He'd have done the same as he did with the squad he had when he was here, fail miserably because he's a shit manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Did we turn down David Wagner, or did he turn us down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Looking very bad for us this season - mid-table at best but I could easily see us in the relegation battle. Unless Bruce goes immediately it will be too late to turn this around this season (even if we bring in a capable manager - and no faith in that happening). Dinosaur football and a complete utter lack of creativity. Lots on here praising Bruce during the close season but few putting their heads above the parapet now Dismal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I feel sorry for him, Elmo going off injured meant he had 1 less 'tactical' substitution. He could of changed it from hoofball upto Hogan and Gabby to hoofball upto Samba and Gabby...genius. Please sack him Big Tone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Please someone tell me, if a preseason is so vitally important, why the hell did we entrust it to a manager we had had a good look at, who had been extremely disappointing for 36 games with absolutely no signs of improvement whatsoever? We have at best given our opponents a three month head start and at worst a whole season as the damage has already been done regarding first team personnel and we are set for at least another season in the Championship. Or if Bruce stays too long even worse.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted August 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2017 After this turgid display, alas I'm sorry to say that I have succumbed. Piss poor tactics that have been found out time and time again and no idea how to utilise the squad. If anything we've gone worse in terms of our play (apparently we were favourites for promotion don't you know). That's me out. Dr Tony and Keith, over to you.

chrisvilla4 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sorry Steve. I defended you but haven't seen any change. I hate changing managers because we desperately need stability. We also desperately need to go up and at the moment I can't see how Bruce is going to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Absolute garbage Bruce. The first words I posted about him after his debut game v Wolves, Absolute garbage Bruce, nearly 1 year on. He has not improved ONE single aspect of the side. It WAS clear in pre -season and it remains so. In order for him to survive he needs one of 3 things ; a huge amount of luck against Reading / Norwich....or immediate return of Kodja...or somebody to try to coach a system and some attacking ideas. Im not sure any of those are going to happen. It could've been 8 today. We were not only out-fought and out- thought, we were out- footballed. By Warnock. We need to average 2 points per game and score double the goals we scored last year. So we already have s bit of catching up to do with no sign that we're any better than before. Tony can afford to wait another couple of games but not more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretonvilla Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Zero shots on target ! Beyond belief ! Lansbury was always a threat for Forest yet comes to us and does nothing ! Our recruitment and coaching is a complete joke , and Bruce is totally to blame now . What was the sense in getting rid of Baker ? Admittedly he wasn't the best but the replacements are worse !
