuild the team you know.  He's lost 5 or 6 players you know.  Not that he likes to mention it.

Oh he's just mentioned it again.  Twice, in a minute.

83 points last season and 70+ goals.

Yes, the football could be disjointed. But there was enough encouragement there to suggest we were doing more right than wrong.

It was bordering on neglect not to bring in a centre half to replace Terry though, and that might do for him in the end.  I'd (just about) be happy with him to continue if he can remedy the CB issue in the next few weeks.

Back him on that or bin him.

Funny how he mentions the pen decision making a difference but completely ignores their wrongly disallowed goal before that. And he mentions, as usual, that he's building a new team. Fat twat.

And it's 7 games in, not 6. He's clueless.

He's just said it again!! Utter drivel.

"We lost half the team that I built last year."

No wins in six. Players not putting in a shift. It's time. It's time now.
