Same failings again. Not good enough and on the verge of blowing this season.

I genuinely think Bruce is a decent honest man. He didn’t bullshit there he said we were shit and he said we have enough good players on the pitch but they played crap. But the truth is he can’t get the best out of them. Maybe another coach to add the millions he has will help 🤗

That said we could be Birmingham City......

Crap again. We are 3 points better off than at this stage last season. If that is progress and evolution of the Villa Engine we are up shit creek.
We create bugger all again, how many saves did their keeper make? Same for most of our games.

We look unfit and poorly coached. If Man Utd recall Johnstone in January we are even more screwed. He and Albert hav papered over numerous cracks. Brentford's record signing cost £2.5m. Most of them would walk into our team.

Would love Dean Smith in.....no doubt won't happen.

Very poor result.  The wheels are starting to come off.  We need some fresh bodies in January and Bruce has to inject some life into the current squad.  I don't agree that this is a crucial moment in our history.  If we miss out on promotion I think a good appointment could get the squad back on track.

Our decline started with Terrys injury just proves how important he was to us, still doesn't negate the fact that even with him we couldn't beat teams above us.

I'm starting to wish it'll be us - if it means Bruce gets the bullet.

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.


yeah but there is practically no-one else on his wave length. you've got grealish trying to pass it and create stuff and 10 automatons following bruce's directives. like playing with 10 men

Yup. Definition of insanity is continuing to repeat the same action and expect different results. Bruce continues to set the team up wrong and expects us to win, unsurprisingly we don't.

Shouldn't be like that with all the changes in the last 18 months.

Yes plenty of wrong decisions but decisions nonetheless and we needed a shake up after relegation.

Everyone's seen what is happening to Sunderland who haven't changed enough since coming down.

Just seems like whatever we do something fundamentally is broken within the club and I really can't offer any suggestions as those probably won't work either.
