DCJonah Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Good win and sounded like a good performance. I think top 2 is unrealistic right now but hope we can stay in the playoff spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Seems once we conceded we turned it on and ended up being a very strong performance which should've seen more goals. A great 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villianusa Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Another good win. He still has us on course for a chance of promotion. Still, a long way to go. To win, after receiving the news about our forwards this week will give the players a boost to move on and do it without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Gave him a very good rating for first time. The team showed fight. They held the ball. Selection and substitutes were justified and we played well for the whole game. Fair play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted November 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2017 20 mins in, was going to type how much I'm fed up with Steve Bruce, but then we turned it on. Jan window massive for him, get that right and he can become a legend - well nearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 3 games left it would be unrealistic but with 29 games left anything is possible and i do not see sheff utd staying the pace . Nice to see JT in his tracksuit at the game today too - team spirit is improving and today we played well Edited November 18, 2017 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's a really brilliant way of proving Steve Bruce is a poor manager. And it keeps this wonderful debate going. So many reasons... Proof he's a poor manager? That case is closed .

terrytini Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 A far more positive approach from Bruce - for about the 5th or 6th of the last 8 games - pays dividends. When he adds positivity to the resilience and teamwork he has fostered we look good ( as indeed we should). If we keep that level up or somewhere near we might just do it.....our Form over the last 10 games is 2.2 points per game which would get us an Automatic Promotion place........I’m not convinced we will maintain it ( this was another lower half side) but there was enough good about today to at least hope we might. Great to see us not retreat following the loss of Kodja and Terry....a plus for Bruce there as well. By this time next Saturday we might, just might, be in a breakaway group. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But closing the gap at the top of this league seems a really difficult thing to do. The gap has stayed the same since the end of the transfer window. I just don't think we are consistent enough to close that gap. Also rely on teams above us consistently losing, which doesn't look likely. Our poor start really did put a dent in the club's initial target of automatic promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I have to say, he was bang on the money today...that was a superb performance. Steve has been fortunate in the sense that injuries have forced him to play a certain team & formation. I hate to say it, but could I be that 4-5-1 without Kodija is our best set up? On today's evidence it would seem So, we obliterated QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
