So much for experimenting...
-
Good to see the youngsters getting a go....
-
Bacuna and Gardener in midfield, might as well have put in the 2 guys who ran on the pitch.
-
Bruce is such a boring manager
-
Eric black mk11
-
I'd have at least tried Jack in the 'number 10 role' in the middle to see if he could pick out passes for Hogan to run on to. All a bit meh.

For those that want Blackburn to beat us, it seems a good idea. Both shockingly rubbish players.

This
Fuck me gardner and bacuna, ive got cotton wool swabs ready for when my eyes bleed
-
Given that Huddersfield have made 10 changes today I think losing to Blackburn may not have the desired effect.

Hmm. Huddersfield will get fined surely with so many changes

It will be even funnier when sha fail to beat Huddersfield reserves.

Why is Hogan not capitalised?

The vibe around the ground has been pretty mental for the last 2 hours, in a good way.

No surprises in that team selection from Bodger. My hope is the midfield are not sat deep and instead support the strikers.

-

We look as shit as usual. Blackburn well up for it.
-
What were the Villa fans singing just then, "We're 8 at the back"?
No,it's 'Gary Gardner your brother's a twat'
-
My stream has died. Please don't pm me any others.
-
Get possession, hoof it forward, lose possession. And repeat.
-
Ty all
-
This is really poor. Loads of humping balls up to nobody, especially from Taylor, who is very crap.
-
We're so poor - it's all Blackburn and they've had enough chances to go ahead. Maybe that's why they're going down
-
What were the Villa fans singing just then, "We're 8 at the back"?
No,it's 'Gary Gardner your brother's a twat'
Ah. Got ya. I really need to brush up my Danish.
-
If anyone could PM me a stream link that would be grand!
-
Blues down to ten men
-
Should have played it to Hogan there.
-
HAHAHA. Blooser's down to ten men!

Thanks

Gary Gardner, din bror er en kyse?
-
Two more chances missed by Blackburn
-
Its not on anywhere
-
We're doing our best to gift them a goal
-
Gary Gardner, din bror er en kyse?
Your spelling is very poor. Please praktise moor.
-
If Blackburn weren't so shit it could already be game over. Our main 'tactic' seems to be to lump it forward and hope Kod pulls off a blinder.
-
I can't understand why Bodger Bruce is playing Bacuna, a right sided player, on the bloody left.
-
Meanwhile the 10 men legend is being conceived at the Sty.
-
Blackburn should have scored then
-
Johnstone saves us, we were all over the place again.
-
I can't understand why Bodger Bruce is playing Bacuna, a right sided player, on the bloody left.
He isn't Lansbury, is on the left.
-
Yet another chance for Blackburn - they really should have buried that one. As the fans are chanting - 'that's why you're going down'
-
What a save.
-
Is Lansbury playing as crap as the radio commentator is saying ?
-
We're defending like Italians.
-
Bloody hell. We rode our luck there.
-
oh dear bacuna why oh why
-
Getting outplayed by fucking Blackburn.
-
Lansbury on the right wing, Bacuna on the left, fuckin joker Bruce!
-
We're defending like Italians.
Yes the army rather than footballers.
-
Scum have scored.

feeling v pleased with myself for dedicating my last track to Gabby - you're the one for me fatty
-

I doubt the wireless is doing to justice to how bad we've been.
-
Is Lansbury playing as crap as the radio commentator is saying ?
They all are, apart from Baker and Chester and possibly Hutton.
-
sha 1 up.
-
I can't understand why Bodger Bruce is playing Bacuna, a right sided player, on the bloody left.
He isn't Lansbury, is on the left.
So what the hell was Bacuna doing over there?
-
Decent effort by Kod.
-
Seeing as Bloose are winning we may as well start playing properly and bury Blackburn
-
Garry Thompson just said this formation is ridiculous, they couldn't have practiced this all week surely!
-
2 shots on target, we've turned into Barcelona!
-
What a miss! Again
-
Blackburn miss another great chance.
-
Dreary.
-
is Bruce really the right man?
Im getting bored with him
-
We put in about 2 decent minutes in that half. If Blackburn were anything other than total shite we'd be getting hammered.
-
I really cannot see with 'performances' like this how we're going to win the 25+ games needed next season. Awful.
-
A typical low quality first half performance by us.
-
Lansbury on the right wing, Bacuna on the left, fuckin joker Bruce!
Other way round actually.
Dire formation though. Lansbury isn't a left winger, Gardener is crap, and Hourihane has hardly touched the ball. Hogan may as well not be playing.
-
is Bruce really the right man?
Im getting bored with him
He is going to have to undergo some sort of renaissance to change the way he is and the way the team is set up to play.
I don't expect it.

