Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[PeterWithesShin]

We started the season with what we felt was an embarrassment of riches up front that would destroy this league. We probably now have no fit strikers as the second lowest scorers in the division try and avoid relegation.

What a time to be a Villa fan!

'Wor luck has to change soon.'
'He's had a horrible one there'
'You can't give a team like Newcastle two goal starts.'
'We've had a horrible one'
'We were in the game and two basic errors have cost us.'

Reading stuff about him and Jedi being held back from each other?!!

[wince]

Get him gone now.

He's bemoaning the penalty, "I didnt think scotty was offside"..

He was mate. Dead man walking.

Where?

[john e]

it's right up there with the worst football I've ever seen since i started supporting Villa back in the 70's

it's right on par with Eric Blacks efforts and he was only caretaker, Mcliesh stuff was rubbish but no worse

it is without doubt the lowest I've ever felt about the club I support

[A Northern Soul]

He looked like he was about to burst into tears tonight. Hate to say it but he has one foot out of the door and we have to start again, again

[john e]

Well probably end up throwing 10 million at Pulis or some other fucking idiot like that

It's all looking utterly desperate. Frankly I'm shocked that a manager of his experience has taken us into this position. I knew wed be an ugly side under him but thought we'd be solid and hard to beat. Instead we're the softest villa team I've ever seen and struggling to see how he can get us out of this rut. Next 3 games will be painful I fear and the end of Bruce

[ciggiesnbeer]

I stopped listening at 1 nil. It is now completely predictable what happens after we concede and of course how we concede, a little while after one of our several badly taken corners, their decent one goes straight in, naturally.

Our managers dont change this kind of poor form around. We have seen it all before. Its just a matter of Xia deciding when he is worried enough about relegation to pull the trigger.

So Dr.X..... Had enough yet?

[Marton]

Bruce tends to do "something" that seems to be progress. But in the very same game he does "something else" that cancels out the previous progress.
Then he seems very confused about what was the positive and what was the negative and ends up drawing the wrong conclusion.
Next week he tries something entirely different...its like he can't learn from experience.

Like when he did the 4-1-4-1  using Jedinak as the defensive midfielder to stabilize a very shaky defensive...it worked. But then the 4 in front (using Westwood and Gardner in some constellation behind Kodjia) wasnt creative enough. So he breaks up the solid back 5 to fix the offensive 5. That doesn't work so he abandons the whole build and eventually we degrade to the same comical defense we had from the outset.

When he joined us he looked the healthiest i've seen him since his playing days. He looks ill and overweight again now.

Something is wrong at VP.
