Cardiff City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Bad English]

Watching that Periscope feed was awful. Those poor buggers who travelled to Cardiff...

[pauliewalnuts]

I wonder how many more times we will have to see the Gardner / Westwood pairing?

[curiousorange]

All that money spent to play like that. Again. I'm not only pissed off that we lost, but that we lost looking like we can't really cope with this league. What exactly was the point of August-December?

[Joe S]

On the plus side, if we did make playoffs it would mean we're on a monumental run of form and should therefore breeze through them.

Unfortunately we won't!

[QuintonVilla]

The second half at Brighton remains our only good performance under Bruce. We have been crap/average/lucky in every other game.

When you play Westwood and Gardner, and bring Agbonlahor on then you're destined for mid table.

[villadelph]

Bruce made some very poor decisions today. That was a serious regression if I had ever seen one.

Starting both Westwood and Gardner is UNACCEPTABLE at this point. Any manager that thinks they can do a job is deluded. It's unbelievable that Westwood is still a factor. His inclusion improves nothing.

I am so irritated.

[Brian Taylor]

Need some new backbone.. and soon

[Villafirst]

I think Dr Xia will spend big now in this window - we simply have to bolster all areas of the squad, particularly in midfield. Shows how much we rely on Kodjia.

[Jon Crofts]

Having watched some of the Arsenal game yesterday it scared me shitless to think that we'd be playing Arsenal next season IF we got promoted, they play a different sport altogether, we'd come straight down again before Christmas guaranteed with some of these clowns masquerading as professional footballers.

[dave shelley]

A Gardner Westwood pairing ever again should be cause for instant dismissal for Bruce.  And I like the bloke.  You can add Agbonlahor to that as well if he ever treads on a blade of grass wearing a Villa shirt.

[brian green]

I am afraid chaps that we have got ourselves another stubborn manager.

[Jimbo]

No shape. No shape. No shape. How many times does it have to be said? The team has no shape, and that's due largely to our lack of a midfield. We could carry a Hutton, Amavi or a Bunn if we had a midfieled that does its job: a stopper, an enforcer, a box-to-box type and a creator. Every time we flounder in the middle, we put pressure on the defence and leave strikers isolated. Promotion won't happen until we get rid of shit like Westwood, get some competent midfielders in and get some shape.

[mr underhill]

I've simply lost count of the times we've collectively said never again should the usual suspects pull on the shirt yet in true groundhog day fashion they do. please Dr X once and for all get the funds in place to give us a competitive midfield

[brian green]

In his very quiet, very reasonable voice Bruce will say I pick the team, then proceed to pick Gardner and Westwood and bring Gabby off the bench. 

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I am afraid chaps that we have got ourselves another stubborn manager.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" comes to mind after every game.
