Hull City v Aston Villa match thread

[pauliewalnuts]

All the urgency of a pre season friendly.

[four fornicholl]

It was plain to see we weren't at the races after ten fucking minutes.

[Goldie.7]

We keep hold of the ball way too long. Play the fucking ball quicker you shower of disappointment.

[auntiesledd]

Bruce sees we've lost midfield. Takes off our defensive midfielder, drops us from 3 to 2 man in the middle and puts a striker on. Then we've got even less of the ball. Classic Bruce.
We're waiting for one moment of possible magic, and hoping we take it now.

This Utd kid Tuanzebe. Really do not see what he brings to the side. He's definitely not a fullback and he's a worry defensively and not great on the ball. I'm all for loan players, but they need to add something to the side.

We don't look like we've had an international break either. Very leggy. It just seems like we've burned out now. Our best players are getting on a bit, or have struggled a lot with injury, and it looks like it's showing in the run in.

Perhaps he's impressed with his extensive collection of custom-made Beats Headphones?

Season over now until the play offs start. All these experienced players were supposed to carry us through the run in. We've completely bottled it.

Personally I'd rest some of them in the run in.

As Tom mentioned we have plenty of 30 + year olds in our starting 11 and after that great effort v Wolves it's starting to show.

We need everyone fit and firing for the play offs. Don't see how that will be achieved by starting them game after game in the run in.

2nd is obviously gone.

There are rules against that now.

Grealish free kick was top drawer.

[JUAN PABLO]

thsi is why Bruce aint good enough

get rid end of season

makes warnock look like alex ferguson

[andyh]

Lansbury is fucking wank in a ‘no man’ midfield

[supertom]

It astonishes me that the last few Villa managers have watched us losing a midfield battle and then thrown on a load of strikers as if it's the answer. Bruce has previous. Hogan, Grabban and Kodjia up and we've got a midfield of Grealish and Snodgrass, which leaves Lansbury as the 'disciplined' 'ball winner.' It's like Bruce has never watched Lansbury before. 

[auntiesledd]

I'll never ever fully understand what Lansbury does

That's a bit harsh. His contribution to contemporary hairstyles is second to none.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Where is the Villa against Wolves? Bristol? Blues?
Genuinely puzzled.

[andyh]

Miskicks, slices, shit up and unders.
We are team who have put themselves under too much mental pressure.

I don't mean all at one go.

John Terry hasn't look at his imperious best last few games. Rest him for a few. Plenty criticising Axel on here, on Man. United forum they all say his best position is at CB so play him there.

We will need Jedinak for the play offs. Not sure we need him for Reading at home.

[Axl Rose]

We just seem devoid of any urgency. An inept performance. There have been too many of late. Sort it out Brucey!
