I wonder if the Cardiff fans are calling for Warnocks head? Just saying like 😚😚.

I’ll be honest. if I was a Cardiff fan, and we managed to be 20 points clear, I’d be calling for that argumentative picrks head.
Just saying like.

Lol Flacks he's got one of those faces that you would wanna wipe your arris with.
30 Dec 2017 13:58:32
I often wonder if he is a member of this forum, but keeps changing his name.
30 Dec 2017 16:43:18
My lips are sealed Flacks.

Middlesbrough seem to be a lot like us, beat the teams below them but lose to the teams around them, they've lost to;
Wolves, Cardiff, Norwich, Leeds, Derby, Bristol - along with a few teams int he bottom half. Tomorrow we have to get at them, forget the new manager, forget that we're away and their above us, we need to go for the win, get on the front foot, ask them every question we've got and go for it all or nothing. Forget Draws away from home are a good result or these points here and there add up, we need a win. We have the squad, we have the options, let's go and get it for once. Time to turn this around, starting with a win, hope the players turn up with some self respect and some self confidence, stop moping around looking at the floor feeling sorry for themselves, your here for a reason, stand up and be counted, have a bit of confidence, better yet a tiny bit of arrogance. I'd take any win but one that shows quality and dominance will really turn this run around. Come on you villa boys!

Perfectly put Chris.
There players going be nervous aswell playing under a new manager and not wanting make a mistake. Let's get inot them. Big challenges and have a shot from distance. Worse thing being a keeper is having a long range shot in first 10 mins.

Listen I get what everyone is saying about Bruce and the style of play after all we do pay our hard earned cash on watching them some more than most WTW no offence intended to anyone on that statement but do you honestly think hand on heart that changing a let's say lesser experienced manager who's win ratio is below 40% with Bruce who has the know how on how to get teams promoted?
Again I will say he has made mistakes but if you don't try you don't know do you? Mainbob bangs on about Ohare yes I would give him a chance but come on does anyone on here go to BH day in day out and train with the squad to find out what's going on I doubt it very very much it's not just Bruce that makes these decisions but also his training team. Injuries have been our downfall and we are still in the hunt for automatic promotion come January when we get a much needed striker Centre half right midfielder I think we will be OK.
We all know what we have been like for 5 years but too try and turn it around in just 2 is not only hard but almost impossible just look at leeds Blackburn Forest just to name a few they have chopped and changed and they are no better off are they? All at the club have said we need stability and by God that is what they are trying to do we all want success but success comes at a price and if that means playing dire football then so be it I would take dire football so we can get out of this league then hopefully we can build on that and then I would get rid of Bruce he's done his job I've said it before I'm not a Bruce fan but I will back him.
Before all these injuries we was going quite nicely even WTW was turning not one person here was moaning until we lose a couple of games then the stone gets unturned and most turn again it's like being at work if 2 and 3 of your workmates phone in sick does that make your job that little bit harder? So yes I will back Bruce to turn this around when our workers come back watch the benefits that come with this #INBRUCEITRUSTALMOST.

Careful Mainbob has seen the u23’s play more times than you’ve had hot dinners. I’m starting to think he’s the surrogate father of half the youth team the way he rates them.
30 Dec 2017 08:23:23
Chris
Hold your horses matey,
I said 5 players in the under we 23s need to be looked at,
So what's your beef!
Is it so wrong to see a team playing good footie with the kids than to suffer garbage with the first team,
I have grandkids who are playing with the baggies and wolves both 9 yrs old,
So yes I do take real notice of how our kids are progressing but you seem to take it as a joke!
30 Dec 2017 09:42:50
Just banter mate, calm down I don’t really think your the surrogate father to them all. Maybe just O’Hares legitimate father, he seems to be your pride and joy.
30 Dec 2017 10:35:09
O'hare is My wonder child!
29 Dec 2017 15:04:48
Last 5 games villa are third bottom on form
Only Barnsley and blue noses are below us,
29 Dec 2017 16:00:30
Mainbob, sadly I don't think change will immediately be forthcoming, I can see our season following similar patterns in terms of lack of quality and ideas similar to the last five years. The consequence, we will drop down the league. We don't appear to have any choice other than grin and bare it or give up, something that is not in Villa fans culture, so grin and bare it it is, happy days!

If Bruce does get the tin tac and we go down the foreign route then 2 names jump out.
Marcelo Gallardo
Michael Laudrup
Checked both managerial careers on Wikipedia, very impressive with both liking to play attacking free flowing football.
29 Dec 2017 15:02:18
Said Gallardo when everyone was talking about the sack after our poor start, he looks the business.
29 Dec 2017 15:27:57
Those 2 names would suit me as well,
Most of the successful manager's are foreign,
At least with these 2 you would see good football,
My preference is gallardo,
29 Dec 2017 15:37:59
Both would be great. But be honest I be delighted with any.
Next 2 games to save his job or he gone.

Two great examples of long ball that ended up in the net. Not by a lower league side but MCFC and Gunners.
We fall down by not providing Hogan with balls he can run onto. If we just occasionally hit a long ball we could do something different.
Before posters point out that Sterling and Sanchez are world class players, we are not playing against world class defenders.
Bruce has to have a plan b, c, d, etc but we never see it.

Who ever else comes in, surly we need another left back . Taylor is up and down like a yo yo, decent game two bad ones . Hutton has looked good, when needed, but a proper LB is needed . Not at the moment a Brucie out fan, but he certainly has to come up with something different . As iv said before, he has to take a chance and start looking beyond his golden oldies . He has to get all the mistakes cut out, most of which seem to come from players being over stretched . Weelen you can't disagree, works hard, he just hasent got the legs when a bit of pace is needed. said before the kids a energy, plus they want to impress . With the stupid prices now being paid for players, even Prem sides have started giving youth a chance, Before I get shot down that these kids are Div 2, none of them have ever let us down, the odd chance they have had . If Brucie tried and it didn't work . the fans have no complaints . There again we are talking about Villa fans, Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.
