Yes. But can I just ask why anyone thinks that will make it better. We've changed everything, including the fucking owner and we're apparently as bad as ever. That makes no sense, or am I missing something?

This. Completely. I just don't know what to think any more. The scary thing for me is that Bruce, whatever you think of him (and I totally get why some people were not enamoured with him) was the logical choice for where we were. Decent track record, if a little dour and pragmatic. He seemed a safe pair of hands, as low risk an option as we had. And even he's falling apart. So where on earth do we go from here?

We've had over 40 shots in the last 2 games and scored once? Are we shooting from our own half every time or has everyone turned into Jordan Bowery?

It's not so much if we have hit rock bottom but more if teams below us start winning  and cheerfully wave to us as they overtake us in the league.

I thought we played well first half. Second was a bit more huff and puff, but it sums it up that they have 3 shots and score them all.

Never a penalty in a million years and it gave them an avenue into the game they didn't deserve.

Second half things were a bit more stretched but we got the ball into their box on countless occasions and didn't punish them.

Final ball lacked quality when we were in good positions. Third goal we had three opportunities to clear and panicked.

We're in a real rut and need something in our favour like that dubious penalty.

Missing Jedinak perhaps.  9 goals in four games without him shielding the back four.

No, rock bottom will be a complete shoeing by someone 5-0 ish including comedy errors and the team looking like it can't be arsed, like the Liverpool beat down last season. Possibly Monday against Newcastle.

So after nearly 5 months at the club he's managed a couple of decent 45 minutes of football and apart from that, tripe. Bruce is on borrowed time, 2/3 more defeats and he will be gone.

Aston Villa, having spent the best part of £60m Gross, in the Championship, quite simply cannot tolerate losing 8/9 out of 10 games. We cannot give up and accept that kind of shit as acceptable under any circumstances.

We are a boring, inept team heading nowhere fast, we play utterly dire football mixed with a load of below average players made out to be actual footballers, when in fact most of them are clueless morons that have no fucking idea how to play football.

Make no mistake.. we will be in League One next season and rightly so.
