Villa 2 vs 1 Cardiff.
08 Apr 2018 23:11:25
villaman, I am waiting to see what team Bruce puts out before I have a stab at this one.
09 Apr 2018 10:28:47
After the poor performance on Saturday I am not very confident in how we are going to perform against Cardiff,
How many changes will Bruce make?
Will leave my predicting for another day I reckon!
08 Apr 2018 16:29:34
We need another 8 pts to be in the playoffs.
This makes the last game against Millwall very interesting if they have won the rest of their games our great fears may come to fruition. We will have to win at the new Den.
What more do we need?
08 Apr 2018 16:52:16
Its a real possibility Oldvillan, Mainbob pointed this out a few weeks ago.
I hope that game does not hold Villa`s fate.
08 Apr 2018 16:58:36
We could sail into the play offs easily,
But also with our present form we could end up outside the play offs
What will fans think if we play as well as we did against wolves and thrash Cardiff?
How many changes will Bruce make again to freshen it up as he says It?
08 Apr 2018 17:06:42
Don't underestimate how millwall have done this season.
They are the fly in the ointment I fear,
Going there last game needing points to stay in playoffs would seriously worry me,
So come on you villa boys show some bottle to keep us in playoffs.
08 Apr 2018 17:37:43
Hi Bob, should we get the points on Tuesday we will need 5 more points.
Looking further ahead is neither here or there.
8 pts from now see us guaranteed playoffs.
Should others drop points then that changes the needs.
Some posters on here just see blue skies, a bit like Chamberlain did in 1939. We ended up in a fight a few months later.
08 Apr 2018 15:35:07
We all have opinions on how we can get Aston Villa great again but let's not get personal with each other. It is what it is with Villa let's hope we can go up in the playoffs that would be great but if not there should be a inquest to why we havnt gone up. We have spent fortunes on agent fees and wages its not all just spending money on buying players Bruce done a interview and said if we don't go up we will lose players and even he accepts he might not be here. I belive we need a young vibrant team with pace and hunger that can unlock defences and a manager that is also the same calibre with fresh ideas. If Bruce gets us up then great if not then let's look at somebody who can get us up. UTV please let's respect everybodys view right or wrong.
08 Apr 2018 16:52:36
Wtw
Agree with your post 100%.
08 Apr 2018 14:52:48
Chris and Flackie you are at it again, stop rubbishing people`s views, you both get very personal at times, and sounds very distasteful.
Let people say their piece, without trashing what they are saying, if you don`t like it post your difference and have done with it.
You can say what you like about Bruce, he is undoubtedly a very nice man and good at/ with certain aspects of the game, but the fact remain he is very one dimensional, and that whichever way you look at it, is a fault in football management, good managers can change a game in more ways than one.
My thinking is, if we fail to go up this year, he should be relieved of his duties, and we should go for a manager who has an abundance of plans, can motivate, and plays the game as it should be played.
I agree with Oldvillan, Pluffy and Mainbob, we are not in the playoffs yet, there are several form teams around us that are looking very dangerous.
The way we are playing we are giving these teams confidence without us even kicking a bloody ball.
08 Apr 2018 15:16:22
It’s all good saying stop rubbishing views. These views have been pushed at us for over 3 years.
I’m bored of the same carp banged by the same people.
It’s relentless, boring, and the reason most posters have left this site.
08 Apr 2018 15:24:46
Here Here Villa Dave you talk so much sense nice to know there's still a few of us out there.
08 Apr 2018 15:55:41
Thanks for your reply Flacks.
I think if the truth be known mate, most people have left the site because its not fun anymore, by that I mean jocking, puns, rib digging etc.
I have said it many times, bring back the posters from way back, it was good banter.
You could have a little dig here and there, all said tongue in cheek.
There are many posters on here who I do not agree with, but I never call names or belittle anyone for their opinion.
Like it or not mate that's how I see it.
08 Apr 2018 15:56:07
I give up😂😂😂 have fun lads.
