Hi all. I started following this thread about page 230 I think and have enjoyed dipping in and out reading your thoughts over the last few months. Can appreciate your disappointment but I wouldn't despair completely. The league is always full of surprises and the playoffs are no different. I did feel after your win over Wolves that scoreline aside, it wasn't particularly an impressive tactical performance from Bruce. You scored from two set pieces that were good deliveries and pure tennancity from your guys to get on the end of and then profited from some individual brilliance. I came away less dissapointed than when we lost to Fulham.
Anyway I am not a fan of Bruce, but I feel that in the playoffs he'd be the manager I want most. I'd not want an away playoff match at Villa Park neither.
