Derby 2-0 Useless Aston Villa post match thread

[Rudy65]

Spend the money and go get Koeman or Frank De Boer. Neither became bad Managers overnight. Even if end up not going up I’ll be happier with either heading into next season.

Why De Boer? It worked well at Palace. Not sure about Koeman either given Everton's receovery since he left. That said neither would come anyway. Agree that Bruce isnt the answer

2 shots on target, no forward of any I mean any description until 65 minutes and even a question mark then, he plays a midfielder who has not been a goal threat since joining us on loan as our out ball, but still he is the promotion specialist.
Playing like we did when you have your first choice defence, may just may give us a chance of a point, setting up like we did when some of them are coming in and out all the time suicide and someone please tell me why no one from the 23's are getting a shout now, his saviour for part of this season so far was by necessity not by choice Davis.

We are going to be in this league a good few seasons I think.

[clash city rocker]

A season that could fizzle could out in the next few weeks.

No we will win our next game.

We will be five points off autos by the new Year, and will close that gap when our injured players come back.

It's not that bad guys.

We are doing OK.

We will go up. Please believe it.

I really wish I could have your faith in Bruce achieving this.

Anyone any idea how long this FFP shite will continue to cripple us? We look set to stay in this poxy league for a while and face financial Armageddon. No side can expect to challenge at the top end of this league with the number of goals we score.

[Boz]

Didn't want Bruce when he came to B6 and despite his lucky streak to get us into the top 6, we are not going to get in the top 2 or stop in the top 6 with Bruce's management of the team.

Totally lacking any panache, this team is not going to score enough goals to be promoted and if they somehow were struck by lightening and we were, we'd be straight back down with this manager, his style of play and the squad he's assembled.

Massively frustrating second half. It showed Derby for what they were; well organised and very difficult to breakdown which made the stupid mistake for the goal all the more frustrating.

Hogan showed by getting on the end of a few crosses what a striker up there could do. He should have started.

Without Kodjia and Davis we just had no answer to 11 men behind the ball for 45 minutes.

Snodgrass should have scored, but there wasn't enough created.

Whelan was their best player and the only opportunities they had we conspired to give them.

A dicky two games this where we are likely 3 points off the 4 target we'd have earmarked. Important we bounce back quickly to keep the automatics on the horizon heading into January.

You were smirking when you said that

Not playing with a recognised striker was a stupid move by Bruce. I’m sick of his stupidness.

To be fair, I wouldn't recognise Hogan or Gabby as strikers.

De Boer was manager for 4 games at Palace. It was ludicrous that he was fired. And Koeman did plenty of good things at Southampton and Feyenoord. We pay or managers well. They’d come.

How many shots on target have we had over the last two games?

We aren't far off, haven't lost many games and aren't playing particularly well. We have injuries, and a transfer window coming up.

It's really not that bad.

Keep supporting the team and they will turn it round, it's one or two results away from looking much better.

I understand the disappointment but we are doing OK and are still in there.

[PaulWinch again]

It's just so crushingly predictable.

[Deano's Mullet]

I think we all predicted that result before hand, Bruce is too negative. The formation doesn't suit some of the players and our lack of goal power is crippling us. I can't see us staying in the top six for too long.

[curiousorange]

Bruce has to get us promoted or he's out of a job. But imagine this Villa team against the likes of Man City. Or even Watford and Burnley.
