Mantis Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I think the media owe us an apology. We wouldn't embrace Bruce the way we have if we cared so much about our manager formerly being at SHA.

AvfcRigo82 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Now, I was totally unhappy about the appointment and I will be first to stand on the firing line and admit that. But so far, 4 pts from 6 is a bloody good start, but let us not get carried away. If we can keep the momentum up and build on this then hopefully we will keep going upwards. Never thought I would say this, but well done lads & the manager. Superb result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Let's not forget Roberto Di Matteo had the same points tally after his third game in charge. I didn't see the game but to follow up after such a poor first game with a win is encouraging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 7 hours ago, Richard said: Seriously ? The team that finished bore no resemblance to the team he picked. Dodgy selections at full back, dodgy selections in the middle and no Ayew . Ayew comes on and guess what we look threatening. A last minute penalty does not disguise the fact we were poor for most of the match and his team selections were crap. i am , however, delighted we have won we need more of those to keep us away from relegation I admit I only listened to it on the radio but we sounded more organised and had the better chances from what I heard. I assume you must have seen the game? as for his team selection. I don't care what it is as long as we get results. We could have played Ayew from the start and lost. How about we give the manager some credit for trying something different? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U did 30% possession last night.....and that is deemed as tactical. We got the right stats 2 goals and 3 points. Happy for us to not have possession because we're pretty crap with it anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally made-up. It's absolute fucknig BS. Bruce is a former Birmingham City manager, who was unpopular with some when appointed. So, with that in mind, the article covers its own arse but yeah, I see what you're getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
