osmark86 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 No let's keep making more drastic changes. That tends to create clear common ground for everyone involved. I cannot remember the last time we had some form of continuity. We have all the right ingredients to make that happen now, so bloody endure. Mid table mediocrity this year (yeah I know, worst form, doom and gloom etc). Real fight next year. I hate our current predicament as much as anyone else on here and allow myself a tide of woe after each consecutive defeat as much as your nextdoor aston acolyte, but for the love of Saytan, let's not do what we always do and expect a different output. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article would be irrelavant apart from the observations made about his time at Sunderland exactly mirror where we are with him now he is at Villa Park, if you cannot see that then thats not my problem. I can see your comparison, but there are equally as many if not more examples of the opposite, so I'm unsure of its merit. I think you are making selective pieces to try and prove your point.....but so was I.....I followed you. fair dinkum? That was the point you was apparently failing to see. He is not the only one to struggle at Sunderland or Villa.....maybe the jobs are bigger than we think. you see in most arguments in life there are 2 sides....it might be worth having a gander at the other side some time or other.

It was interesting reading an article written by Tony Pulis ......He was very cautious of big change.....He was banging the drum for gradual development. He stopped short of naming Steve Bruce and the mammoth change, but I think he was alluding to us. I agree with him .....but we have been left with a colossal job that was not wanted by us either.....but hey!.....we have got what we have got and we have to fight our way back to sensibility what Tony P was mooting.

A lot of midfielders do it. It's exactly how some of the best passers recently have played. What you said doesn't really make sense to me! I don't think he has sufficient combative skills to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to stop throwing 60 posts a week about every single aspect of the players, the club, the manager and the **** refreshment team - leave their computers and go outside - 90% of the posts in this thread are embarrassing. I understand this is a fans forum, but it seems like the same 20 posters, 10 from the for and 10 from the against club who just endlessly recycle their crap statistics (based on 11 frickin' games in a few posts above!) like they mean absolutely anything. They don't. It's a tiny, insignificant proportion of anything which loosely and meaninglessly gives weak arguments a bit of substance. STOP, PLZ JUST STOP. Let other people get involved or just don't comment for a few hours. I don't care about Steve Bruce either way - he's a football manager. He's previously got it right and wrong at a multitude of clubs and only time will tell if this current bad spell is the end for him or not. Regardless of that, he's probably only just started to get to Bodymoor Heath without the use of a **** satnav and people already want him to be fired, despite that we've changed the team more or less twice in 6 months. It should come as little surprise (especially given where we've come from and the crap years before) that with such an enormous personnel change that we're not playing like frickin' 1970's Brazil. YEA BUT WE LOST AGAINST BRENTFORD AND PRESTON AND THAT OTHER TEAM FROM UP NORTH - I don't give a cluck, any team can beat anyone. Get over it. This is football, not frickin' top trumps. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowlersrs Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 What I will say about Bruce is he puts out the formations and players I want to see. He's making changes every game which I see some are questioning but we have been very poor in the last 3 games so it's hard to know which way to turn. I certainly think we miss Jedinak more than some would care to admit. I'd be giving Bruce till seasons end. If things are still as dire then he will have to be relieved of his duties but I think the club needs to persist with him till then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I like Bruce a lot, but he seems to rate Gabby, Bacuna and Micah Richards. I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If Tim Sherwood and Paul Lambert had a love child it would be Steve Bruce. Tactically inept and a new plan every other game. Desperate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've actually started to wonder, if one of the problems is that almost all of these new players were used to being "The man" at their club. Hence the not playing as a "team" and backfire? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Bruce is jumping the shark, so desperate Richards is back in the fold, only a matter of time before Bruce is sacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Good God. First I saw the Richards thread bumped then I read a couple of comments in here and with dread checked the News. He really has said "he's a stick on if fit ". Up until now I have said Bruce is doing appallingly but should still be given at least a few more games and maybe end of season. Not now. That's the final straw. There is no way those comments are from a man who is in full control and has a definite plan of where he is taking us, no way. Richards has been awful in every conceivable way for us. Sorry Bruce that's me in the Sack Him camp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