Ha! Great stuff, enjoying the show.
The Man Utd FA cup swerve you mentioned was 2000 wasn't it? I remember thinking even if we beat Chelsea it was a bit hollow when the defending champions can't be arsed.

He says he's not happy with the overall performances so at least he acknowledges it. He says it after most games though and we've yet to see any change.

was it a bye they got or did they pull out of the comp altogether?
-
They pulled out to play in that club Championship. We played 'lucky losers' Darlington in round 3, after they'd already lost in round 2
-
Pulled out altogether - just didn't take part that year.
-
Well I've just guaranteed at least 1 goal. I've taken some generous odds for 0-0.
-
What a dreadful back pass. Second half starts where the first half finished
-
Come on Villa, let's stuff these duffers.
-
Sounds like we've been our normal selves.
-
That is just awful play.
-
Well after some very commendable fucking about we give them a soft free kick
-
Stupid free kick to give away.
-
What a dreadful back pass. Second half starts where the first half finished
I wish. we look worse, if that's possible.
-
I don't get how we are so incredibly poor. The lucky thing is you don't have to be ace to get out of this division. But you have to at least be decent and we just don't look even decent. After 30+ games under Bruce we should be much better than this. And we're just not. We're constantly flattering to deceive and we plod along in each game. And we might go on to win today and will continue to paper over the cracks.
-
We'll probably somehow manage to win 1-0 and Bruce will say how poor we were and we need to pass it better etc. For about the 25th time this season.
-
This just doesn't breed any confidence for next season. A one-off poor performance, sure, but every game for a long time?
-
Twats.
-
1-0 Blackburn. Baker mistake.
-
Baker you fucking twat.
-
0-1 utter fucking gash by Baker.
-
Good man Nathan.
-
What the fuck was Baker doing then?! We've been trying to gift them a goal all game and that was served up on a plate. Simply awful. Let's hope Bloose fuck up now
-
We'll probably somehow manage to win lose 1-0 and Bruce will say how poor we were and we need to pass it better etc. For about the 25th time this season.
-
Shocking
-
Fucking ace. We'll lose, the noses will win. What a day this will be.
-

Wadyamean ? Baker just made a pass that lead to a goal
-
Im sick of the Radio WM commentators
-
Without Jedinak we're a massive pile of shit.
-

LOL it's amazing that after the best part of a full season of games he's still churning out the same bollocks line. How about he looks in the fucking mirror? The root of the problem might be right under his fucking bent nose.
-
Fucking ace. We'll lose, the noses will win. What a day this will be.
That's worst of both worlds served up for us. Total crap.
-
This 'performance' is fucking embarrassing so far.
-
We are an awful team playing awful football.
Can't see that changing any time soon
-
"Villa are very patient in their build up play" nah mate, just fucking slow and clueless.
-
Pathetic & a disgrace... tell us what ya really think Bruno!
-
That could easily have been a red for Bennett
-
Fuck off Bruce you potato sack of shit, over 30 games and they look like a fucking long ball donkey rabble, week in week out.
-
I don't get how we are so incredibly poor. The lucky thing is you don't have to be ace to get out of this division. But you have to at least be decent and we just don't look even decent.

Whilst we have to rely on Kodjia to score and jedinak to defend we will never get out of this division carrying 9 others
-
Fancy making a change sometime today Bruce as this blatantly isn't working?

Too many cracks not enough paper.
-
Bruce won't get us promoted next season plus we will be forced to watch xhite football......pull the trigger Dr. Tone
-
Too much paper not enough glue.
-
Angie off, Gabby on.
-
Over 30 games in charge and doesnt know what his best 11 is and what formation to play
Still everything will be fine when he has had the summer to buy more players who he doesnt know where to play ::)
-
Too much paper not enough papier mache.
-
Gruesome. Ghastly. Grim.
-
I don't think he has any plan beyond getting to the summer
-
Is there a stream for this bollocks?
-
Too much paper not enough glue.
But plenty of candidates for the glue factory.
-
Is there a stream for this bollocks?
you really don't want to
-
Is there a stream for this bollocks?
we are a constant stream of bollocks these days
-
Great, Kodjia injured.
-
Looks like Kod is fecked, stretcher job.
-
Kodjia - fuckin' wonderful
-
It could be worse, we could be at home with just 22% possession like the scum!
-
The real worry is I don't think a summer transfer window will make any difference - Bruce has got some of the best players in the Championship at his disposal, who've performed well for other teams (e.g.Lansbury, Hourihane, Hogan) and they've regressed under Bruce. I think Dr T will give him until October/November and if things aren't looking like promotion material he'll be on his bike

