Dear god, that line-up looks shit.

Any C’MON VILLA!!
-
Blimey that looks alarming.
-
JACK!!
-
Merge mine Mr. Shin. Glenn fucking Whelan.
-
Good to see Green is being rewarded for his good form.
-
No Jedi is he off then ?
Pleased to see RHM on bench but no Green starting is just shit
-
Green not starting, he's been on fire preseason.
looks crap that.
-
4-4-1-1?
-
I hadn't realised Lijhaj had joined Hull.
Anyway one all draw for me.
COYL
-
He’s gone and picked the most predictable Steve Bruce side possible.
-
Typical Bruce ...plays 3 5 2 most of pre season ......... so tonite its 4 4 2 so great plan ......
Why no Andre Green? Madness
-
No Green? Fucking fistface potato twat.
-
It’s all so predictable.
-
Start slowly in true Bruce style until around 60 minutes when Green and RHM come on, form a devastating homegrown attacking trio with Grealish, are never out of the team again and we storm to promotion.
Or a dull 0-0 draw.
-
Good to see Green is being rewarded for his good form.
Unbelievable isn't it ? Actually it isn't.
-
Whelan and Taylor. Brilliant. Can't work out what shape that will be - presumably pushing Elmo up to wide right, which would be typical Bruce when Andre Green is sat there. Maybe it will be 5-2-3. Who knows.
-
Come on Villa three points please.
-
5-2-3?
-
Looks 4 1 4 1 to me with Elmo and Albert wide - can imagine the team will look very different v Wigan
-
Gotta be 3 5 2 hasn't it ? Taylor and Elmo at wing back?
-
Green is a promising youngster who has been playing well pre season and Bruce won't be impressed by that.
-
How can he justify that team. Real chance to start again but back to the same old dross. RDL and green supposedly the standouts in pre season don’t get picked
Captain cautious strikes again.
-
Bruce frustrates the hell out of me with his negativity.
-
I think I'd rather start with 10 men than have Taylor in the team. He's like the 12th man....for the opposition.
-
Apart from Boon, I llike that line up. Green to come on at the end, and score the winner.

Exactly
-
No Green? Fucking fistface potato twat.
Lol. Great stuff!
-
Even with that team we should still beat Hull. Sticking with my 0-4 Villa win.
-

RDL isn't even on the bench, injury maybe? Must be something like that, because Bree is almost as bad as Taylor, and why have three central midfielders on the bench? Especially when one of them is the criminally useless Gardner.

Isn’t RDL suspended for the first couple of games.
-
Match day 1st game of the season in full swing
Music Dance Optimism
Suddenly one of those record scratching sounds and everyone stops still when the stupid idiotic line up is announced
Goodbye Bruce in 7 matches time !
-

Exactly
How about Start on the front foot with Green and not have to rely on someone to come off the Bench.
-
Is it 4-4-2 with Elmo on one wing and Albert on the other? If so, a central midfield of Whelan and Hourihane looks a bit weak. One who can't run at all, and one who can't tackle.
-
Where's the positivity?
2-1 Villa.
FTF

According to one or two people on Twitter, yes he is. He got sent off in his last game over in Belguim.
Bit of a dour line up if i'm honest. Bjarnasson for Whelan and Green for Elmo wold have made it a lot better.
-
Steer, Elmo, Chester, Elphick, hutton, Adomah, bjanarsson, Hourihane, green, Grealish, Kodjia
would have been what i would have gone for
-
He said that he feels like he’s starting all over again. Well he clearly hasn’t learned anything from what has gone before.
The silver cloud for me to that lineup is he won’t be around long like this. Obviously hope I’m wrong but it’s tough as a fan right now as you always want the team to do well but the sooner the owners figure this guy out the better.
-
Unless the injury curse strikes again how the feck does he leave RDL out after the pre season he has had.
I don't consider Jedi a great loss tbh as I think Whelan is better there unless they have a big Ariel threat.
For me the shape is not important it's the positive way we should play on the front foot as they look there for the taking.
I'm sure we can guess the rest

aye, even gardner must be wondering what is going on. 7 years ago he made his debut for us and he's still here.

That's what I'd have gone for Clampy. Although with Elmo at right back, and Hutton at left back too.
-
Disappointing line-up. Bruce has gone too defensive, doesn't he learn after the play-off final?
-
Steer, Elmo, Chester, Elphick, hutton, Adomah, bjanarsson, Hourihane, green, Grealish, Kodjia
would have been what i would have gone for
Hang around, they'll be a job going soon.
-
Noted on RDL
So frustrating the fans would get behind him more if he was giving the likes of green birkir more of a go. The likes of whelan Taylor didn’t do much last season there another year older? So I don’t see them improving
-
So not a ball kicked in anger and you've all made up your mind.
And who am I to argue with that shit house selection.?
-
Steer, Elmo, Chester, Elphick, hutton, Adomah, bjanarsson, Hourihane, green, Grealish, Kodjia
would have been what i would have gone for
Hang around, they'll be a job going soon.
Soonest, sooner, fucking next week with any luck.
-
Hopefully the last time we see some of these players. RDL being sent off in Belgium should not transfer to the English league as far as I am aware. No Jedinak? Fucking Whelan!!!
-
No disrespect to Gardner, but how has he got on the bench with two other midfielders on there.
-
Glenn Whelan. Glenn fucking Whelan.
When will Bruce ever learn?
-
"That's the Championship for you"
Fuck off Bruce.
Just getting my vocal chords in order.
-
Well you’ve made it very difficult for yourself Bruce, you better hope we win.

