Cardiff battered Villa Post Match Thread

[Des Little]

We can only dream of fluking a decent season.

[clash city rocker]

The worrying thing is that while we are talking about plumbing new depths we actually sink a little further. We seem to be aiming for the seabed and not the surface.

[QuintonVilla]

We struggle to fluke a decent result never mind a season.

How depressing seeing Huddersfield win 3-0 away from home in the Premier League while we get pumped by Neil Warnock's Cardiff. When did we last score 3 away from home?

[PeterWithesShin]

Sunderland under Sherwood. Before that I think it was the 3-2 win at Southampton in 2013.

As bloody incompetent as Tactics was, there were some fun times. Although you could say that about Lamberk too.

[QuintonVilla]

Shameful.

Bruce hasn't got a 90 minute performance out of his team for 10 months. Best performance was arguably Brighton away just a few weeks into the job. This is his team and squad and we still have no identity or style of play.

When we went 1-0 down we all knew we'd lost and that isn't right. You should still have hope and belief at only 1-0 down, my only thought was we'll lose this 2 or 3 nil. Not for a second did I think we'd get back into the game. When we go 1-0 up we're thinking 'we'll sit back and they'll score'. That is the only pattern to our games, concede first and lose or score first and then sit back and try and win 1-0. Predictable, boring and simply not good enough.

We aren't cursed. We are just poorly managed.

Has anyone said we're cursed, though?

Dorset villan above .

We are not cursed but we do have players who seem unable to cope with the expectations at Villa Park

[Steve67]

Surely to fuck Wyness and Xia can see we are not improving under Bruce?

[clash city rocker]

The whole of the championship can see we are not improving and that's why we are becoming easy pickings.

[LukeJames]

We have lost every away game under Bruce in which we have conceeded first, the total is 11 games, there hasn't been a single time in any of those games when we have even got the scores back level at any point.

Speaking of patterns, ours is as follows: start off lively, if limited, fail to convert chances/take a slender lead, tire, fade, let in goals. I would say this is us over the last five years or so!

Warnock took over Cardiff in the same week that Bruce came to us.  Bruce has spent more, but which one of the two has made more progress?

Today was awful.  We were bullied, out-thought, out- witted from start to finish.

No-one on here would have wanted Warnock but the proof''s in the pudding. He has improved them, Bruce hasn't done the same.

This is Warnock's level, he knows the league inside out. The same Warnock that turned around bloody Rotherham's fortunes when they were rooted at the bottom of the league and not a penny to spend a couple of years ago.

Have we even scored in any of those games? I'm not sure we have?

[pauliewalnuts]

What is really shocking is how out of shape and unfit we look. There's no excuse for that.

Feels like we've been saying that for years.
