Aston Villa v Brentford Post-Match Thread

[chrisw1]

Pretty honest interview.  No way near good enough.  If he had rested the youngsters this place would have gone into meltdown.  He couldn't win that one.

A performance in the managers image, dull, ponderous and scared.

Id get rid tonight

[frank black]

I get that horrible feeling that our goalkeeper will end up being our player of the season.

[AlexAlexCropley]

The boos were for Bruce and his lack of adventurous tactics,not directed at these "19 and 20 year olds".Poor hiding by Bruce

[oswald funkletrumpet]

Well done to everybody who booed the team off at half time.....it helped enormously. I know we were crap, but booing at half time? From the same lot who sing shit support to the brentford fans.

If i want to boo i'll boo thanks

He can't blame it on the kids etc even though he's trying to, only the keeper came out of that game with any real credit. It's the shit 'tactics' and negative football that cost us any chance of a win. Again.

With respect his job is to pick the team to do the job and not pick a team to appease press and/or fans. If his experience told him that kids were tired after the internationals and still played them its his judgement that's compromised.So he fucked up in team selection.

For the love of god Bruce just go will yer... Shambolic to have so few shots on target at home.

[saunders_heroes]

Dreadful performance. Sick to death of waiting for this team to click. The formation just isn't working, Bruce. Change it to something more adventurous before you're sacked.

The players are paid a lot of money. They should not need someone kicking their arses and telling them how to play. They are (professionals?) and should be working together and understanding where eacch other is on the pitch.
Any way who would want to take on this job? suggestions please

Same here. Football's a passionate game and if you continue to serve up dross you're entitled to boo. It's part and parcel of the game.

I watched on a very poor AVTV signal.
First half it seemed we had possession but clueless approaching their penalty box.
2nd half. signal got worse and I kept seeing Johnstone making game saving, saves.
Fucking crap.
Get rid, put a Pumpkin with a painted face in the tactical area and he would have more clue than potato face.
The clock is ticking, put it forward and get rid.

'We've had a horrible one.  There wasn't much in the game and I thought the players tired towards the end.  That's understandable given the international games.  I haven't seen the penalty shout back but that changes the game if he gives it.  Brentford are a very decent side under Dean and he would have had them fired up.  I keep saying it but we are the big scalp in this division but we have to be up to the challenge.'

Is my post match interview prediction.

Brentford are such a decent side they have 3 from 6 games. And he'll probably still trot it out.

He F in said that 3 times 3 times "Brentford are a very good team."

I'm sceptical on the jaded kids point anyway. We haven't played for two weeks.

Well he fucked up either way.