Agreed Risso. Taylor wouldn't have been anywhere near my starting 11.
-
Typical Bruce ...plays 3 5 2 most of pre season ......... so tonite its 4 4 2 so great plan ......
Why no Andre Green? Madness
How do you know it’s 4-4-2?
-
Here we go again, same old same old...
-
Goes to prove that a leopard doesn’t change its spots. Taylor and Whelan In.... and one of our best pre-season performers Green doesn’t get a look in?! What the actual fuck?!
If we don’t win this, heads have got to roll TONIGHT. Absolutely no point persevering with this Neanderthal... going nowhere fast.
No excuse- he’ll blame losing 5-6 loan players and not being able to replace them, but in reality, he’s got some absolute gems in the youth setup, he’s just too archaic and forward thinking to see it.
Was willing to give him a shot after his awful year last season, but that lineup is disgraceful.
-
There was not single moment in pre season that I thought to myself "there's a quality player who should be starting vs Hull" with regard to Neil Taylor.
-
Looks like yer typical "don't lose" Bruce away gambit. I guess if he's hoping for re-inforcements in the next month to save his skin, a few draws won't worry him.
-
What was it Bruce saying about the new owners wanting young hungry players. Wonder what they think of that line up.
-
The average age of that side is pushing 30
-
Strong in attack, ok in midfield. Bit patchy at the back though. Big game for Elphick and Taylor (who I don't think is all that bad)
-
I'm sure we will see Green at some point, and fucking GREAT to see Jack in there!
-
Grealish is everything I love about football.
Whelan........
-
Where’s Terry Henry when you need him! 🙄
-
It is likely Jack's last game for us tonight. If he's going then I hope he adds a few million to what he's worth or at least justifies what we are asking for him. Big night.
-
Keep it tight, give it to Jack and hope he can produce a bit of magic. It's not the most sophisticated game plan in the world, is it? God help us if we do lose him this week.
That cannot be the best lineup available with this squad. The good news is that it will be quite difficult to bring on a sub and make the team worse.
All that said, there should be enough there to win tonight. Let's do this!
-
It is likely Jack's last game for us tonight. If he's going then I hope he adds a few million to what he's worth or at least justifies what we are asking for him. Big night.
Would it be bad of me to hope he picks up an injury that would be just enough to prevent a transfer?
-
He could have easily chosen Elmo at RB, Hutton LB, Green and BB in the line up instead of Taylor and Whelan. Only silver lining (out of necessity due to Hogan being injured) is RHM on the bench.

We bought Downing despite an injury so that likely won't stop it. And even if it did we are left with an injured, disappointed player, 30m less in the kitty who cannot contribute for us either.
-
Taylor is bollocks
how the ell is Green not starting - he is on fire
Thor should be in
RDL? Is he banned
Bruce - you never feckin change , you say it feels like starting all over again , well it bloody doesnt.
-
SB saying squad was too old last season and he should have changed it more often. No shit Sherlock
-

So he does the same tonight.

Certainly sounds like it based on Bruce's comments just now. That 'Milner v West Ham game all over again. Depressing stuff.
-
Who thinks Kodjia will get a hat-trick then?
Thought not.
-

At this point I'll be happy if gets three shots
-
Lee Hendrie not impressing me on Sky. It's like listening to some bloke babbling on while you're having a piss in the pub.
-
Tuanzebe signed for a season long loan, so hopefully he'll remove one of the old sweats
-
Maybe Jack's response to the Villa fans at the end of tonights game, might give a clue about him going or not! Come on the Villa!
-
Sorry, I have not been paying much attention during the summer holidays but where is Moreira?
-

