Brentford v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Clark W Griswold]

Surely you can all see he's improved us, we lost 3-0 last season so we're making progress. If we hang on to him I reckon he might have us good enough to go up for the 2020-21 season.
After a dismal first 30 mins Grealish actually played well. Based on his consistency record over the past 3 years I reckon we can expect another good 60 mins or so by the start of next season.

Terrible to watch. Well that's a given for a Bruce side. Ability to compete and defend and up for a fight on boxing day, the things you'd hope from a Bruce side?
 Unfortunately all absent. He's lost his mojo

[ktvillan]

Rubbish football, rubbish tactics and currently rubbish results.  Injuries are no excuse for that.  I said we'd be out of the top 6 by tonight so no surprise at all.  Just a case of how bad it has to get before the trigger is pulled.

Get rid of him. No excuse for this bollocks. Too many times.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Was Hogan actually playing in the second half?

Given the appalling wank that was our midfield he did well to provide two of our best crosses.

Gieven the appalling wank that was our midfield he did well to provide two of our best crosses.

Yep. He had fuck all again and managed an assist.

It’s so bad we have 2 post match threads.

A.Brucie Bonus?

Was asking for that. Play two oil tanker midfielders,  Jack has no one to play off, a lone striker who can't play that way. He really needs to go. Another manager could get so much out of this squad. Well lose against Boro, drift out of the play offs.

[Three Spires Villa]

I am disgusted

[villabear]

Brentford.

Just this. We've no divine right but Brentford.
BTW Lee Hendrie needs to come to my house for a good feed. Neal Redfurn can bugger offf.

[MaireHunt]

How frustrating is it watching Villa at the moment? All corner kicks ballooned into the box, no defensive organisation, players falling down looking for frees like they think they are in the Premiership - and worst of all no heart!  i don't know if changing the manager is the answer! Players need to be shipped out. Step up a gang of young fellas from the academy and see what they can do. We are not going up this season anyway so why not take the risk of developing some quality youngsters?

Just sack the fucker and be done with it. Take the forthcoming financial Armageddon and actually rebuild. This is shit.

[Goldie.7]

Spineless shower led by a clueless donkey.
None of them, with the exception of Hutton, gives a flying shit.

The guy got skinned alive and his throw-ins were like usual, flipping garbage!

[Boz]

It seems from the performances of this team, none of them seem to be the slightest bit interested in considering it an honour to be  playing for Aston Villa while we have a manager who doesn't  have a clue about motivation, getting the basics right or being able to react during a game when changes are essential.

We need to look at the example of Huddersfield and find a young manager who has shown talent and his teams play with a modern style.

Please don't let any change be dictated by having to salvage the season to remain in the division with another "safe pair of hands".
