TrickyTrev Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Seem confident and I had no idea Steve Bruce decide what the away allocations were at Hillsborough. A few views from the Villa forum. They are in red hot form right now but I think they underestimate us at their peril, this'll not be the walk in the park some of their fans predict, the Steve Bruce side they describe as sitting back and setting up not to get beat certainly isn't one that I have recognised since he's been at Hillsborough. For the first time in a while I'm actually enjoying my football again. Bring on tomorrow... Ordinarily you would think that a former manager would have a bit of an advantage over his former team as he knows the players, knows their strengths and weaknesses....... BUT We are such a different proposition in both personnel and playing style since Bruce's time here that none of that counts. Yes I'm sure he would love to win (as he still cannot accept he did anything wrong), but I don't think he has the tools to do so. It will be a tough game as he will set up his usual anti-football, which we will have to break down. The thing is, when we could not break down teams earlier in the season we were playing a totally different style. If a team tries to sit back against us now, we will batter them. Can you imagine the smugness if we did not win? The Bruce family/fan club/media will say what a terrible decision it was to get rid and how he has shown us that Smith is no better. Come on Deano... Six on the bounce please IF there is a football god we should hammer them. If history has taught us anything though, it's that there isn't a football god and ugly anti football quite often brings home all 3 points. I'd expect us to have nearly all of the ball and make them look like the away side at their place, if we don't score early though it'll get increasingly frustrating and we'll have to keep our wits about us not to concede on the counter. If we DO score early though we just might give them a pasting. When a teams manages 37% possession and 1 shot on goal away to Stoke. We should hopefully be way too good for them. Interesting listening to WM phone in, apparently Steve Bruce tried to stop the extra allocation of away tickets for this game. It was Franks who said this not some random caller by the way. He must be dreading it. I'm calm about this one now. I was worried, but not any more. Firstly, if we're serious about going up then we need to be handling these types of game, and Steve Bruce couldn't handle Smith when he was here, so it'd be a surprise if he has learned how while he was lying on a beach. Although nervous I can only see us winning this. Start on the front foot, have the game won by half time and then push for more. Bruce will set up to not get beaten, and I think that will play into our hands. We will have all the possession and I would think the majority of the chances. The question is can we take those chances. The keeper Westwood has been in cracking form recently so finishing is going to have to be good to get past him. Also, SB will be well organised from set plays and will no doubt target the likes of Taylor and Hause. Expect long balls from the back landing on Taylor, SB will put someone who can head the ball at RM. I don't see anything other than another win. If Bruce sets them up to sit back as he usually does we should easily have enough to break them down over the course of 90 minutes. Makes me laugh how confident that the Wednesday fans are now they have a 'proper manager' in Bruce. Draws are no good apparently, need to set up to win home or away...yep, very Bruce! Bruce mentioned getting us to the playoff final was one of his biggest achievements due to our financial constraints. I wish somebody would show him what our wage bill was next time he says that. Really hope football prevails tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 What an arrogant set of fans. They are 4 points in front of us. Reading that you would believe they are challenging for the title and we are nothing more than average. Hope we stuff the cabbage throwing twats.

Wednesday_Jack Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) I can remember talking to some villa fans in litchfield, the season they got relegated...we were away at Wolves I think!!! They were adamant they would walk the championship...they honestly thought it would be easy and they would go up at the first attempt!!!

wednesdaywizard Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Ah, the same villa fans who were going to walk this shít league what with them being the biggest club the league has ever seen. How's that going for them? I've personally loved every second of watching them continue to fail. They can get ready next season if they don't go up this one.

shandypants Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Its no different to what we’d be saying if we were in the top 6 playing a team in 11th place. We’ve probably been more arrogant than that. You know, it really doesn’t matter what other team’s fans think - it really doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