I don't think he has any say in it whatsoever.
-
Disappointed Green isn't starting.
If we are playing 3-5-2 don't understand why De Laet isn't in there either.
Hull 11 is very beatable though.
-
Sorry, I have not been paying much attention during the summer holidays but where is Moreira?
I just cant figure that transfer out. Bruce said he's one for the future.
-
3 seconds in and the first aimless hoof from Hutton goes astray.
Buckle up kids, it's going to be one hell of a ride.
-
Taylor off to a flier.
-
De Laet is suspended I believe, picked up the suspension on loan at Antwerp last season.
Shame Green isn’t starting ahead of Elmo.....
-
FFS. I tuned in hoping to watch the Villa, but Sky seem to be showing Hull v Hearts?
-
bloody ell they got Kane playing for them
-
Great stuff Taylor
-
Poor start.
-
The right side/Taylor is being targeted by Hull because he is utter shit.
-
who had 63 seconds on the 'first time Taylor gets skinned' sweepstake?
-
Lee Hendrie not impressing me on Sky. It's like listening to some bloke babbling on while you're having a piss in the pub.
What strange pissoirs you must frequent.
-
We play so so deep kodj totally isolated
-
who had 63 seconds on the 'first time Taylor gets skinned' sweepstake?
ive got 17 minutes for the first elphick mistake
-
Bruce looks like he should be getting cross on Question Time about a soft Brexit.
-
Way too deep and Kod has no support.
-
We’ve barely had possession. Who could have predicted that when the line up was announced?
-
For fucks sake.
-
Shit keeper
-
1-0. Steer error.
-
Fucking idiot Elphick.
-
Bruce looks like he should be getting cross on Question Time about a soft Brexit.
I vouch we'll be soon getting cross about a soft goal from a Bruce selection.
-
hmm. not looking good at the back at all.
-
Well we got what we deserved with that start.
-
Sigh
-
Absolutely fucking bollocks
-
who had 63 seconds on the 'first time Taylor gets skinned' sweepstake?
ive got 17 minutes for the first elphick mistake
You were ten minutes out.
-
Good work lads. Utter shambles.
Well now you have to change your game plan you idiot.
-
Woeful
-
Ha ha ha ha what a start, well done everyone.
-
Barny should be in this team not sitting on the wood.
-
What the fuck was a Elphick doing there? He pulled his leg away at the last second.
-
What a load of fucking rubbish. The only consistency you get with Fistface is consistently shit football.
-
That goal was almost comical genius.
Fucking shambolic start. Everything I expected from this line up
-
Bruce looks like he should be getting cross on Question Time about a soft Brexit.
I vouch we'll be soon getting cross about a soft goal from a Bruce selection.
QED
-
Elphick hasn't improved then.
-
Lucky goal. Their fucking manager applauding
-
We go again.
-
Very lucky goal I thought
-
Elphick bottled it .. in case he kicked the post. Pathetic
-
Elphick’s not lost his touch then. What was all that Morris dancing on the goaline for their goal?
-
Rubbish! I'm sure Elphick could've got his head to that!
-
How does Kodjia still think his cast is "lucky"?
-
Time for Whelan to step up.
Sorry,step down.
-
Long whack to Kodjia. Kill me now
-
We look fucking dreadful.
-
Is this the oldest Villa team ever?
-
Say it with me everybody. "That's the Championship for you."
Anyone still want Bruce here? Anyone?
-
How does Kodjia still think his cast is "lucky"?
FFS, is that what it is?? I was about to ask why his arm is perpetually broken.
-
Rubbish! I'm sure Elphick could've got his head to that!
He could have got his foot to it.
-
Apparently Adomah is playing.
-
Fundamentally ther'es two ways two ways to play football. This is the shit way!!!!
-
Rubbish! I'm sure Elphick could've got his head to that!
He could have got his foot to it.
Does he still headbutt the post before the game? He looked as though he bottled out of clearing it.
-
We're gonna equalise, here.
-
Is this the oldest Villa team ever?
Don't know but one of the shitest for many a year.
-
1-1! Elphick.
-
Told ya.
-
Mad Tom
-
ElphIIIIIICCCKK
-
He’s still bloody crap!
-
Get in!
-
Great delivery from Grealish.
-
Yes!
-
Get in!
-
YESSSSSSSS
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
No celebration, I think that says it all.
-
No celebration?
-
This could be an 8-8 draw with these two defences
-
What a ball from Jack. Now fucking turn up Villa.
-
Thank you Hull for the shocking defending.
-
Tommy Elphick, the [wherever Elphick is from] Pele.
-
More shit defining, happily by the other awful defence! Get in
-
That was truly awful defending, which was nice.
-
Well taken goal.
Our kit is awful.
-
Elllllllphick to Elphiiiiiiiiiiiiick !
-
Shite, should have been 2 to them.
-
Tommy.Villain to Hero.
-
Tommy Elphick, the [wherever Elphick is from] Pele.
Brighton.
-
Great save from Jed there
-
No celebration, I think that says it all.
Makes up for his non attempted clearance
-
That goal has put £5 million on both their asking prices. £35,000,000 for Grealish, £5,000,003 for Elphick.
-
Tommy Elphick, the [wherever Elphick is from] Pele.
The Brighton Bonucci
-
Save Jed, dreadful defending again. What is the fucking point of Whelan?
-
Why the hell would he celebrate? We've all been on here saying he's shit. (I'm being generous - I haven't [yet] said it myself.)
But honestly. The lad can celebrate or not celebrate as he likes.
-
Good save Steer, more suspect defending from us though
-
Caught again there. He's been nothing short of catastrophic for us. I was hoping for a miraculous improvement but it looks unlikely.
-
My pre-match prediction of 5-5 doesn't seem quite so daft now looking at these 2 defences.
-
What's the squiggly stuff before player names on the shirts?
Both sides have it.
-
Kod is the least central centre forward ever. Stay in the fecking middle
-
What's the squiggly stuff before player names on the shirts?
Both sides have it.
Something for charity I think.
-
How did Kodjia miss that.
-
Why the hell would he celebrate?
I think it was more to with his mistake.
-
We look a lot better
-
It must be 442 not 352. Hutton often further forward than Elmo, wouldn't / shouldn't be the case if he was a CB.
-
Caught again there. He's been nothing short of catastrophic for us. I was hoping for a miraculous improvement but it looks unlikely.
Are you having a laugh we are well on top here although we always have the capacity to implode
-
Good move that last atack
-
How did Kodjia miss that.
It looked like a great block by the defender.
-
That was good.
-

