The fact is there are a number of Villa fans that will find a reason to want Bruce out no matter what. Unfortunately.
I can remember clearly that in the days coming up to the home match vs Wolves everyone was saying that Wolves were going to wipe the floor with us. And this was Villa fans talking!
The saving grace for the anti-Bruce brigade was that we disappointed badly in the two matches after Wolves. If that hadn’t happened there would have been a lot of red faces for the rest of the season!
But these stats make for interesting reading. In the 21 matches played (inclusive) fro 30/12/17 to 28/4/18 – i.e. excludng the last match, which made no difference, the playing stats were:
P 21 W 14 D 3 L4 = 45 points. That rate if throughout the season would have got us automatic promotion.
Goals-wise, we scored 40 (in 21 matches) – as near as damnit to 2 per match.
In addition, the fact is that we scored 4 or more in 6 games this past season. And they include wins over Bristol (then thought promotion candidates) and Wolves. Also another 5 matches scoring 3 goals.
Boring, predictable Bruce? Well, with those stats, keep it up Steve!
