villianusa Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Difficult game to manage. The conditions and ref were bad, but the manager and players should have done better today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Bruce is at his very weakest when he has to make changes or react. Unfortunately, the back patting and the calling out of those who question some of Bruce's decisions now looks ever so pathetic. Because the same.is happening again, when we need to change something he loses grip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, I think Bruce is made for playoff situations. Not so sure. We got into 2nd and immediately **** it up. We beat the league leaders and then immediately **** it up. I don't have much faith that we can do it for 3 consecutive games against other top 6 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Four strikers, take off both wingers, leave the supply all down to Grealish. Tactical genius. I don't care how many games we won in a row earlier in the season. He's failing as a manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Totally on Bruce today! His tactics were awful and it summed him up on 70 minutes when the camera was on him. Puffing his cheeks looking totally clueless. I want him gone once our stay in the champions is confirmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Warnock is a better manager than bruce without question in my opinion. Warnock would have us comfortably second with this squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True snodgrass should have been taken off at half time, every free kick and cross he couldn’t beat the 1st man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 We only went on our good run after Agnew arrived. The things I always disliked about Bruce returning to the fore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Tactics were extremely poor today, having 4 strikers on the pitch at the end is just ridiculous. No clue at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) He should of gone long ago in my eyes as to me it is blatantly obvious he is incapable of building a team. He hits these purple patches of good results shit performances then patches of shit results shit performances. Common denominator being we are painful to watch 80% of the time. It's very easy to get carried away when results go well or bad. But as I said in the match thread it was obvious to me his limitations a year ago and I've wanted him out ever since.