Brighton.
Woodingdean, to be precise.
*Does winky, ITK thing*
-
Kod being Kod
-
What's Kod's favourite 90s post-Brit-Pop band
Cast.
-
Sloppy Hourihane
-
Brilliant unselfish team play from Kodjia there.
-
Kodjia that is fucking dire.
-
Typical kodija.
-
Greedy bastard Kodjia
-
Great tackle by Kod to deny himself a good scoring chance.
-
Now he’s having a nice little lie down
-
Kodj is so greedy. And has a tiny head.
-
FFS Kodjia. Pass the fucking ball.
-

Its part of the EFL's support for mental health charity Mind.
-
He refuses to pass a football Kodja, greedy and self centred. Very poor but typical
-
Great tackle by Kod to deny himself a good scoring chance.
I'd laugh if I wasn't so utterly depressed right now!
-
Getting nothing off this referee as usual. They've spent the entire game kicking Grealish. Guarantee we get a player booked before they do.
-
Hull are mince, salad and yoghurt all in one.

-
Hull are mince, salad and yoghurt all in one.
We are hummus.Quite strong to begin with,but ultimately chickpeas at heart.
-
Better.
-
Hull have offered nothing and there goal was jammy
We should win this
-
Defence would be better with McCafu at left back and the Welsh Roberto Carlos playing for Newport County
-
That was good from Taylor.
-
This feels like a pre season friendly at the moment
-
Bjarnason must wonder what he’s still doing here. Starting in the World Cup for Iceland to being behind Whelan in the pecking order for Aston Villa in the Champiinship.
-
By now Bruce will be thinking about taking the midfield off and throwing a couple of forwards on to protect the 1-1.
-
Bjarni should be playing.
-
Who didn’t celebrate? Jack or Jed ?
-
Still no booking?
-
Jack’s control there was not Spurs worthy. He needs to stay with us.
-

More Prawn Cocktail ie Outdated, uninspiring & a waste of time & money.
-
They are hammering Jack
-
Do sky get a cut of any transfer of Jack?
You’d fucking think so the way the commentator is trying to flog him at every opportunity.

Poor starter?
-
Hull are dreadful.
-
I'd love us to hold on to Grealish but if there's one thing I won't miss if/when he goes, it's how my blood boils every time the referee ignores the amount of kicks he gets. It's little short of fucking outrageous.
-
Hull are dreadful.
We’re not much better
-
Bruce keeping it tight just before half time.Sorry ,15 mins to half time.

Phew
-
Alex Bruce in the crowd. Presumably wondering just HOW BAD he must be to not be considered good enough for either of these shite defences.
-
Albert with an absolute screamer. He's got a foot like a pensioner wearing slippers.
-
Hoping Green will come on and win this for us. Can’t believe he’s not playing.
-
Perhaps our strikers can introduce themselves to each other at halftime
-
See we’re still adopting the tactic of punting goal kicks wide and out of play.
-
Hoping Green will come on and win this for us. Can’t believe he’s not playing.
Disgraceful tbh

Bjarnason must wonder what he’s still doing here. Starting in the World Cup for Iceland to being behind Whelan in the pecking order for Aston Villa in the Champiinship.
Honestly think that is what made us fail against Fulham... Bruce really dont like Bjarnarson it seems. Pity. He puts both Conor and Jack in play by moving the ball up to them way faster.
-
Just seen Hourihane, didn't even know he was on the pitch. One of those players who look invisible unless he scores or hacks down a player who beat him.
-
We remind me of the Dutch Total Football of the 70s
Without the football bit.

We’ll done steer.

Crap from Whelan.

Grealish needs to be further up the bloody pitch

Grealish needs to be further up the bloody pitch

It’s like we’re playong a pre season friendly
-
Once again the away fans out perform the players.
-
Ref needs to pull out a yellow soon or this will get silly.
-
This cowardly refereeing is going to result in Grealish getting injured. It's Traore vs Notts County again.

-
Final delivery poor.

How have they not got a single yellow yet? Ridiculous stuff.

Fuck me Whelan is just shit

Whelan attempting a Hollywood pass
Hollywood Birmingham.

