Aston Villa v Reading Post-Match Thread

Inability to keep a clean sheet, or take our chances at the other end when we’re playing well. That’s the championship!

Warning signs were there, Reading could easily have equalised ten minutes earlier. We're a horrible Steve Bruce side and already play-offs look the best case scenario with him. A chequebook manager with a bit of motivational skills, pretty inept at anything else.

Why is any one surprised?
Why are we 1 nil up at home to Reading and looking desperate?
Why do too many players look like they don’t give a fuck?
Why so many players out of position considering the resources available.

Another calamity by Bruce. He can have no excuses left that he hasn't used several times already, surely the new owners will see through him soon

[Rudy Can't Fail]

First half like a pre-season friendly, second half better but only for a 15 minute spell did we look like we really knew what we were doing. Reading will struggle to stay up this season, they're a very poor side. I can't recall ever seeing a side that knock the ball out of play at every given opportunity. Maybe it was a tactic as they probably knew we still struggle to take a throw-in.

Hopefully the new owners saw today exactly what is holding us back. He's on borrowed time. October is my bet.

To not win that game today says it all. We have had five easy games to start with this season none I believe will be top six contenders.

I am sick of watching Bruce try to defend a one nil lead instead of going for a second. Why bring Neil fffing Taylor on for Kodija. Why not Hepburn Murphy make the pitch big no instead he invites pressure.

These drop points today and not taking advantage at Ipswich will comeback to bite us.

Two points at home this week simply not good enough.

Sheff United and Blackburn away next much harder tests.

He has kept big players and now signed players I assume on big money. No more excuses.

Bruce needs to get a much more attacking style of play and quick or he needs to go.

[CT Villan]

It clearly wasn't a penalty - shafted again by a ref. We have suffered too much this season with bad refereeing. That said, we should have been out of sight in the first half and the blame for that lies with Bruce and to some degree the players.

We will be more thereabouts, than there

Classic villa.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

It’s the end of the world!!! Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!! We’re the worst team in the world, ever!!!!! It’s all over!!!!!!

[ChicagoLion]

At the end we had a RB at LB, a CB at RB, a CM at CB, a LB at LW and a LW as forward when Reading scored.

Which tells you everything about his idiotic football thinking, no Fein idea.

It’s the end of the world!!! Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!! We’re the worst team in the world, ever!!!!! It’s all over!!!!!!

You forgot knicker wetters

What's Chester gone to ground for the fucking idiot?

Poor today but still comfortably the better side. We've gone to bury shit like Reading, but for the 2nd time a few days we spurn chances to put a side away.

The negatives

Thor on the ball slowed us down.

Hutton was diabolical in possession

Far too slow

Chester and his gross stupidity

Albert, Elmo, Hutton and Tuanzebe all woeful in their end product.

It’s the end of the world!!! Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!! We’re the worst team in the world, ever!!!!! It’s all over!!!!!!

Or people expect to beat the bottom side in the league at home, shocking.

[CT Villan]

It’s the end of the world!!! Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!! We’re the worst team in the world, ever!!!!! It’s all over!!!!!!

Well that's added to the debate, thanks.

Good thing we never went down the route of appointing erratic, pretentious, unfamiliar-with-the-Championship foreign frauds like Marcelo Bielsa. Good to stick to the shit you know eh.
