No Gabby, Bacuna or Lescott in the line up.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Do05peLWwAAx8gq.jpg:large)
-
No El Ghazi in the squad? Win please Villa.
-
It appears to be 4-4-1-1 which I like but when you have Bolasie available why play Elmo as the winger or wide midfielder? Taylor coming back isn't a shock, but I would rather have seen Elmo RB and Hutton LB.
-
Elmo in midfield ? No wonder McDonalds managerial career never flourished.
-
C'mon Villa, dazzling performance please.
-
Crap side. Grealish on the left again then. Elmo on the wing, no Bolasie.
-
Could that be three centre backs with Hutton playing centrally and Elmo at wing back?
-
Looks like a 4-1-4-1 to me. Very defensive shite
-
It could be anything.
-
Can't see Grealish being left-hand side, more likely behind Abraham - certainly that is what I hope.
No defenders on the bench. Presume if someone gets injured Elmo drops in. Please win Villa.
-
5-3-2
Elmo and Taylor wing backs
Grealish up front with Abraham
I reckon anyway...
-
Conservative team selection in a Brucey style . Although it's somewhere we never seem to get a lot,I was hoping we'd at least give Bolaise/El Ghazi a run wide..and I'd have freshened it up in central midfield with Whelan in..
Interesting no Ghazi in the 17..but the return of Lansbury and Hogan...Maybe there was a touch of conflict involved with Bruce previously.. plenty kn the bench if we can keep it level to win it late.
-
Crap side. Grealish on the left again then. Elmo on the wing, no Bolasie.
Id expect Grealish to play off Abraham. Not the worst side. I really don't like Elmo right side of midfield but AA performances have stunk all season. Elmo has a fair few assists racked up. Likes of BB, Hourihane and McGinn very fortunate to retain their positions after their disappearing act v Preston.
-
With all those forwards available he has picked just one. Interesting.
-
5-3-2
Elmo and Taylor wing backs
Grealish up front with Abraham
I reckon anyway...
I think it looks like that as well, unless Elmohamady is going to play wide right, which would be a bit stupid seeing as we have two right wingers on the bench.
-
I think it's just cautious setup due to Chester out, and SB leaving may have caused unrest.
Just avoid defeat (Eric Black book)
-
I just find Kmac miserable, dour and predictable. He’s been at the club far too long. I get that he might not like the spotlight but press conference yesterday didn’t fill anyone with any confidence or enthusiasm. Lie to me if you have. Tell me you are going to select a side to win the game, to attack from the off. We have great players at the club and we are going to use them. But nope. He just couldn’t be arsed.

With you completely. People seem to see him as some great messiah, but his conduct last time he was caretaker didn't impress me and his team selection was a complete joke. This time similar. Free hit. Dour team selection.
-
Totally agree. I'm amazed he's still with us.
-
I don’t think the selection is as bad as last time he was in charge, but still pretty dour. If they can get Jack more central though it might work.
-
Great job managing to get every available defensive player starting ...
-
Is he the only person who is qualified to do the caretaker job? Is it a question of being registered/having the badges or whatever?
-

I would have probably given Mark Delaney the chance rather than K Mac.
-
I will never understand why Kodjia gets dropped. What's the point of having Slogan on the bench instead of el Ghazi?
Just much too defensive for me today. Another boring display of backfoot football I think.. the same reason Bruce was canned.
The players better find a way to get three points today, I don't care who's on the pitch or in the managers box.
-
I would have given Doris the tea lady a chance over McDonald/MacDonald (I can't be arsed to check).
-
McDonald’s happy meal selection this.
-
I would have given Doris the tea lady a chance over McDonald/MacDonald (I can't be arsed to check).
Mac. As in KMac.
-
I'm not lovin' it.
-
Millwall spanked Forest in the air on set pieces and crosses in the week. 1-3
-
Mac as in sack...
-
A depressing, grey day here in the Midlands. Hoping for some scintillating football to cheer me up...
If not, I have an unfinished bottle of white Rully from last night that will probably be more reliable.

Cheers but I'm hoping I don't have to post about him ever again. Today's threads excepted of course.

Speaking of Burgundy, Auxerre just went 0-1 down to Lens in the French version of the Championship.

