Aston Villa v Wolves Post-Match Thread

[eamonn]

One of the worst second halves I've ever seen us play. No gumption, disorganised, pretty clueless all round. Wolves should have won by three or four.

[Toronto Villa]

We need 3 solid midfielders in January, a RB and another CB. Oh and send Cissokho to a butcher to be made into dog food, bring back Amavi and get another LB too.

[manic-road]

Awful, we were lucky to get a point to keep us out of the relegation zone as we were battered in the second half.

[pauliewalnuts]

Genuinely struggling to describe how poor that second half was.

It wasn't just shit, it was comedically bad, struggling to string two passes together, cut apart at will by Wolves, very, very lucky to take a point from that.

[LeeB]

A great point, given that we were fucking outclassed front to back by the the fucking dogheads, at home.

[KRS]

Absolutely fuckin shite. Pathetic.

I hope Dr X has got deep pockets because this squad is full of shit players, and he needs to spend another £50m to get us anywhere near to being promotion candidates. The only other option is that Bruce is actually some kind of miracle worker, but there is far too much shit for a miracle of biblical-esque proportions...you can't polish a turd.

[frank black]

Shite

[JUAN PABLO]

awful

lucky to get a point

was convinced we would win in the second half , did not expect Wolves to batter us

at least Bruce was shouting and trying to sort it but he is soon realising a lot are crap at the moment.

[ez]

Back to drawing ways.

Fitness still seems to be an unsurmountable problem.  For years our players have never seemed as fit as the opposition.  You don't have to coach fitness, you just sweat the buggers.

[sickbeggar]

Wel it's safe to say i really didn't have much expectations for Bruce but i think i set them miles too high on that performance. I knew things were bad when he tried to shut up shop for a win after 15 minutes, forgetting our defence is only a defence when the ball is nowhere near them. But even i was unpreparesd for the 2nd half when only the ref and individual heroics stopped it from being a rugby score. At least after the worse performance i've seen since Black and Garde, you can say Mr Potota head can only get better, but i was never worried about being relegated under RDM. I am now.

[Stu]

We're no team. Clearly no organisation ever took place under di matteo. I only hope that this absolutely shite performance is due to dreadful manager hangover.

[Proposition Joe]

Shit on a stick.

And more evidence for those of us that think no manager in the world is able to halt the slide of this club.  What's wrong goes beyond what managers and coaches are normally able to do.

At least Bet365 let me cash out for more than if my bet had won.

[Tuscans]

Another summer of business where the wrong cogs were bought to make the machine work. The first signings of January need to be 2 centre mids who have legs, can press and control a game with forward passing. We're getting bullied, outnumbered and outplayed in the most critical department and that won't change.

Wolves spanked us for most of that match and Reading Tuesday is going to be just as difficult.

[Lobsterboy]

Not good but probably a point gained based on that second half performance (or non-performance)

Would like to have seen what Bruce could do to change things round but with Jedinak blowing out of his arse after 55 minutes and then Richards and Elphick injured he didn't get the opportunity.

We should have lost and not conceding late on might, just might help our brittle confidence

Bruce clearly has a massive job on his hands here...
