How long is the owner going to put up with this crap level of football?

We might be in a play off position, but the type of football Bruce is getting the team to play will have us relegated straight back down next season

How many more warnings do you need Bruce, the next will be a goal.

Bruce really is a coward away from home. We have all the weapons to win games like this and yet he plays for the draw or tries to nick it on the break instead of having the balls to be aggressive. At home he’ll play for the win and away shows little ambition. It’s the Bruce way as we grind our way through the season.

This is like watching two teams in the relegation zone with one already relegated.

Wake up, Villa ffs.

Is there nobody in the side who can just bring the ball down and pass it?

When those clappers get thrown at players lying injured on the pitch, I do wish the TV cameras focussed on the throwers rather than be diverted away.

Diabolical start to the second half. We're like zombies out there.

This is where Bruce is at his weakest

His mentality will be to see out the pressure

A top manager would be more proactive. It's not working

When was the last time the opposition were on top and Bruce made a change that positively affected the game?
