Norwich v Villa Post-Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

I knew we'd lose when I saw the midfield.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Pathetic. Embarrassing. Fuck off Villa

How many times have we been live on Sky this season? And how many have we won? None.

Why the fuck are Gabby and Westwood STILL getting a game for fucks sake?!

What do people still see in Ayew, the lazy, uninterested fucker?!

And what the fuck had Tshibola done to not even get on the bench in that squad?

[Colhint]

I just wish we had people who could run

[JUAN PABLO]

Can i ask

how the fuck is that useless fat waster even in the squad

how does Westwood start in the first 11 - its a complete waste

why does Kodji play on the wing

why cant Tish make the squad

Is Bacuna that bad - any worse than hutton or westwood?

this team will not make the play offs unless sB signs three big players in Jan

[LukeJames]

No fight and no urgency, the two things you expect from a Bruce team at the very least.

Yeah it was a penalty at the end, i'm suprised the ref didn't give it as he couldn't wait to give Norwich cheap free kicks for the last 20 minutes but make no mistake, we were fucking rancid.

[Clampy]

Probably the worst we've played since Preston. We didn't look like scoring at all and Gabby was just a waste of time.

[The Edge]

Two very poor defenders. Hutton and Elphick. No tempo. No width no creativity no shots on target. Just listening to Bruce who has been talking refreshingly honest.

[PeterWithesShin]

It annoys me that Bruce seems more concerned with safety first in away games rather than trying to win them.

[PaulWinch again]

We so badly need energy and dynamism in the midfield.

[rougegorge]

At least Bruce agrees on Sky that it was 'pathetic' .

But why play that line up in the first place?  We've been poor the last 3 games and lack so much tempo and drive.

[Matt Collins]

It's got to be back to 433 proper at QPR. And let Jedinak rest because he was back to his exhausted earlier season form today

Really don't know what to do with our forward line. Kodjia has been off form but the other centre forward options are worse

RHM has to get ahead of gabby soon surely or we'll lose him

[Richard E]

It annoys me that Bruce seems more concerned with safety first in away games rather than trying to win them.

Especially against such bang average opposition.

[Loxton01]

You lose games .... and sometimes its just the way it goes......but tonight was a complete disgrace. We might not of even bothered showing up.... saved the fans the money and just given them the three points totally tepid, toothless and gutless.

How can you win the game without even bothering taking a shot. We have no direction going forward, no pattern of play moving forward, poor passes, poor touches it was just dreadful.

Jedinak grafted and to be fair so did westwood, amavi was well involved despite making a few errors the rest of them utter garbage.

I am sick of seeing Kodija, Ayew and Grealish bring the ball down slow the play so thus allowing them to get back and then trying to run through 3 men. Lift your head and pass the ball, play as a bloody team and stop trying to be the big man - JOKE.

How come the art of the cross has died?? We cant beat the first man its terrible. We had more threat just hoofing the ball in the last minute than the previous 89 minutes. Gestede is one of the best headers of the ball in the league and yet how many crosses do we feed to him. Why have him at the club if were not going to cross the ball. Where was Kodija how are we getting anything out of him.

I don't want to see Ayew in a Villa team again the greediest player I have ever seen - I want him gone. To get promoted you need characters and team spirit and in the final third we are severely lacking in players who care, have a brain and are prepared to die for the cause.

To sum it up we won a corner at the end and spent 15 seconds dilly dallying leading to the full time whistle. Total joke.

Least Bruce has said it like it is. He is seething. Think he is working out a lot of these players are big time charlies with no spunk!!

[russon]

That was truly grotesque. Villa find new depths every now and then, tonight felt like another.

[Goldie.7]

Gollini 5
Hutton 3
Chester 5
Elphick 3
Amavi 5
Jedinak 3
Westwood 3
Grealish 3
Ayew 2
Kodjia 2
Gabby 1 (That's for managing to touch the ball)

Kind of glad Ayew will soon be off, the guy doesn't do a lot does he?
