Brentford v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[rob_bridge]

my patience with this shower of shite is wearing very very thin.

I hope the owner is past that point.

Indeed - it is important he has.

There can be NO excuses for the dirge served up recent weeks. None.

If you set up to play negatively, making the team more prone to defensive mistakes and have no idea how to manage a game in terms of keeping a lead, getting late winners and make timely substitutions then you are not fit to manage this club.

GOOD-BYE

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

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

No, it would point to a person having a opinion different to yours.

It points to an internet troll who is permanently on a wind up.

Calling a fellow fan a troll because I said we didnt play terrible? Oh dear. I can only suggest you ignore my posts if that's what you really think. Simple as that really.

He lost the away crowd last night.

There is a Jack-Knifed Lorry blocking a chunk of the M1 - it is still moving faster than Glen Whelan.

[Clampy]

He said before the game that he was going to freshen things up and give a chance to players who have been waiting and other than Hogan and Elphick coming in, he didnt really. De Laet should have started, RHM should have been on the bench and we still havent seen Bjarnasson play where he does for his country.

I don't think you are trolling anyone but the continued defence of Bruce seems misguided at best and utterly mind boggling from my chair.

All I said last night was that we didnt play overly terrible. No, of course it's not good enough and if it continues then the inevitable will happen and besides, if Ad's is right about the away support losing patience then that's where it normally starts.

As you know, I've never been a fan of the man. Mainly because he has no discernible winning style and stays with the tried and tested even when the opposition has worked it out.
I didn't go last night but will be at the Riverside on Saturday, when Pulis will doubtlessly outwit him ... after which, DrT should deliver the coup de grace.

A question: is Dean Smith someone who could come in and actually make a difference?

I would expect in the short term the results to be similar where we knock on the door to or scrape the playoffs. I have little doubt the actual playing style would be much improved.

Taylor ball-watching for the second goal, and Hutton making crass mistakes; Elphick diving in like it's some sort of last-man-standing competition; Elmo looking like the only Villa player who can cross a ball (other than Hogan for the equaliser).
It's the basics of passing, moving and controlling the ball, a lack of shape and off-form players being played.

Other than that, we're fine.

[darren woolley]

We didn't play well last night but the highlight for me was drinking in the Griffin pub before the match and talking to a retired ex coach who used to coach John Terry when he was 12 or 13 years old.

[Hookeysmith]

Surely Whelan  jedinak and the truly awful Snodgrass have to be taken out of this side.

But you just know barring injury they will be the first names on the team sheet come Saturday.

This is Brucies biggest failing  (as inept tactical ability is now just accepted by all) in favouring the same players even when any form has disappeared

[Villatillidie25]

I honestly don’t see what Snodgrass brings to the team. He’s offers nothing and constantly slows the game down by cutting back onto his left foot but, rather than driving inside, he simply rolls it back to the RB or inside to the midfield. He never takes his man out of play by beating him or playing an incisive ball and is just another one who is too slow and pedestrian. Without green or kodjia we are frightningly laborious and slow.
