Brentford v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[ROBBO]

Alarming that all season we have never beaten a team above us, he has to go now another hard game coming up which we will lose and get further behind. To see Brentford bloody Brentford playing us so easily after all the money that's been spent is a total disgrace, we will be mid table in two weeks.

Truly appalling display. They have to make a change before it is too late. Modern day managers are often criticized for not having a Plan B. Bruce avoids this by not having a plan A. Even his friends in the media are starting to call him out. I am amazed people continue to support him on here. Other than the continuity argument I just don't get it. If he is the wrong man, (and he is) he could be there for ever and it aint working.

Winless in 5 now isn't it?

We're going backwards. Looking worse every week. No semblance of offensive strategy. Hoof, pray, reset. Overlap over the sideline, hoof, drop off, repeat.

Discouraging football. Whelan, Onomah despite the goal, Chester were all poor. Second half was genuinely atrocious for a team at Brentford looking to make a promotion push.

Newcastle bounce right back and we're floundering like idiots down here.

The reasons we won’t go up are there for all to see again tonight.  So called lesser teams set up correctly to play with a consistent plan time and again outplay us tactically and football wise.  Dean Smith made one change at half time to double up on Jack Grealish and so our chances of victory go. This is down to the man that doesn’t do tactics.  You might know him.

Seasons greeting from Aston Villa.

No taxi, make the fucker walk.

We already are,

[West Derby Villan]

We are unable to pass the ball to one another. We cannot string more than three passes together. When we move into the opponents half we stop and inevitably play the ball backwards. But the bottom line is that we cannot pass the ball, so frustrating!

Dreadful. Clueless, and no wins in 5. No doubt he’ll be spinning the excuses like a pro.

Was Hogan actually playing in the second half?

Not sure if this pointed at Hogan, but it’s very obvious that he thrives on through balls and we produced fuck all. Had he played for his old club today he could have had two or three.

Bruce with his “tactics” and selection is an embarrassment, and more importantly he won’t get us promoted.

So way sitting here.  I am not a Bruce fan he is very much yesterdays man but what viable options and please don't say Gary monks

Dear Brentford, as a Christmas kindness, is there any chance we could take your manager, coaching staff,  and say, erm, all your players?

That would be much appreciated.

Merry Christmas.

Jack was shite tonight.

Everything is sent down the wings. One time he got a throughball down the middle he scored - ok it was offside but it just shows we don't play to his strengths.

A fairly routine home win for the Brentford against a team they would have have been expected to beat.

Yup, both adjectives are relevant here. He has no idea.
