Aston Villa vs Burton Albion Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

It's pretty much every week now that I wonder what on earth do they practice? Why do we start so slow in games and why do we not have the confidence to dominate teams that like today, shouldn't be in the game given the comparative resources. Yet here we fucking are again.

[PaulWinch again]

I still maintain our problems are rooted in the midfield.

[olaftab]

Well I am getting used to this dross from Bruce every week now and today we are being served exactly what it says on the tin😥

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I still maintain our problems are rooted in the midfield.

And the lack of a plan. Pathetic, once again.

Get fat wanker off for moody wanker.

Were lucky to have such a varied selection of wankers to choose from

Bruce fumes and postures when we play shit, but the players show zero evidence anything has changed or been worked on when they turn up for the next game.

We have one Midfielder that can break up play and then..... What are the others capable of?

[Bad English]

Three things made me smile during that half. One. Mark Kelly 'speaking' to me on that Live Facebook feed. Two. Seeing my cousin Helen and her husband were watching it too. Three. The number of people on Facebook 'ordering' beer and pies from the people they could see leaving their seats in the video.

A veritable cornucopia

[devilla]

How far we have fallen.......

[PeterWithesShin]

Grealish on for Gardner

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We're shite, not Small Heath shite but still shite.

Even a more than decent 2nd half isn't going to convince me Bruce has a clue what he's doing.

[Dave Cooper please]

Well, here's Jack, it's what we all wanted so let's see if he can get us going.

I'll wait to see what he does across a couple of transfer windows before arriving at that conclusion. He's won promotion four times. It wasn't an accident. He needs to get some of his own players in because some of this lot are poor.

[themossman]

If it's a question of player attitudes (which I'm becoming sceptical about) then there's no better evidence than failure to perform against Burton, in a full VP, 5 days before a transfer window.
