I can see why the two forwards get so frustrated though. They both have pace and skill so what do we do? Slow the ball down, pass it wide and eventually swing it into the box. A number of times TA had opened up space between himself and the defender so a ball could be slid through to him but we went backwards or wide.
For me we just don’t play to the strengths of the players we have and that is down to the manager and his staff.

I can understand getting tactics wrong during a game but bruce’s Inability to rectify anything during the game is unforgivable. We looked a defeated army out there today.  As for the so called premiership players - bolasie will not give anything unless it is easy and in his favour. The Egyptian winger is he good enough?  Abraham does he really want to play for us and how we are missing terry at the back
Assume you weren't at the game? Our 'Egyptian winger' played right back in a back four today and was one of our better players.
El Ghazi?

As soon as I saw Wednesday were set up with 3 at the back I knew we'd struggle. Bruce took 42 mins to move Grealish off the wing, when we equalised he was then moved out wide again.

Neither players nor fans have any confidence in Bruce, the owners are clearing the decks, its now a question of when not if.

For the second time at Villa Park in a year Wednesday made everyone in C&B look like a grade A twat.

35k people turned up to watch that today. Many won’t return until the manager has left.

Positives-McGinns worldie!
Negatives-Bruce as manager!
Today's performance was truly awful. 2 years on and Bruce doesn't have a clue how to set his team up. Last season during games Albert and snoddy needed to change wings, but Bruce would have none of it. Today in a truly awful 1st half grealish played 3 different positions, Albert 2 and Kodjia 2 or 3 (I lost count)
Our 1st shot on target was McGinns wonder strike. Again nothing from the training ground, Bruce instead relying on an individual's moment of brilliance. We picked up for 5-10 minutes after our goal, but soon returned to the dirge of the 1st half. Jedi was hopeless at cb particularly 1st half, and TA's contribution was minimal.
We played like we were the away team! At corners we brought everybody back, sheff wed would leave 1 up, this is an indicator in itself of how defensive Bruce is. Bringing off our leading goalscorer this season, when 2-1 down again does Bruce no favours. I don't dislike Bruce because of his association with scum. I dislike him because he constantly f-cks up the team I support.

If you give Barry Bannan the freedom of Villa Park, what do you expect. No-one within 10 yards of him all afternoon. The team is built around him and yet no-one got anywhere near him. It was like a royal visit.

We could have a great team of players who weren’t good enough for Villa

With respect  whilst he is one of our own young Barry is still shit. It's just that in the land of darkness he provided a flicker of light.

Nice one BC54 VFC. :) Let's hope no one will turn up with the Bernard Manning joke.
