That‘s the bit that he doesn‘t want to understand

we‘re dragging him down to our level

He‘ll have to prove he‘s good enough first. For example. His distribution will mean 50% of our Goal kicks or his kicks will come straight back at us. The likes of Stoke, Burnley et al will overload the 6yrd box at corners = 0-1 So back to ManUre July1st 2018 please. Then they can loan him out to WH in the Ch.

oh Whatever!

it‘s called Bruce-Ball If we dont freshen things up it will eventually cost us points or more injuries/Burn out. Millwall, who are apparently shit, is the perfect oppertunity to do this. Yes, we have a week till the next game but a longer than normal resting period for the Brucian fav‘s will benefit the next period of games in quick succession. Injuries through Fatigue or burn out should be avoided or put on hold as far back as possible, giving our crocked time to return and the possiblities of loans in january.

I‘d like to add a little bit of „FM 1892“ wisdom. When a manager comes into a club, he has what he has (player pool) if a future Transfer window is 3months away, you have enough time to know what you have and what you want. Therefore, Buying in players is compareable to piecing a jugsaw puzzle. You dont buy a circle to fit the space of a square. it may have the same mass and you could (if possible) reshape it. But why not just buy a square in the first place? it may even be cheaper

I would agree with you if he was given the licence to „do what he wanted“ in order to find where he could be effective. But hoofing to him telling the dog to „go fetch“ is setting him up to fail

I was taking the P*ss out of those of you who do

why did we buy him then?

? would you ask a carpenter to do the job of a plumber? Davis‘s build enables him to challenge for and hold it up. Hogans build is for movement and poaching on loose balls. By saying Hogan is a flop BECAUSE he cant deal with hoofs I can presume that if we played quick one-twos ball along the ground with the ball played through the channels for Davis to run on to, when you would see him struggle to be effective you‘d also say he‘s a flop?

not the brightest either why? Football has no place in the Gaby thread there‘s a joke in there somewhere

No RDM loaned in Januzaj with the money he got from selling Benny McCarthy who Sherwood bought from Garde

@JAMAICAN-VILLAN Gaby for President He‘d love the MLS Medium or Large Shishkebab

Yes, I forgot Here‘s to the Double

Down boy! I loved this post. love the passion But unless we continually draw L1 & 2 teams till we have the honour of entertaining Exeter at Wemberley we have ZERO chance. Lets get up first so that DrT can use his Trillions buying the 21st Century equivalent of Rimmer/Spinks Swain/Gidman Aitken/Williams McGrath/Laursen/Evans/McNaught/Melberg/Southgate & Ugo Bremner/Sid/Mortimer/Morley/Daley/Taylor Platt/Withe/Shaw/Yorke/Saunders/Atkinson & Benteke A squad similar to that would go far and win more than just the FA Cup

ManUre just hedging to secure a transfer fee. IF we go up, he may not be good enough, especially if JT no longer plays in front of him. If we do go up maybe DrT has bigger targets.

