Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Didn't Di Matteo get WBA promoted with ease the last time we were in the champo? Wonder what's wrong this time, I'd say their team is better than WBA's was back then from what I recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The Villa fans seem to be under the impression that Steve Bruce will be their next manager. He's not bad at getting teams out of the Championship. Absolutely shite appointment in terms of the long term development of the club though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what's wrong this time, I'd say their team is better than WBA's was back then from what I recall. If you look at what they kept hold of though, instead of assessing the squad and offloading the mercs, they hung onto plenty of the heartless clowns. We got rid early doors most of our spineless wasters. Cissokho,Richards,Hutton,Bacuna,Ayew,Agbonlahor, most of these lads just picked up pay last season, assisted Villas relegation and are still on their books.

afar Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Bruce would be a good appointment for Villa in the short-term. I'm not so sure. His record has suggested with a good squad he'll achieve the minimum expected of a club, with a poor squad he's not been able to elevate them to anything beyond their level. Witness last season, Hull just barely got promotion through the playoffs, they had finished 3rd bottom the previous year, so they should have been the favourites to go straight back up. Not so sure Villa have even a good squad, right now, couple of good players but honestly it's pap. Politically the wrong choice with his Birmingham back ground, feel like he's washed up now bit like Mick McMakem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I agree that Villa don't have a very good squad. Forwards aside they are on par with most Championship teams. The thing is though the forwards who are arguably the best in the league are not on form and the team has no confidence. If the lack of confidence continues then they could be in trouble. I do expect them to have a better 2nd half of the season though and should finish strongly. String together a few wins in this league and anything is possible.

Guest Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Even their forwards are Championship level though. Each one, is someone who banged them in as a focal point in an average team. Have any of them been involved in a promotion chasing team before? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xia has already started looking at candidates, with former England manager Steve McClaren in the frame. Please be Steve, please be Steve, please be Steve.

Guest Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think the damage has already been done. It's going to take something pretty drastic for them to lose 4-5 games fewer than us and Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think the damage has already been done. It's going to take something pretty drastic for them to lose 4-5 games fewer than us and Norwich. Add in the fact that they will also need to hit the ground running. They are 13 points off of automatic promotion, with these next four matches: Wolves (h), Reading (a), Fulham (h), Birmingham (a). That gap could quite easily increase as they will drop points in those games regardless of any new manager bounce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 The fact is. Even if they do perform under a new manager. That 20 point gap between us last year hasn't been closed in the slightest in terms of quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 They have been linked with Wagner from Huddersfield, would be a good move for us, Huddersfield would no doubt start to struggle, and Villa can start beating teams around us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
