They're not great but absolute dogshit is over the top. They're hardly whipping boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Another half like that and Bruce will have earned a stay of execution but more importantly, might have learnt to trust his players and not go so defensive in the future. All theoretical for the time being but I think you'd all agree that wouldn't be such a bad eventuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Yes we are winning but we still can't put 2 passes together. Bruce needs to go regardless of result. It's a pretty poor Barnsley team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm happy with the result but the possession stats sum up the problem. Against better teams they will make punish you with that much possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 In the spirit of showing some fairness. He's averaged 2 points over the last 4 games and has gone with a 442 attacking team. Against Boro I wanted to lose, today I've celebrated the goals like mad. I seriously hope he doesn't revert back like after Norwich. Davis/kodjia partnership might keep him in here a while longer yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadoftrinity Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Couldn't care less about possession stats, I've enjoyed today's game and like 4-4-2 with our players so let's hope he sticks to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis/kodjia partnership might keep him in here a while longer yet Whilst I agree with what you've said - particularly in respect of him finally picking a more positive side - I'm afraid I've seen nothing to suggest that overall anything will be any better. A good win, in a game we SHOULD comfortably win. Pleased for the fans who went .... my tickets on the mantelpiece.... couldn't face it. But whilst it's a good win I'm certain in the long run it will harm not help us. If I'm wrong, great. But I'm certain I'm not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Ok to be fair to Bruce this has been pretty comfortable result and touch wood it's 3 clean sheets in a row. Maybe there is still some (false) hope for the season under Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
