Just got back from Cardiff, I take no joy what so ever in watching us lose in fact it ruins my weekend. When picking a manager I belive his style of play should be the way your club likes to play. Over the years we have always played attacking football with fast wingers and a target man you need a manager who understands the Villa way and has a similar style. Bruce has worked at other clubs but his not a fit for us. I been telling people for ages Bruces tactically inept and has brought poor players and only now people are starting to see it. We all want the club to do well but his not the man. I suggest we give him the Reading game and if we lose again sack him. I know its early but last year we left it far to late we are already 5 points off it we can't afford to lose anymore ground. I know you will all disagree with me so Iam not gona keep saying Bruce out Iam gona let him hang himself and let his results do the talking. I go to every game home and away Iam aloud a opinion.



12 Aug 2017 23:28:15
Your entitled to your opinion but if you stick to your word and stop constantly posting about him and let the results do the talking you wouldn't get so many disagrees. And you don't need to constantly remind everyone how you go home and away like you've got something to prove.



12 Aug 2017 23:21:09
You go home and away. I think the doctor should ring and ask you what to do.



12 Aug 2017 23:56:33
Personally I prefer Neighbours 😁😁.



12 Aug 2017 20:43:46
Is Paul Lambert in a job? 😂.



12 Aug 2017 20:28:12
I will probably get slated for this but here goes I'm thick skinned, At the start of last season Newcastle lost their first 2 games and out of the 1st 8 had lost 3 and still went on to win the league I know the football ain't great and today's result was a shambles but it's a marathon not a sprint I'm not sticking up for Bruce but let's give him at least 8-10 games to see what happens the trouble is we all think we are better than any other team in this horrible league, It's brutal to say the least personally I think bruce will turn it around but if not I will hold my hands up I'm man enough to do this onwards and upwards I am and always will be Villa till my last dying day.



12 Aug 2017 22:23:02
Fair play to you for having a level head after a game like that, no one will agree with you tonight but people reading this on Tuesday morning will get you point, well explained and back up Daz. As an isolated two games it isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things however the manor in which we lost, getting destroyed and the manor in which we drew, missing chance after chance it just pulls all hope out of you.



12 Aug 2017 23:28:21
Good point but it just feels too much like same old same old? Hope you are right and we don't end up with starting with a new manager mid season! Infuriating with the players we have and Bruce's past promotions history! Harrd to fathom VTID.



12 Aug 2017 18:22:35
Wasn't at the game (Paw Patrol live at The Barclaycard lol) I haven't seen any of the posts mentioning that they were at the game too, so how can they judge if they weren't? Just putting it out there. On the flipside, got to go along with a few posters calling for Sherwood, at least he came across as he really cared, assuming Dr Tony does have an itchy trigger finger.? and I'd be interested to see what WTW has to say, because after today you're all saying what you've been giving him pelters for?

You only have to hear Bruce after the game to tell how crap the villa were,
But he has been saying the same all last season nothing has changed I'm afraid to say!



12 Aug 2017 18:54:22
I was there!
And trust me I wish I was at paw patrol.



12 Aug 2017 18:57:15
And it's the fact he wanted him to fail.



12 Aug 2017 19:29:07
I get where you're coming from, I haven't heard Bruce yet, if I can defend WTW, can you say anyone wanted McLiesh to succeed? It's a Nose thing, from memory, can only think of Curbishley not being 'wanted to fail' suppose we should be over that stuff but it's always the 1st thing we'll dig them out for. I honestly think Bruce should be given the chance to turn it around but wouldn't cry over him getting the boot and Sherwood coming in, tbh, if we don't get at least 7 points from the next 3 games like some have said, I reckon he'll be gone anyways

12 Aug 2017 23:03:17
There's no denying WTW is a reaction poster, half the facts he posts are lies, he said lansburys passing accuracy last year was 45%, google it. And he is so eager for us to fair and so negative towards everything villa it's hard to see him as a supporter.



13 Aug 2017 00:04:33
He's this forums Farage, he's saying what most really think but most have a PC filter stopping it, got to give him credit for that? Bring on the pelters for mentioning Farage, but going back to something I've said on here in the past, Gregory and Sherwood didn't have that filter, and probs gave us some of our best moments as Villa fans, would cut off a nut to have them times back

UTV.



13 Aug 2017 09:54:19
"Says what most people think" I don't think like an attention seeking 4 year old mate, speak for yourself.



