I think he knows exactly what he's doing. And that's the problem. If he DIDNT there would be more hope he would change, as he learned. And it is it's now clear as day - if it wasn't before - that no matter WHO we buy Bruce has a way he wants them to play, and they have to fit into that . (Which they don't).

Well he has said in the press he will be looking at things closely, including myself. thats does not indicate the intransigence you suggest. He is clearly miffed at the performances and intends to get to the bottom of it, by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Lansbury and Hourihane bossed it today. This is what happens when we don't lump it over them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Needs to be let off the leash more next season, no good having him sitting deep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Delighted and relieved to see him - and CH - finally used properly today. And the whole team showed signs it will get more from them with time. What a crying shame it's taken until now, at the very least that could've happened once our slim promotion hopes had gone. Anyway what's done is done, just pray it wasn't a one off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yes, good performance. But, how the hell did he miss that header? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Really rate Henri. He is a very intelligent footballer. Bruce has to utilise him better. He has made him too defensive. He isn't a jedinak. He needs to sign a quality dm like Diane and have lansbury and hourihane push up more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted May 8, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2017 Looks so much better and happier in his game when pushed forward. An intelligent player who dare I say it could work very well with Hogan given time together. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the goal he scored v us and several others for Forest he was always running onto balls played through to the striker. It's odd when we've been playing 4-3-3 in any case he hasn't been played purely as the AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the second one was a penalty to be fair, thought the player (Mitchell Clark?) went down very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit this is true, before and when they signed I was lead to believe these guys were attacking minded midfielders who scored goals. Only for them to be almost playing as DM's here ffs!

osmark86 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 "We have to fight week in week out. We have to grind out 1-0 wins and get back to where we want to be.” I sincerely hope the aim is higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) We will at times have to grind out 1-0 wins. Newcastle had to do it five times and Brighton did it six times. Grinding out 1-0 wins is a big part of any team winning anything. I can't be bothered looking up any more teams but it happens in the premiership all the time. It's the team that grinds out the 1-0 wins that wins. What's more Brighton won by one goal 14 times and Newcastle won by one goal 13 times. You do have to battle for points and nobody goes around winning by loads of goals week in week out. Having said all that, wouldn't it be nice if we managed to win by more than one goal. What a dream.

LoughboroughLion Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Looked good today. Think we have the potential for a really good midfield, with this guy being a key distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
