As I said, away goals would have won us the tie. The mistake shouldn't have mattered, but because we couldn't score, it did.
If the away tie was 0 0, Lockeren would have come to the kc needing a different result - so who knows heres one for you - if Brucie had played a full strength team in the first leg, who do you think we'd have played in the next round
You seem to be avoiding my point. Actually, I will answer your question. No, it would not have. It would have drawn us the game. We won the home tie, but had we scored in that game, we'd have gone through on away goals. Nobody is arguing that McGregor didn't make a mistake or it didn't contribute, I said that at the start. The deciding factor was that we failed to score in Belgium and allowed them to score in Hull. McGregor wasn't responsible for us not scoring enough. The whole tie was 120 minutes and Bruce was responsible for getting us through. It didn't. Even at 1-0, in the return leg he could have fielded a much stronger team. Yet he didn't. Presumably McGregor should have picked a stronger starting XI?
he couldn't dum dum. Jelavic wasn't fit enough. We won the second leg with 8 of the players who started the first leg.
Bruce made 9 changes for the first leg and 6 changes for the second leg. If those aren't weakened teams I don't know what are. Proof in the pudding he couldn't give a rats arse about the europa league or what it meant to the fans and the club. He even blew his own trumpet about it all in an interview. It's not really up for contention, Bruce ****ed it up and was happy to do so.
Wah wah wah I wanted I wanted. Of course he wanted ****ing Europe. He can't say in an interview I'm ****ing heartbroken. Greatest ever manager so suck it up boys.
He quite obviously didn't. No he isn't. Phil Browns achievements were a mere stones throw away on a tiny fraction of the budget Steve Bruce had.
I watched the Wolves game on Saturday. They are impressive. Played football that we can oblycdream of watching here . They very much deserve to be streaking away
