Well this sums it up for me: http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport...osition_in_brighton_and_hove_albion_1_3706395
mignolet bardsley turner bramble richardson ferdinand laing brown o'shea cattermole colback wouldn't surprise me after last night's team selection, bruce needs to get a grip and have a lot more bottle ffs, if we lose the next 2 games which is very possible then he needs to go, no pressure mrs doubtfire
But 2 games time the transfer window will be closed or closing. I have already said I don't think we have any money, but where there's time there's hope. Get a gaffer in quick and give him cash to play with. Sorry Mr Short. It has been expensive but do this and I'll never ask for anything else again. Honest. x
We thought we had no money this time last year. We then broke the club transfer record for Gyan. Fingers crossed mate!
I'm starting to feel a little better as I think about this. Ok, ther's only a week to go, but moves are only just hotting up now. I really don't think SNQ would have spouted off about a record-signing striker if he didn't have a plan. Dear Diedre, am I clutching at straws? x
WTF Chappaz... you started as an out and out WUM and then you sort of mellowed into a smarmy **** stirrer and now you're starting to post decent and articles without discernable sign of needle... Our board must be rubbing off on you Alternativly: Who are you and what have you done with the real Chappaz?
Maybe Bruce keeps going on about not having anyone to score as a nudge to Quinn and Short to bring another striker in? It's the point he keeps emphasising in the media.
3 of us, unless more owned up in the pages after you - couldnt be arsed to read them all. Bruce sees Sess as a striker, and he has stated that several times. He also sees Ricco as a LB and has stated that since beginnging of last season: Elmo at RB? possibly because we dont have another RB at the club? I suppose he could of played ferdinand there, and bramble in the middle. But hasnt Elmo already played wing back for Egypt? Wing back is what he was playing last night. What pisses me off more than the Bruce out comments is the fact that a large number of "fans" saying it never post anything when the going is good and only post negative comments. How many times did newtonlee (and the likes of) post when we were beating the likes of chelsea 3-0 last season? not once from what i recall. never a good thing to say. Those who post regularly, when the going is good and/or bad, I have no gripe with and they can state their opinion if they want Bruce out or not, its the others i cant stand. not a a decent SUPPORTER among them (the clues in the name). I much prefer us to have a bad spell beginning of the season (now) and play well the rest of it than collapse in the middle like the last 2 - cos that really kills team morale.
It's time for him to go. There are some supporters of this fine club of ours who seem to think that loyalty comes with a resolution to stick with a failing ****wit of a manager all the way down to the Third Division. That doesn't wash with me. The club is bigger and better than that, and the red and white stripes will live on long after the likes of Bruce and Black are dead and gone. Bruce is an abject failure, having had more cash to spend than any boss in our history and yet thinks that it's ok to field a team for a cup tie without a striker. He can no longer expect to receive our support. Nor does he deserve it. The performances since January have been barely above abject and the dismal run continues into this season. I quite like the fellah but sorry to say, he's clueless at this.
where were you last season? we had a decent run end of it, which scraped us a top ten finish. last season we also had a run of beating teams like chelsea by 3 goals. injury crisis aside, we would have had a very good season last time around. i'll support bruce until he proves he is a crap manager, and for now he has had circumstances on his side (injuries etc). if we continue our current run (losing against skunks and brighton, liverpool was a good result imo) for the next 4-6 games then I'll start asking questions about his ability. Sess is a striker, and bruce has stated that several times during the pre-season, and he started the game.
Bruce can call Sess a striker if he wants. It's as plain as day that he isn't. If Bruce told you that Michael Turner was a goalkeeper and that Mignolet's best position is on the right side of midfield would you swallow that load of **** as well. Where was I last season? Same place that everyone else was watching us getting our arses kicked every week. Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea. **** all use winning at Stamford Bridge if you can't overcome the likes of Blackpool at home. We managed to overcome a relegated West Ham on the last day of the season and you seem to think it's time to put the flags out.
