Vital Youth Team
Steve Bruce has done a good job here since he came. And in years to come fans will acknowledge that he did come in at another turbulent time in our history and got things moving in the right direction again.
Yes, the quality of football is not pretty overall, and a defensive strategy was the basis of our recovery from the habit of loss after loss in an awful period over the last 7-8 seasons prior. Bruce was chiefly responsible for the upturn and return to hope on matchdays.
Now us supporters are passionate and love a good debate on all things claret and blue, and these forums have a whole spectrum of opinions which is healthy, however terms such as Bruce lover, or Bruce hater are not warranted. We are Villa lovers, and want only good for our great club. Similar to anyone looking to single a player out as a scapegoat on presuming they are trouble when we don't no anything about them as individuals. Some bemoan that typical Bruce will put a run together as the pressure is on him. Well i bloody hope so. That's exactly what we need and i assume all supporters want us to.
As for the Bruce's future, well if we are not in the running for automatic promotion at the end of the year SB will be gone. He probably knows this better than most. If we are in the mix then let's get right behind the whole team and the manager if you want him here or not. Until he goes and we roll the dice again hoping for a double 6, we should support him.
Finally, we have much to be positive about, the club is now owned by very wealthy people who will only move us upward. We have a squad of a quality that should push for promotion including a couple of real premier league class acts in Jack and Chester, we still have a great stadium, a great name and not least of all great supporters. Love you all and UTV.