Kodjia looks very sluggish.
-
Elphick might have the worst ball control of any centre-half I've ever seen wearing the claret and blue.
-
We remind me of the Dutch Total Football of the 70s
Without the football bit.
I think it's just like watching Brazil.
Alan Brazil. In the queue for a kebab after a Saturday-night pub session.
Big piss patch down the front of his trousers.
-
We look like a team with a lot of draws in us again.
-
Perhaps our strikers can introduce themselves to each other at halftime
We're playing with strikers?
-
I see nothing that the influx of about 20 players wouldn't fix.
-
Is nobody in the John Terry, advisor to the ref role?
Didn't really do us any bloody good in the Final did it?
The point being: it might help if Chester got into the ref's ear about Jack being kicked about.
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.
Absolute pale imitation of the player he was. He looks finished to be honest.
-
I see nothing that the influx of about 20 players wouldn't fix.
And a manager.
-
Elphick might have the worst ball control of any centre-half I've ever seen wearing the claret and blue.
I’ll see your Elphick and raise you a Cuellar. The most technically un-Spanish Spanish footballer ever.
-
A bag of dog shit performance!I seriously enjoyed yesterdays game more. :( :( :(
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.
Absolute pale imitation of the player he was. He looks finished to be honest.
He's a greedy bastard, that's one of his problems.
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.
Starting to worry we’ve had the best of him.
-
I see nothing that the influx of about 20 players wouldn't fix.
Would a new manager to go with those be too much to ask for?
-
Hull are dreadful.
We’re not much better
Hopefully this is our crap half.
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.
Absolute pale imitation of the player he was. He looks finished to be honest.
Of course, Bruce sees them all in training and he judges them on merit.
-
What formation is he playing?
-
I miss the close season.
-
It might be that the world cup was full of good football. It might be that it's hot. Or it might just be that the Championship is largely attritional shite with occasional moments of excitement. That is what I hear when Bruce says "that's the Championship".
-
Hope this is our bad half.
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.
Absolute pale imitation of the player he was. He looks finished to be honest.
He's a greedy bastard, that's one of his problems.
Fine when you’re scoring......
-
Shhhhite.
-
we might win we might lose but one thing is for certain for me
this season will be exactly the same as last season under Bruce
good enough for the play offs in a workmanlike way
-
Elphick might have the worst ball control of any centre-half I've ever seen wearing the claret and blue.
I’ll see your Elphick and raise you a Cuellar. The most technically un-Spanish Spanish footballer ever.
Luna was even less talented, I reckon. Remember that thing where he used to put his hands behind his back all the time?
That goal at Arsenal was good, mind.
-

I think he’s also desperate for a goal and is trying way too hard. Being naturally greedy doesn’t help his cause.
-
Whelan reminds me of Baby faced Finlayson from the Beano.
-
christ we are bad to watch.
-
Pretty poor for the most part.

-
Oh well! French wine producers will be happy at my excessive consumption during this half and the one to come.
-
That was, uninspiring.
-
Fuck me, Bruce is meh isn't he?
-
What a load of garbage ....... Bruce has zero idea how to set a team up ......
-
Oh well! French wine producers will be happy at my excessive consumption during this half and the one to come.

How is it during an era of glorious Spanish football, that we ended up with three useless Spanish footballers?
-
Same as last season really the opposition are piss poor.
Instead of taking advantage we manage to dumb down to make them look half decent.
-
Looking at the half time stats. We've had 3 shots on target apparently. If it weren't for the goal I'd not have said we'd managed a single one!
-
Whelan gets pelters on here but at least he tries and gets on the ball even if he’s a bit shit. Where the feck has Hourihane been and what has he done?
-
That was, uninspiring.
That was, totalshite.
-
Oh well! French wine producers will be happy at my excessive consumption during this half and the one to come.
Splitter!
-
We could teach teams a thing or two about giving the ball away, finding the only empty bit of the area with our crosses and including bad players out of hope and desperation.
-
Chester is so shaky on the left with mad Tom next to him, Taylor is just Taylor, ditto Whelan and Kodjia a pale shadow of before. So slow in the build up too.
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.
Lazy. Greedy. Slow in movement and thought. Lacking any kind of team ethic. A diver and a bit of a coward.
-
Our passing at key moments has been awful.
-
Whelan gets pelters on here but at least he tries and gets on the ball even if he’s a bit shit. Where the feck has Hourihane been and what has he done?
Puh-leeze
-
I see your Tommy Elphick and Carlos Cuellar and raise you Paul Vertical Clearance Elliot.
-
Need Green on for Elmo and switch flanks with Albert. Controlling it but not very dangerous and the sort of game we can lose by giving them too much respect.
-
Whelan gets pelters on here but at least he tries and gets on the ball even if he’s a bit shit. Where the feck has Hourihane been and what has he done?
My thoughts exactly.Whelan gets pelters on here but at least he tries and gets on the ball even if he’s a bit shit. Where the feck has Hourihane been and what has he done?
Puh-leeze
I agree with Fred. He's almost absent.
-
Hourihane is playing? I missed the first 15 and thought we'd had a man sent off
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.
Lazy. Greedy. Slow in movement and thought. Lacking any kind of team ethic. A diver and a bit of a coward.
Otherwise ok?
He’s been bloody awful.
You might as well stick him on the left and play somebody else upfront.
-
Christ you lot, that wasn’t that bad especially considering the trauma we have been through the last few weeks. For the most part we were the better team and we all know now this won’t be our first 11 come 31 Aug. Chill out we are still Aston Villa and we are alive and kicking
-
Same as last season really the opposition are piss poor.
Instead of taking advantage we manage to dumb down to make them look half decent.
yep that's the thing with Bruce. You get the feeling he spent the entire week on the training ground going through how to stop Hull rather than how to beat them
-
Sat in a pub in the middle of Devizes, Wiltshire, the only two people who remotely give a fuck about the football are me and the lad. Two fellas sat next to me who watch Luton regularly who are here working have just said.. "How clueless are Villa?" Fucking Luton fans who have seen years of shit recognise how desperate we are. This is anti football, Elhomady, Whelan, Taylor I never want to see in a Villa shirt again, Steer ain't good enough and Kodja and Adomah need to liven up.
Not good enough. Bruce spends all summer playing 3 at the back with Green and does neither tonight. Absolute clown
-
Kodjia looks very sluggish.

