Mate I know it's easy to get wound up and over exaggerate a bit after a game like that after you've made the trip but can you name these 5 games? I've got it down as he's cost us 3 and kept us in 2, cost us vs Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield and can't remember the other the one last minute where he didn't get to the corner an flapped at it! But against Newcastle he was outstanding and against Derby he kept us in it! His a young lad and obviously going to make mistakes which is what we don't want now but I really do think he'll be a top top keeper! Yesterday however he really should of just cleaned that Rolfe out, take him and the ball, don't know how he ended up misjudging it that bad to be honest but in his defence adomah should have stopped the ball coming in and elphic should have tracked his man! Deserved a draw up until extra time yesterday but hey ho we knew there would be loses along the way! Bounce back against Wigan and we've got 5 games before new year, honestly think we should be getting 10-12 points from them! Slowly slowly, keep creeping the way we have been!

ok i agree maybe not 5 but 4 games now surely if you want to go up you can't have a gk costing you games every few weeks. Bruce has been fantasic in making us better defencely but he is a awful gk at the mo maybe in years to come he might be great but at the mo he isn't the right gk for us. Leeds was crap yesturday bruce got team selection wrong and if the gk does his job stays at 0.0 they only got the 2nd because we pushed.

I do agree we need consistency in goal but he has been that since his early game, if he makes another in the coming weeks then I will agree, and maybe we should look to bring in a keeper to help push each other for the position because at the minute he's got to compete with the cardboard cut out that is Mark Bunn, so maybe he's too comfortable? And as for team selection I think Bruce over estimated Leeds because of their league position, and played 3 defensive mids, instead of sticking to 2 and grealish, had he of done that I think we could of took it to them and got something! Hey ho, let's take Wigan to the cleaners, get kodja through the middle, grealish behind him, keep the ball on the deck and do what suits us!

Our goalkeeper is not good enough, yet. Our midfield is not good enough and hasn't been for several years.
We need to sign a quality goalie, a replacement for Hutton and TWO top quality midfielders. In January. IMO it's as obvious as the nose on your face.

What about the defence? Without baker we look weak, elphic was just as at fault at Gollini for their goal.



04 Dec 2016 11:47:14
Well in an ideal world yes, we could replace Elphick . But the world isn't ideal. If it was we could offload Gabby, Kozac, Gestede, Bunn, Bacuna, Cissokho and more.
I just think that Gollini, Hutton Gardener and Westwood are the four we should replace at this point in time. Just my opinion Chris.

Weren't having a pop mate just thought you'd over looked elphic aswell, I agree with what you've said! I'd just throw him in aswell because it's worrying that after baker we've got no one really. Although Toner comes back after Jan and I did like the look of him so he could fit in! Would love to see a new CB RB CM and ST (providing we get rid of kozak) after Jan!



04 Dec 2016 12:02:31
I think bruce was scared of leeds which is stupid really because we don't have to be defensive We are a good side why not take the game to teams i think bruce was not confident if he picked the same side that won against cardiff we would of won what's he scared of grelish an ayew an kodjia even gabby are miles better than the championship! We are Aston Villa for god sake! We will murder wigan.



04 Dec 2016 12:06:52
I do agree mate, should of kept the same team and started on the front foot!



04 Dec 2016 18:09:51
I agree Mr SKIA, apart from the Gabby bit. IMO he's finished and I really don't understand why he's chosen ahead of RHM.
I actually begrudge paying my hard earned cash to line his pockets. I've never felt that way about a Villa player before.
Or maybe it's just me getting old and grumpy.

Rhm is injured at the minute so that is why I used gabby agbonlahor he is trying but he isn't good enough. Facts are in the summer as usual we blew a load of cash on players who just can't cut it. golini fail. Ross McCormack fail. elphick fail. tishbola fail. All the talk about getting the right players in and we go an blow 50 mill on players that have just not worked out. Hopfully bruce can out this right because we will never get our cash back for these players. In my view if you spend 50 million you should have a good team that is either 1st or 2nd but we are know where near that. 50 million is a lot in this league most of them would dream of that budget. So let me get this straight having listened to your views we need a gk a cbk and a new midfield and maybe a striker as the ones we got don't really score apart from kodjia. People shot me down in the summer mate when i said these players weren't good enough now where are they i was right in what i said because most want to buy more players because these guys can't cut it!

Sorry mate but too early to completely call Gollini Tshibola and McCormack fails, Tshibola hasn't even played properly yet under Bruce! And if McCormack shows the form we know he can during AFCON how can he be a fail? We can't turn on the team now fgs we have lost 1 in 8, and it wasn't like we rolled over like last year! Just remember we know what this team can do we have seen it! So let's get behind them and smash Wigan and keep on climbing!
