Chrisavfc is obviously a pationate loyal Villa fan, he sees less wrong than Danny WTW and more of us. I genuinely agree with most of what he says I was identical up to five years ago. I am now more critical now, however after fifty years of loyal support I feel the fans have been badly let down and have earned the right to criticize our failures. I hoped Bruce would have been able to lift our spirits and give us something to be proud of unfortunately I strongly believe this is not going to happen.
Tomorrow may well decide on our future path, however teams and managers are going to come to Villa Park and try to silence the fans and get us to turn on the team. I hope we all give Bruce a final chance and we get behind the boys no matter what the outcome so SB can not blame us if it is his final swansong.

Well said mate, i'm not on here to criticise anybody, I think we are all feeling it at the moment to be honest, we just want what's best for our club and we are all full of mixed emotions. Let's get behind the team and hope we can get a good run of results. In regard to our Manager - let's leave it to the good Dr to sort out.

Hopeful, I'm the same as you, I know exactly how bad it is down there at the minute and also want change. I was just pointing out earlier how Danny had turned Bruce saying he shouldn't be judged after 3 games to Bruce saying the fans are at fault for our bad performances. Clearly isn't what he said or implied.

Please consider this. We must not judge SB on the last 3 games but the whole of last season with him in charge. From my seat in the Holte I could see a largely negative formation, with some very pleasing positives. Solo performances by Kodja who scored some special goals to keep us mid table. A maturing Nathan Baker finally looking like fulfilling his potential. The wizard of Oz commanding the midfield once he was somewhere near full fitness. Sadly none of these players are available. NB could be a poor mans Gary Cahill in a couple of seasons? I am not judging SB right now even though his formation, lack of attacking ideas, inability to change things during the 90 mins and most importantly the body language from players. You need a manager in any business to command respect but more importantly for them to believe in what the man is asking them to do.
On the pitch this does not look to be the case at the moment. Ultimately it will probably the players who decide when SB goes.