Perfect summary. Languid style reminds me of Chris Waddle except Waddle could play
-
I think Whelan has played well. In fact we’ve been the better team.
-
I'm confused, was that our good half or bad half ?
-
Get Green on for Taylor, move Hutton to LB, Elmo to RB. Elmo is too wasteful in wide positions. We are moving the ball far too slow, which is the Bruce way I guess.
-
We were the better side, which doesn't alter that we were pretty crap and created very little.

With Bruce?
-
4-5-1 in disguise . Albert and Elmo too deep . Hourihane nowhere . Jack desperately trying to make something happen but kodjia totally isolated and making no effort . We've learned nothing from last year . Bruce out .
-

Not been interested since back from injury. You have to ask why? Must be a reason?

Easy son, take it steady . The nice lady and gentleman doctor in the white coats will be here any moment now....:)
-
This is going to be four-one. I'm not committing myself to say which way.
-
There is so much technical ability in our squad but Bruce insists on playing workers and keeping it tight. I honestly think we would be better without him

Whelan Hourihane combo is slow and lacking creativity. Kodjia needs to wake up. There for the taking if we up the tempo.
-
Is this Walking Football? I've read about it but never actually watched it before
-
Too slow and predictable.
-
We were the better side, which doesn't alter that we were pretty crap and created very little.
True, Although Hull have had 3 decent chances, we haven't actually created one in open play.

With Bruce?
Fair enough but having said all that why leave out Andre Green?
Is he going to have to wait until Aug 31st?
-
Bruce looks ill, like a heart attack waiting to happen.
-
See Kodjia is up tohis old tricks of pretending he’s really, really hurt.
-
We've no chance of going up this season have we? Hope I'm wrong,

Another foul on Grealish. No booking.

-
Started poorly again.
-
Referees in this league seem to have the attitude of "skilled player? How dare you. We won't protect you"
-
Last time we wore a kit like this we had the likes of Mark Kerr, Brendan Ormsby, Steve Foster and David Norton, so it could be worse. I think.

Green on for Kodjia please. Bristol have really had the last laugh on us with him, haven't they?
-
When Kod joined I thought he was brilliant if not a little greedy at times. Can't believe he bad he looks right now.
-
Kod passed the ball. I need a lie down as i'm in shock.
-
Christ, the size of Steve Bruce. Absolute colossal fatty.

Is this the same sport as that World Cup stuff that was on telly over the Summer?

Kodjia or Todgia?

Not really, he hasn't looked anywhere near the same since the injury. We of all clubs should know that happens to players.

That's what happens when you share a canteen with Steve Bruce.

Quality corner...
-
Every time I hear Jed Steer's name mentioned, I think of Bob Fleming's mate off The Fast Show. :o
-
Don’t mean to be alarmist lads. But we are going down.
-
How about a positive change Steve?
-
There are so many players I never want to see in a villa shirt.
Think we'd be left with a 5-a-side
-
This game has really got me pining for the World Cup in Russia.
-
What more could Green have done in pre-season to earn a start in this game?
-
This Hull team will be fighting relegation....we need to win against teams like this. Not accept the single point.
-
Christ this is boring
-
How about a positive change Steve?
He normally has to wait until it's too late
-
Don’t mean to be alarmist lads. But we are going down.
No we aren't. We ain't going up either though.
-
This Hull team will be fighting relegation....we need to win against teams like this. Not accept the single point.
Definitely.
-
After the world cup i expect to see the ref draw the shape of a television screen.
Only in this case it'd mean "turn this shit off"
-
What more could Green have done in pre-season to earn a start in this game?
Change his name to Ahmed Eissa Elmohamady Abdel Fattah.
-
How about a positive change Steve?
Hes probably kicking himself that he cant put Samba up front.
-
Get Green on.
We've hardly created anything aside from the goal.
-
What more could Green have done in pre-season to earn a start in this game?
Aged 10 years and lost a yard of pace.
-

No, with fuckface in charge we'll finish there or there abouts, and we'll go again! It's the law.
-
Steve Bruce:an away game is an opportunity for a draw.
-
Watching this reminds me of how much I love the beautiful game. So why am I still watching this fugly load of bollocks?
-
We won't score in open play ever again.
-
This is a bit too attacking for me. Get Bree on for Grealish, sure things up.
-
Taylor's reading of the game... wept.
-
This is a bit too attacking for me. Get Bree on for Grealish, sure things up.
I'd get Gardner on, we need some pace in midfield.
-
Hull actually carry an attacking threat which is alarming.
-
Good save by Steer even though it was offside
-
This is a bit too attacking for me. Get Bree on for Grealish, sure* things up.
*shore

Make a fucking change.

