OK - nothing special. But given that we've changed formation and/or personnel every game so far it's hard to be too critical. Passing much better than previous incumbents but obv extremely slow. Gave away a stupid free kick that cost us a goal the other day as he was outpaced. Not as vocal in organising the defense as I would like or expect, but prepared to give him a while longer (and decent manager to work with).
I don't think he'll get the player manager gig, but who knows with Villa. He's only now working on his coaching badges I think. He might do alright one day - as Clive says, he's worked with some great managers, but I would fear he'd be a bit Tim Sherwood. (Maybe that's a bit harsh.)
After getting a shoeing from Boro tonight I hope we see the back of Bruce and his terrible negative tactic-free football.