08 Apr 2018 20:30:55
Tthe recent views of mainbob, WTW oldvillian villadave. All practical passionate and relevant views most pointing to the shortcomings of the manager. If Bruce has the tactical nouse he would have shown this by now, as things are not improving things must change in order that we can get back to our rightful place. This is the message I have posted all season and I don't think things will change.
08 Apr 2018 22:54:37
You are amazing. you’ve been posting the same thing all season?! Lol
No, when we actually went on a run, looked like pushing the top two and getting some where, you where missing.
You love us losing, as you can say ‘ I told you so.! ‘
Boring boring boring
I don’t think you a blue nose, I just don’t think you are a football fan, just a glass half empty guy, who needs to pat him self on the back to congratulate him self.
But thanks for proving my point.
08 Apr 2018 23:06:10
Hopeful, I have been reading different articles tonight, and its all over the net how villa fans feel about Bruce.
Brentfords Dean Smiths is being mentioned a lot, not sure I would do anything just yet.
Bruce has to change his way of thinking and be more cavalier.
08 Apr 2018 14:49:24
Brucies main problem is, he's a steady Eddy . Goes for the tried and tested, is rarely prepared to concider change . Week after week, this is played out by his, subs bench . Creativly we have mainly, Albert, Snoddy &Jack . If as over the last few games any or all of these aren't on it we are in trouble . Brucie never has anything different on the bench, somebody who can perhaps change it up . When you have the Jedi, Weelen on the bench, surely room could be found for somebody like O Hare . He would offer, energy, always wants the ball and makes the space to receive it . The kid woul be ideal to bring off the bench, So come on Brucie give something different a go
Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.
08 Apr 2018 15:06:13
Spot on Dave.
08 Apr 2018 15:57:04
I always agree about ohare
Bruce clearly does not rate him as much as a lot of people,
Ok he is the manager and it's his choice at end of day,
But I feel he is holding him back,
Puts experience over emerging talent,
08 Apr 2018 09:29:31
Complacency is a major problem and we have it by the bucketful.
Do the players really believe that we are safe in the playoff position?
Don't expect anything from Tuesdays game, Cardiff are seething and
Warnock wants revenge at the cost of any team.
All of the teams below us are laughing there balls off realising that we have lost the plot. Paying prem wages for park players who seem to think that just turning up is enough. It may be for them but not us, the fans.
If we manage to hold onto a playoff place no team will fear us and if by a small miracle we do go up, who thinks we will stay there.
SB has to look at himself and this goes for the players.
Promotion is now looking very doubtful as someone must beat Fulham to get them out of the way, I can't see that being AVFC!
08 Apr 2018 10:05:02
Theoldvillian
Got a feeling it Could be Fulham in 2nd spot,
So it will be more than likely Cardiff in playoffs to face us!
Another mouth watering prospect If that turns out?
08 Apr 2018 10:53:30
I wish I had your confidence that we will make the playoffs.
08 Apr 2018 10:57:56
Get a grip man, Fulham were the form team last year and Reading got them out of there. All the teams below us are laughing at us, don’t talk wet they’d all sell their arse to swap with us and be in fourth, with ten points safety net in the play offs. Why is it there’s always childish immature overreactions after a bad result, the way your talking we may aswell call it a day now from your point of view. Pull the other one man.
08 Apr 2018 11:38:04
Everyone to there opinions mate,
Teams below us will not fear playing villa on our present form
I want villa in prem this year,
If that's not the case we need another change of manager in my opinion
As for the Childest immature overreactions comment what's all that about?
08 Apr 2018 12:00:09
Hi Chris not so long ago we were looking to go 10 points clear of Fulham, where are they now.
Derby if they win game in hand will be 2 points behind us and we have to play them as well as Cardiff.
Milwall on an amazing run are 8 points behind us and who do we play on last day? Yes Milwall at the den.
I didn't say call it a day but I am just looking at current form and it don't look good.
08 Apr 2018 12:22:13
So mainbob your saying it’s in our best interests if we want to get to the prem this year, to change manager now?
08 Apr 2018 12:23:45
Yea Millwall are fantastic aren’t they, excellent this season, 8 points behind us👍.