Louis Violland, 2015. It is absolutely magnificent. I've got about three cases of the stuff, as my mate imports it directly. I shall save a couple of bottles for the next time you're over.
-
Fucking top year! Ace.
-
I think the only logical change i'd have made from the eleven is Elmo at RB, Hutton on the bench and Bolasie starting
-

Same here. I can see why someone would pick Elmo wide right of midfield away from home, but fuck me it's just so negative.
-
Bolaise for Elmo Id be a lot happier
-
Just win Villa.
McDonald..deary me. Hutton captain?
Oh well, he'll be gone after today's attempt at management.
Where is El Ghazi?
-
All I can say is we had better fucking win because I am going to an 'apéritif dinatoire' just after the game and it's a 70 km round-trip and I have been designated 'the driver' so can't get wankered.
-
KMac gave me a Villa signed ball for charity the other day . Hes a nice bloke , lovely house , likes a drink but dont like him as a manager.
-
Not surprised he has picked a more defensive team on paper, we are a team leaking goals and our best defender unavailable.
Come on you Lions.
-

Why is Bolasie on the bench yet again. Fuck sake KM don't copy Bruce!
-
Not surprised he has picked a more defensive team on paper, we are a team leaking goals and our best defender unavailable.
Come on you Lions.
I think this is about right.
-
Bolasie seemingly not ready for 90 minutes. Take yer time son, we're only paying you a quarter of a mill a month.
-
Nice work!
-
Bolasie seemingly not ready for 90 minutes. Take yer time son, we're only paying you a quarter of a mill a month.
bring him on 5th minute then
-
Not at all surprised at the side K Mac has picked.
He won't change much, he did the same when Sherwood was canned. Picked exactly the same team that been awful previously, and surprise, surprise, they were awful again.
New manager and new ideas can't come soon enough
Come on Villa, just win!!
-
Given he knows it's only going to be 1 game and he apparently only got 1 training session I can understand him picking virtually the same 11.
In terms of approach i do n't think he's ever recovered from the dicking at Newcastle.
-
Bolasie seemingly not ready for 90 minutes. Take yer time son, we're only paying you a quarter of a mill a month.
My point about returning loan players...
-
Henry at Millwall? true?
-
Sounds like Hutton in the centre and Bree at right back in a four at the back.
-
Hutton in the centre of defence. Oh my fucking christ.
-
Is KMac doing it on purpose again?
-
That looked a shocker to me.
-
Come on you fucking Lions!
-
Red card surely
-
Bacuna has scored for Reading at smethwick.
-
Why can’t we start like Millwall have started against us? Second bottom Millwall FFS.
Oh yeh, my bad KMac gave the team talk. Probably still moanig his mates were binned a couple days ago.
Edit: LOL
-
YYEEEEEEEEESSSS. Get in Tammy
-
villa goal
-
Goooooooooooool
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Goal - Abraham
-
Yesss
-
Goooooooaaaalllllll!
-
Great free kick!
-
Bruce Stay Out !!!
-
You beautiful man Abraham!
-
Get in!
-
Henry at Millwall? true?
WM haven't spotted any of the likely candidates there
-
Auxerre have equalised against Lens. 1-1.
-
I've always said that Macdonald would make a great manager
....Of our local B&Q
-
Like I always said, KMac is a genius!
-
Taylor looks like he’s been targeted. Another disgraceful challenge. He’s struggling
-
Henry at Millwall? true?
WM haven't spotted any of the likely candidates there
They're all at the Britannia Hotel in New Street, watching on the telly.
-
Formation?
-
Another red card challenge from them, luckily their player seemed to hurt himself more than his intended victim.
-
Pay whatever it takes to land Tammy perm.
-
Any links? I need to see this miracle with my own eyes!
-
football looks good they are playing
-
We look a different side
-
Jeff Stelling skulling the Kool Aid on SSN.
'Only two defeats. Bruce sacking very very harsh.'
Take that run of form over a campaign and we might only have eight defeats. We'd still be in the mix to go down.
-
Any streams for this knocking around?
-
I'm listening on WM DAB - can't find any rivulets
-
Any streams for this knocking around?
I just forked out for the AVTV season pass. Better than nothing.
-
Fucking hell what lovely footwork from Tammy
-
I'll take a link to a stream too gents, if one is going..
-
Grealish and McGinn are making these lot look like a right bunch of cloggers.
-
I'll take a link to a stream too gents, if one is going..
Me too, thanks. UTV
-
Grealish and McGinn are making these lot look like a right bunch of cloggers.
Where's Jack playing? Is he still wide left or behind Tammy?
-
any updates on who might be in the crowd? Hoping it’s Pep, but will settle for Klopp, Ancelotti, Fonseca, Wenger, Sir Alex etc
-
save by Nyland
-
Really good save by Nyland
-
Fucking hell Tuanzebe, that was pathetic mate.
-
It's Kevin Macdonald. Makes sense now.
-
Dear pundits and friends of Steve 'lovely man and promotion specialist' Bruce: we lost, he's sacked, get over it!
-
Grealish and McGinn are making these lot look like a right bunch of cloggers.
Where's Jack playing? Is he still wide left or behind Tammy?
Seems to be:
Nyland
Bree Tuanzebe Hutton Taylor
Bjarnason
Elmo McGinn Hourihane Grealish
Abraham
Although Grealish is all over the pitch so hard to see where he *should* be playing. (In a good way).
-

