You talk some shite.

As I've said believe what you want but deep down you know I am right

You're not right, you're an idiot. In fact you're very likely the biggest idiot we've ever had on here and God knows, there's some competition for that particular title.

He gave the ball away and got bullied.
 

Sometimes, but that might improve with some gametime. He made intelligient runs and played some good balls, won some tackles he had no right to win and generally put effort in. Which some or his more experienced colleagues didn't.

This. I was trying to say the same thing above but cocked up the quote thingy. To me , he was one of the very few positives we can take from today together with Angela’s  brief return.

Completely agree. He needs to go and get a loan in League One like Grealish did so he can learn how to deal with seasoned old pros. Today he was just getting brushed aside like a small child.

When words like Smith gets a free bye this season (when Bruce didn't) maybe I'd think you weren't talking shit yourself

You don't think Bruce got a free bye in his first half a season?

Steve Bruce had very positive support I thought when he arrived.
I think people looked at his cv and thought he was well equipped to take us forward.

Course he did.  Got a free pass like all new mangers of all clubs do.  The only Villa exception I can remember was McLeish.  I thought at the time he might be so left field the it might just 'work'.  But... it didn't.  But there was a significant number of us that couldn't do with him. 

Bruce was different, but didn't quite work out.

New manager 'bounce'/honeymoon is over.

Time to earn your corn, Mr Smith, as that was pure garbage today.

One of the main reasons Bruce came was the promise of a free bye. Only he thought they said free pie.

Eventually...yes. But there was antipathy from the off (from some).  He was shit though.
