Just come back from Shrewsbury I'm not reading too much into it. We won two friendlys before this if we are going to have an off day I would rather it be against Shrewsbury. One thing I will say we lack creativity yes we can play the ball sideways and backwards but we are not going anywhere with it. But let's not panic too much.

I agree, no need to panic, I was there as well, 1st half it was a training session and we looked solid, the back four were good and terry looks a good fit with Chester, I think we need a striker who can hold the ball up front, McCormack s not the answer, 2nd half Micah Richards was awful, Gardner, Lansbury and amavi looked good, gabby had a ho as well but he is just a last 20 mins impact player at best now, against Walsall Tuesday, Bruce needs to pick his best 11 or he is asking for trouble with the moaners.

I agree the results mean Jack rubbish but by now I expect to see a plan by now,
No different to last year slow predictable with no idea,
I put this down at Bruce's door,
He is behind the times and 15 games in I would get rid if we are not in and around top 2,
Are we going to put all the weight on kodei to score our goals again?
I like Hogan he works his socks off and his movement is good but where's the service?
Lansbury and hooligan are playing to deep not like when they played for there other clubs.
This is down to Bruce and his backroom staff,
Keep it tight and hit on break then we defend like mad if we score!
This is how Bruce likes to play,
Off course this is only my opinion and other fans will bet to dither.

Yawn yawn yawn.
When it's as easy as that, I can't believe your not a football manager.
It was a pre season friendly. to try for fitness, to experiment, to see where players are at, it's not just about winning, it's about gaining experience, putting players under pressure.
Sometimes a loss teaches you more, how players react, where their mind are at.
Put in perspective, and see who was on, or rather not on the field when we conceded. Who was in what position, etc etc.
To call for any managers head pre season is frankly embarrassing. To use a loss pre season to bring back an old argument on how you think about him is laughable.
Moan moan moan, slag slag slag. yawn yawn yawn.

What I'm saying is from the time Bruce came to us have we seen any improvement!
My answer is a resounding no.
You could play the tape what he says after most games and it's identical,
He is in my humble opinion a dinosaur in footballing terms,
But as I have said I will support him but next 15 games will either convince me he is toast or at the top table,
We will see!

If villa had created chances and missed them all I would not be so critical of the team,
There goalie will not have a easier afternoon,
There simply is no creation or plan seen by myself,
If most of you still are happy enough with what's on offer on pitch morecfool you all.
I expect this squad to win this championship and it's down to the management to do there jobs to get us there,
If not get some other management team who can
It's a results business for them,
I don't want to stay in this division any longer we deserve better after what we have gone through over the years,
So I am asking Bruce and co to get this team playing on the front foot with pace and 10 yrds further up the pitch.