yeah lol Record Ch away win please 0-12

I agree with you (that may even be a first) When DrT took over and talk of ins & outs were rife, I posted that I didnt think it would be possible to get all the bad apples out immediately/in a short space of time. And that we may need 2/3 manager changes to finally make a total clearout. (as we still have Bunn, Hutton, Richards, Gaby on our books with Gil still loaned? - the clearout isnt complete) I was amazed that we got so many „remnants of our failed past“ out so quickly. The fact that most of those „apples“ cost PL prices meant (most likely) that we could possibly get favourable sums for them. Add the fact that there were soooooooo many of them, it is hardly surprising that if the „mass“ of outs were sold for £x a lot of the costs for new/loan players wouldn‘t be too much (calculating nett sales & wages out <-> buys/loans & wages in) and would be covered aided by a few of DrT‘s invested cash. So its more of a „job well done“ to those responsible, which I would include both RDM & BRUCE, for the actual ins & out rather than how much has been spent (nett or not). The fact that we spent 12, 15, & 12mill (correct me if wrong) on Kodjia, Hogan & McC is neither here or there because not all signings will work out. Its unfortunate that from 3 players bought for one position 2 have not worked, 1 has but is now injured. Its borderline to critsize RDM & Bruce for not having a 100% success rate with buys. Indeed regarding outs too. (Bruces decision - if it was his - to sell Baker still irks me greatly) because not even Fergie got everything right. But as Bruce has been here for all but 11 games in this league, and a decisive amount of ins/outs have been under his reign, it will be on him if we dont go up. Logic suggests that a goalscoring forward costs that much, and we may have to invest such a sum again. But, Luckily, there is a loan market we can explore, which I hope we do to find someone who can replace/support/compliment Davis and fit Bruces approach (or dare I say it - influence a more progressive approach) Bruce, RDM or the board cannot be critisized for a few signings not working out when there has been such a great turnover of players, but unfortunately, there have been too many, and RDM’s reign should take most of the blame for that, not Bruce‘s reign, which can be blamed for Hogan not being a fit and the far too slow (imho) change in „results over an extended period“ as we are still playing catch up. However they need to be on the ball when the next set of decisions regarding who to keep/get in comes around. I think slamming Bruce because of the amounts spent (nett or not) is less the point. We had the Capitol to trade, we had the parachute payments and the cash from DrT which meant we were at an advantage over all other teams but Newcastle (last season), Wolves and Boro (this season) regarding ffp. If we dont go up, it will be because of an inability to make the tools we‘ve had at our disposal to secure promotion. Bruce will be largely responsible for that. I‘m still not convinced that Bruce will get us to 2nd and I think the playoffs are a risk we could fail. i hope come May the table reads 1 Wolves 2 Aston Villa I‘ll even be delighted with a wemberley victory if need be - but I fear for my health as much as us failing

Needless to say Front foot Dominate Create as many chances and score as many as possible Select to freshen up Sub to rest

3pts no excuses IMHO A SJ mistake is just around the corner (due to JT‘s absence/influence) Hutton was very close to a Red card v Leeds. Is a RC also just around the corner? Samba just played 3 in a weeks - time for a rest? (before he gets either a tired tackle wrong or an injury) Hourihane & Onomah could do with a rest If Millwall really are so shyite away from home, then the risk of resting some of Bruces prefered XI (not that I agree with him or his approach) is not too great. I would rather ease players in and out rather than wait till its too late and we are forced into a „no other choice“ senario. So for me JS Bree Chester RDL Taylor Whelan Snod/Elmo Lansbury Adomah Grealish/O‘Hare Davis Subs SJ Hutton Samba Elmo/Snod Hourihane O‘Hare/Grealish (CF ?) However, Bruce will „go again“ with SJ Hutton Samba Chester Taylor Whelan Snod Onomah Hourihane Adomah Davis Untill JT Jedi & Kodjia/New signing can be brought back into the team If this tactic breaks us and costs us, hindsight will tell us and Bruce will have to live or die by it

Bollox? what do you expect when you pair yourself with the B*ll*ck-brothers Moyes will try his hardest to be worst 1 Nothing to do with karma everything to do with Sir Trevor Brooking - a shame because I liked him as a player - as a bent administrator a complete and utter word removed clearing

there is far too much logic right there

What is it that players from other teams are being managed/coached/instructed/setup to do which seems evident in their play and absent in ours? At which point do we stop watching what others do and start doing it ourselves?

Poor lad I hope it doesnt break him. He needs help. Support from whoever is playing from : Snod, Elmo, Onomah (also a young un) Hourihane, Lansbury, O‘Hare (also young) Grealish and Adomah ^ are we spoilt for choice or what? A big tweek in tactics would help him too. Us having the ball in the oppositions half for long periods of the game would consequentially give him less ground to cover and more support. A goal or 2 and assists would also get the adrenaline pulling him through 90mins+ every few days untill we can get RHM fit, Hogan too, McC back or buy/loan in a Brute. How long is Kodjia out for? I have the feeling that the injury on injury on injury might take its toll on him resulting in him needing even more game-time before he gets on fire. Davis till the end of the season as lone-striker simply wont work out.
