He looks physically and mentally fatigued to me.

He needs to sit on the bench for Friday,

He is still an important player.

The players have let him down however Bruce has made too many mistakes now.

We still can achieve promotion but Bruce has admitted to making mistakes and continues to make them.

Bruce has not utilised this squad of players and as a result of that,  Adomah, Snodgrass & Hourihane are now fatigued.  

For example;

It doesn't make sense playing Lansbury & Onomah once a month and expecting them to play terrific when they are both not match fit. 

One would think that with the amount of matches we had ( & will) play, Andre Green should be at least on the bench, instead we have him looking like Ronaldo for the u-23's..

I am worried by how this season will end.

Our wide players look tired..

Outstanding goal though

Players need resting..

But i guess that he knows his players better than we do..

Cardiff are controlling the game defensively. 

Wolves are struggling to break them down. 

It may change..

Fair play to QPR they have worked hard and been composed all game.

The players are tired from the last game, we could have freshened our team for this game.

It's only football. Lets see what the rest of the season will bring.

He looked a class above everything on that pitch tonight.

I would go as far as saying that he looked even better now than he did before his injury. 

Maybe it is because we haven't seen him for a while i dunno.

A lot of fans give him a hard time on here.

One thing that I have learnt is to reserve my judgement once the game has finished.

I still think that he can get us into 2nd. The 7 game run convinced me. 

We are lucky to be level.

Worst half i have seen from us in a while. A lot of our players look sloppy.

He is not fazed by the pressure at this club.

Took his penalty well and contributed to the cause.

I would like to see him up front. 

I thought he did well, 

He isn't  the best player but he gives 100% each and every game. 

He could have scored a worldie in the first half. 

He plays better in a three as a holding player. 

I will take that result.

We need that international break to have that final push

You win some.. you lose some

we will be fine. 

Onomah and his magnificent work rate has replaced Elmo

We have done well.

Fulham cannot break us down and despite having the majority of the possession they have not converted this to chances. 

We look more threatening and less likely to concede. 

I said a few days ago that Tuanzebe would play a key role in keeping Sessegnon out of the game, he has done that brilliantly. 

Bjarnsson and Jedinak are breaking up play very well and look very physical in the middle of the park. 

Thor had a wonderful chance.

Overall we look the better side. 

It would not surprise me if these doubts are mind games..

Question to Villa fans.

IF Bruce gets us promoted via top 2.  Do you believe that he can keep us up?

Looking at the premier league, i'v noticed that the fancy foreign managers tend to come and go. I think Recruitment has been the downfall to many clubs in the Premier League.

Sam Allardyce, David Moyes, they seem to be doing well in the league above.

Is Steve Bruce any different to those managers?

i think that he will have a big role to play against Fulham, even if it is off the bench.

I think that he could keep Sessegnon out of the game. 

I am ecstatic over our form and victory.

I think now, we should look to chase Wolves in order to sustain our automatic promotion spot.

Can Wolves drop 12 points or more? 

I am expecting us to win because we are a far more settled team with more quality than we had when they last came to Villa Park.

This was our Line up and Formation against Blues last season.  We were over run in midfield and we lacked legs and we scrapped a 1-0 victory. Compared to what we have available to us now and the form that we're in.. i am confident.

Gabby is more likely to score than Davis from the bench.

Gabby should take Davis's place on the bench.

Feels great to be a winning team again. Do people expect Tony to splash the cash straight away if we're promoted, or will he play it conservative?

Well the transfer window is shorter next season, it will open from the 17th May up until the 9th August.

So more than likely he will.

You had me until this ^.  Now is not the time to be changing the fundamental formation that is working for us.  Especially with, as you say, games coming thick and fast.  Let's use the squad depth to rotate in and out as necessary, but with players fulfilling the same, established, roles within the team.

I said If, inevitably we are not going to stick with the same shape until may. We could even switch to a back 3 whilst leading against wolves with ten minutes to go
