Aston Villa players don't have a pattern of play because the manager doesn't have an idea how he wants to play. It is as if he's playing football manager and losing so he's just trying any formation out.

I must say these players he has bought are very good but his Tactics look old and dated and the players look like they don't know where to be! Steve Bruce is definitely put a split between the fans so far but is it all his fault?

I am sorry but Dr. Tony's lack of footballing knowledge is costing us you can't just throw money at it and expect results. I love his enthusiasm but his lack of knowledge is costing us. I see Ross McCormack scored Forest they can't believe they have a 12 million pound striker free till end of season.

I know its going to take time to gel but you look at other managers they have a philosophy and a way of playing can anybody tell me Steve Bruce's philosophy?

I hope that Bruce can see if we lose the next 2 games we are seriously relegated material.

And I have to say I think we will lose both games against Barnsley and Newcastle
I did not want Bruce from the start but was happy enough to give him a chance,
But if we stay up I can't see us coming up under him next year.

He is very defense minded and with no tactical knowledge how to change a game,
He plays players out of position and still does not know his best formation,
I really fear for us over the next 2 games.

Batten down the hatches lads it's going to be a very bumpy ride to end of season.

I agree i don't want to keep coming on here moaning but its hard to stay positive when we keep losing. If i seen signs of improvement i would say yes let's just get through this bad patch but the guy has no idea what formation he wants to play or style so how can he expect his players to know if he dont? Huddersfield wagner he has a philosophy all his players buy into it could name loads of managers. Steve Bruce is a lovely bloke just not the right man for a our Football Club. I would like to get a manager in with a philosophy.

With Bruce saying 3 5 2 isn't the answer me personally would go back to basics and play a 4 4 2 formation stability is needed and quickly so my team would be
Johnston
Bree Chester Baker Taylor
Adomah Jedinak Hourliane Amavi
Kodja Hogan.

4-5-1 would put kodja up for few games have lansbury sat behind hogan or 3 cms with adomah and amavi attacking wings and hogan up top. try that for a game or two.

Created so many chances and looked a little more like a team. We do need to finish the season well and take that into pre season playing as a unit and with confidence. All of the ingredients are there I believe. Main worry were signs of dissent on the pitch and from the dugout. SB going mental at Kodja on more than one occasion presumably about his work rate and poor distribution particularly to Hogan. He ain't number one King ding a ling now Hogan is there. If he gets it into his head we could have a partnership like Atkinson and Saunders at VP.
