Made In Aston Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's unrealistic to expect promotion this year. Bruce would need to win about 55% of games and get over 70 points. I hope villa fans don't expect miracles then turn on him and Xia if we don't go up. Think we will need to consolidate for now and push on next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not a fan of Bruce and never have been throughout his career. Hope he does well for us though, maybe he'll turn my opinion around! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Pretty sure Tont didn't write that! Anyway who cares welcome to the mad house big Steve. The bar is so low but every manager before you has only pushed it lower. Key is to lift with your legs other wise you'll do your back and never recover.

Personally I doubt it and that is all this is about . Difference of opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't go up though it's not really down to Bruce and it's not the end of the world, because as you stated we could crack on next season. I would never write us off just yet though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The best we can really hope for until the January transfer window is that he plays a more balanced team and turn as many as possible of the draws into wins. Once we get a midfield I expect to see real improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted October 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm happy with this. Welcome Mr Bruce. I've got a feeling he'll do very well after probably a shaky start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 We have a talented bunch of players who look like they are playing scared shitless. DiMatteo was a clown. Bruce a good man manager .

flamingsombrero Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Our first "manager" in nearly 6 years and someone with the right tool set to sort out our basket case of a team. Good luck!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if I've missed those posts. Maybe some people who don't like him wouldn't be quite as upset if he failed as would other people - that's human nature, and it still doesn't make them bad fans. Otherwise I agree - it's interesting to read someone's view as to why he will do well or do badly, where they explain why. Ultimately we're all guessing, I suppose. I think back to when we signed Heskey, and Marlon Harewood and a few other, "controversial" signings and compare and contrast the "standards" adhered to by posters then. I guess I'm focusing on individual posts I had dialog with but I recall a poster saying 10th this season and worse next before he is sacked. Yet nothing to back it up apart from the fact he was upset with Bruce appointment and he demoralised with villa. I get the latter part but not the first.
