We'll look to bounce back and kick-start our season after the international break.

Yeah, just a blip wasn't it you myopic twats

[Jockey Randall]

Too many people have been stealing a living from this club for too long. We need a complete overhaul from top to bottom.

Spot on. How can the management not see a change was needed at half time? They'd taken the initiative and were the only team that looked like scoring before half time. We needed some wingers on but it seemed like they just deliberately waited until Millwall scored the 2nd to do anything about it. Awful stuff from such experienced men.

[Nastylee]

Utterly shit second half showing from a team woeful in defence and shambolic when dealing with balls into the box. Subs ten minutes too late.

Grealish should be dropped. Absolute waste of a shirt at the moment.  Great on the ball but it's easy on the half way line. Does absolutely nothing in the last third. Every through ball was aimless and/or overhit. A luxury that upsets the balance of our team and one we can ill afford. Wish we'd taken the money.

We need the appointment. Let's hope it's a good one as all is not lost if someone can knit it together relatively quickly.

We ain’t getting relegated.

But, the job is too big, and the problems are too deep for a novice manager.

[BoVillan esq]

Well that's it, so for the pundits this is what reality is and not the rubbish they keep coming out with, this is a Steve Bruce squad, absolute crap, all that money spent, not going to lay everything at the door of KMac today, he can only work with this dire situation he's been left with, I doubt Pep Guardiola would do anything with this lot, Bruce has left us in a terrible situation, huge job for the next boss, he has to come in, get some wins under our belt, get us into the transfer window and buy buy buy and the board have to back him, this squad is spent.

Why the fuck did we start with a fucking right back out wide and a fucking left sided central player wide. Fucking shit.

[wolfman999]

I have a real fear that our new owners, who probably thought they were picking up a big club fairly cheaply and getting it promoted, will decide this basket case of a club is not worth wasting good money on and bail.

[SoccerHQ]

Another season at this level passing us by I'm afraid.

Look at that table and it's embarrasing we're in the bottom half. Heck we're only a point above SHA and they've hardly won a game all season.

Sad thing is the way it's gone since 2010 means I'd actually be surprised when we do start playing well and winning regularly.

[PeterWithesShin]

7 straight defeats away to Millwall in all competitions, how the fuck can we be so consistently crap against such a shit club.

Oh and 1 win in 10, in division fucking 2. Absolute disgrace for Aston Villa to 'achieve' that.

[themossman]

Because MacDonald is a clueless incompetent fuckwit?

[Risso]

Why the fuck did we start with a fucking right back out wide and a fucking left sided central player wide. Fucking shit.

And a right back in the centre of defence.

Shambles.  Bruce should be horsewhipped then tarred and feathered for leaving us in this state.

[Drummond]

Stop it.

We'll be fine.

Combining our records at all three of Selhurst, The Den and Loftus Road in last 30 years and that's probably as many away wins as somewhere like the Emirates and that's only been open 10 years.

We always are terrible at the smaller London grounds for whatever reason, our record in recent years at Fulham is also woeful.

Bruce has stuffed us this year by clinging on when he wasn’t up to the job whilst ruining our squad in the transfer window. Even if we have some defenders and a decent manager in January it’ll be too late.

[CJ]

I'm convinced Bruce deliberately sabotaged that defence to make sure he'd get the push and compo. Goalkeepers worse than the one we had last season and worse than the one we've loaned out; failure to replace our best player knowing full well he was leaving at the end of the season; loaning out Elphick and De Laet so there's no cover anywhere. The new manager has a hell of a task sorting that out with little prospect of bringing anyone in any time soon. Yet another season of consolidate and rebuild for next season. I've forgotten what it's like to enjoy football.
