Bristol City v Aston Villa post-match thread

[KevinGage]

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

Wasn't the Subway footlong turd spectacular as per Cardiff, Reading or most of our away offerings under Bruce.

But not one to tell the Grandkids about in 40-odd years either.  'I was there when Terry made a fool of himself.'  So what?

Clown commentator on sky all night, "Villa haven't spent much this season", "Steve Bruce will surely turn it around at Aston Villa if given time "etc etc. Our wage bill must dwarf Bristol ten times over ffs. Such an easy ride Bruce is getting.

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

Ehh?

Keinan was asked to do far too much for a 19 y-o on his own, he played all the right players , almost, but in the wrong order, goodbye, you tactically inept twat. How's that?

Am I alone in thinking that was much, much better away from home?  This is a game that epitomised last season we lost it in ignominious fashion with very little fight.  This season okay we haven't won but we were a lot more composed and played much better football.  I honestly don't think we are that far away from really clicking this season.

Bruce isnt going anywhere

I thought once we started playing the correct formation there were far more positives than negatives. We looked like we were actually trying to win the game away from home for a change and we coped fairly comfortably with most of what they chucked at us. If we'd brought Hogan and Thor on 5-10 minutes earlier I think we might have nicked it.

[lovejoy]

So who can we beat away?

[London Villan]

Kodija for green and we'll have a top 2 team.

[DB]

Terry...hmmm

100% correct, If we had the right manager.

Bruce in pure politico/ marketing Svengali mode.  Say it often enough and it becomes true.

See also David O'Leary's high tempo attacking football. 

Emily Bishop's son who (somehow) writes for the nationals came out with that gem once.  Which showed just how often he'd watched us.

[KRS]

Stick to the same team and formation as last weekend, and we win that game...he didn't and we didn't.

Kodija for green and we'll have a top 2 team.

But who is going to create the chances for him. We created nada for the 3 away games

In fairness the bar is pretty low when it comes to us away from home. We played ok but I can't really remember their keeper making a notable save whereas we needed a dodgy pen decision and a fingertips save to take a point. Hopefully we do click but hard to see if your manager is going to fanny around with daft decisions like tonight's starting line-up.

You're not alone.
Jury is still out for me but on the back of two wins that was ok for me given our prior away record (and their home record)
