If he can’t rack up the points here, he surely has to go. I don't think we need to see anymore.....the time has been given. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the bigger picture, not the last result or 2. completely agree, even if he won the next two games before the break the writing is already on the wall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need to see anymore, nor do many on here. But I fear the board will stick with him if we manage to pick up six points from the next two games.

Guest av1 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It shows just how shit this league is that we are only 6 points off the top. I don't care that the squad is unbalanced, a half decent manager would have this team competing for top 2. We won't get a better chance than this. If he is replaced now and the new guy can bring in a CB a LB, and a GK in January we are still very much in the race. It needs to happen soon.

mikeyp102 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Bruce has a history of just doing enough to stay in the job, especially when it seems certain he’ll be gone he puts a little run together. The next two are relatively easier games so I can him winning those to somehow stay safe again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely would hope that the board have assessed his performances over the last 2yrs, not the next 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have a point.....but as opposed to the owners.......we the fans have seen the pattern, he has been given enough time for your claim to be bona fide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to go before the end of the international break its essential if we are to go up this year. It's so frustrating chap. If we played to our abilities from day one we would be pissing this league. No one is proving themselves to be promotion favourites at the moment, other than maybe West brom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I would hope so too. But then if that is the case, I don’t see why he’s being given the next two games at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 The fact we are above Birmingham by one place who've won once all season just shows how terrible we have been. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honest_bertie Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 What anoys me most is that bruce is lowering and has been lowering expectations ever since he’s been here, i’m sick him and his self preservation retoreic. So much so that i now almost dont care if we win or loose, i want some hope but instead i just feel apathy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce out Even if Pulis was available, I wouldn't want him. Yes he's better at getting results but I'm just so tired of the turgid football we've had to put up with for all these years. I don't expect us to go after some dogmatic tiki-taka manager, but someone who isn't stuck in the 70s/80s and who isn't afraid to try and win games sometimes is a must. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I am watching rotherham v Stoke.....watched WHU v Man U. it doesn't matter who i watch or at what level......i do not see teams closed down as easily or as often as we are. something is drastically wrong with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Believe it or not it was interesting listening to Stephen Warnock talk about Mourinho earlier, and how his Man Utd team is a reflection of him. He was using Chelsea as a good example, describing how the team from the Conte era hasn't changed drastically, yet the way they play football has improved immeasurably. It just made me think about the potential in this team, and how we just need a better manager to realise that potential. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Its just so bloody ironic that as soon as an opportunity,presents itself, like this league at the moment......we can't capitalise. we just seem so bloody predictable in just about every aspect of the club.

Our run doesn't look poor enough to the outside, and sacking him is too expensive. Not enough pain yet for the new owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