Actually scratch that, Hourihane seems to be further left than Grealish.
-
Much more movement and quicker play
-
Fucking hell Tuanzebe, that was pathetic mate.
He got pushed in the back. Ref blind.
-
As it stands we are 8th, 5 points off top, 1 point away from play offs. This division is there for the taking if we get the next manager right.
-
Bollocks
-

This with bells on. The rest of the football world thought we were mad for wanting him out so soon into the season but we were only going one direction.
-
shite
-
fuck off 1-1
-
Fuck off iMac!
-
Fuuuuuck
-
Pathetic defending. Got to win the first ball, and pick up runners. What do they do all week?
-
Our defence and keeper are seriously, seriously shite. Signing that plonker Nyland was worthy of the sack itself, he is fucking shite.
-
I'm somehow watching a stream which is a Villa bloke watching Millwall TV. Apart from I can't find any trace of Millwall TV.
-
Yet another game without a clean sheet. Fucking useless.
-
Fuck me. We want promotion but can't even beat the sides at bottom let alone the top. Whoever gets the job had better be good at it.
-
As it stands we are 8th, 5 points off top, 1 point away from play offs. This division is there for the taking if we get the next manager right.
You did it.
-
Can we hire Bruce again just so as we can sack him again? It's his fault it's 1-1.
-
I'm convinced Bruce deliberately systematically dismantled this defence - bringing in worse 'keepers, not replacing Terry, sending Elphick and RDL out on loan on top of playing players out of position. First priority of the new manager is to shore things up at the back
-
Via PM by request only please.
-
We are at sixes and sevens defensively.
-
I do hope the new manager bins Hutton. A car crash of a defender. Isn't he supposed to be quick?
Come on Villa. We were looking comfortable 5 minutes ago.
-
Can we hire Bruce again just so as we can sack him again? It's his fault it's 1-1.
No. He’ll get a jammy point, tell us we are wankers for doubting we could get a point at Millwall and keep his job for another 3 months.
-

I'd never get tired of sacking that ******.
-

We’re going to have all of this lot for a while yet.
-
midfield two of McGinn and Bjarnason providing no cover to the car crash behind them.
-
We are at sixes and sevens defensively.
There or thereabouts defensively.
-
Pathetic defending. Got to win the first ball, and pick up runners. What do they do all week?
who didnt bother tracking Ferguson for that goal?
-
We really are a very, very ordinary side. Steve Bruce has left us with a pile of shit to sort out.
-

I'm not sure, yet. AVTV doesn't show replays...
Should have been one of our midfielders.
Edit-it was Taylor
-
Backed both sides to score, nailed on!
-
KMAC out!
-
Hang on I though we were a different side ten minutes ago?
-
Brilliant from Grealish.
-
Lovely by Grealish. We need more players on his wavelength.
Bree slowing it down and giving it to Elmo doesn't excite me.
Whip the ball in Bree, get some players busting a gut to get in the box.
-
Hang on I though we were a different side ten minutes ago?
I wish we were one who could win occasionally.
-
Nyland....shit kick, inviting pressure. Stop it!
-
Our defence and keeper are seriously, seriously shite. Signing that plonker Nyland was worthy of the sack itself, he is fucking shite.
Not Sure why you blame the keeper here?