Which will be too late.
-
There's no point giving him any money, he'll probably buy another striker like Hogan, another player like Grealish, another midfielder like Hourihane and then play 5-3-2 and hit long ball to the forwards. It's a complete waste of time, silly transfer by numbers strategy and then dour turgid tactics looking to nick the 1-0.
Fucking attrocious. The game that summers up the abortion of a season.
-
A corner! 73 minutes for our first corner
-
Fucking turgid
-
we are going backwards under bruce
Its so so Eric Black and no idea what the coaches do down Bodymoor
-
bacuna cock up there again

Why wait until October. Prefer to get rid in 9 days time
-

They do nothing. They wait until the next transfer window then buy whoevers stats look good for the season.
-
bacuna cock up there again
Bacuna, sack of cock, shouldn't be anywhere near any team in this division.
-
why do we make Gallaher look like Ronaldo
-
Our central midfield is Gardner and Bacuna. I'm not confident we're going see any kind of improvement in the last 15 or so mins.
-
Gardner scores pen for Blues.
-
why do we make Gallaher look like Ronaldo
Because we're a poorly coached crock of shite?
-
That's them safe then
-
bacuna cock up there again
Bacuna, sack of cock, shouldn't be anywhere near any team in this division.
i just dont get it
thats why we are here playing shite like Bacuna and still playing him this this division , we will never get out.
-
That's them safe then
Not quite. Goes to the last game.
-
That's them safe then
Is it? I thought it now goes to the final game?
-
Watching this on Kodi, on UK Turks TV Sports Channel SportKlub3. Commentary in Russian I think, but the picture quality is good.
We are fucking worse than crap....Bruce has got to go, and go now for fucks sake!!!
-
adomah wtf was that
-
That's them safe then
Isn't that them 2 points above drop zone with 1 to play? Rovers 48 pts, Forest 48, sha 50. According to the Beeb.
-
Fucking Huddersfield, certainly be cheering whoever they play in the playoffs
-
Did i Just see Ian Taylor with the grandad cap on?
-
That's them safe then
Isn't that them 2 points above drop zone with 1 to play? Rovers 48 pts, Forest 48, sha 50. According to the Beeb.
Correct. Rovers and forest win their last game and blues don't then they are down.
-
Fucking Huddersfield, certainly be cheering whoever they play in the playoffs
me too.
-
Bruce out tonight please.
-
bacucna passed to a blackburn player
Bruce fuck him off
-

Ah, ok, there's still hope then
-
Is it bed sheet and spray paint time?
-
I want him out NOW !!!
-
The atmosphere at Blackburns ground is like a morgue, and considering how shite we are playing, it's not surprising.
-

Definitely down to the last day then
-
I doubt Blackburn have had an easier game for years. Apart from that 2 min spell near the end of the first half we have been disgracefully bad.
-
I suppose beat Birmingham and lose to Blackburn, we did our best.
-
If we get an equaliser they will be safe.
[/quote]
I'll have a pint of whatever your drinking.lol!
-
Looks like Sunderland are down. Way past time bit like we were.
-
Bacuna must surely be shipped out in the Summer.

I love the confidence Bruce and team drill into us :-[
-
Bacuna must surely be shipped out in the Summer.
Any chance we can attach the manager and most of the crappy coaching staff to him, when he does go???
-
It's just shockingly bad - we don't even retain possession from throw-ins
-
who headed it to a blackburn player there before Johnston came out ??
-
Bacuna must surely be shipped out in the Summer.
He'll be made club captain. So sick of this shit.
-
Our attack, one shit flick by our player near their pen area and it leads to a 3 on 3 counter attack. We're so bad it fucking laughable.
-
Thats it.
-
We should all be ashamed by today.
-
why do we make Gallaher look like Ronaldo
Because we're a poorly coached crock of shite?
No Coach has ever missed a pass, fluffed a golden chance to score,or passed to the opposition. Nor lost a challenge nor...nor...
These things are down to the players.
There`s not a Coach on the planet who could get that pathetic, inept lot promoted.
The coach`s job is primarily to design tactics that will deliver a player into scoring position. And negate the opposition defensively. I`m not convinced that Bruce is the man but if he follows through on his decision to dump up to ten of them and replace them with fewer, high quality players that should at least steady the ship. That`d do me for now.
Norm.
