Be great to be proactive club and bin him off after the Sheff U game. Our Adkins -> Pochettino moment. Yes I completely agree , with this team we should be scoring goals for fun which would help to compensate for the weaknesses in defence , we should be playing football like we did against Brentford week in week out and I think that's only going to happen with a change.

a m ole Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 We should be able to kill off games like that, with the players in our side. One moment that particularly stood out to me was Jedinak chipping the ball at the corner without looking, and then telling El Ghazi he should be out there on the touch line to bring it down instead of coming infield to play football with the midfield. We know it’s a Bruce tactic with Elmo but this guy wants to get on the ball and attack and we still play the ‘soccer’ equivalent of an onside kick? I’m off the fence, I don’t want to set piece our way up and get **** in the Premier League. Such a waste today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our biggest problem, for me - we don't seem to contain attacks that well. Teams will always get a chance against us and it will seemingly always be a really good chance. Yep I agree. I wa saying to the guys next to me that when we make a mistake we normally get punished for it, whereas today there were a few instances where it looked like we got away with it. And then the penalty was given. If we had won today, I would have been happier obviously, as we all would, but I would still feel the result would be papering over the problems.

Johnnyp Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Steve " i just feel we are one or two short at the minute " Bruce. Trouble is Steve, with you at the helm, we always will be. If im sawiris or edens this evening and you've got serious now after the giddy period of acquiring a new club has passed, I'm having someone look through this guys managerial career with a fine tooth comb. From his ridiculous turnover of players at Sunderland, his inability to coach youth players, begrudgingly giving them a game in the first team. List is endless.

Popular Post Lerner's Driver Posted August 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2018 Whether you are for or against him, you have to say his teams don't inspire confidence consistently, either during a match or over the course of a season. Overall, he has a decent win rate and he does get results, but it rarely feels convincing, so you never quite know what's coming next and I suspect nor does he. With him it's always someway, somehow and it's so bloody frustrating because with our resources we should be dominating this league. He's definitely on borrowed time. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, fair play to them. Bruce seems a good guy but he’s not the man to get this team of good players to play the game they’re capable of.

We were all over the place a couple of years ago. He came in and steadied the ship and started us on the road to getting results. I just don’t think he can go to the next level. This is the problem in football in that you don’t seem to sack a manager unless they start being proper shit. It should be ‘job done, thanks for your work, now on to the next’. There’s only Southampton I can think of doing that recently when they got rid of Adkins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really showing us up. Someone mentioned when Southampton sacked Nigel Adkins and hired Pochettino despite Adkins leading them to back to back promotions. I hope our owners can make a bold move like that. Bruce has done a lot of great work for us which is not lost on most of us, but he's not the man to take us forward...even if we do end up scraping promotion. I hope the owners get the right football people in to make that decision and bring in the right man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just saw on Twitter that last season we had 8 points from the same fixtures. One less than we currently have and that doesn't include Wigan who were in League One. We're certainty not in a better position than last season.

PieFacE Posted August 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2018 If our owners ambition is to get promoted then I can't see Bruce lasting much longer. Still unbeaten, but so bad offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, who could possibly argue with that? Playing something like one new player and look a different quality to us. I'll add one thing though, they looks more youthful side to us so maybe they have more energy to play their pressing game? I could well be proven wrong though!

His chief protectors will lay low for a while. Too many frustrated with the loss for them to “reason” with. They’ll be back soon. It will be the fault of the ref and a rash challenge. Ignoring the fact that, while it was a rash challenge and a shaky call, the manager is responsible for making sure we are good enough that one silly moment won’t undo us. That reasoning applies to RDM, but not to Teflon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
