Aston Villa v Brentford Post-Match Thread

[Richard]

Was disappointed in Davis yesterday he was off the pace and clearly carrying a knock. I'd like to see 2 up front going forward - Kodjia and Hogan - Green and Snodgrass/Adomah wide and Jedinak/Josh with Hourihane in the middle. Got to get at teams a lot quicker.

Whelan Elmo Gabby no thanks.

just watching Traore at Boro , looks frightening . Shame we have not got him instead of  Elmo but to be fair he would be playing crap under Bruce like all the other good players we seem to buy . 

I am  expecting Hutton back Tuesday to mark him .

FFS it's DAVIS, not Davies (not at you, Richard, but half if not most of the posters who have mentioned him.) It's worse than the Kieran Clarke saga. I bet Bruce spells him wrong too, the useless oaf.

[Villa75]

I think the final nail in the coffin for Bruce is that fans have already written off some of his most recent signings, such as Elmo and Whelan. His final throw of the dice has simply not worked.

[Richard]

Rather than worrying about the opposition (Traore) can we not focus on how we attack better and pressurise the opposition for the whole 90 minutes.

[eamonn]

How many of our lot were on international duty? Bruce saying he wasn't using that as an excuse but then playing them anyway despite us having the squad size to deal with it. Presumably he didn't work on anything new with the non-international players at Bodymoor last week and they just kept their fitness ticking over.

[Toronto Villa]

It's a bollocks excuse. It's like we play in a vacuum and no other club is affected by any of the issues that we are subjected too. We have the biggest squad in the division, have spent the most money, have the most experience to overcome anything this division should throw at us. What we clearly don't have is a competent manager. Someone who came to us with the right CV yet the job is much bigger than he can handle. The weight of expectation has crushed his ability to make rational, sensible or astute decisions. He's broken. He has to go.

You are on the right line but it's not the fans who have written off these players it's the players themseleves with their abject showing.

[Legion]

I would like to see Aston Villa to lost 7-0 asap so it will wake up the owner to make them sack Bruce.

Seriously? You want us to lose? Heavily? I don't.

Fixed.

I can't think of a worst reason to sack the manager.

Oh, I agree.

It's like he just throws darts at a list of players, in the hope they will work out if he buys them, with little or no plan.

You seriously want to see us stuffed 7-0.
