Wolves v Aston Villa post match thread.

[JUAN PABLO]

Hutton was one of the better players. Yes he may lack ability but at least he tries hard.

I might has well get my boots then Eric. Yes he tries but hes hopeless.

[Axl Rose]

It's 4:30am here and once again I do wonder why I bother staying up/waking up for such absymal rubbish.

I tried to go to sleep, but my love for the club runs deeper than bodily functions. I just couldnt resist watching the rest of the match because there's always that tiny bit of hope that something good might happen. Yet it rarely, if ever does.

Pathetic from Bruce and the players. Hated seeing a Lambert team play better than us, look like a team with shape, and a team that knows the basics of the game. Wolves were far better than us.

Someone touched on it during the match thread, and I have to agree. I almost clapped their awareness-why does Hutton get so much of the ball? It's been happening for years now. I fucking hate him as a footballer. Besides his goal against Leicester a few years ago, he has never done anything remotely of note. I'm a massive enemy of his game.

Some of these players need shooting. Elphick never looks comfortable. Never. Slow to the point of almost still. Atrocious business by the club.

Bacuna-an utter twat and never should have played for us again after last season's grinning bullshit. Awful. His passing today was superbly bad.

Amavi-my first time to criticise him, but deary me. A shocking performance. Like Bacuna, his passing shocked me. It was that bad.

Onto Agbonlahor. No. Westwood's name on a team sheet prior to today often led to me simply not bothering to watch the game. It's going to become like that with Shisha c***. If Bruce continues to persevere with him, he deserves all the abuse that his stone age brand of football deserves.

Basically, we aren't only playing poorly, we aren't creating, we have no creativity, our passing isn't crisp, direct or fluid. I hate the way Bruce has us playing. It isn't productive or exciting. It isn't suitable away from home, and it isn't getting the results that we need.

All in all, it's going to be massively difficult to make the playoffs. It still has to be the aim, but pretty much all the teams above us, play better football than us. Where has the exciting football gone in the last 6 years? Or at least more regularly than once every few months.

Can't stand Bruce's football, I refuse to support such a mentality he is installing.

A very very very disgruntled fan.

Last thing-It was an emotional game for us fans today. The players should have gone out there and done Sir Graham proud. But they didn't. Massive massive pricks. They should be ashamed.

That's the end of the season for me. Shocking to put in a performance like that in front of 4k away fans on a Saturday night and after SGT passed away.

Results seem to have caught up with our performances. Just what is the point in starting agbonlahor? Bleak midwinter again... 3 games in 2017 all lost and no goals

[andyh]

Utterly sick of seeing the ball "worked" to Hutton,whereupon he steps inside and promptly sets up the counter attack for the opposition."..............

This.
I have been saying the same for months. He is at total liability.

Yeah.  There is no way to reach the playoffs now with the exception of divine intervention.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

I like bruce but he is talking the talk and walking backwards

why do we look unfit?
why do we look unbalanced?
why play flabby?
what is our style of play?
what do you do at bodymoor heath?
Why so late making changes?

20 points off top spot is a fucking disgrace and everyone at the club needs to hang their heads in shame

That includes dr tony for appointing rdm, turning down 25 million for amavi, saying 3 in this window would be okay and sanctioning the purchase of a fat 30 year old that we will get fuck all back on and saying that in 5 years we will be in the champions league

[CT]

Do we employ "fitness experts" at the Club?

I was told by an employee back in 2015 that all players were on a strict 8% body fat.

Why do so many players become, unfit, slow, overweight or just all three?

[claret and blue blood]

Shed some tears over Sir Graham this morning reading some of the examples of his great qualities as a man and a football man.
Watching the clips from when he was our manager , then watching the woeful excuse for a team we just saw against Wolves and my sadness has deepened to a very low level as we are also looking at the demise of our great club.
Feeling very low at the moment.

Then why is the tactic to work the ball towards Hutton?  comes from above

[Jimbo]

Some of us think there's no such thing as the Villa disease, but I'm not so sure about that. Time and time again, we look like eleven introverts who have only just met each other for the first time. Our play is like a series of fumbled introductions and clumsy small talk. We're nervous, frightened and awkward the moment we leave the cosy confines of Bodymoor Heath. Oh well, they can all get under the blanket and revert to the foetal position for another week.

[TonyD]

We are like a very shit Arsenal.  Pass pass pass trying to run the ball into the net.  Why didn't Hutton shoot in the last minute.    ??     

[Taylor]

When is Kodjia back?

[Loxton01]

I still believe in Bruce. We bought terribly this summer. We bought individuals who aren't gelling and many are total drama queens. We must stick with Bruce.

We desperately need a new midfield. I reckon Bruce is demanding more but isn't getting it. Grealish/adomah/ bacuna what's between the ears. McCormack always moaning. As a team on the pitch they are clueless they lack heart and desire.

For me we have to move the ball much much quicker with a tempo.

The defence have to step up too push the team forward

We need improvements all over the pitch!

We need another season in this league we are miles away from the playoffs

[Nunkin1965]

I've learned to not get too upset anymore. But we're miles off and today was the low point. Beaten by a Lambert side.

[manic-road]

How much is it going to cost to buy desire in the January window ?

Why would anyone waste any money now?  We shouldn't buy anyone at the moment.

Yes we bloody well should because if we don't get a decent midfield we will be will only go one way in the table and it isn't up.
