It lacks ambition which is bizzare as we need 3 points today, Whelan isn't mobile enough, has Bruce forgotten the Brentford game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Stupid decision making. Preston are not a big team and that is the game you could've rested Jedinak. SWFC have two massive strikers and we could've done with Jedinak or Thor in this game to combat that. Whelan is an atrocious pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Failure to win this and I think it's safe to say we've pretty much bottled automatic promotion. Some horrific decisions have been made since the Birmingham City game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Really disappointing. The way we have good and bad spells under bruce is worrying. From one extreme to another. For me i think that happens because we are so reliant on quality players doing something rather than a consistent approach thanks to good coaching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Am I right in thinking that for half our good spell Bruce wasn’t in charge day to day because of his family issues? If so maybe that’s the answer. Seems a nice bloke and I’m sorry for his current troubles but he just doesn’t seem to be doing the job well.

We've just won away at Wednesday, got a decent point midweek considering we didn't play great. Derby dropped points and we are 1 point off 2nd. I'd say he's still doing a decent job.

If he gets the **** hint now then I might stop slagging him off, but Bruce has got it wrong the last few matches. ETA: I still maintain we should be in a more comfortable position in this league given the squad. He may be doing alright, but there are managers out there that could have done better IMO Edited February 24, 2018 by blunther 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may or may not turn out to be good enough to get us promoted but let’s not rewrite history. Let’s hope a 4-2 win away from home gets us back to winning ways after two poor games. We will have other defeats between now and May. Let’s not panic when we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that in the Mail last week about not being involved in prep for three match, so it could be total bollocks. Agree on on the second point. And hopefully the effect of his first substitution today will teach him not to consistently start lazy, poor footballers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villianusa Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm thinking he may have a wry smile on his face at the start of the post-game interview. Wasn't a team I would have selected, but he made the right subs and we took a lucky victory. #UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 A lot of fans give him a hard time on here. One thing that I have learnt is to reserve my judgement once the game has finished. I still think that he can get us into 2nd. The 7 game run convinced me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m critical when Bruce gets it wrong (this week) but he definitely was a reason we went on that run. He is, rightly, also a reason why we struggled this week (too much caution, players too deep, out of position, wrong choices). But saying we won games because he wasn’t there is very wrong, imho.

Like I say, just reflecting what I read in the Mail about him missing preparation for three matches. We did start to play some football in a couple of those matches which isn’t typical of Bruce’s... style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The starting XI for the last 3 games have been very questionable but we got the job done today. Lets hope Wolves stuff Fulham now, knock the wind out of their sails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
