Popular Post TheStagMan Posted October 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2017 But but Bruce has FOUR promotions on his CV. Four. Its just lunacy to suggest we should get rid of him, when what we should do is write off this season, give him another £50m to spend, and another pre-season. Thats the only way to do thing. Changing manager would just be stupid as we would lose all the progress we have made under Steve Bruce's heroic management to date. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its fine to know what our problems are but before we hype Wolves they have had a few shots at it over the years. We have all made mistakes.....its just recognising them and dealing with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i dint have any complaints with what he said there. Wolves were a lot better than us and deserved the win. Was humble in defeat. Tactics were abit too negative for me, but that was probabky wolves best performance of the season. Too many of our big players were poor today. With kodjia being the most guilty person 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluded if they do. @markavfc40 even said Grealish had potential to be head and shoulders above anyone in this league. Wonder if he still feels that way after watching Nunes and Jota. I think some fans think we are better than we really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish on his best day is nowhere near as good as jota. I would say wolves are in a differwnt catergory alone then you have the nezt tier of cardoff Leeds preston us etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different calibre of manager to Bruce. Wolves mean business. Makes me sick!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Mendes Quote Jorge Mendes, is a Portuguese footballagent.

That £16m midfielder, Neves, is on the list. Jota, scorer of the first goal and on loan from Atletico, is another. You can see the pattern already...

TRO Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I think it takes time to get a team playing the way you want.....and that depends on who you inherit and who and how many you need to bring in. We have had a mess to sort out and that is why we have the manager we have. This league is also a physically demanding league that requires players who can function in it. I understand that many of our players have played in the premier league and have to acclimatise to that and deal with it, we have just won 4 games on the bounce albeit against lowly opposition and that was evident the way they physically man handled us. my view was when we play the better teams, we will be allowed to play more and exhibit our reputed skills......so you can possibly understand, that i felt as low as a snakes belly watching that..... we don't pass, we stretch and poke it in to someones feet, its poor....we panic balls to each other, there is no composure, from one week to the next. something is wrong with us.....it was substandard play today. there are times when i watch us and think they ( the players)have only seen Bodymoor heath on a post card.
