There must be a lot of clubs who have made even worse signings and coached them even more poorly, I guess. So after over 12 months in charge and millions of £££ spent - are you suggesting we should be heaping praise on Bruce for reaching the heady heights of 6th in the championship ? Not for me i’m Afraid - he’s going to have to do a tad better than 6th to win me over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s comments of this broad, strategic quality that remind me why I stay away from the thread. Sticks and stones will break my bones but attempts to mock me will never work.

I've always felt pretty confident that it's take more than a stick or a stone to break any of my bones. Mocking me actually has more of an impact as it makes me feel a bit sad. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decided in fitting with anyone that doesn't think Steve Bruce is brilliant, that I shall blame him for not being a better poet. Bruce out!

Oh really, should I go back and dig up the comments around the Middlesboro cup game, or maybe even just the latest ones plotting out how we're going to lose the next 2 or 3 and then sack the Manager?

Ok. I'm confused either way. How can that possibly need explaining? And how could it be so offensive as to prompt someone to tell me to "do one"?

rubberman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Thank goodness it's back to football and having an actual result and performance to discuss. International breaks really are tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for feeling for me, really needed that, what a life winner you are. I'm well aware of the opinion of both camps, and there certainly isn't any widespread view on here wanting us to loose just to get rid of the manager. I myself want Bruce gone, the sooner the better, simply because I don't think results thus far have been good enough, and I don't think they'll get any better, nor do I see him getting us promoted. Never in a million years do I however ever want us to loose any game, irrespective of who's in charge. Regarding Bruce I've sadly reached the point where I don't look forward to games anymore, due to the fact that the football is so utterly dreadful. I'm glad for y'all that are still able to enjoy this turgid crap and useless manager, but I'll certainly keep "moaning" until we've actually turned a corner. Terribly sorry if that offends you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that some people would rather be right and see us lose than be wrong and see us win. They have nothing to moan about then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This video about MON and the Irish is pretty spot on about the issues I have with Bruce. 2 in some manners very similar managers (and totally different in others) with similar flaws. What they talk about around the 5 min mark with players not quite understanding their roles in the system and the 9 min mark and on where he talk about how Harry Arter can look so good at Bournemouth but when with Ireland he just hoofs the ball are my 2 biggest issues. The second point partly explains how people can look comfortable and composed on the ball at other clubs but look like amateurs with us. Looking from the outside for me it comes down to coaching, just like it does for Ireland with MON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
