TRO Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 11 hours ago, VillanousOne said: I don't see any reason to actually hate Bruce, he says the right things, he seems to understand why we are failing, he seems to care, he even changes the team to try and counter these issues, sometimes those changes pay off, but any form or improvements are never sustained, the idea of form and momentum is too often short lived. As much as we have ever managed under Bruce was last season when through fairly unappealing football we ground out results and were difficult to defeat, sadly that didn't last and to make matters worse we don't score goals and we can't concentrate for 90s mins in order to not concede them. It will be great to have Kodjia back, but we can't hang all our hopes on one player again. its as i have said earlier......progress is graph featuring a gradual rise......not peaks and troughs.

I genuinely think I could do a better job than Bruce. I'd study the opposition, work out how they play and set my team to counter it and also play to my teams strenghts. Incidentally enough, my plans don't involve letting the opposition have 60% of the possession and using Hogan as a target man. We all say that.....but the first morning, there would probably be a heap of steaming dung on the training ground as a result of the forthcoming anxiety. Just the thought of being responsible for a 10 mill transfer would have me running for the Hills. Despite our frustrations, sometimes we are all a bit blaise.....It isn't easy for any manager.....one of the reasons they get paid so much.

Jareth Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Bruce believes what he says. He believes that football is alchemy and that if you get enough talent on the field that it'll just work - and it has worked for him 4 times before. In all honesty it might yet actually work in a game or two's time, but it does hammer home how little effect he has on the team short of being a 'man manager'. I have this feeling that he's going to get a little lucky soon and prolong the pain for this thread indefinitely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have heard the quips from managers over the years (much better than Steve Bruce) say....." you are only as good as your players"......thats nothing new. its a paradox Edited September 15, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 As my money is helping him live the life of a millionaire I really do wish he'd do me the courtesy of addressing my concerns rather than telling me I'm hysterical. Very poor Mr Bruce. Hope you are out the door this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 To be fair to Steve Bruce.....He has to defend himself. and anyone who wants him out are unlikely to be fervent listeners to his claims, are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
