Bristol City Vs Aston Villa Post Match Thread

We're there or thereabouts, we're more thereabouts than there, to be fair, Nan's hair.

A beautifully constructed sentence. Lovely rhythm.

Well done Conor and Thor on rescuing a point.
If Tammy is injured then why take Kodjia off (especially with no strikers on the bench)? Remove the injured player, keep Kodjia on and end the game with at least one striker. This is happening too often (Reading, Rotherham, Bristol) and is clearly a "tactic" of Bruce as to seeing games out negatively.
When Bruce says there or thereabouts, he is clearly revealing one of his main tactics in discussions with the players-"IF you get the ball, hit it there or thereabouts (pointing vaguely in the direction of the opposition half) and something MIGHT happen"
F.O.B.

Did anyone notice when Bruce took Tammy off,  as the boos got louder, you could see Bruce look across and angrily shake his head at the away fans. He kept pointing to his feet as if to say Tammy had a foot problem. Please go now!

He has a calf injury according to wor Steve

That was an awful team we were playing and couldn't beat them. Tactics were awful from the start and then he moved Jack back to the right. Taylor was one of our best players in his last match and we seem better imo with a left footed left back. He has not been near the squad since.

One thing I'm pretty sure of is that adding Taylor back into the team isn't the answer to the myriad of problems we have.

He wants his pay off. He's not going to walk away empty handed. We're trapped by ffp. That's the situation we're in.

The proof that Bruce doesn't have a clue is there for all to see ....

Pre match against Sheff Wed he highlighted their most dangerous player - he wasn't playing
Post match last night he states we are 4 points off the top of the table - actually 5

Seems like he has a memory issue maybe that explains why players play out of position

A decent 10 mins, the rest garbage, if we lose on Tuesday it must be goodbye Brucie. We'll be in the bottom half tomorrow night.

See, that’s the problem.......it’s always the next game that is the decider.

Just fucking do it now!

I agree 100% I was thinking the owners might give him another game unfortunately.

I've thought for a little bit now that he's got (what is now) two more games regardless.

[Malandro]

Dull.

[brian green]

And overcast.

With a high probability of boredom.

[Damo70]

At least we've got a new song.

Brilliant, a stroke of genius.

He's just a manager behind the times in his approach.

WM were mentioning after half an hour that half the team were coming to the bench to ask what was going on when there was an injury break. This eventually lead to Grealish and Kodjia swopping flanks.

Point was reasonably made if we were properly prepared during the week players would know what to do if we want behind etc.

Our preparation on the training ground just isn't good enough otherwise we wouldn't constantly get these mediocre performances.

[Damo70]

We have played ten games and only lost two and are currently only two points off a play off place and only four points off an automatic promotion place. The problem is we are currently mid table and unless we improve our points to games ratio that is exactly where we will be come the end of the season.

I'm not a huge fan of Twitter, but #thereorthereabouts has become a "thing". A couple of videos from last night have been tagged. No Sunshine Band, though.
