Bristol City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[wolfman999]

We are unable to take a game to the opposition when we are losing. We just can't.

Trouble is, we are unable to get take a game to the opposition when we're winning either.

[ez]

A point a game so far in our 7th consecutive relegation battle.

Except we weren't in the relegation battle last season.

[Jimsta]

Even with all these new leaders on the pitch we now have and still we are a pile of shit.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Bit disappointing.

Where are all these fucking captains I keep hearing about? Shower of shite

Today has massively ruined the weekend. Why can we not just push on? We have mostly a new side, where is this bottling mentality coming from? Us? A curse? David Cameron? It's baffling.
Gollini is not good enough to be our 1st keeper in this division. Teams have worked out that he will badly push shots away. We need 6 points from our next two, end of.

Do you still think we're going to smash this league?

Not based on that shite. I have serious reservations about the manager and the fact that on today's evidence absolutely nothing at all has changed.

Xia should demand his money back. £40 million to look as bad as we've ever looked.

The Titanic had a good Captain but still hit a fucking iceberg and sank.

[Chico Hamilton III]

By the way we haven't won in 21 away matches now.

380 odd days since the last league away win, according to Kendrick. Fucking rubbish.

[themossman]

All this taking time working on the number 9 stuff. I get it, but it might have cost this new team its fragile confidence and left us adrift in mid table.

[andyh]

Where are all of these fucking 'leaders' we have supposed to have signed?

Every single game this season, every single one, we have been completely dominated in the second half with absolutely no indication that we can ride it out and go on to win the game.

Even Rotherham gave as good as they got at Villa Park in the second half.

[itbrvilla]

****** the lot of them.

We'd have missed the Iceberg and crashed into America instead.

God there's been a whiff of panic on here since the season started, now its full blown hysteria. We were a completely shite championship side last season, so building a decent championship side is going to take time and its not going to be pretty or quick. We should know better where we stand by November, but till then for your own sakes, I'd clam down a bit

I think something psychological happens to players when they play for Villa. The big ground, big crowds, top training facilities, big money. The history and pedigree. They think the club has an automatic right to win games. It doesn't.

It has to dig deep to get results, and it isn't digging deep enough yet. Quite when the penny will drop, that we need to fight twice as hard as any team in the league to succeed, I don't know. But it must, soon, or we'll only get out of this division via the trap door.

I reckon you could well be on the money there with your opening gambit, Jimbo. What I think this situation requires is a manager that absolutely DEMANDS players to be mentally tough & to give every iota of energy for the cause. Admittedly we've still got some terminally damaged rubbish to ship out of the club, but I've got my serious doubts about whether RDM has what it takes to properly turn this shit round. The clock is certainly ticking.
