Steve Bruce hits back at critics following Rotherham win
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce has hit back at his critics following the club’s 2-0 win over Rotherham on Tuesday night.
Villa produced a fine performance as two of their summer signings scored the goals which secured all three points.
Tammy Abraham netted his first for the club to open the scoring before Yannick Bolasie added a second – also his first in claret and blue.
Bruce has come under fire this season after a string of disappointing performances, with no wins in five games before the Rotherham clash.
Speaking to The Express after the game, Bruce said this:
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.