13 Aug 2017 13:31:50
Most not all

UTV.



12 Aug 2017 17:52:17
We play Reading on Tuesday is that live on sky.



12 Aug 2017 18:23:57
I think the reading match is on tv how great is that?
Also just seen Rudy gestude scored the first goal for Middlesbrough?
Ex villa Strikers always seem to score elsewhere than at villa.



12 Aug 2017 18:32:05
The reading game is a 6 pointer already villa 21st and reading 20 th IN table?



12 Aug 2017 17:16:51
I'd happily have sherwood back over this shower of sh**e. And that's saying something. Give the job to giggs, at least his young and eager to prove himself. Before anyone bangs on about lack of experience then don't come that crap with me. How much experience has Bruce got in this division? Say no more.



12 Aug 2017 17:45:13
Smudge1976
I tend to agree a little about Sherwood,
Never thought I would say that,
Bruce even now does not know his best system and who to play,
He seems to be putting players names in a hat and picking out 11 before every game,
We have not improved since last year and Bruce has had more games than most to get this right!
The Dr must have very itchy fingers at present,
He will not be happy at all.



12 Aug 2017 17:59:08
The wolves manager has come in with 11new players and from day one you can see how his team plays,
They are organised from the back and if they get this new striker they are after they will be there abouts for top 2,
We look more destined for the bottom 6 if I'm honest,
How big are these next 3 games,
Reading, Norwich, and Bristol city!
7 points mininum for me,
But I have to say after watching the rubbish today 2 points is all I can see coming our way,
I'm not panicking after only 2 games but you have to say the signs don't look good if you are honest with yourselves.



12 Aug 2017 18:40:46
My big fear is we get rid of Bruce and bring in moyes!
He is close friends with round and wyness.



12 Aug 2017 22:42:07
If we bring in Moyes then we really be in the do do.



12 Aug 2017 16:51:10
I give up.
I like Bruce, think he is a genuine nice bloke.

But let's be honest. 2 shots on target says it all.
We need wins, we need goals.
Sadly. got to go.



12 Aug 2017 17:05:06
Flackie
You know I'm not a Bruce fan and was prepared to give him 15 games but for me that is to many games
I say give him 3 more games then decide,
Only trouble then is who do you bring in?
That's the 1000 dollars question,
I think the Terry affect had now disappeared now!



12 Aug 2017 17:05:43
How has he managed to get promotion 3 times with other teams?

If he goes, who's about that come in and rescue us?



12 Aug 2017 17:08:30
Our away form is truly disgusting to witness,
Are we really on sky tv again on Tuesday?
Well that's another defeat now!



12 Aug 2017 17:16:00
We may have reached this point at the same time mate, can't defend it any more. No tactics, no quality, no hope.



12 Aug 2017 17:17:27
It's absolute madness to say that after 2 games Flackie. It really is
Even madder is the fact that I agree with you 100 %
We've both lost it!



12 Aug 2017 17:25:34
Every time Cardiff went forward they looked like scoring!
It could have been 8 goals past us!
What are our defensive coaches doing at bodymoor!
The club is to big for Steve Bruce I'm afraid,
Looking at that table after 2 games is depressing to see,
I know it's only 2 games but you need momentum and it looks crap at the moment
Has the Dr said anything yet or is he back in hospital after watching this shambles,



12 Aug 2017 17:31:13
I'm same. I wanted give him time. But this is shocking. It's not working.
Not chairman fault he brings in proven champ manager and it doesn't work. Only worry is WHO do you bring in and he had got play with this team. We have no money thanks to ffp.
Was looking forward to this season not anymore.



12 Aug 2017 18:34:15
Seemingly absolutely no progress from last season! Has has a full preseason and what has he done?! Too many of same head dropping players from last season. Can't see the Dr not doing some management surgery in September if don't get those 7 points! Enough is enough sort it out Bruce.



12 Aug 2017 18:39:27
Make Terry manager, Glen Hoddle ass, passion and brains,



12 Aug 2017 18:42:25
Mendax! You of all know I wouldn't say this stuff.
But it's not the results, as much as the amateur style.

I really like Bruce. But head over heart. we need to at least compete. Sadly we are beaten before kick off, you can tell by the shell shock look on 7 out of 11 players.

When the players don't believe in what they are doing, you stand no chance.



12 Aug 2017 21:08:35
I agree with ya mate. Totally
I was just making the point that it seems crazy on the face of it. But as you say, the players don't seem to be buying in to whatever he is trying to do.



