How about this?

Kortney Hause and Glen Whelan, ladies and gentlemen.

Bloody hell. That makes the third Swansea goal last week look like a defensive masterclass by comparison.

On the train on the way home. Fucking awful. Nobody comes out with any credit at all. Write it off and on to next week. Jesus it was bad.

Taylor, Elphick and Chester are 3 of the worst defenders to don a Villa shirt in my living memory. I am not surprised that we got thumped  so easily by a League 1 outfit. We need a new defence made up of two solid signings and two of our kids coming through for start of next season.

Honeymoon over, the least you can accept from a team is commitment there was none today, apart from McGinn I can't point to one player that earned his wages, the press we used was half hearted players going through the motions no hunger at all. Why would he bring Whelan on when we needed goals when we had Davis on the bench? The new goalkeeper saved us first half against with a couple of brilliant saves but all in all we got turned over by a very ordinary side that fought for the cause. Both full backs were woeful, Hourihane, Whelan, Bolaise useless get rid.

I've been against the Bolaise fiasco from day one - a total waste of money, be it 80k a week or 8k a week. Green should have been given a chance

A totally unnecessary and typical Bruce signing.

I find it a slap in the face and quite frankly an insult that Smith has the nerve to question the referees performance here, the ref should be the furthest thing from his thoughts.

WE HAVE JUST BEEN BATTERED 3-0 BY WIGAN WITHOUT A SINGLE SHOT ON TARGET IN 90+ MINUTES!

How about you get in that f'n dressing room instead and do what should have been done after the Swansea debacle and start wiping the floor with the laziest, cudnt give a toss, disinterested players that you are supposed to be managing.

What coaching or management has he done during the week exactly to try remedy the cup game?.....whatever it was its made things worse.

I remember a few weeks back this was all Steve Bruces fault. No they are shit players out for an aeasy ride at our expense. We lose to teams like this showing absolutely no passion for club or fans.  Bet most of them are partying hard somewhere tonight and saying "Fuck off twats" to us. Keep Grealish and Mcginn and start again. Pay them £800 pound a week when they put in a performance like this to let know what life is like outside their protected bubble. BONE IDLE TWATS

I pretty much called this out when he came - my Evertonian mates gave me the heads up - he's had time to get fit after a long layoff but like many others he doesn't look arsed - paid mega bucks win or lose

It’s still Steve Bruce’s fault. Almost all of it. With the exception of Tammy those loans have been dreadful. And the only transfer that has worked is McGinn. After that just a disaster.

It was a horrible one, but that's the Championship.
