TrentVilla Posted January 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just so entirely predictable, both the performances and the comments from him. Its remarkable to watch history repeating itself having lived through it. Still, who could they get better? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, MaVilla said: Their next 8 games are Arsenal, Leeds, Everton, Palace, Southampton, Chelsea, Man Utd, Wolves. I can see them struggling to pick up many points in those games, maybe a point or 3 at Palace?, other than that those games dont look good for them. That is a lot of dropped points. Maybe they get a result against Palace or Leeds but none else. Who would Ashley hire to replace Bruce? Nigel Pearson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 You know they'll fluke a couple of results against Chelsea or someone else. On paper though, given how they've been playing, they have no right to even get a point out of that run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Yes I dislike them but I don't think they will get relegated, they have just too much unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 To be fair they have been unlucky to lose their best defender and most dangerous attacking player to Covid and they may never be right again, just hope we don't suffer the same fate with ours.

Rino8 Posted January 13, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) The red will give him enough of an excuse along with the dodgy pen call that the media will side with him, no getting rid of him while they're in this league. As a side note, Newcastle continue their streak of giving some of the all time worst prem teams results. 4 points to Derby in 08/09. The only team in the league to not beat Villa in 15/16 and now Sheffield United. Think I'd rather be a nailed on relegation than the shite they have to endure Edited January 13, 2021 by Rino8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd rather be a nailed on relegation than the shite they have to endure In the Championship under Bruce, it felt like a chore watching the games. On occasion, the players rebelled, and actually play quite well, followed up with the resumption of normal programming of turgid, dire, boring football in the games that followed. As for choosing between relegation or Bruceball, that would be a quite tough " Would you rather...". Luckily for both of us now, that is in the past, and our teams have managers that encourage the players' creativity, and the tactics are not limited to how to get to the front of the kebab line quicker.

One For The Road Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This is a team suffering from the effects of covid. Their squad wasn't hit anything like as badly as ours. I'd go easy on the "laughing" for now. It may come back to bite us in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Yep, 5 at the back and playing not to lose vs the team with the worst start in league history is not a covid thing that's a Bruce thing We might hit a rough patch in the next few months but no way in hell will we play like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted January 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2021 They still almost shithoused a bizarre own goal at the end. Will definitely get an unexpected result in that run to keep them clear of the drop zone. I hope fans get to come back before he’s sacked because I want to see all the different kinds of veg that the Geordies opt for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were race horses their day's would be numbered with that disease combination + playing for Newcastle. Trained by Steve "Sad Ken" Bruce.

Saint Maximn had a bad dose and that's obviously impacted. Think Lascelles also struggled. After resuming after our game their form has been 4 defeats from 7. However before covid outbreak it was 3 defeats from 5 so if we look at pure results not a huge difference given the quality of teams they've faced is of similar standard either side.
