Popular Post lexicon Posted March 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks JV. Right at the tail end of the losing run, I was in half a mind to want Bruce gone and probably would have pulled the trigger if I was the one making the decisions at VP. Shows how much I know! Nice work Mr Potatohead sir. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon to hopefully be included in the list is lambert I'd say he has already done better than Lambert.Lambert started the rot. Bruce has had to rebuild the confidence and the ethos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted March 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2017 Again, you just can't argue with the results. It's a fantastic run of form. Clearly showing i was foolish to panic, glad those at the top didn't. I wouldn't say I'm 100% convinced he will get us promoted but he's clearly doing enough to be given that opportunity. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted March 18, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2017 Things aren't perfect but they are significantly improved and a crucial thing for me is the contribution of the players Bruce has signed to our current form. That I think is a real positive because I think he will carry out more surgery in the summer. I wanted to see momentum over the remainder of the season and right now we have it. We are scoring more (still not enough) and the number of clean sheets shouldn't go without mention. Positive signs even if still some way to go. Roll on the summer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the majority of the transfer work is sorted - maybe 2 or 3 In the summer but will be coming iNto a more settled team and all bodes well for a good start next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need a keeper, centre half and defensive midfied back up maybe one more dependIng on departures - wyness suggested we will be far less active than recent times and I'd hope there's not major surgery needed as it takes time to bed in . the nucleus is there if a good team and needs a bit of tinkering in a couple of positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 5 or 6 will be the number of arrivals and I think if anything it will be more rather than less. But that's for another day, the summer is still some way off but they are already looking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's well and truly won me back around. **** pretty football for the time being, we're winning almost every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they are being ambitious? As in going the extra mile amd trying to sign Prem quality players in advance? Seems we are trying to build a seriously strong squad! As well as youth I would assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then made us worse the longer he spent and really cemented a losing mentality. Anyway that's for a different thread. At the moment Bruce is not making us worse the longer he spends with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further disruption.....when you are trying to build your way back it's brittle and you lose your talisman.....the team had a wobble, losing their main man. its all part and parcel of getting your overall strength back......look at Johnstone and his turn around.
