We play like shite, but scrape a point -> Slags off fans after we get a poor 2-0 win against poor opposition -> then fans are way less patient when it comes to total horror shows like Saturday Not really, in my eyes. I don't take it as he is slagging me off.....The fans is a generalisation of many opinions.....I think he said a "mad few" That's not me or you.....or folk on this board.

chrisvilla4 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 No real signs of progress. It's the same turgid, unispiring football which isn't getting us results. With the players we have we should be Lions and not Kittens. I don't know what's going on but I don't like it. Put Steve and us out of our misery. Please.

TRO Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Blues would turn us over at present such is the low level of aggression in our side. Not saying Aggression, Conviction, energy or intensity....is be all and end all.....you have to have technical ability too. but if you haven't got much of the above, you ain't going anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 From Experience.....Owners rarely act when the fans expect them to. Its usually a delayed reaction. They will be examining all the elements and will make their move, when possibly we least expect it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in his mind, anyone who wants him out is "mad" and he is trying to play it down by saying its just a "few" Now you have joined the #BruceOut lot, he is talking about you and pretty much everyone on this board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO - the manager always gets a couple more games than the fans expect - I would be surprised if he were still there after the preston game.

Popular Post jjaacckk91 Posted September 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2018 Vassell on SSN saying he thinks Bruce is the right man( because he can't see anyone better coming) Then goes on to say we have got some quality players and the problem is players playing out of position, and not getting the most out of players because they aren't in the right positions. Sounds like the manager to me Darius. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will get the next three games unless we get another Shef United type battering. We play Friday, Tuesday and Saturday then there is a two-week international break. To save his job he will need 6-7 points. But with two games away I can't see us getting more than 4. To get automatic promotion you need two points a game. That should always be the yardstick. We are currently at 1.44. I think in 3 more games we will be around the same. Mid-table form and we haven't played a top 6 side yet (besides maybe Brentford) he will have to go.

What he says in his post match pressers is almost always a biproduct of the pish he serves up on the pitch, so I do care what he says, these little comments about us "thickos" are little nails in his managerial coffin and I pray the owners aren't buying them for one second like his press pack mates are.

I’ll try and answer this and hopefully not get drawn into some better fan argument. For me it would depend on whether they already have an idea on who they want to bring in. Lose on Friday, sack Bruce, no one lined up as a replacement - no thanks. Lose on Friday, sack Bruce, a replacement has already been sounded out in anticipation (along with an idea on back room staff etc) - yeah ok, I probably would take a defeat. It would be annoying that the defeat is against Lee **** Johnson. I think Bruce will be here until the next international break anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never wanted him, never thought he was good enough. My youngest son is a Sunderland supporter, so I had all the information I needed about Bruce's `management skills'.

Absolutely. He needs to get out. We're done with him here. We struggle to win any games and we draw or lose far too many. Wins are pointless as they're followed by dropped points, and all they're doing is prolonging his pointless continuation in the role. The sooner he's gone, the sooner we can start to get promoted. Until then I don't care. I don't care if we win because we're not going up, and I don't care if we lose because we're not going down. Our results under Bruce literally don't matter at the moment. 16 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
