Deisler123 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I cant remember we ever played 3/5 defenders system in any game last season and this. From the squad we have, 3/5 defender system seems to be the most suitable so I hope Bruce can deal with the new formation well. good luck Steve for the game ahead. A massive game for him. A massive one for all of us. Edited August 25, 2017 by Deisler123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I just heard him on sky sports and it sounds to me like he taking about the personal abuse rather than criticism of him as a manager. If that's the case then I agree to be honest. The personal insults are ridiculous and almost embarrassing. He should still refrain from mentioning fans though. Edit: he said the 'insults' are ridiculous. Edited August 25, 2017 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not what he said by implication. he said some people think I have spent millions, but i haven't. that was a defensive statement, not a whingeing one. at least get him right.

I didn't hear that just now. He said something along the lines of the abuse / insults were remarkable and ridiculous but his employers are who he listens to and he believes he can turn it around.

Dante_Lockhart Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Why the hell has he changed to 3 at the back!? Is it because of his radio interview where Big Sam asked him about his centre backs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Self preservation excuse mode in full swing ! The end is nigh ! He knows he isn't going to turn it around and get us promoted so he getting his excuses out there for his pals in the media to swallow it up like a bukkake party.... Poor old Bruce no money- unrealistic fan expectations. Never liked him as a player or manager and I can't wait for the day he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I spoke to Michael Appleton in depth about this on numerous occasions, when a manager makes self preserving excuses he knows he isn't the man so will spin a narrative in his favour to gain sympathy with his media chums. @TRO his time will soon be up. It's not about fitting anyone's agenda. He is out of his depth. **** this stability nonsense he has to go asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
