Middlesbrough vs Aston Villa Head Tennis Match Thread

Absolute shite.

[Boz]

Dreadful...we have completely lost our way at the moment. No drive from midfield and nothing to aim for upfront.

Not just at the moment, for several weeks, and seems likely to continue with our current management and coaching.

How long before the venerable Tony sees the light?

[CT Villan]

I feel really guilty as I'm almost at the point where I wouldn't be bothered if we lost if it got rid of Bruce.

[Jimbo]

Un-Bruce us, Tony. Do it tonight.

[JUAN PABLO]

if he was going to play whelan today he needs sacking for that

[WarszaVillan]

half-time...and to other more exciting news, grass is green.

Snotgrass

If Hogan wants to do something useful, I've got a load of rubbish to take to the tip, and my car needs washing.

He would just drive for miles hoping to find the tip by chance and then stop cleaning the car partway through, moving absent-mindedly to the part of the driveway with no car and no bucket n sponge.

I don't get it though - he was doing brilliantly for Brentford. How did we manage to Villa him?

It's very obvious we have zero attacking strategy.

[john e]

give Bruce his due he has bought that stability that people said we needed
we are exactly the same every week now

Jota used to slide the ball past central defenders and Hogan would meet it to score. Like buying a sports car and then using it for Tesco and school runs, Villa must have been wowed by the performance stats, without realising Hogan needs fuel and a skilled navigator and driver.

It looks like we're playing with eight. Not because we're being overwhelmed, just because we have no idea what to do with a football.

Like several others we signed who looked good signings until they arrived at VP and fell under the spell of B6 management and coaching

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

It's a bit like watching The Archers. Lots of anonymous characters going through the motions with no hint of drama whatsoever.

[paulcomben]

May as well throw on O’Hare and RHM and either win or go down fighting. No risk. No reward.

[Legion]

At least we're consistent. Week in. Week out.

To mix metaphors, that ship has sailed.
