Brentford v Villa Match Thread

[CT]

Should have been 4. Think we're leaving it a bit late to get anything out of this game

Yep, I'm beginning to think we're gonna lose this too.

What's going on with all the bad passes, poor control...

That's us.

Just spat my drink everywhere

Said to my son at lunchtime if Bruce doesnt finish the season strongly, He will be gone in the summer. Bruce was employed as the promotion expert. We have looked anything but since his arrival

I like bruce but he has had zero impact

do we have a style of play? Are we fit? Are we cohesive? Are we harder to beat? Are we motivated? Have we got any fight?

Looking forward to playing buzz word bingo during his post match interview

I agree with you. I was mixed when he arrived,  but he's confirming the worst. He's another Mccarthy,  Warnock and Curbs... a charlatan.

Bloody hell, he's had 1 game with his new team, some of whine signed in the last few days and you're writing him off already?

This is by no means a defence of tonight's performance btw.

Leeds away
norwich away
Cardiff away
wolves away

if only there was some sort of pattern

What we've played all of them since Bruce signed his new players?

As I've been saying for a few weeks, other than the new manager bounce what has Bruce done to deserve next season?

My worry was that he seemed to have decided not to bother training players to a style and instead to just sign players and then worry about it.  The problem is that leaves you with 3 new midfielders fitting into a squad who don't know how they're expected to play and everyone looks lost.  Bruce NEEDS to show that he can form us into a team in the next few games or we're going to be back to looking at the wrong end of the table.  Pathetic performance tonight and the excuses for Bruce are starting to wear very thin.

Will it cheer you up a bit if I tell you that Small Heath are losing?

With respect, no it fucking won't.

It would take Brexit being cancelled and Trump being shot to cheer me up. I'm 60 this year and despite all the ups and downs in life I've always been an optimist by nature, but frankly I'm coming to the conclusion that everything is becoming complete and utter shit around us. Fuck fuck fuckety fuck to the whole fucking world !

On the plus side only another 3 minutes to go.

[Risso]

What's the betting £12m on Hogan turns out to be money down the toilet?

[The Edge]

We have the most talented player in the division and Bruce is trying his best to destroy him.
How some of these players get picked above him is a real mystery to me.
Yet another shit performance from a manager who seems to specialise in disjointed performances.  I don't want to keep changing managers because I know that is not the way to go and I really like Bruce, but I have to say, his Teams stink.

If your talking about Grealish he wouldn't get in this Brentford team we're getting mullered by. Fuck off Hutton you useless twat. And the rest of the defence look as fucking clueless as anything we've seen in the last 4 years.

[itbrvilla]

Would be nice to of had an attempt on target but it seems a theme with Mr Bruce.

[Risso]

Fuck off Hutton

[PeterWithe]

Hourihan hasn't carried away he ball at all, not only once. I hope this is an off night.

This is one of the worst debuts I've ever seen. He's been useless!

To be honest I think the Icelander was much worse. George Weah's cousin bad.

What's the betting £12m on Hogan turns out to be money down the toilet?

He's probably down Nandos right now, speed-eating.

[itbrvilla]

Are the villa fans singing "fuck off you shit"?

They collectively gave up and folded in the 20th minute, the fkn rotten lot of em
