holteend1982 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I don't overly care about tonight's result, looking at the line up I'm not too sure Bruce was either. A comftable win with a fresh squad over the weekend and no one will care about this result but if its another dead performance I think he might start to come under a bit of pressure.

eholm Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Now I know many here will hammer me for this. However, I would accept us losing on Sat if it meant Bruce was sacked afterwards. Sacrifice 3 points to ensure we actually have a chance of developing a real team with a real identity. Maybe im just suggesting something that others are thinking and I know I will be criticised for wanting us to lose. Much as nearly going bust has made us a much stronger club, losing 3 points on Sat could very well make us a much better team under a new manager......

I get that and btw I am not fussed on Bruce in or Bruce out, but out of interest, who would you hire that matches the criteria that interests you?

HeyAnty Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Its not the result that should get Bruce sacked tonight. It was his line-up, players having no coherence with each other and then the subs he made. Sunday league stuff Edited August 28, 2018 by HeyAnty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop looking at this match tonight and the game against Yeovil as sticks for the manager's back. I'm not calling for his head, although if the results don't improve in the league I will be. Also we need a CB. We beat Yeovil and lost to Burton in a meaningless competition. Sure if we were sitting comfortably in the premier league we might have a go, but no one cares about the league cup. We beat Burton in a friendly in a match of basically the same significance. On aggregate we won. And we are, like it or not, unbeaten in the league. Its funny you say that, because it was their chance to play a good game and possibly get game time in the league, so if they couldnt give a monkeys about this game, its the wrong players that we have at the club.

Hoof hearted Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Oh dear. Not reading any comments in this thread, I value my sanity. Lose the away support you lose your job. Simple. He's teetering and there is absolutely no defending that tonight, mismanagement of the highest order. Just woeful. Buh Bai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Bruce has said he gave chances to those knocking on his door and they let him and the fans down Apologised to the fans said bree and axel were on players who played well tonight. Bree was motm according to Bruce at cb Mcginn grealish and kodjia all have injuries\knocks seemed very cheesed off when asked about the penalty miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with that "debate" is that we don't know what market the owners will be looking at. For example there is no point suggesting Brendan Rodgers if the owners need a short term fixer to get through the season. But if they have a 5 year plan that includes big investment in players, coaching, etc - then there might be a project to sell that beats winning title after title in Scotland (after all not many managers get the opportunity to "do a Man City").

I never thought I would ever utter them but a scraped win on Sat will be yet another stay of execution for Bruce. Tin hat is surgically attached to head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
