I see nothings changed at all about villa this season it has been a mess i fear for us we are going to drift down the leagues if we are not carefull our signings have been poor apart from taylor we should be signing prem players not second rate players, our gk is not good enough huttons useless midfield weak apart jedinek no good wingers and one good striker .

that's not going to keep you in this league we should of got warnock he would of been perfect i'm not bruces biggest fan but villa is becoming like england impossiable to manage . we should of never let martin o'neil leave villa our fate was sealed then .

we have wasted millions on average players in the last 3 seasons its a joke. if we escape this season we will be very very lucky its going to come down to when we play burton rotherham blackburn n wigan we get wins against them we will be safe but wouldn't bank on it.

I agree with a lot of what you said but when you start mentioning Martin o'neil who brought zak knight and habi beye an marlon harewood you lost me he put them on huge wages so the club was introuble moneywise when you think back at the time beye was on more than defoe.

I agree we need prem players the ones bruce has brought so far havnt been great but its early yet. A lot of good prem players don't want to drop to our league mate i looked at the newcastle team a lot of that team was already there. I don't think we will go down its been a horrible season but 1 that we will learn from.

My issue with Bruce is his management has dipped a bit take the preston game 2-0 up when he 1st came he was time wasting men behind the ball his stop doing that preston made it 2-2 in the end Bruce form as dipped but if he gets back to form his a top manager but we need the steve bruce we had at the start not this 1 who looks lost. Keep the faith tho mate nobody said it will be easy this league that's why needs who go up stay up now because its a war to go up! Predicted finish 14th.

Agree with most of what you say. its been a little up an down the new players have, t settled yet. I believe they will and I think we will be safe. have a feeling we will end the season strong. if we do it will stand us in good stead for next season. Got to keep the faith mate.

You make some good points but as good as Martin O'Neill was at getting a tune out of a team on a Saturday afternoon I think some of the issues we are having now still stem from his time in charge. We bought average players under him and paid big wages to them. Sidwell, reo-Coker, Beye, Heskey and petrol were all on £50k a week plus and as much as we love Stan for his heart and fight he was still pretty average for a premier league team. He made some decent buys that we sold on at profit but when you look at a man that sells Gary Cahill for £5m so he can buy Curtis Davies for £6m + Luke Moore it's hard to say his transfers were successful. It's only my opinion but O'Neill spent all the money that Lerner had and he spent it on average players that won the same amount of silverware as mcleish and Lambert. Yes we played some decent football but he got us into Europe and then put the kids out so we were out. O''Neil cared about one thing and that was himself and that's why he could just up and leave because he didn't get his own way. I thank him for bringing the likes of Carew and Milner to our club and also bringing the best out of Gareth Barry but he was the start of our demise and I certainly don't think he was the messiah some said he was. and breathe lol.

No he was not the messiah he was a very naughty boy lol.
