Is this right or a wind up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this right or a wind up? Well he says he needs to be played wide right, so we'll see if that happens. His confidence in Bruce's willingness to play him in position is touching. Lots of people on this site would seem to take a different view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His confidence in Bruce's willingness to play him in position is touching. Lots of people on this site would seem to take a different view. In Bruces interview when asked about him he said "He's a very good player, On the right, on the LEFT, behind the striker" etc. I instantly remembered Snodgrass' interview. lol. He stressed he does not want to play on the left because it's not his natural position and thats why they didn't see the best of him at West Ham. I've actually seen a couple West Ham fans questioning why they got rid of him to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If he is being played on the right then means Elhamody as sub and Adomah sitting in stands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I hope we bring in Ryan Kent as well as some last minute brucie bonus's. In the O'Neill days we always got a last minute "gift" such as super shawn Maloney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm sure he knows a great deal more than me about the game. It's putting it into practice that counts, though, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Reading on twitter and people still seem to think we will make one more signing. I think the club couldnt have been clearer that there are no funds for players. Maybe a loan at best if we have a few departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I realise that's what happens on VT when a manager falls out of favour. That everyone assumes he's some window licking moron that can't tie his own shoes. But I try to take the more balanced view that despite the manager not doing well at the moment and me being pretty much on board with wanting him out, he does actually know a thing or two about football. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Bruce is he's the old school type of manager and the game is changing - new formations and tactics and modern thinking managers with new bright ideas have come into the game and I'm not sure Bruce has moved with the times .

I completely agree. That doesn't change my previous point. If you read the Bruce thread you'd think Bruce needs help putting his shirt on the right way round in the morning.

He was in the youth team and made zero appearances for the first team. I said Bruce had "successfully managed" Snodgrass. That doesn't apply to Hourihane at Sunderland.

Point taken , I think there's a lot of frustration with things at the moment and his criticism of fans has added fuel to the fire . Im sure he's a decent guy really .
