I like what Smith is doing, but we now need to go on a run of winning a few games. Bruce could do this, although it would be followed by a slump.

We cannot complain about how the dice has fallen with 3 out of 4 being Wigan, Ipswich and Reading. Even Hull at home you'd fancy us.

It really is an opportunity to apply some pressure.

Tammy staying feels like a huge lift. Hopefully the positivity isn't wasted.

Not stalking, honest gov!  ;D

And not that difficult. Just find a prediction thread, find Ads' prediction and, boom!

Not a major problem though. I actually enjoy his input and 100% faith that we are going to smash everybody and our rivals are all going to lose every time they play.

Plus, I've actually made money betting against his predictions. So it wouldn't be right to not like his posts.  ;)

We had a little bit of a slow start to this season but nothing major. We were two points off the top six so we were a little bit surprised when we did leave Aston Villa"

1 win in 10 is very slow. To be fair, we were playing the might of Ipswich and co.

We played one team that were in the top half of the championship after half a season during Bruce's reign and that was Sheff Utd, who destroyed us.

We were shit under spud, shit.

There was an article in one of the papers the other day about Bruce going to Sheff Weds. I kid you not, the journalist actually stated SB saved us from imminent relegation in 16/17 in his piece!

I know he has mates in the press but that really is taking the mick.

Ten man Ipswich and we still couldn’t win.

Can someone confirm what the actual points gap to the top six was when we gave him the boot to firmly disprove this utter bollocks?

Bloody hell. I stand corrected. Seemed a lot worse than that at the time.

He should have been sacked immediately after that game at Bramall Lane, easily in the top 10 worst Villa performances I’ve ever seen.

I was surprised aswell. We were down lower in the league at that time (12th).

Around that time a few teams started to hit their stride. Norwich were only 2 points clear of us then and obviously went on their incredible run.

Problem with poor starts is you gave good teams 5-10 point head starts. Leeds were 7 clear of us after the PNE game and we obviously haven't got close to them since.

As the target was automatic and the performances were clueless, I have no idea what his point is.

Harvey Barnes been recalled by Leicester from the Albion. Massive blow for them, what a shame.
