Since being relegated we have lost four out of four against Brentford. Yes Brentford! Three of those were under Bruce's management. We are not getting any better. We are a team in decline. Let's hope that the club big wigs have the common sense to have his replacement already lined up. I don't want to over dramatise the situation but I believe this is a critical moment in the history of Aston Villa that could go either way.

That’s it for me. We’re second best to Brentford. Again. Totally unacceptable.  A constant stream of individual errors, some forced by a team with more energy, more purpose and more positivity. Jedinak and Whelan in midfield simply offer us nothing going forward. Snodgrass is peripheral and can’t make an impression. Taylor is lightweight. Hutton was second best to their left winger all night long. Bruce out.

Bruce actually achieved the impossible tonight and made me feel sorry for Grealish. I think the guy is totally powderpuff BUT is there was ever a player less suited to Bruce-ball its him. I can't imagine why Bruce would want a comfortable on the ball player anywhere near his side unless he wants to show him up.

So if anyone can get us promoted it''s Steve Bruce as he is a promotion specialist.  Who the fuck said that ?. I have never liked him mainly down to the fact that he never shoulders any responsibility when things go wrong. At the moment I detest this man for what he is doing to our club whilst at the same time picking up wages most of us could only dream about.

we actually have lost two of the four but looked shit in the two draws we've had with them. its still crap no matter how we look at it.

Can’t see any chance of promotion

Looks like it’ll be a local derby against Shrewsbury next season.

Looking forward to it, and don't be surprised when they beat us.

Just awful. Sure we have injuries but the likes of Hogan, Elphick, Jedinak etc are from successful teams in this league, but somehow Bruce has made them look like a bag of shit

We've drawn the two at home. Once teams realise they can beat us easily at Villa Park as well we're fucked.

We are three points off the play offs so he isnt going anywhere. Wyness has put too much faith in Bruce and it will be a sign of his own weakness if he recommends to the Dr to sack him.

He will be here a while longer

Just watching the Bruce interview. He looks a beaten man

Grealish is the one player who tries to make things happen that's why the opposition double team him. watching players on big money unable to complete a ten yard pass really pisses me off.

I fully expected a loss. Under clueless Bruce we seem to have these awful runs where we go umpteenth games without a win. That was a horror show and I expect more to follow.

Snodgrass first in the team come Saturday ::)

Yeah your right. I wasn't thinking straight and my eyes were still bulging lol. In both of the draws we've managed against them they were clearly the better team.

I didnt think we were that overly terrible but far too obvious at times, especially in the second half. Disapointed with result though.