Williams prepared to...
-
30 minutes to change the game and Bruce is thinking about snacks.
-
I repeat, make a fucking change.
-
Double change from Hull, so at least someone's trying to win it.
-
You just know that Bruce is hapoy with a point and we'll end up losing 2-1
-
At least I've got last night's recorded episode of The Handmaid's Tale to cheer me up after this.
-
One manager trying to win it.
-
BB for Elphick.
Green for Whealan.
Convert to a back 4 with Thor DMC.
Rather obvious to me.
-
I repeat, make a fucking change.
Dean Smith would be nice.
-
Alex Bruce plays for Wigan which is why he's at the game. He's delivering a van load of pies to his dad.
-
It's incredible to think Bruce learned his trade under Alex Ferguson.
From the way his teams play, you'd think he takes his inspiration from Tiny Penis.
-
Still.
No.
Booking.
-
Was that a pen? Haven't seen the replay.
-
Gonna score here.
-
We are being hacked all over the pitch. Huge free kick now. Time for Hourihane to earn his corn.
-
Oh well. Can't be right all the time.
-
Still.
No.
Booking.
Still fucking shit.
-
Balls that was close
-
Green, at last.
-
Hurrah for Green!!!
-
Unlucky Conor. An inch back, that was creeping in.
-
Come on Andre.
-
Green to score the winner and do a Tony Morley celebration.
-
Not bad from Hourihane given it was only his second touch of the match
-
Would've kept Adomah on. We still have only one attacking player on the pitch who can actually run!
-
Come on Andre.
I will if he scores the winner.
-
I was really hoping Hull would bring on Long with Dicko
-
Hull will be round or abouts the bottom three, this isn’t good enough.
-
What more could Green have done in pre-season to earn a start in this game?
Change his name to Ahmed Eissa Elmohamady Abdel Fattah.
Which as I found out recently, is easy to do - https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll/make-an-adult-deed-poll
-
ELMO!!!!!
-
Ha ha, get innnnnn!
-
Get in! What the fuck happened?!
-
Great finish from Elmo.
The interplay from Green and Grealish before that was superb as well.
Not leading to the goal but the best play of the game for us so far.
-
Celebrate in their fucking fat faces Elmo
-
Never in any doubt.
-
Yesssssssss
-
YeS!! Anyway is good way!
-
Great finish Elmo! Now win Villa.
-
I was really hoping Hull would bring on Long with Dicko
Haha!
-
Green off, Bree on then..
-
Elmo!
-
Both goals gifted to us, it's nice to benefit from utterly shit play.
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
-
Great finish. The Egypt manager is a twat.
-
Bruce totally befuddled after he loses the 1-1.
-
Bruce totally befuddled after he loses the 1-1.
He’s going to have to find a way to get us back to 2-2 then hammer the lads afterwards for scoring twice.

Super super Al super Alan Hutton.

Cccccccaaaafffuuu!!!!
-
HA HA HA HA HA HA.....brilliant, just brilliant....its our season I tell thee
-
Fucking hell Hull are dire.
-
Fucking hell. Take that yer wankers
-
*goooooooooooool!
-
Fucking scenes
-
Fuck being the Scottish Cafu, he's the Scottish Pele!
-
I like Elmo, good pass from FUCK THAT.
Go on the Scottish Cafu!
-
Cafuuuuu!
-
Huttinhoooo!
-
Oh, now the ref get the yellow card out. twat.
-
The Scottish Cafu!!!!!!!!
-
This is just so sexy.
Thank you Villa.
-
McMessi!!
-
Now THATS a man that's loved by every fan!
What a goal!!!!!! Gamewinner!
-
Right make it 4.
-
We are staying up I said we are staying up.
-
is this really happening?
-
Go on RHM.
-
HAHA! HUTTON
-
What a fucking hero!
-
He has finally earned his nickname, The scottish maicon!!
-
Hutton gets carded yet Hull can hack away...
-
Ooh RHM sighting
-
Huttonaldo!
-
is this really happening?
get off your phone Mr. Bruce
-
You know your defence is fucking shit when Hutton waltzes through it.
-
The Russian on for Kodj
-
Fucking GET IN! ;D
-
is this really happening?
I know scoring three times. In one game. It’s all quite bizarre.
-
What? Two youngsters playing?
Bruce going into meltdown.
-
Hull, you shit, shit, shit shit, shit bastards. I could have scored that.
-
What a let off that was.
-
What the fuck are we doing?!
-
Got away with one there. Elphick again.
-
Elphick is still a liability
-
Tommy displaying he can still be a liability!
Very lucky not too concede. Would of made the last 10 tricky.
-
Elphick is a calamity in waiting
-
What a let off that was.
Someone dropped one?
-
Steve Bruce at the game

Fucking wake up Villa.

