Brentford v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Whiney MacWhineface]

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

Have you been hacked Clampy? This is a parody account isn’t it?

Agree about the disappointed bit though.

We were worse than terrible. To think otherwise would strongly point to a person being on a wind up.

The players look disinterested

Yes. Chester looked at one point to be thinking

" What am i doing here ? "

I like him and he is a good player. But he is part of the problem and needs to sort out the defence. No one who has played the last few games should be given an easy ride

The club smells of death.

Sadly, that's the impression I get too. A foul stench of mundane shit served week in, week out.

Will it ever end?

Too many times we looked for the long ball up field which surrenders the possession. Many times it's Johnson who catches it and then rushes to punt it.
There's no point doing that with Hogan and Grealish up front.
The one passage of play where we keep it on the floor, be patient and probe we score.

The question is whether Dr Tony gives Bruce some money in Jan, or gives it to someone else.

When I saw our line up I knew it was going to be screaming sphincter time. Elphick at the back. The "rufus smalls" of the champ scott hogan up front, Jedi and Whelan who shouldn't be on the pitch at the same time. Got to be one of the shittest Villa first 11's in recent history.

But I think the injuries will be Bruce's saving grace and he will stay till the summer at least.

Come on Clampy, it's been rubbish again.

Ive seen us play worse and win. My issue is that there is no real plan, the tactics are defensive ( Jedinak and Whelan) starting tonight and above all else there has been no real progress in 16 months

We have a lot of good players, just a wanker in charge.

[Loxton01]

Very very disappointing. Bruce I do think is an honest and decent bloke but the tactics and coaching lack ambition. We setup to win one nil and without Terry we have lacked steeel.

We have a lot of overpaid old slow premier league rejects who are getting found out in snodgrass whelan etc.

We bought a player in Hogan who looks sharp but never gets any support or help and we wonder why he has scored only one goal!

I would seriously consider getting in Dean Smith watching tonight they had a style of play they entertained were energetic. That’s with a team on a shoestring of a budget compared to ours. He deserves a chance and is a villa fan

F-ck off potato head! Enough is enough!

I don't know about death, but certainly desperation. Even when we were winning, the way we protected leads was last-gasp and disorganised. Virtually every forward ball tonight was hit and hope and rarely did it find the player it was intended for. The players are either disinterested or terrified and Bruce will not change that now. Fear has set in and the same old shite won't make any difference psychologically. Bruce is toast.

[ciggiesnbeer]

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......

He is a decent guy. I dont dislike him. He has tried his best and it hasnt worked out. I would think a lot more of him if he offered his resignation immediately. It is time for a change. Other teams have sussed him out. Its not going to get any better.

I think some of the stench is coming from  Wyness

We haven’t got any money
