Fulham 1-0 Aston Villa Play Off Final Post Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

If one game beautifully summarized the miserable aspects of the Steve Bruce era it was this one. Devoid of a plan or ideas. Goodbye Steve.

[PeterWithesShin]

Got what we deserved today. Thanks and fuck off Steve.

[Hairbandinho]

Prepare for a very very long stay in the lower leagues now. No way they go up next season using the youth. That first half has set us back years and years.

[PaulWinch again]

We lost because we turned up trying to steal the game. Fulham deservedto win because they came to win the game.

Aston Villa should be a team that goes out to win. Get a manager who will try and do that.

Steve you failed, time to go.

Didn't score a goal.. simple as that. I really don't know what we were going for in the first half. Went a man up and still didn't muster a clear cut chance. Threw a bunch of forwards on and they were all on their separate islands. It's a sad day.. I don't even want to think what our starting XI will look like come the first match next campaign.

Just gutted.. gutted

P45 for Bruce

Fulham (team) better suited to premier league.  But never in a million years the better side. Ref was a joke.

[hilts_coolerking]

They turned up, we didn't.  They were better than us but didn't have to play at their best to win.

[russon]

The perfect microcosm of our season, 45 mins of aimless garbage, 25 of huff and puff with some hope to fool us then 20 of cluelessness when we can’t lay a glove on 10 men.

Hogan’s woeful header in injury time summed up his season as an individual and ours as a club. Very disappointing, not at all surprising.

Of course they were.

Far too negative, should have started Kodjia and BB. This is why we didn't get auto promotion, bye bye you dinosaur.

[hilts_coolerking]

we had, what, 15-20 minutes of genuine drive and intensity at the beginning of the second half?  You can't keep that up for 90 but more than 20 shouldn't be too much to ask.

[enigma]

The set up in the first half killed us. Our dour, negative approach has cost us big time. We can say goodbye to Johnstone, maybe Terry and who knows, perhaps even Grealish plus others who are getting too old.

With our ageing squad it was shit or bust today and no more parachute payments to help rebuild the squad.

[JUAN PABLO]

Too many times this season Ive seen Villa play like this .. negative and the manager and coaches havent got a clue what to do.

He should have played to win not to hope we get to penalties .

Bye SB , nice bloke but out of date .
