If you believe the 'football scholars' on social media, Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce is one or two bad results away from being sacked. A judgment made regardless of the fact, that he's just had his first preseason and bought in another batch of players. In the real world, he'll certainly get more than three games to prove his credentials, but patience is running thin and the football is still woeful.David and Dan of the My Old Man Said podcast have always maintained the brand of football hasn't been good enough for promotion or even worthy of watching. They both discuss what's going wrong on the pitch and examine the double whammy of insipid performances in the away defeats against Cardiff and Reading. They also cover former Villan Gareth Barry going to WBA.Villa players in focus include all the cover boys. Will Scott Hogan come good? What is Bruce playing at with Conor Hourihane? What's the point of Birkir Bjarnason? And what's with Andre Green's final touch?!Also, Negatron discusses scapegoats and what sho

David and Dan reflect back on the league opener against Hull City and the mid-week League Cup away win in the rain of Colchester.They have a closer look at players that haven't really got up and running at Villa, such as Scott Hogan, Conor Hourihane and Birkir Bjarnason. And also access whether the team's young hopefuls such as Andre Green and Callum O'Hare can play a big role in Aston Villa's quest for promotion.The logic of Samba's cameo up front is revealed and there is concern over the left-side of Villa's team.Also, in the show is Twitter With Tony and a couple of appearances from Negatron to spoil the early season optimism.Enjoy!Support the podcast via the Patron link on the website - http://www.myoldmansaid.com - and keep the show on the road!UTV* The audio quality is not totally on point due to the wi-fi messing things up.
