Intro:

Post match reaction from Villa Park after Aston Villa maintained their unbeaten start to the English Premier League season with a 2-1 win over Hull City on Sunday (31st August).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Bruce, Hull City coach(On how poor his team were in the first half):

"Well for how good our second half performance was, our first half was just as bad, so we've given ourselves such a mountain to climb with the performance level in the first half in particular. It was arguably the worst I think - I've been at this club for a couple of years now - and that's arguably the worst I've seen us perform. I can't remember us performing so badly, so thankfully, there was a response from them and in the second half we made a game of it and played terrifically well and took the game to Villa and on another day could have nicked something, but I still can't get over how bad we were in the first half, because that was nowhere near like us."
