Bristol City v Aston Villa post-match thread

[ozzjim]

Much better than Cardiff and Reading and could have nicked it..they have been playing well too so not a disaster.

Positives Davis did well again, Hourihane too. Bree was composed and Whelan improved as it went on. But Onomah is a bloody diamond. What a player he is going to be in 2 years time. He will play many, many times for England.

Negatives - Bruce changes. Hogan up with Davis maybe sacrificing Whelan last 10 and Adomah is an assist magnet, should have been on not Thor for me but for Elmo not Green.  Terry was fucking awful. Samba should start ahead of him. Elmo was rubbish.

Chester hates taking throws!

We could be 10 points behind the top 2 after tomorrow's games.

Didn't see the match, but am I to understand it was back to Shit Sandwich territory?

Yes mate.

Davis is the real deal.   

Impressed he started. Hopefully Bruce is seeing the light and trusting the kids more.

Hopefully he wont get a say next game as he'll be at the dole office.

These are not happy takes on the match.

[London Villan]

Has anyone asked Bruce why he changed a winning formation and line-up?

[Villa in Denmark]

Mostly rubbish, and another sub-standard performance.

You can just cut and paste that to 90% of our away games.

MoM was Onomah. Looks a good prospect

I noticed that in many passages of play, when we were knocking the ball sideways along the halfway line looking for a forward pass, the only one making any runs or movement in front of the ball was the premier league player.

He linked well with Davis. Could be a good partnership

Green was anonymous. Stays very wide and has no room to go on the outside and hence has to cut back onto his right foot

Davis and Hogan, from the start, Green sat behind and we would of won tonight, I'M CONVINCED OF THAT.

The useless cnut is going to ruin Davis with shit like that, Eric Morecambe reincarnated, tarrraahhhh, useless,tactically inept twat.

Ehh?

[FranzBiberkopf]

We are what we are: a mid table championship team.

It's just not going to happen under Bruce I'm afraid.

Some positives to take from the match tonight. Probably only Terry in the team knows that if you go a goal down it isn't game over...But please all this bollocks about Bruce being a promotion specialist is exactly that...bollocks.

Add Kodjia, Jedi, Snodgrass and later Jack and things will look a lot better. A point away is fine, something to build on....

1 point out of 9 away from home isn't fine though.

No.  But tonight was 1 point out of 3 at a team who don't lose often at home.  It's on the back of two wins and may be part of a recovery.  Of course that is yet to be seen.

Has anyone asked Bruce why he changed a winning formation and line-up?

From which game Norwich or Wigan?

[AlexAlexCropley]

Fear factor football.The team is dying to play offensively but is hamstrung by the absolute crass management and coaching set up.

[charleeco7]

I'm sorry I didn't think we were that bad. He got it wrong to start and changed it. We aren't going to win every game and for me we have shown improvement.

[ozzjim]

I reckon it's turning round. More confident about us than I have for a while. Some very good players to come back in yet.
