Anyone in favour of sacking him and placing Terry at the helm for play offs?

Not me but then again I can’t wait for the number 26 to bugger off.

We'll probably limp over the line now to be honest. But I'm calling this now, we'll lose the first leg of the play offs 2-0. Get an early goal back at Villa Park before being frustrated for the rest of the first half, second half they'll equalise from a shite scrappy corner, He'll immediately sacrifice the midfield and throw 4 up front while wacking it repeatedly to the fuckers in desperation for 35 minutes, we won't look remotely like scoring.
Bloody hell. The worst thing about this scenario is that yes, you can just see it happening.

He's rarely put a foot wrong since coming to us, his passion has been one of the few things that has brought some joy back into watching Villa this season, and you want him gone.

I don't want him as Villa manager but your attitude truly baffles me.

No wonder I cried my eyes out watching that ITV4 programme on Vila tonight showing my son and telling him I was there in Rotterdam as a 16 year old  after watching that shite tonight at Hull.

The 2-0 first leg sounds about right based on our experiences this season. I’m investing all my hope on us being boringly negative and Kodja getting vital goals all on his own. 5-4-1 formation should do it.

My biggest worry with Bruce is that he appears to genuinely believe that chucking more and more strikers on is the way to chase a game, neglecting to notice they don't have anyone to supply them with chances. You'd think after seeing it fail repeatedly he'd realise it doesn't work.

How many more poor performances before someone takes a decision to get the team together for some of the most critical games in our recent History?

I'm hoping that if we're losing late on that our favoured 4-1-5 will work.

He still doesn't seem to have fully grasped that lumping it high towards Hogan doesn't work.

At this rate, we'll be lucky to make the play-offs. How things have changed since that result against the Dingles.

We looked like we'd never lose again and now look like we'll never win again.
