Aston Villa were beaten 2-0 by Derby County yesterday.
Aston Villa fans have slated Steve Bruce for failing to pick a striker in their match against Derby County yesterday.
Villa were without Keinan Davis due to injury, but rather than turn to Scott Hogan or Gabby Agbonlahor, Bruce decided to play Josh Onomah up-front.
The decision backfired, as Villa lost 2-0 at Pride Park, and the claret and blues looked toothless throughout.
Bruce admitted after the match that he should have picked a striker, telling the Birmingham Mail: “Maybe I should have started one of them.”
However, Villa fans on social media were not in a forgiving mood, with many calling for Bruce’s head.
Villa have actually improved in recent weeks to move into the play off places, but their defeat to Derby has raised questions.
Villa have now failed to score in either of their last two outings, with their attacking problems causing concern.
Bruce has already stated that he wants to sign a striker in the January transfer window, and the pressure is mounting on the experienced boss to make sure he gets his recruitment right.