12 Aug 2017 16:41:27
Im not one to call for manager but we need a manger to attack 3nil to cardiff is shocking . bring in ryan giggs or dwight yorke.



12 Aug 2017 16:45:29
Interesting to hear what the Dr says about this on Twitter!



12 Aug 2017 17:42:14
He will say the same rubbish. He needs to concentrate on recruitment. I know ffp is holding us back but invest in the right places. We needs a striker as kodja is out till mid September. Give young hungry players a go. They can't do any worse than Hogan and gabby. Ohare was outstanding against Colchester as was jed steer. If Bruce does go who would replace him and who would want to. We don't stick by our managers.



12 Aug 2017 17:57:51
Give Giggs a go, at this rate he could not do any worse. Reading our next game, I Will get my score in early a Villa win.



12 Aug 2017 21:11:54
How do you know Giggs couldn't do any worse? He has no pedigree in management whatsoever. The only way what you say would make sense would be if if was impossible for things to get worse. And if you believe that, you really are deluded.



12 Aug 2017 22:22:13
Bruce out Sherwood or Giggs in.



12 Aug 2017 22:28:32
You could play Giggs upfront if he was no good as a manager.



12 Aug 2017 23:32:15
Yeah, alright.



12 Aug 2017 16:37:48
Im done Bruce out.



12 Aug 2017 16:43:14
Don't forget Johnson has made 6 top saves as well,
The score could have been really embarrassing!
We look a bottom team at the moment,
We have played some pretty football at times but going nowhere with it
No cutting edge!
This is very worrying now and if we lose at reading then what will Bruce say?



12 Aug 2017 16:45:04
Looking like we'll be scrapping round the bottom come the end of the season.



12 Aug 2017 16:46:59
Agree with that,
Did not expect this rubbish!



12 Aug 2017 16:34:20
I've realised how and why we get our hopes up, Bruce, Wyness, all of them are just brilliant talkers, and nothing else. Play a 5 foot 10 striker and lump it up to him, even when he gets a chance he couldn't score to save his life. Sign a big name centre half just to look good in twitter, best part of our game last year was our defence yet we spend what money we can spend on 50k a week for a 36 year old centre half. I'm not one for slating Bruce just for something to say like WTW with no evidence or substance, but today we had nothing, had a good first 10 where again hogan missed a handful of chances but after that nothing. It's so embarrassing. All the talk of "we must have a good start" "we must learn from the mistakes of last year", we have absolutely no chance of achieving anything with this team, this team would get absolutely tanked by the team that got us relegated. Bringing on the young O'Hare who can't even get the ball off the floor from a corner shows just how out of touch we are. Can't wait to hear Bruce's false aggression in the interview after. I give up.



12 Aug 2017 16:33:50
Steve Bruce please go, you are clueless.
At the moment we are losing 3-0 to Cardiff and have had 1 shot on target.
How can he keep playing Lansbury and Gabby, why sell Baker.
I know that certain people will shoot me down, but let's face it this side is clueless and it is Steve Bruces team.



12 Aug 2017 16:02:37
Villa shocking at the moment bruce should set the team up to attack with the players we have green and adomah on wings,4/ 3/ 3 i'd play.



12 Aug 2017 16:20:18
Greens injured come on, catch up.



12 Aug 2017 16:35:49
Terry brought in to get the team organised and to be honest we look terrible at the back,
Hardly any No goal threat
And kodjia out for a few weeks yet?
We can't spend much money so all in all We are in trouble even after only 2 games!



12 Aug 2017 17:36:16
This where I got on last season.
The patient is in critical need of attention before the body Finally gives way.
Before all the positive posters jump up and down, let's get real.
Currently there are no pointers to us being in the top 6 by the end of the season.
Of that,
I AM POSITIVE.



{Ed033's Note - I AM GROOT

12 Aug 2017 15:28:34
How come you have to pay now, for audio commentary, for Villa games .



12 Aug 2017 12:30:41
my prediction for todays result Cardiff 1 vs 2 Villa, good away win for us.



12 Aug 2017 12:40:29
Hoping for a win but I can see a 0-0.



12 Aug 2017 13:07:11
Hoping for the win today, but its going to be a tough game, warnocks team will be well up for it at home. just hope we aquit ourselves well. COME ON YOU VILLA!



12 Aug 2017 12:28:10
I'm going for 2-1 win for us today. Hogan with a brace.
