I've been banging on for ages how negative Bruce is and he will cost us promotion.

Ask yourselves how good we would be with Dean Smith in charge?

After Wednesdays game, this was a big disappointment. we played so well, the last game, some of the best football in ages. Then today, we are back to struggling against a lower side . We need teams to attack us, we can't break them down if they just sit back .
If not for a couple of great saves, from Nyland, we could of been even more disappointed. On a brighter side, Birka was excellent once again . With McGinn He covered every blade of grass. The Jedi not the best CH, but you have to admit he doesn't miss anything in the air . The new lad was impressive, for his debut, Obviosly will get even better with matches . Kodgia once again, very frustrating.
So come on Brucie, get it together, find a plan B and let's start breaking these teams down . If you don't we will start dropping more points .
Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

What we need urgently is a fox in the box striker,
Kodia spends more time outside the box,
He wants to score spectacular goals,
The number of times crosses come in and there's nobody there,
Time for a stiff drink now after watching that performance.

Bob, been saying it for ever, we have nobody to pick up the empties. Kodjia is a show pony.
Bruce is as boring as a cabbage, my old Mom could do a better job.
If we don't get an out and out goal taker we will struggle.
Other teams have moved forward, we are static both on the pitch and in the league.
I can't see NSWE letting Bruce continue after mid season!

We are stuck with him unless there's a miracle an a prem teams comes in for him can't see it he's not a prem manager at all he's not the best championship manager the way people go on about him on here.

Disappointed, we really should be beating these teams especially at home, I know we may bring in further players before the window closes but even so we already have a team that should be good enough to win these matches. We have to get more clinical up front and put matches to bed when we dominate possession. On a good point we will get stronger, we still sit at the right end of the table and we remain un beaten. UTV.

We are still unbeaten yes. But also should have won at least 2 of the last 3 games. No excuses but the refs have been very poor as well for me. Was not a penalty today not in a million years. But can't kill games off. However still a better start than last year. Need a reliable goal scorer up front. For me if we can get Matt targett in at left back. And a striker we will be ok. Just have to drop the loan goalie as we can only have 5 loans in the line-up.

More dropped points, more appalling football and failure to convert chances, more poor substitutions to consolidate a slim lead - I honestly can't understand how some people on this site continue to defend Bruce!

Just look at the difference a brave an exciting appointment has made to Leeds, yet we are stuck with this dinosaur!

Looking forward to hearing the usual excuses paraded out again by Bruce and his supporters on this site.

Appalling, that's Reading, Brentford, and Ipswich we gave falied to beat now - The gap to promotion widens each week, how long do we give this man!

Agree mate sum people on here think Bruce is God, don't get it with the Bruce fans there blind an they don't realise he's taken villa bckwards, I've tried for 2yrs to get behind him but can't anymore.

25 Aug 2018 17:12:52
Our goalie saved us from being beaten,
The new kid played well.
Man of match again is mcginn
But kodjia back to his selfish best.
Did not get in penalty area enough,
The owners were there I wonder what they thought of it,
Reading are a very poor side just like Ipswich yet only 2 points from them games,

25 Aug 2018 17:18:20
Couldn't have asked for a better start, this man is a total fool - RB at RW, CB at RB, DMF at CB, RB at LB! , how is this las still employed at Villa?

25 Aug 2018 17:18:48
Hopefully they will see what most of see is that we need a change, all the bruce lovers need to wake up.

25 Aug 2018 17:25:03
How can people stick up for him what has he done at villa if we are honest, what has he built to improve on, what youngsters has he improved, no doubt some1 on here will say he'has the highest win percentage of any manager great, that doesn't mean ote he has failed it's time sum1 else gets a chance who can attack an put teams to bed with right tactics an subs.

What a kick in the balls that has been today. Gutted.

25 Aug 2018 16:51:51
Villa 1 vs 0 Reading.

Villaman
1-1 I'm sorry to say.

25 Aug 2018 12:35:31
Been looking at a lot of YouTube of him, can see El Ghazi as a No9

UTV.

25 Aug 2018 13:24:08
He looks a quality player,
We have no excuse now with the quality of squad,
I will be very disappointed if we don't get in top 2 now,
I would be a little more sure if we brought in a good C- Back.
Hope we don't regret not bringing in one,

25 Aug 2018 09:15:59
If this Abrahams is not happy about dropping into the championship and is clearly wanting to stay at Chelsea then I would suggest we move on to another target,
We must have other options I imagine,

25 Aug 2018 11:21:24
Agree bob I still think we should go for welbeck he'd be class.

25 Aug 2018 11:26:17
Lee gregory from Millwall isn't bad as well an Ben bereton.