-
We have this unbelievable ability to make every team we play against look like the league leaders
-
It’s whoever got beat at the far posts fault. Was it Abraham?
-
Tuanzebe and Hourihane are as soft as shite
-
We have this unbelievable ability to make every team we play against look like the league leaders
That back 5 hasn't got any leaders in it
-

That back 5 hasn't got any leaders in it
Or defenders.
-
It’s whoever got beat at the far posts fault. Was it Abraham?
Yes looked to be.
Ferguson had about 5 yards of space to hit the knockdown though, not acceptable
-

Think it's Taylor who gets surprised ballwatching
-

Who was marking Ferguson when the free kick was taken, as he switched off and left him?
-
I know this isn’t a popular opinion to hold, but Jack Grealish is once again entering that all fart no shit zone. Not much of substance almost any time he gets the ball.
-
Didn’t see it but if Taylor is in the team he fucks up often.
-
We have been seriously undone at free kicks so far this season.
We need a coach!
-
I know this isn’t a popular opinion to hold, but Jack Grealish is once again entering that all fart no shit zone. Not much of substance almost any time he gets the ball.
Certainly been the case for most of this season.
-
HT and Managerless are not losing and that’s a positive
-
With Thierry and Terry double act they’ll turn him round again.
-
Largely, incredibly one paced, boring football from us after conceding the equaliser.
Millwall's front players just look so much luckier than ours.
1-1 is a fair scoreline
-
Pretty shit ain’t we.
-
I know this isn’t a popular opinion to hold, but Jack Grealish is once again entering that all fart no shit zone. Not much of substance almost any time he gets the ball.
That’s been my opinion for 3 seasons...and he’s slid further down my particular scale by his love in with Spurzzzz the other week. He’s a natural born Spurzz player as per your description... all fart no shit.
-
We have been seriously undone at free kicks so far this season.
We need a coach!
But we have KMaC in charge who has been coaching all of our players for the past 10 years🤔
-
Fucking hellthat was poor......the last 20 mins was bruceball at its finest.
I can’t for a new manager to come in and teach this team how to play football. I don’t think we are too far gone....yet.
-
Played alright.
Grealish is playing in a much more suitable position. We're too narrow on the left and Elmo offers little offensively on the right.
Goal was as a result of being drawn towards the ball.
These are a snidey long ball bunch, but we've dealt with it by and large.
Unsure what criticism Nyland deserves. Made a cracking save and the goal was ball watching and a huge deflection. Kicking has been too long.
Need a wide outlet on for some better delivery and improve our movement.
-
Auxerre lost 1-2 against Lens. Both of my teams are shite and in the second division. Tsk!
-
Dear Football Gods
When will this misery end?
-
Get Adomah and Bolasie on the wings and go direct down the flanks. We're not moving the ball quick enough to pass our way up the pitch and they've been right in our faces since the equaliser. Get their full backs going the other way and we can win this.
-
I think grealish is playing better today , some killer balls to the wide men , looking to run forward
-
We have been seriously undone at free kicks so far this season.
We need a coach!
we need some players with height and aggression, Elmo is the only one out there able to compete in the air.
I've been impressed with Grealish from what Ive seen, having to drop deeper because the two behind him are so poor, but by far our best player out there.
Of the two, Id get McGinn off actually, game has passed him by, struggling to get around the pitch and offering no presence whatsoever in front of back 4.
As for the defence :o
-
Millwall's recent form: LDLLLLD
-
Not sure what people were expecting, I saw the Millwall - Leeds game and Leeds were lucky to come away with a point. Millwall work very hard and make it very difficult for the opposition. We've done okay, certainly looking more like a team than recent weeks. Ads point about Nyland kicking too long is something I've noticed since he's been with us. It's a shame the players can't get further forward to take advantage of the lads kicking ability. I can't think of a keeper that could kick the ball so far. Jimmy Cumbes but that was out of his hands.
-
Millwall's recent form: LDLLLLD
Hmm, wonder what the last letter is going to be?
-
Abraham has been far too isolated, someone needs to closer to him. Grealish never gets near the box, its ok looking great 40 yards from goal.
-
Fucking hellthat was poor......the last 20 mins was bruceball at its finest.
I can’t for a new manager to come in and teach this team how to play football. I don’t think we are too far gone....yet.
I think the goalkeeping and defensive situations are going to hamper us until they can be rectified in January. We just don't look like keeping clean sheets at the minute and that is always going to hold a team back.
-
Abraham has been far too isolated, someone needs to closer to him. Grealish never gets near the box, its ok looking great 40 yards from goal.
Id bring Bolasie on at half time for that purpose and go a bit more direct.
That Millwall left back is hopeless, need to get him behind him more.
Not Grealish's fault, the two behind him arent getting on the ball, hence he has to drop deep.
-
Fuck. What a start to the second half
-
Can't clear the ball again!
-
WE ARE FUCKING SHIT
-
No one winning any headers
-
Fuuuuuck ooooooofffff!
-
Shit defence, shit keeper, fuck off.
-
That was some real shit defending.
-
Fuck off Bruce you spud headed twat.
-
I hope whoever is lined up to be manager ISN'T in the crowd today, they'll take one look and fuck right off.
-
Dear Football Gods
When will this misery end?
Not soon then!
-
Predictable shite !!!! Have Millwall won this season ?
-
I know this isn’t a popular opinion to hold, but Jack Grealish is once again entering that all fart no shit zone. Not much of substance almost any time he gets the ball.
Certainly been the case for most of this season.
Most of this season only? Since 14–15 he has a whopping total of 9 goals and 12 assists. When you average that out over 4-and-a-half seasons it's laughable.
-
Crikey that was super shit.
-
The new manager is going have to be a miracle worker with the defenders he'll have. Or be a 30 year old John Terry.
-
1 league win all season, and here come Villa to give them their second.
-
As the table stood at the start of this half, Millwall were bottom, with one win in 11. We are a disgrace of a side.
-
Has there ever been a more overrated bunch of underachievers. This lot are a fucking disgrace.
-
1 league win all season, and here come Villa to give them their second.
Of course they have
-
Sort this out Villa, to win you need to score and not concede, footballers ah...
-
And nearly 3 months before we can start trying to fix the defence that twathead left us with.
-
But of course sacking Bruce was the wrong decision his media mates will tell us, keeping Bruce as long as we did has led to this. Good luck to the new block coming in, flecking shambles.
-
Got the wolves game on my other screen. Needless to say, the difference is depressing.
-
Their goal came from the simple fact we still don't know how to take a throw in.
-
we are a total basketcase
-
quality run from Grealish, this is the best Ive seen him this season.
-
Still playing under the Bruce concept of grinding a result out.
-
I hope whoever is lined up to be manager ISN'T in the crowd today, they'll take one look and fuck right off.
Thierry, le prochain vol à destination de Bruxelles est le 18h50 de British Airways au départ de Londres Heathrow.
-
Got the wolves game on my other screen. Needless to say, the difference is depressing.
Are we still taking the piss out of their fans for thinking they're good as they currently sit 4 points from the top of PL?
-
Unlucky Bree
-
Much better.
-

