Every one of us could see their goal coming a mile off today yet he did nothing to try and prevent it. Then after it he wasn't proactive either and left it too long. Then the final straw sticking Samba up front and hoofing it up. Desperate.]

Yes, he has had promotions from this league, however I cant see it working with us .....the expectations from the fans here are greater and I don't think he will hack the pressure

Steve Bruce is fucking useless.

Sorry to pick on you. But this is such a brainless statement about a manager who's led four promotion campaigns out of this division. You see it a lot. It really pisses me off as you may be able  to tell

He IS fucking useless. Any team with Bacuna starting doesn't stand a chance of promotion.  Hogan is rubbish as well. I'd be surprised if he gets anywhere close to double figures this season. £15m down the toilet.
Yep too kin right, how many times does he need to se Bacuna to work that one out, and yes Hogan the new Balaban.

It pisses you off because you've put your cards on the table and backed him unconditionally. We should have been out of sight at half time today, thats not Bruces fault, failing to change it when Hull were getting on top is all on Bruce though. 2 points dropped today.

I haven't backed him unconditionally

I have some doubts

But I think stability is important

And we should have been two or three up. And that would have been credit to Bruce

See that's the thing, it might sound arrogant but you can grind your way to 1-0 wins at Hull but playing that way here is very risky as we saw today. You try and play out a 1-0 and then end up drawing and you have a very expectant fan base of a historically big club on your back. I think we'd all agree we'd take narrow victories just to get out of this crap league but come on, with the players we've got we shouldn't be trying to see out 1-0 wins. He even did it at Burton away last season, fecking Burton. I just don't think he's the right fit for us as a club and a fanbase.

Before we scored, we looked really good. Going out and wanting to win. Passing and moving really well. It just stopped from scoring. Is that manager or players?

What tends to happen in games is that the team losing at half time will come out and have a bit of pressure. It usually lasts about 10 minutes. The leading team weathers the storm and then the game settles back into how it was going before. With us though it just carries on until we concede.

We weren't though, and then he let them back in, he did  not know how to get back on top, then the desperate stuff at the end.
I would be interested to see what you think Bruce is going to do to stop this happening.

Fulham drew at home to Norwich today. I bet their fans think that was a killer but we're well set

We seem to want to sack our manager and start again

I have supported Villa since the 80s but Villa fans right now just piss me off. Bunch of whinging fuckers who drain the club of anything positive, We even moan when things are going well (albeit a while ago).

Fulham ended the season in fine form, playing great football and scoring lots of goals.

Villa ended the season looking as they had the majority of it, shit.

The worry for me is what happens when we go 1-0 down in a game? We went 1-0 up today and didn't know how to play or how to control the game. When we go 1-0 down we're even worse and I think this season will be the same as last. He doesn't react to how the game is going.
