villakram Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 39 minutes ago, Nigel said: If hull finish above us I'll be shocked Ya, their model is a bit weird in that it's entirely dominated by goals scored, conceded and results and appears to take no account of player or manager ins/outs. Whatever weighting they've applied clearly favors the recent prem teams. Be interesting to see how they fair across all the european leagues regardless. I wouldn't underestimate Slutski, but ya I'd be surprised if he got them playing that well that quickly and there aren't many over-estimating Bruce at this stage.

VillaAlex Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Yep, out of interest when was the last time we won a league game by 3 goals, like Cardiff did today? Off the top of my head all I can think of is that dreadful Rotherham side and going back even further probably Sunderland? What a dreadful club we have become.

DCJonah Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We haven't played football once under Bruce that looked like it could be consistent enough to get promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 What were people expecting?! Our problem last year wasn't the defence it was scoring goals. So what have we done? Bought two defenders in (Terry/Samba), a defensive midfielder (Whelan) a box to box midfielder (Onomah) and one winger (Elmo) who is arguably no better than Adomah. No focus has been given to our actual problems - weak midfield and impotent attacking threat. Nothing's changed. Miles off Promotion, playoffs or otherwise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager who had a plan. It didn't work so he tried a couple of different things. Set the team up differently for different games. We have Bruce who is probably trying to find out who we're playing next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I don't care what people say. But if we are still losing after 5 games, you can kiss promotion goodbye with Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We can do this. Requires action and a new manager in place by the end of September at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
