Lets get a new manager and a new squad in again! I'd agree if this was on the players. But it isn't. It's 100% on Bruce. We start well, knock it about, then we stop playing and they play us off the park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Been saying for a couple of months that questions need to be asked. He literally has no excuses. I would take warnock in a heartbeat as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Buys a completely new midfield, plays shit aimless hoofball yet again. He's been completely schooled by Dean Smith so far, who made adjustments after just 10 minutes and has completely nullified us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 This is more of his team now and needs to sort things out. It's starting to be consistently bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? All midfield signings he made have been with team for few days. He had zero impact on them as of yet.

It's not like Warnock's a master tactician 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't just have to rely on new signings playing well. He is the manager. It's been shit for a couple of months now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think a lot of people are overreacting right now. We have a completely new midfield. Bruce is still the right man for the job. We need to stop chopping and changing managers and squads. I will begin to judge him next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It doesnt matter who we appoint, how much time they have, who they sign, the football (and of course results) are just pox-ridden shite. Over and over and over. Sack him, dont sack him, it makes **** all difference. Why even bother anymore? Put the club into receivership, we are an embarrassment.

So if we lost 10 in a row now, you will still judge him next season? All I hear is excuses and mindless optimism based on nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 He's got to be given time to get the new players embedded in to the team. This is no way going to be a quick fix and we still have weak areas that need sorting. Only criticism I would lay at Bruce's door so far is his GK choice and the fact that we haven't brought in another CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Its going to take time for the new players to gel in. Kodjia should have scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I do think he has to take the blame for our style of play though. players dont seem to have a clue what to do at the moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've replaced our entire midfield and still have Hutton as RB so it was never going to be easy. Will be interesting to see how we play with Hogan and Kodjia in the team.

I am confident he is the right man for the job and i believe that he is capable of getting us promoted next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 What a ****. All the goodwill from the signings pissed away in shit performances. AGAIN. He doesnt have a clue. Get rid. Every matchday Ive spent the past week forgetting the garbage from before and am deluded into the hope we wont be so **** futile this time and hey ho there we are AGAIN **** off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 First it was better than di Matteo Then the excuse was we're winning even when playing badly, sign of a good team Then we stopped winning and it was take your pick of midfielder to blame the entire team's performance and the tactics on. Then we were buying new midfielders to replace the ones that were complained about. We've replaced every position on the pitch who the fans have generally agreed need replacing. We're losing every week with only a rare sniff at goal and it's the tactics that are wrong. I don't want Bruce to leave, I want him to wake up and realise his part in us not living up to expectations. Stop telling us how terrible the performances are, we're being put through them. Makes it all the worse when so many of us were hoping this would be the game we'd see a huge change. Please please change tactics and salvage this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
