vreitti Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 It's not just about spending another £50M or more. We were 'outplayed' by Burton ffs. At some point you have to start developing an actual game plan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heed a few more winners at the club at the moment two many losers like gardwood but what teams want to let go of winners?.....you have to pick them up from the lower leagues or breed them in your academy. anybody any good, clubs want over inflated prices....thats where we have tripped up so many times in the past.

You are right about the money and yes Burton out grafted us....Cardiff out muscled us, perhaps Leeds too. but players with the right mental attitude with modest talent would be a start......at least we would have something to build on. Game plans are all well and good and I am not knocking them....but when players fail to apply the basics in their game.....plans and strategies go out the window. sorry, but some of our lot ain't got the basic ingredients to play at this level....its harsh, but true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think if most fans had a quite open moment with SB.....you would be shocked what he says about our team. but he can't.....he has to keep a stiff upper lip, a brave face and work to put it right in a discreet way.

I hope we are both proved right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Leeds winning ffs, 5/6th place really is now our Championship. We simply must start winning ASAP and go on a run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted January 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'd rather Leeds win tonight than Derby. Leeds will finish above us. We are battling Derby and others for 6th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Only as it stands 13 points off them, which can easily turn around in a flash in this division, 3rd place is completely up for grabs still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I just honestly cannot see it happening this year- much as it pains me to say it I really don't believe we are remotely good enough. This does not mean I won't be willing us on every step of the way and strange things happen in football - so I'll go with the blind faith until it's no longer possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 our inability to win away games and not put away the home teams will cost us especially now with just McCormack, Gabby up top for a month. Gestede was a poor sale at this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gestede was a poor sale at this time Are you saying not winning games won't get us promoted? I wish our managers knew this at the start of the season Bottom team pulling away from the pack, not a good day even though few teams above lost.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Pretty much no hope now, shocking that no outfield player has been signed by the middle of January while Gestede as limited as he is was sold for about the only month he was needed so we are stuck with a striker who cannot score goals anymore. Shambolic and Lerneresque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'd be more worried by relegation given the standard of football played the past month. It is a common theme in Steve Bruce's career that his sides can go on some terrible runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think this is all probably a blessing in disguise. We need more time to rebuild this team. Promotion this year would result in coming straight back down. Too many players still need to be replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 not getting midfielders and letting go of rudy without getting a replacement has cost us big time in the promotion push Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Any slim hopes I still had of us going up are gone. Not a chance we're getting promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yep, write this season off and start afresh next year with another new squad! We are no way good enough to get into the play offs unless something changes dramatically. I still believe in Bruce. He just needs time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