08 Apr 2018 12:33:24
Chris
I said to keep the manager till end of season then if we don't go up get rid then, k.
08 Apr 2018 12:36:39
Millwall were in div 1 last year.
Shows what a great job there manager is doing,
They were my dark horses to win play offs and there form at the moment shows that they will be a threat,
6.
08 Apr 2018 12:51:43
Hi Chris I give up.
Yes Milwall are crap, Middlesboro crap, Derby crap and Villa on an amazing run.
08 Apr 2018 13:15:15
To be honest wolves are far away the best side in championship and deserve to be champions,
Anybody can beat anybody on any given day,
That's why it's so hard to get out,
08 Apr 2018 13:16:48
For all the love affair with every team below us you’d think as we’re above them you would be happy. I could understand if it was Fulham or Cardiff your talking about but all you hear is ooo Millwall are doing so well, look st Middlesbrough they’ll be laughing at us.
08 Apr 2018 14:04:57
If you are happy with how villa are doing that's your opinion,
I'm not,
We should be doing a lot better with the money spent,
Millwall have done it with hardly any money,
Lot of our performances are down to bad management and the same excuses after games,
08 Apr 2018 07:57:50
I watched the Cardiff v wolves game and seen a blood and thunder battle with the result which really pleased me.
I then was so excited to see us play Norwich who are mid table with nothing to play for,
So when I saw the first half you could think we were on the beach having a little kick about!
Passing the ball so slow with no idea how to create a chance then we concede to a great strike and then I was waiting for a half time response from Bruce to get into these players to get us back on track,
But the second half nothing changed and the 2nd goal we concede is laughable to say the least,
We have 2 terrible full backs who need replacing pronto
Where is this team who murdered the wolves few weeks ago?
These type of performances are becoming the norm now and is very disturbing to see,
Yes we are still in playoffs place but are we good enough on present form to win It?
Answer on a postcard!
No team will fear us and will more than likely prefer to play us if I'm honest,
I question the players plus the manager and coaches for our dismal drop in form,
There is still a possibility we fail to get into playoffs if we still dropping needless points,
We have a strong squad on paper but not on pitch,
This post is longer than expected from me so I will leave it to you to digest.
08 Apr 2018 09:26:40
It all balls down to the manager before neil warnock Cardiff was fighting relegation he comes in with a style an a plan everybody belives in and guess what there now 2nd. Wolves was a mid table team espiritu Santo comes in playing flowing passing game guess what top of the league. They havnt spent what we have if results are poor it is the managers fault 9times out of 10. Bruce doesn't have a style of play they just kick it about usually involving a big hoof. Question is do you enjoy this style Mainbob? Do you think his the man to take us forward? His interviews after are all the same he can't motivate them. Ask warnock how big his budget was has he got big names no sheer hard work and a plan. I go to all the games an the mood was not good yesterday for Bruce.
08 Apr 2018 09:58:07
Wtw
As you know I'm not a Bruce fan but I did say give him this season and if we don't go up he should go,
I don't like his style of football or for not using the young players in squad,
He likes the experienced players more often than not,
But the attitude of the players is not of wanting to bust a gut to get promoted
Wolves game we were brilliant but it's not enough for just the odd game,
I will see how it pans out but at the moment I'm not very happy with how we are performing,
To many performances have been like yesterday and it's not good enough,
But I'm still behind the team to get us through this bad run
Up the villa!
08 Apr 2018 10:30:12
That same Warnock who told players to break the opponents leg?
Who refuses to shake the opposite managers hand?
Who slags off other teams fans, and openly admits he isn’t good enough out of the championship?
Possibly the worse sports man this great country has created.
I would hate to have that sort of guy at the helm. He is a man who gets results, granted, but to get the result at the cost of the teams soul? Not for me.
Bleat on all you want at how great he is, how you’ve always said Bruce is siht, and Warnock is the son of god.
Personally I think you are blinkered by ineptitude, and have no football intelligence.
So not only is your point mute, it’s amounts to about as much sense as taking business advice from a two year old. Pointless.
For you football is about beer, pumping your chest and saying how great YOU are for going to every match., yet you learn nothing, know little, and preach like you are holy.
