Ash so not something you believed just PFE , gotcha

Unbelievable and I think warrants an explanation

How totally facetious . Give the post on poster bit a rest hey?

I flog him to anyone willing to hand over a couple of mill

If be amazed if we get anything above 2m for him it would be astonishing business.

Considering the midfield options he has? He has more options than people are suggesting .

Mark I've not deleted you post for no other reason than long multi quoted threads are a pain. look its your opinion, some of which I have a degree of sympathy for but fair play to you. The point I am making is that I do not think Bruce has done as brilliantly as some people are making out, I do not believe that he cannot be criticised and I have cited an example of a manager, many of whom would not want him at our club so I accept the comparison is unpallatable for some people, who has done better in similar circumstances. Does that mean Bruce has been crap or I think he has been crap? No

Of course and before I explain let me just say VillaCas that was an excellent post really one of the best on this site in the last few weeks. no to address the point of my comparison to mcclaren , there seems to be a current perceived norm or accepted wisdom on here which is made up of one , some or all of the following views; its all about points nothing more its not his squad so we can't expect much hard to see what more he could have done based on that he's doing a brilliant job. Now my point was to show that a decent comparison is mcclaren at Derby . He

No.

No not sure it is worth noting as Chelsea aren't a competitor of ours in this division and conte did not join them at about the same time Bruce joined us with both teams on the same points. McLaren v Bruce does bear comparison and I'm surprised you feel that judging whether he is doing better or not is subjective given that points is all that matters his Derby have got more points than us in the same timescale so he is doing better.

I don't hate him I just think he is a shit footballer who really masquerades as a professional . People need to distinguish between having an opinion that someone us poor and hate

18 months ago in that time 13 have left and 12 arrived

McLaren is doing better with derby than Bruce is with us

Genuine, it's crayon

Get it sorted out then chap!

Look for one with a round badge

Decent at this level not able to step up to the next level so will serve us well in this league for the next couple of years or so

Not even pub league standard

Although he does keep picking agbonlahor

id like to see us play four in midfield, not two, not one, not three but four please so we need a central midfielder and a left winger please

One of about three players we have that would be ok in the premier league

Why

Agreed . Not a midfielder for me but I'd have him replacing the dire Hutton

Fair enough , and to prove how seriously I am taking your request I've put the ipad down and opened up the laptop for the better keyboard. Dubious Team Selection I did not like the team selection at all. He said he would ring the changes after the Norwich game. In practice that meant Bunn for Gollini, Baker for Elphick, Gardner for Westwood, Bacuna for Grealish, Adomah for Ayew and Mccormack for Agbonlahor. He retained the formation I would suggest. Now for a start how Tshibola is behind any of Gardner, Westwood or Bacuna for me is an absolute mystery. They are all very very poor
