OK.... We get it Tro you like him... And we get it that you don't like him..... but for 2 lousy weeks can't you drop it and just give your team 100% support. Just watched the highlights and you could see the unwavering support from all the away fans so you can add another 2000 people to @TROs survey sample.

Well I’ve just got home and having been with a huge variety of fans since about 10a.m I have to say I didn’t hear a single negative comment about Bruce, and the chanting of his name was as loud as it’s ever been. Is that representative enough ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Perfect game plan today. To go away in a semi final and win 1-0 against a buoyant team and stifle them to a few half chances is fantastic. If only the Snodgrass shot had gone in! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this is not over confidence but Boro have to score twice (or pens) with no reply - for the likes of Real Madrid that is not an issue but a Pullis team with one outlet who we nullified, I honestly think it is beyond them. I'm not a Bruce champion, but he will probably get us to the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you read what my post was in response to....which was someone saying TRO was maybe exaggerating the support Bruce gets in real life as opposed to on the Internet from some......I was just pointing out that the support was there. What happens in the future is in the future. I also mentioned the absence of negative comments, and I’ve experienced that all season, very very few fans at games want Bruce out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Since the Boxing Day fiasco we have undoubtedly grown as a team and much of that is down to Bruce although I think the return of Grealish has been the major reason for improvement - Bruce has probably done enough to retain his position here whatever happens in the next game or 2 . in fact had Grealish and kodjia not had long term injuries I think we would be up already and enjoying the party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Never dreamed i'd ever say this but.. Bruce should remain what ever happens. I think he is probably our best bet at both going up or staying up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is probably our best bet at both going up or staying up. For me, its all about the players.....you have to have the players. BUT Steve Bruce has created the mood and the platform, He brings in the right characters to blend in to a team.....He makes the decisions to keep a well oiled machine functioning.He creates the balance, necessary. but He relies on human beings to do the job. I have never seen Steve as a coach in the sense of the word, I see him as a Manager that embroils much more and keeps the whole thing galvanised. I think the cohesion of the club would very much miss him if he went. Edited May 13, 2018 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
