An interesting point. I would have nothing against Bruce being „General Manager“ or DoF if it meant using his experience and advantages for the footballing side of the club. As long as we had a „Coach“ Head Coach or whatever the title is who designated a playing style, picked the tactics and team, Choose player targets and took training (picking his assistants & coaching staff) Bruce is finished as a manager, as an experienced figure at a club no. But dictating the football, well and truly bust.

great stuff let‘s lose so we can win the next game 3 from a possible 6pts gets us where?

play football not Bruce-Ball get players supporting him lessen his workload (surprised that I needed to explain that to you as I think you are a consistantly good poster even if I dont agree with you sometimes)

Your defence of Bruce fails subsequently by the simple fact that Wolves are top of the league and can allow themselves such results occasionally. We were a slave to our every defeat we are becoming slaves to our every draw We will become slaves to winning EVERY game at a certain point

@vreitti it‘s not baffling at all it‘s Brucian ( @Lerner's Driver )

100% ^ let yourself down with this bit if anyone can get us to perform any worse, Bruce IS that man.

you will come saturday

I hope so we‘ll see if it wasnt too late a rest Pedantic (I know) v Millwall no goal v Leeds no goal 2 bad team performances in which he didnt do a „Kodjia“ Which is the whole point. We simply cant rely on somebody doing a „Kodjia“ EVERY game From Rowetts perspective, I dont think ugly will come into it. They‘ll sit back when we have the ball, a hoof or pass will go astray, they‘ll go at us, we‘ll panic the ball away dropping deeper and deeper till they score. Will someone „Kodjia“ us a point or 3? or will they score 2 or more? thats the question

Rowett got the Scum pushing for 6th with a shit squad within a season he‘s got Derby to look like they mean business. Bruce is underachieving consistantly since January. So when you wake up from your dream you can tell me that we either finished in 2nd above Derby or beat them in the playoffs You mention 1 pt above us. please give me your opinion on Saturday anytime after 5pm when we‘ll be 4pts behind them Thanks in advance

one is a more effective version of the other have a wild guess

I‘m NOT talking about playing him or not I‘m talking about HOW he is played

talk to me in a few games time when he either breaks down injured or is dropped because he‘s no longer effective in his play

Yes the way he plays him exposed - isolated - set up so he has no help

Davis is not the first being hung out to dry by Bruce. Bad man management of him will mean loss of confidence and burn-out leading to injury while being continually played isolated.

Sorry but we have no chance in this game. Samba‘s injury means Elphick in we have a tired MF of Hourihane & Whelan an off form Snod & Adomah and a shattered Davis Question 1 How are we going to stop them scoring? Question 2 How are we going to score? Derby are getting their momentum going Rowett v Bruce say no more

DrT gave a motivational speech before that game Result = 3pts (and a good performance) Bruce-asaurous gave motivation speeches, training, coaching, tactics for a whole week before v Leeds & v Millwall Result = 1pt (each game) (usual shyte performances NO credit for Bruce, thank you

Not having a dig as I agree with almost everything correct yes BUT! our problem is We are playing catchup so „largely“ is not enough. We need to beat nearly everybody and not draw to teams below us i.e. Leeds and Millwall 2/6 pts means we have to up the ppg by 2 more pts over the rest of the season adding the 2pts to the already lost pts AND the lost pts we will have once we‘ve played the top 6/8 the second time around ^^^^^^^**This is the point of all points. Beating the likes of AV 3-0 at home and most of the others - which rightly place them top - ALLOWS them a „bad day at the office“ now and again. We have „40+ bad days at the office“ and that is supposed to be a concept to gain promotion?

Absolutely spot on.

The real problem we will face is not our opponents, whoever they are, where they are, what form they are in home or away. Our problem is now ourselves. 1 As Bruce has deployed Hutton or Elmo at RB, Bree nor RDL have not had enough game time to be relied on. 2 Playing an injured Samba „until he finally gets crocked“ now denies us of a CB giving us the honour of playing Elphick. Who‘s next? Richards? Samba as „joker up top“ to relieve Davis is now no longer an option. 3 over playing Whelan, Hourihane Onomah, Snod (also whilst injured), Davis & Adomah has effected ALL of their form We had a backup team of Steer Bree RDL Samba (nobody for Taylor) Elmo Lyden O‘Hare Grealish McC Hogan That XI (with Taylor or even Thor at LB) could hold its own in this league - Not expected to beat Wolves, But Millwall and the majority of the rest. (Not playing Bruce-Ball may I point out). Used correctly (as sub or start) we could be comfortable in using them. Now we have Bree RDL Grealish Lyden & O‘Hare lacking game time Terry Jedi Kodjia Hogan Green & Samba injured Snod Hourihane Whelan Adomah and Onomah out of form and McC down under What an ulmighty F**** up. Whoever Bruce plays now, will not reflect their full potential. SJ Bree Chester RDL Taylor Lansbury Hourihane Elmo Grealish Adomah Davis However, half of them wont be able to deliver

Aston Villa 0-1 Anyone Utd

the reality of it all is, He should have been sacked after the Cardiff defeat last January, The theory behind that statement is that he has not done enough to prove a credible decision to keep him. We are not where we should be because of him, and are exactly where we are despite him. This „nearly catching up, then losing“ falling short of the intended target is now so far down the line that the margin for error is a continuum of „nearly catching up, then drawing“ We will be at a point where “nearly catching up, winning, winning and winning till we cant play anymore“ Yet it still wont be enough. Get rid - the sooner the better - before all options for promotion are gone. BRUCE OUT

So how would you describe the approach of keeping someone to „fix a problem“ which is not only of his own doing but also falling short for correcting „the problem“?

It‘s never to late to switch horses from one who‘ll never get you over the line.

Your right to opinion of course. The problem is though. Looking at the facts, he is more right than the „Bruce in“ will ever be. Bruce Out

I know But Bruce knows nothing about Rockets nor Science. Unless of course a Rocket is some kind of spicy Kebab that curdles flames out of your @r$e
