Aston Villa have made an underwhelming start to their season.
Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce spoke to reporters in the aftermath of his side’s 2-0 win over Rotherham United last night, and snapped back at some of the club’s fans for criticising the job that he is doing at Villa Park, as quoted by the Express & Star.
The Villans have made a sluggish start to their 2018/19 campaign, having taken 13 points from their opening eight Championship outings, although they do find themselves sitting in sixth spot in the table.
Some Villa fans have been highly critical of the job being done by Bruce, however, drawing attention to the laboured style of football that is being implemented by the former Hull City boss.
Bruce spoke to reporters after last night’s win, and fired back at those who have been criticising him this season, as quoted by the Express & Star:
“I have got four promotions, last year I nearly had a fifth. Yet I don’t know what I am doing? Unfortunately it filters through the mad few. The vast majority of supporters are right behind what we are trying to do. You can feel it in the stadium. If they wanted me out, the stadium would have erupted with it before the start. The supporters can see we had a bloody awful performance at Sheffield. Now we are sitting in sixth. I hope it shuts a few up. But I doubt it.”
Bruce was speaking in the heat of the moment, and he surely regrets saying what he did, considering the fact that he might have ust alienated some sections of the Aston Villa fanbase.