That’s been my opinion for 3 seasons...and he’s slid further down my particular scale by his love in with Spurzzzz the other week. He’s a natural born Spurzz player as per your description... all fart no shit.
What love in would that be? The one where he downed tools and demanded to be sold to Spurs or the one where he didn't make any comment, didn't kick up a fuss when he didn't move to Spurs and subsequently signed a new long term contract at Villa?
-
So we are paying all of Bollasese wages of Gbp 70/80k per week but not playing him. I bet Everton couldn't believe their luck.
-
C'mon you villa boys, see this lot of..
-
Unlucky Bree
brilliant play from Grealish and Elmo, Bree had to score that header
-
I saw McGinn do it first half, and Thor do it about 5 minutes ago; hoofing the ball in the opposite direction that they're facing. Hit and hope.
Shocking play.
-
Lucky escape - yet again crap defending of a corner
-
We are relentlessly wank.
-
Fucks sake, lucky it's only 2-1
-
Stated positively but soon fell back into the old shit ways
-
Fuck they've hit the bar now
-
Unlucky Bree
That was great football, If someone can get this defence working and get the atytack working like this regularly we've got a good side, that's why Bruce was so shit, it takes a special sort of incompetence to make us look as shit as we have this season.
-
We are a fucking mess.
-
This is why you were sacked Bruce, look what a fucking shambles we’ve been left with.
-
We're currently getting schooled by the side bottom of division 2. What a time to be alive.
-
We are relentlessly wank.
Explains why some of the players are clearly blind...
-
We're currently getting schooled by the side bottom of division 2. What a time to be alive.
For the second time in a week.
-
Yet again, our expensively assembled squad is being out muscled by a group of bang average footballers.
-
Indeed it’s fucking disgraceful.
-
God this is depressing
-
Still, at least Bruce turned the ship around and stabilised us.
-
Kodjia coming on for Elmo.
-
Kodjia for Elmo? How about some width?
-
Still, at least Bruce turned the ship around and stabilised us.
Yep and just like a ship when it sinks, to the bottom.
-
Kodjia coming on for Elmo.
-
Baggies will walk this league
-
Everyone we play ends up looking like Brazil
-
Fuck me carved open like a knife though butter again.
-
We could be 4 or 5 down here, what the fuck is going on.
-
McGinjured
-
Baggies will walk this league
Not sure...they're almost as bad as us at keeping clean sheets.
-
Everyone we play ends up looking like Brazil France.
FTFY.
-
Kodjia coming on for Elmo.
Well this is good!!, Just read the runes and Kodja scores....
-
The coaching has been absolutely abysmal for years now.
-
No it’s not. We are not getting promoted this year - new manager will need time to rebuild the back 5 and reshape / remold the forward 6 - this stuff about we have the best squad in the league is nonsense - our defense is easily one of the worst in this league.
-
Baggies will walk this league
No chance, their manager is a novice and hasn't already got 4 promotions under his belt.
Mind you, they booed the team off at HT, I wonder if anyone will call those twats fickle.
-
McGinjured
KMcack.
-
Seems to be no leadership in the side...it's like John Terry was the only one who had any character about them.
-
How either or both of our midfield two haven't been replaced yet beggars belief
-
It’s fucking embarrassing, the state the defence has been left it.
-

