Massive game saturday

[TrianonDave]

How many times have we said that? Massive for no, it's only Norwich and really this used to be a 3pt banker unfortunately Norwich are probably looking at this as a banker instead as we look like a ship without a captain and in disarray once again prime for an easy kill.
It's a massive game for Bruce though! Look I actually respect the guy for what he has done in the game and thought he would make a difference but even if you go back to the 7 game unbeaten run he had when he joined how much of that was down to Luck?
I really cannot think anymore without getting a migrane as to what is wrong down VP!!

Everything now seems to be in place so why are we performing as if Lambert was in charge? We have not moved forward one bit, I want our players to be fired up and angry smash Norwich for six but I cannot help seeing another disaster. A picture of Bruce with his potato in his hands and villa fans leaving VP in disgust. Hopefully and I don't care for Bruce's sake we get a Lucky1-0 win.
Gabby? Bruce? Owner? Us the fans?

Just what is going wrong? I will be there and will hopefully cheer I never boo. As you know I moan a lot but at 52 I still live in hope of my beloved club being up there and proud to say I Am A Villa Fan.

Me too. Loads of respect to Bruce. He has got a lot out of a little in his career, but Villa is another animal. Players come here like top European players go to the United States for one last pay check. I was hoping Terry would be different but so far no inspiration from the captain.

Mate that's really disappointing to read in regards to Terry. Thought he may have been the spark and always good for a handful of goals too. Are you watching the games online ?

Have to agree with everything you've said here TD. It is indeed baffling why things aren't going better. As you say, everything looks like it's in place.

We keep getting linked with different players but to be quite honest I'm fed up with new arrivals. I just want SB and his team to get the best out of the players we already have. It should be enough.

. No. I saw part of the Reading game but that's it. I'm more talking about off the field. The press have been following everything he does. They follow him to Chelsea where he lifts them before the season ( didn't work) but when we lose at Cardiff then Reading not a squeak.

Massive game Saturday - for SB definitely, perhaps less so for AVFC.

No doubt we are missing the influence of the Jedi, and the confidence of JK, but we simply cannot throw all our eggs into the one basket. Either Bruce has lost the dressing room or the group cannot apply whatever it is he is asking them to do, maybe both - only hearing positive comments about O'Hare & Green.

[stateside]

Green would be great if he could finish.....or in the little I saw of the Reading game cross.

[westcountryvillain]

Green will get his first goal soon and that will be the start of great things for him I reckon

[stateside]

Hope so. He has been unlucky but crap, when are we gonna get some player that can score within his first 5 games for the club?

Green needs to be protected not over exposed or we will kill his confidence! he at the minute should be only playing in the league cup and coming on with 30 mins to go maybe.

I have now resigned myself to the fact one of the top goal scorers in this league will be leaving and leaving us with Gabby and Bambi (Hogan) up front, they cannot score or stay fit. Just put down the ego and play MacCormack just behind Gabby with Elmo on the wing. He has not done enough in pre season so he won't be considered, like he was given a chance?

I just hope that tonight Bruce does not sleep well through thinking of that formation and tactics, maybe instead of coming out all guns blazing for 30 mins and then switching off, how about cooly without panic, stifle anything Norwich can throw at us, gain some confidence play passion football and bring our forwards into the game. A goal either side of the break then shut up shop. Take off a forward bring on Samba to shore up the defence collect the 3 pts and build on it, by that I mean pick the same team!

Big game, I'm trying not to think it is, well for me that is!!!
