‘And now you're gonna believe us’

[freer]

Now you're gonna believe us and now you're gonna believe us, we're there or thereabouts.�

I hate to p1ss on your parade Steve but “thereabouts� just isn’t good enough….. for “Thereabouts� read fail

Yesterday evening we witnessed another graphic illustration of Bruce’s inadequacy, an inept, unmotivated, tactically naive performance i.e. Trade Mark **Bruce presentation

1 win in 9 dictates Bruce has to go, he's lost the backing of our amazing away support which has seen him make the extremely foolish choice to turn on those fans,



Is he a case of dead man walking ?

[TrianonDave]

15th..............ssys it all really we willbe relegated or there or there abouts! Even thst lot from down the road are only 1 place behind us not mention bog rolls top.

We need a change before the season is dead, whats holding them up from sacking him.
Get Warnock in?

[westcountryvillain]

Di Matteo was sacked after 1 win in 13 and Bruce is heading the same way - fast! It now seems inevitable but better sooner than later, if we are to have any chance of challenging for promotion we will need to win a high percentage of the remaining games. Under SB that looks highly unlikely and he's beginning to look arrogant with his persistent approach of players playing out of position.

Warnock - no thanks!

This caught my eye

"One win in the last eight, more managerial ructions, more excuses – meh, we started the game with no wingers and ended the match with no strikers, we’re well past round pegs in square holes



I think we’re now trialling triangles"

[samhubball]

Isn't Bruce on a rolling contract that is up in October? Maybe they are waiting til Monday before they get rid and save compo?

I'm in the out brigade now by the way

[dazzyowen]

I’m seriously heading towards the out brigade too and only a win tomorrow will halt that !

The thing is folks, how many times should a manager be given time to ‘turn it around’? A couple of ‘turn it arounds’ in his first season, 2 or 3 times last season before orchestrating a shambollic P/O final performance, and now this season. Time and time again.
If we win the next 2 games we MAY be in the play off positions. Had we beaten this years bottom 7 we would be TOP and the place would be buzzing going into the tough run of upcoming fixtures.
Remember, he has brought in over 20 players and yet only starts 5 maybe 6 of em. His only guaranteed starters are players who were already here:
Hutton
Chester
Jack
Jedi
Kodjia
With the players available, we should not have been playing catch up for 2 YEARS!
Would your boss be so forgiving if your performances and mistakes put her/his company at a financial risk 6 times over 2 years?

[samhubball]

No he wouldn't exiled. I was sacked after I crashed a lorry. It wasn't my fault. The other Driver came out of nowhere.


The fact I was a barman had little to do with it.

[freer]

He’s offended the fan base and we’re fed up with his ludicrous alibi’s Ã* la

*‘There or thereabouts’

*The side ‘gelling’

*Perhaps if he’d have had the Cojones to attack Fulham in the play-off final folk might be more sympathetic to your bleating about losing 5/6 key players over the summer ?

*His much lauded four promotions .who gives a flying++++ about Hull, Blues... et cetera ?

We’re well past all of these, THIS IS NOW !

As for Bruce’s pièce de résistance his claim that the game against Brentford was one of the best games he’s seen Villa play in years. Jesus H Christ we drew 2-2! Is such mediocrity now considered satisfactory ?

Sorry but 2 seasons of treading water just isn't acceptable

Who actually believes we can afford a 3rdseason of Bruce ?

Who wants another large dollop of his uber guarded, tedious, negative, over cautious hum drum approach ?

It’s time for change !

Prior to falling foul of the Steve Bruce ‘Misapplication Strategy’ Henri Lansbury, James Bree, Birkir Bjarnason, and Scott Hogan were prized assets

Now Conor Hourihan is looking increasing likely @ being registered onto Bruce’s scatterbrain scheme

Last term, Bruce managed to sway Dr X sanction into signing Robert Snodgrass and John Terry on exorbitant salaries

These expensive recruits proved ineffectual & we ended with no payback as Villa lost a painful play-off final to Fulham

That game summed up Steve Bruce’s tenure, his slow and negative approach -he stupidly gambled on containing Fulham - praying to nick something on the break from the Londoners. No end product

Rinse & Repeat ?