Who said we are going to win this 4-1 half an hour ago?!?
-
Thor?
The three most unlikely villa subs when we are 3-1 up?
-
We cannot go through a season with Elphick at centre half.
No way. Three howlers tonight. Again.
-
Thor coming on
-
Taylor was woeful there, another let off.
-
Elphick is a nightmare.
-
shall i start the promotion maths thread again ?
-
We cannot go through a season with Elphick at centre half.
No way. Three howlers tonight. Again.
I expect Axel to partner Chester most of the season
-
I have a man crush on Hutton. And I don't even like tatts.
-
Hope that isn't a farewell substitution. Grealish off for Bjarni.
-
The Jack farewell.
-
Honestly...we can not do this campaign with Elphick as a starting player. He create pandemonium out of thin air.
-
They're ta-ra claps.
-
That's him off then.
-
He's definitely off. Just shook hands with every player in the dugout.
-
I was watching at 1 1 and it was turgid. Couldn't hold the ball and Hutton let off by a good save. Has green changed it?
-
He's definitely off. Just shook hands with every player in the dugout.
Most players do that when they are subbed.
-

Not every single one like that. I've never seen that in 40 years of watching football.

If that was Jacks final send off, I'm very disappointed.
-
He's definitely off. Just shook hands with every player in the dugout.
Nah, they've been doing that for years unless they're having a sulk.
-
They do loads of times, we just rarely see it shown on the camera. He may be off but that is no sign of it at all.
-
Are these the two worst commentators ever?
I believe the co commentator thinks that by pausing every 4/5 words makes him insightful.
It doesn’t.
-
He's definitely off. Just shook hands with every player in the dugout.

I’ll only have believed it had he given them each a snog. Wasn’t a firm two pump handshake either. I’m not convinced.
-
Fucking hell Conor poor.
-
Hourihane has to do better there
-
Fucking hell Conor poor.
Good from Rushian though.
-
Who needs Jack when you've got the Scottish Mbappe?
-
Hourihane should have done better there. Good work by RHM
-
Have to say (let's not think about Jack for a moment), fair play to Bruce. His virtues were always trumpeted as togetherness born of continuity, and I think that's been in evidence tonight.
-
Sloppy play.

Me neither unless he goes over to the fans at the final whistle.
-
We’re being overly untidy at the back.
-
BBC site's just said of Jack's substitution. 'He gets a great deception from the fans. Do they know something?'
-
Green and RHM have both done well.
-
Taylor is terrible.
-
Jack gets kicked all night and no cards.
Bjarnsson straight in the book....
-

Do you write Trumps addresses?
-
Taylor and Elphick in defence for 46 games is going to result in a lot of goals conceded as we won't be playing many sides as shit as Hull.
-
Have to say (let's not think about Jack for a moment), fair play to Bruce. His virtues were always trumpeted as togetherness born of continuity, and I think that's been in evidence tonight.
Despite the ending, last season also got a winning mentality back in the club. Also a rare win from falling behind in a game will help moving forward.
-
I'll still take a draw.
-
The referee has been shit again though. I can't remember the last decent one we had in this fucking awful division.
-
I'll still take a draw.
Hi Steve.

Was about to post something similar. In the grand scheme of things a win in game one of the season a few weeks ago seemed a pipe dream. Missing a good number of key players from last season we’ve done well tonight. Helps Hull are awful mind you.

I'll still take a draw.
So would Bruce.
-
BBC site's just said of Jack's substitution. 'He gets a great deception from the fans. Do they know something?'
Its quite obvious what the BBC and the rest of the effing LOndon media want.

Bjarnason seems a little headstrong.

Nice move. Should have scored

They've now changed it to reception.
-
Poor ball from Hourihane after good build up
-
End this. Wanna see Hutton replays :)
-
Taylor and Elphick in defence for 46 games is going to result in a lot of goals conceded as we won't be playing many sides as shit as Hull.
but they won’t be will they. Alex has arrived and a new left back is in the way
-
Enough from Rushian tonight for him to start ahead of Kodjia next game.

Do you write Trumps addresses?
You don't think they're playing for each other? They're not great, but they're a team.

That'll do spud, that'll do.

True, but anyone who was getting paid to write shit/report on this game would have padded
it out with some such bollocks.

No,not that.More the prosaic style.

Bjarnason seems a little headstrong.
I've heard he's extremely affable when he takes his wig off.
-
Get in. Always tricky opening day fixture. Well done Bruce.
-
Fuck the BBC.
-
I think they played for each other, and that helped make up for many of their other deficiencies.
