Aston 'where will it all end' Villa v Middlesvilla Post Match Thread.

[SoccerHQ]

Championship for years then..

Yes, Bruce should have gone preseason, there was nothing last season to suggest we would mount a challenge under him this season. Inconsistent, terrible scoring record, couldn't get on top of so called lesser teams.

We spent the pre season suring up the Defence and Centre Mid, when our biggest problem was the lack of pace in the team and ability to break down the opposition. Terrible management.

This season can still be salvaged.

I don't see teams running away with it like Brighton and Newcastle did last year, Cardiff lost 3-0 tonight and can't see them being top 2.

Needs to be done quick though as we have a tough run of games in October for the level we've shown so far this season.

Just heard Bruce on WM. He said we played against ten men for 40 minutes. It was 60, you bull shitter.

He also said the fans reaction was hysterical. What a wanker.

If he said that then he really is a c***.

He is struggling with his times at the moment, minutes and months

We are a step closer to Bruce leaving and hopefully putting end to this former Birmingham and West Brom recruitment spell we have been going through.

It's not going to happen here for Hogan btw. The block of the shot on the line was unfortunate.

What hacked me off more is constantly being told he needs crosses and he will score. Second half we finally get a decent cross into the box that cuts out the defenders, he's unmarked six yards out and completely misses his kick.

He's just a luckless forward and not a very good one everytime I watch him live.

He doesn't thrive on crosses, it's through balls that he needs and which he will never get with us for a good while yet.

20 attempts on target tonight, 7 clear cut ones. Should have had 3 or 4 against Brentford on Saturday. Only been here 6 months, no wait 9 months, make that 10. Bruce has lost it. The pressure has got to him.

Oh, And we are all hysterical, apparently!

I just arrived in Dronten (back end of nowhere in the Netherlands) after two cancelled flights, a delayed third flight, and problems on the train line only to find the event I am attending tomorrow is cancelled due to a storm and that there is no place to get a beer where I am staying.

Looks like I had a far better time today than the poor sods that went down the Villa.

Time for Bruce to go.

I thought it was much better tonight, 2nd half in  particular, with any element  of luck we would have won that game.  Enjoyable night for a change down there. Roll on Saturday.

If there's a more frustrating team to watch in the country, I'd like (well probably not) to see them. Argh!!!!!!!

Sunderland, they're shit too. Really shit. A lot like us over the past 7 years. Our mutant twin brother club.

RDM was sacked for far far less than Bruce has under-achieved.  Under RDM the football was much more entertaining and attacking  and  we were way more unlucky with missed chances and late concessions than Bruce has ever been.  If it was no excuse for RDM it should certainly be no excuse for Terry Fuckwit.  I just don't see any justification for Bruce still being here.  His bullshit excuses are getting ever more desperate and grating as well, surely the sign of a man who knows he's on dodgy ground and is feeling the pressure.

Where they have been before is irrelevant. As Peter Withe and BFR can be used to testify. Oh and Ugo.

I'd have no problem recruiting Hodgson or Hughton in our current predicament - although they would.

They haven't won a home game in 2017 bless 'em. We're going to have a serious shit off between us this season.

Just seen the Hogan block , oh my days that would  have been sublime if he was meant to be defending

[PeterWithe]

Well it wasn't as bad as Saturday.

 First half the usual pedestrian rubbish, second half far better with a bit of pace and width. On another night we could have scored a hatful. The big let down was the delivery from wide, utterly abysmal all night

However, for a team assembled at this kind of expense to be playing better with a seemingly random formation and with a man down doesn't give you much confidence in the manager.

And that was never more than a yellow for Lansbury as long as I have a hole in my arse.

MOM Adomah.