Bolasie for McGinn?

Bolasie for McGinn

Blues a point behind us currently
-
I've reached the end with this shower of shit
-
Come on Yannick turn this around, at least we’ll have some width.
-
This is an embarrassing shambles. How many points have we taken from teams who have been in the bottom four when we have played them?

Bolasie witha nasty challenge. Lucky it's only a yellow.
-
At least MacDonald can go back to bullying the U23s after this.
-
Baggies will walk this league
Not sure...they're almost as bad as us at keeping clean sheets.
No it’s not. We are not getting promoted this year - new manager will need time to rebuild the back 5 and reshape / remold the forward 6 - this stuff about we have the best squad in the league is nonsense - our defense is easily one of the worst in this league.

Technically we are the second worst but I take your point and agree with the rest of your post. ;D

Ha ha, brilliant. That's firmly stuck in my head now.

Doesn’t matter if you score more than the opposition. Highest goal scorers currently 3-1 up
-
That's a red card all day long for Bolasie

Bravo.
-
If we close our eyes and pray really really hard we may sneak a point today. Against the side bottom of the fucking league.
-

He can fuck off as well. How many players has he really pushed forward. Even now when are shit, there is no one to step straight up for us.
-
Oh and you know your defence is shit and you're fielding a bit of a makeshift defence, so the logical thing to do is to include 0 defenders on the bench.

Well it also didn’t help if the former manager never wanted to play kids instead going for old men.

Two sides of the same coin.

Good job we didn't loan out any defenders.......oh
-
Caretaker managers often get good results and there’s usually a sense of players pulling together to get results for a much respected club man. The total failure of MacDonald to get a song out of the players in these situations on several occasions says it all about him.
-
Bruce's legacy is that defence..

Ominously, the U23 manager wasn't keen on playing the kids either.

Eric Black?
-
The U-23s did play last night though and won 8-0.
-
I can see why Taylor hasn't been selected lately
-
Pile of absolute fucking shit. Who in their right mind would want to take this poisoned chalice on?
-
Who ever comes in inherits a team with one centre half so he’s gonna have a job on his hands.

