So what's everybodys team for Fulham? I would keep the same team.



19 Oct 2017 16:04:46
Whelan has to be dropped for me,
Lyndon would be my replacement or Jedi if fit,
Also think kodija needs a kick up backside
Would try Hogan with Davis up top,



19 Oct 2017 21:37:02
Lyndon has to start O'Hara to , the bench need to have some energy on it, what has Hogan ever done, thor should not get a look in.



20 Oct 2017 00:52:45
He's got to introduce some young blood or they'll walk and not for 5 minutes here and there.



20 Oct 2017 07:02:25
Kodjia is still trying to get fit mate so don't be to harsh. I think Whelens legs have gone but can't see him being dropped. Big game I think it will be 2-2.



20 Oct 2017 07:47:16
Would love to see o'hare who I rate very highly given a proper chance,
Also Hayes/ lydon/ and sulaman are all good young players but Bruce is not a young players type of manager,
He prefers the tried and trusted experienced players,
This is my gripe about Bruce as a manager,
I still will support him while he is our manager but this season is going up without a doubt,
I have seen more under23 games then the first team and I have been really impressed with the players I mentioned at start of post,
They play65t with more energy and style than the first team.
Kodjia is a player who plays for himself he is not a team player but having said that he is our best option for a goal,
Prediction for tomorrow 1-1 I'm afraid to say,
Would love a good win but Fulham are just coming into form now and will pose problems for us,

Young players are played when their good enough and the time is right, Bruce has showed this. Suliman is a centre back, who are you taking out, from terry or Chester to play him? Bruce played 6 or 7 youngsters in the early rounds of the cup. Davis has stepped up and gained a first team place. Green fought his way into the first team. O’hare Is on the same journey, minutes off the bench, impress, first start etc. It’s the same at every club over the country, the journey from youth player to first team. We see them for maximum 90minutes a week, the boss sees them for 5/ 6 hours a day, there is no one more qualified than him to pick them. When their ready they will play, why is it always a drama with us when it comes to youth players, everyone flapping “their going to leave if we don’t play them” “their not going to sign the new contract” “real Madrid are looking at him” “his agents touting him about”. Calm Down.

With sulaman he should be on bench in place of samba,
Bruce is useless with young players coming through,
When he talks about o'hare running nonstop in games plus he can see a pass why just use him for the odd few minutes?
Is Whelan our future?
Is Terry our future?
He got lucky with Davis as other strikers were injured at the time,
Otherwise would we have seen him up to Now!
I'm not wanting Bruce out at all but he seriously needs to look at other players in squad,
Saw the other week he had Richards on bench?
What has this bloke done for us over his time here,
The tempo we play is the slowest in championship,
Yet against Norwich that was the only time this season I have been impressed with team for tempo and desire,

Talk about twisting facts to suit your argument, Micah was on the bench against Middlesbrough in the cup yes, whilst half the youth team were starting the game. Rashford, Tom Davies, Calvert-Lewis really some of the most high profile youngsters who have broken into their respective first teams, all got their chance because of injuries, it’s how it happens. Is terry the future of this club, no his the present and if you haven’t noticed at present we aren’t where we want to be therefore you don’t use the players you think will be good for the future you use the best players you have at your disposal, Terry is the best centre half at the club. Let’s not change the subject to the tempo being “slow” and the Norwich game, what you’ve said is ridiculous and full of holes, if you have a problem with the way Bruce has done things regarding youth then you have a problem with the way 90% of clubs in this country do it.



20 Oct 2017 11:17:09
Am I not allowed my opinion with my club,
I have said before as you know I'm not a Bruce fan and the way his team's play but I said I will support him this season to get us up,
I don't like how we play the game if I'm honest,
All Bruce's teams point to that fact,
If other fans don't like my views that's no problem for me,
Just don't tell me I'm talking rubbish and your right in your opinion,
At end of day it's only friendly banter!



20 Oct 2017 12:02:47
Come on villa let's see some good old attacking football tomorrow and a resounding win hopefully.



20 Oct 2017 12:54:50
I understand your sentiments Bob but in all fairness it's a big step up from u23 to Championship mate. I think Davis needs a rest he looks tired go with Kodja and Hogan up front see if these two can get a understanding together drop Wheel and and get Jedinak in and get the youngsters on the bench ready to come on with the last 30 mins to go score pending of course but I do like O Hare.



20 Oct 2017 13:02:17
Eh? Just explain what your going on about, explain where your opinion comes from. All I’ve done is point out the facts that suggest your opinion, or what you’ve said in these previous comments is way off the mark. Don’t play the victim, no ones mentioned you not being allowed an opinion, I’ve just questioned it, and questioned it with facts. Now you keep changing what your saying into not liking Bruce but backing him and not liking the style of play, because the original points you made aren’t standing up.

No problem with your observations mate!



20 Oct 2017 13:25:40
Everybody knows I'm not a Bruce fan,
Did not want him but I support aston villa as my team
Early in season I wanted him out plain and simply,
But I had a change of heart and was giving him a chance to get up up in premiership.
I also said that If he got us up I want him gone for the premiership as he is not good enough tactical,
His style of play is well known,
If you don't like my comments fair enough,
No need to fall out over the game we both love,
You have your opinion I have mine!



20 Oct 2017 13:39:07
Chris?

You want me to explain where my opinions come from?
Please explain what you mean by that!



20 Oct 2017 14:06:12
Mate I think we should leave this here, something’s got very confused, I don’t disagree with your view on Bruce, backing the team regardless of manager or the style of play. Leave that there. What I don’t understand is the points you made about the youth players, and I questioned it with clear facts. That is all, since then it seems like you have moved the subject onto other things.

Chris

All I will say about the young players are simply that a few should be more involved not so much in the first 11 but on the bench,
O'hare for me is good enough for first team,
Hayes/ sulaman/ and lydon in my opinion are good enough for the bench,
I went to the Wigan game in the cup and was very impressed with most of the players,
I know it's a big step up for championship level but some are clearly going in the right direction,
O'hare for me is a better prospect than grealish,
I'm a great believer in youth getting a chance but for me Bruce is not the type of manager for this,
So we will leave it at that,



20 Oct 2017 15:28:44
I agree Bob, those young need a chance, they should be on the bench thor useless Hogan useless, samba to slow, and the jed to slow it will take 1/ 2 a season to get match fit.

He's got to introduce some young blood or they'll walk and not for 5 minutes here and there.



20 Oct 2017 08:47:36
I've been saying this for ages,
How long do these young players have to wait before getting a chance to prove themselves at a higher level,
I'm sure the spurs manager would have no qualms about putting some of these players in team.
Our first team are so slow in build up it's making the other teams job that much easier to play against,
So come on Bruce show some bottle and try a few of these players,
You have been heard praising the likes of o'hare and Hayes for there performances in under 23s so why not let them show you are right in there praises,



20 Oct 2017 15:19:30
Agree youth is the way forward we play so slow its like watching snails it was so easy for wolves we, they didn't get out of 2nd gear because we had no pace . If u have a crop of youngsters like we have any manager would play them look at fergie he had a crop and played them all oleary at leeds same with spurs manager and mark warbarton at forest to . for me bruce should take villa up then be replaced . i have seen loads of championship games its not as tough as every1 thinks u just need a manger who is clued up like benitez, houghton, wagner, or stam . if we played the right way we would steam roll this league . the best teams in this league are the 1s that play the game with free throwing football and that have plan a, b, c,
