Every year at this time of the year fans reflect on the past season and look forward with optimism to the next season. We long suffering villa fans have done this over the last five years only to be disappointed. We have investment loyal fans what we don't have is a manager who wants to give us quality football but has a strategy to maintain his credibility as a football man.
Please guys don't back a man who is only focused on his own credibility we deserve better. The last four months have been turgid and is not likely to improve. The signings have been poor and will not get us challenging for honours. I really don't have a solution or a magic wand, wish I had, but what we have is going no where no matter what rose tinted glasses you wear.
So please guys don't sit back and hope good times are ahead because it ain't going to happen. Want far more and expect far more or our club is going to end up like Wigan, Blackburn and blues.

You make a point but then have no explanation or evidence following it. If you called Bruce useless, a dinasaur, clueless then you probably have a selection of games where we've been awful in the final third and abject of ideas and play hoof ball. However only focused on his own credibility? How? What planet are you on? Where do you get this stuff from?

Hopeful really? Look mate I understand your anger some games this season we have been simply awful and Bruce hadn't hid from that but I still think his watching players seeing who he can trust. I am not a massive fan at all his football is awful but because of his record we have to give him time his record says he knows what his doing.
I don't think Bruce is great but his not selfish or concerned with his own record as you put it his a top bloke trying his best his honest I just think his not our type of manager that we are used to seeing. Kodjia getting injured as put a huge dent on our promotion hopes but as a team we should be setting up an scoring more goals. Grelish and many others have got to be scoring and playing better its about desire! My outcome give him a pre season and let's at least let him have ago to turn it around if it fails go for wagner.

I agree wtw, but we the way we play at the minute stifles players like hogan, Hourihane and Grealish from stepping up, we are in our own half majority of the time with 11 behind the ball. Defensive football when we have one of the best attacking squads in the league.
