da betcris: Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has two games to save his position with the Championship side, according to The Telegraph.
What’s the word?
Sat 15th in the table with just three wins from their opening ten matches, Aston Villa’s promotion push is in danger of falling apart as Steve Bruce struggles to find consistency with last season’s defeated play-off finalists.
Villa have won just one of their past nine fixtures in all competitions and the pressure upon Bruce is rising, with the coming days set to be crucial in his future as The Telegraph says he has just two games to save his job.
Bruce’s side clash with rock-bottom Preston this evening, a match where they will be expected to win, before a trip to Millwall at the weekend ahead of the international break – which may be seen as the ideal time to replace their struggling manager.
Should Bruce go?
A slow start to the season left the pressure mounting on Steve Bruce a month ago and the writing appears to have been on the wall for a while for the experienced manager, who has lost the support of a vast number of supporters.

In fact, the evidence shown so far this season suggests that Villa should be thinking about a replacement for Bruce regardless of how he performs in the next two matches as the performances have been below par, especially given Villa’s promotion hopes.
With an international break around the corner, a new manager can come in and have time to get the squad up to speed before the clash with Swansea City – one of their promotion rivals who currently sit just a couple of points ahead – later this month, and therefore the hierarchy have made another smart decision.
