    Bruce is a dead man walking.

    Already 2 down and playing catch up 2 games in and 5 points adrift!

    Sorry but the 'old man' plan is back firing already, so pi55ed off i'm going to shut my self down for 24 hours before I get banned!!

    The real question is, who would do any better? It's second game in. We can't keep doing the manager merry-go-round.

    Bruce stated he’s looking to sign 2 more players before the transfer window closes

    Unless Dr Xia can persuade Lionel Messi & Neymar Jr to commit to A V F C this is going to be painful lesson for our owner

    Well were now 3-0 down & I fear this deficit is likely to increase Cardiff are running us ragged they have had 12 shots on target

    We've managed a predictable/habitual 1 on target, its another unwelcome reminder this style & system under Bruce is to say the least primitive- & it needs be consigned to the bin

    Unless we have the biggest comeback since I was sick out of a train window its another lesson & another game in which we failed to contest

    I originally imagined October might see our owner getting an itchy trigger finger

    On such performances I think that time scale might be somewhat optimistic

    That's the problem Daz. Every team we face tweaks something at half time and Potato head hasn't a clue. It's one thing having no talent Neanderthals that will just tear through walls for you like Geoff Horsefield, but then you come to Villa and buy slightly better talent but they aren't going to react to that. They want to play, but Bruce has no clue how.

    Nobody thought Bruce was anything but a steady the ship after RDM so why is he still here? He simply cannot build attacking sides, hopeless at transfers and subs, and as said an embarrassment at HT. Dr Tony - why not look for a Wagner, Quique, Silva etc in the Euro leagues rather than British dinosaurs.

    Bruce must take responsibility of course as Villa have better players than Cardiff, but then Liverpool have better players than Watford and Chelsea have better players than Burnley. That's why we love footy. On to the next.......

    Agree to a certain degree Picasso. SB continues to pick Gabby n Hutton= one short up front and a liability down the right flank. How many years has Gabby bi sh1t? Alan (Mr Bean) Hutton has always been sh1t, but hey, he has passion, he runs through brick walls for the club (hereby missing the ball) and he looks hard with his coloured arms.

    So we have a serious achilles heal in defence and a crying shame of a disgrace as a player/ambassador up front. Add to that we have a manager (who may be a likeable bloke), who INSISTS on picking them both, and plays a system that bypasses midfield, yet buys shed loads of midfielders!!!!

    AAHHH, I'm so disappointed.

    I should of listened to 'Lefty' years ago, when he said never post until 36 hours after a match, let the head cool first, win lose or draw.

    I will from now on!!