Take the best advice I was given, years ago when I thought I knew everything, close your mouth, open your eyes, and clear your ears.
We all wanted promotion in the automatics, and would swap places with wolves and or Cardiff, but we aren’t. We are in the playoffs. It’s now a lottery.
We need to approach every match as if it’s our last, a cup final as people say.
And your advice is sack the man who got us this far? The guy who has turned the club around, and stopped the rot?!
You seriously think swapping him now would be a clever thing?
Is what we are seeing at the moment good enough? No
Are we good enough? On this form, no!
Can we turn it around? Yes
Get on board or don’t, I couldn’t give a siht, as to be honest, you are irrelevant, but stop preaching, moaning and trying to sound clever, as you are neither.
Or, throw your toys out, say you are leaving, change your name again, and start the whole process another time, like the last few seasons. Yawn yawn yawn.
08 Apr 2018 11:10:28
These results are becoming the norm now? We’ve lost 10 games all season, last year we lost 16, the year before 27, so yea mate your right, it all boils down to one man, Steve Bruce who has turned us around from being the laughing stock of country, to premier league contenders. Have some respect, stop thinking we have the best team in the league (WE don't BY A LONG WAY), stop thinking we have a god given right to win every game and walk back to the premier league. No matter which way you try to spin it Bruce has turned us away from tumbling straight into league 1, and has took us to the brink of the premier league, all games like yesterday show me is we need investment if we do go up. Everyone’s quick to blame Bruce but what about the full backs who got individually shown up and cost us more than once, what about the two centre halves who got ran straight through for one of the goals and what about the striker who tried to kick a ball 6 foot in the air about 3 yards out of an empty net instead of heading it when jack played a lovely ball at 2-1, or what about the constant bad decisions they made? Poor fouls to give away, sideways passing, misplaced passing and shooting from ridiculous positions when we are chasing a game.
08 Apr 2018 12:30:58
Flackie I have never heard so much rubbish from one man in my life. anybody could have got villa in the playoffs who has half a brain cell we have had the biggest budget in the league and let's not forget how rubbish is League is as well. we was not like Sunderland. Sunderland are broke we are loaded we didn't need saving we had a new owner and the complete new team. How come teams who have had less money than us and a new manager and are by far a smaller Club are higher than us? Our football is awful to watch.
08 Apr 2018 13:13:28
Hi Flackie
With all the vitriol spouted at WTW are you not sounding very much like the nice Mr Warnock?
08 Apr 2018 13:22:56
Flackie
If Warnock became villa boss I would not go down to watch them,
I despise the bloke with a passion,
I know he has a great promotion record but his methods in getting results is disgraceful,
Nasty piece of work.
08 Apr 2018 13:25:07
Biggest budget spent on players like tshibola and McCormack. Let’s look at how much the players who have played most the games this season have actually cost us:
Johnstone - nothing
Hutton - already here
Terry - nothing
Chester - 5mil
Elmo - 3 mil
Adomah - swapped with adama
Hourihane - 2 mil
Whelan - 1 mil
Snodgrass - nothing
Grealish - nothing
Hogan - 12 mil
So that’s 23million without loan fees, so call it 25. This whole we have the biggest budget so we therefore have the best squad is so stupid it’s unbelievable, Tshibola, McCormack, Gollini, Elphic and De Laet account for mor than half the money we have spent since being relegated and non of them are playing for us anymore. But hey ho don’t let facts ruin your story lines.
08 Apr 2018 14:06:06
Just because Bruce didn't buy with money doesn't mean he hasn't spent John Terry deal was about 12 million with wages agent fees and a huge signing on or did u think he worked for free and didn't require a signing on fee same goes for whelen and elmo and many others Villas wages are stupid for the championship mate.
08 Apr 2018 14:21:03
Hi pluffy, if that is the case, I will do the one thing the great mr Warnock won’t do, and apologise for my opinion.
However. I stand by my comments, feel over the last three/ four seasons of the siht posted by WTW, or who ever he is posting as today, there is always one straw that breaks the camels back.
