Aston Villa 2-0 Rotherham Post Match Thread

[CT Villan]

AVTV post-match interview is the usual bull, though at the end he can't help himself and has a go at "the local newspaper for it's nonsense and negativity". That's them told !

Bruce with his ‘dish it out after an unconvincing win’ bollocks is fast becoming my least favourite manager of recent years.

For me he is getting very, very close to O'Leary. Very close. Wanker

I’m going to be positive tonight.  We are in the top six without looking anywhere near our best.  Surely with McGinn Grealish Kodjia Abraham and Bolasie it’s got to click soon.

Things don't just click. They're made to.

Bruce’s post match interview on WM on the way home has wound me up; sarcastically saying “I obviously don’t know what I’m doing” and people who think Jedinak isn’t a CB don’t know what they’re on about. Also, we played well at Blackburn apparently.

I think PWS said if we win tonight, Bruce will act the twat post-match. He was spot on.

Yes heard that and he was pathetic. Mentioned "lot of nonsense has been said/written".

Can't listen to him without wanting to smash my phone.

Bleeding Ron Manager wannabe.

Forget the crap on the pitch, he shows every week in his post match interviews he just isn’t up to the job. It’s ok to be snarky, sullen, and critical when the product is good (see much of Mourinho at Chelsea, or Belickick at the Patriots) but to try pull it off when the team is so obviously disjointed and the results unflattering is a serious case of O’Leary. I can only surmise he just doesn’t get it.

Get the fuck out

[Fred Crump]

I’m going to take the positives from that - I thought Kodjia and Abraham linked up well and McGinn was superb at times. Bolassie looks a real threat and defence ( apart from the keeper) looked balanced and in control. Far from totally convincing but not as bad as some have made out. Downside is it gives a bit more time for SB to annoy us.

[olaftab]

That was painful once again. However McGinn was brilliant followed closely by Kodjia. Not impressed with El Ghazi but Bolasie looked a different class when he came on.

Bruce with his ‘dish it out after an unconvincing win’ bollocks is fast becoming my least favourite manager of recent years.

I still think he's a decent bloke but he's clearly been rattled by all the criticism he's been getting in the last year. It comes with managing a big club I'm afraid Steve. Lose a few games and yes it is a crisis.

What I don't understand is he played for Man. United for years and the exact same happens there when they don't win for 3-4 games so odd to me he finds it all a shock.

I would like him to save his I told you so attitude for when we actually get promoted...if he's still here of course which I doubt.

[FrankyH]

I listened to Bruce on the radio on the way back and knew he would come out with that shite. Win 5 or 6 on the trot and maybe then you can justify giving it the Big Un.
I think he knows he's on borrowed time, but while he's still here he can call us all Drama Queens when we win at home against the likes of Rotherham.

I can't think of many occasions when they went 3-4 games without a win while Ferguson was there.

[CJ]

Some good individual contributions - Jedinak, Chester, McGinn, Hourihane, Grealish, and Abraham, and Bolasie gave us a real lift when he came on - but still the team is less than the sum of its parts. A typical Bruce throw this lot on and see what they can do. Don't like Grealish as a left winger even though he played well. Any enjoyment I felt after the win was completely destroyed by Bruce's childish comments on WM on the way home. Oh, and he always likes to play 2 up top don't you know. Had me fooled but look what a difference it makes when you actually do it.

More a general example, just look a few weeks back when they lost twice in a week and the press was having a field day predicting Mourinho's demise.

I only care about what happens on the pitch. He can spout about whatever he wants, just win games Bruce.