Same for that twat. A sign of what a shambles we’ve been right to the core for bloody years. If Bruce steadied the ship and sorted out the dressing room I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.
-
his scoring record isnt bad, but havent been impressed with Abraham's general play since he arrived
Ball gets stuck under his feet a lot, movement is very poor
Bree has been much better second half at right back
-
We have been comprehensively outplayed. Make no mistake, we're diabolical.
-
SHA only a point from us now despite winning only twice this season.
That's how bad things are. Wish I was surprised though.
-
Bitters thrashing the team we struggled to draw with; Jeez, the next manager / coaching team had better be good.
-
We have been comprehensively outplayed. Make no mistake, we're diabolical.
Whoever comes in has a hell of task with this squad. We are so lacklustre and bland before we even discuss the disaster of a defence. All of the keepers and literally every defender is at any given moment a massive liability.
-

I was about to enquire how is our general play, Christ!
Can we sack Bruce again. I need something to make me feel better.
-
The fact that Bruce isn't in the dugout or technical area has made absolutely no difference whatsoever, that really is desperate.
-
Horrifying to watch.
-
Fuck the fuckers
-
In other news, Grabban has grabbed one for Forest.
-
Albert on for Hourihan
-

KMac isn’t any different to Bruce. Anyone who in the press conference mentions his mates getting sacked is complicit in our current issues. I’d bin KMac as soon as possible also.
-
That's the Championship......I'll get my coat.
-
I hate how shit we are. How many fucking goals have we conceded this season?

Letting Elphick and Steer go on loan does look almost like wilful sabotage on the part of Bruce.

This.

Fucking shit Jack. Just fucking shit
-
Fucking hell Grealish! Useless, should have sold him while he was still worth something.
-
Formation now seems to be 4-1-1-4.
-
I hate how shit we are. How many fucking goals have we conceded this season?
20 I think in the league. At this stage of the season that’s scandalous
-
What on earth are our players doing? So so poor. No pace, no skill, no passion on display.
Ambling about like pensioners. Fucking abysmal.
-
Is it just me or is grealish just not as good as the hype. Great on the ball but it's easy on the half way line. Does absolutely nothing in the last third. A luxury that upsets the balance of our team and one we can ill afford. Wish we'd taken the money.
-
This is a fucking disgrace.
-

Is Lambert manager again?
-
This is exactly why the next manager must be someone the players and fans can get excited about.
-
the remainder of the season is all about the new manager building for next year. ten points off the top now after an easy start. hard to believe how we find ourselves in this position after all the money we've spunked
-
Grealish is performing nowhere near his apparent talent.
-
Really really poor you'd think we're in a relegation fight. I think we are

Not even close. He’s not a player that should be at any top tier PL club that’s for sure.
-
Total dog crap... we are a shambles. Don’t worry we can rebuild for next season. Aaarrgghh. Rinse and repeat.

He's got way more talent than say, Maddison at Leicester, he just does fuck all with it. Nowhere near enough goals and assists for a player of his ability. Trouble is, he thinks he's better than he is.
-
Are they really putting in 100%. I don't think so!
-
How shit is Taylor? That was worse than schoolboy defending
-
Grealish is performing nowhere near his apparent talent.
My thoughts exactly, he's lacking direction and coaching on and of the pitch, he's become or becoming just another player.
-
AVTV off. Fucking hell.
Time for wine.
-
"It's been an abject second half performance"
-
How shit is Taylor? That was worse than schoolboy defending
a thoroughly useless footballer
when our left back options are Hutton or Taylor, we really havent a prayer of doing anything this season
-
This is shit beyond description
-
"It's been an abject second half performance"
Standard stuff.
-
Thank you Steve Bruce for leaving us in this fucking mess. You absolutely useless wanker. And fuck off Kevin McDonald too.
-
Behind in 93 minutes - counter and no one in the box 👏👏👏👏👏👏
-
Shit. Wankers. Fuck off.
-
Full time and fuck off!
-

-
Just fuck off!
-
What's really frustrating is that we have Clark, Suliman, Elphick and RDL out on loan, I'd argue that's a better defence than the one we had today.
-
Utter shambles. All the players should be totally embarrassed by the individual and collective performance.
-
Thank fuck it's a break now
