    I see maybe 8 points max and that's being optimistic..

    I think we will be right in the **** come the last 3rd of the season.

    It's tactical, we've played poorly against the lower ranked opposition just to lure the "big boys" into a false sense of security so they play their second string against us or take their foot off the gas. Carroll & Gayle will go on a scoring run throughout this run, whilst Yedlin will be a revolution in the number 10 role (as Bruce wants to keep changing players into unfamiliar roles)...or perhaps not!

    6 points out of that lot. You could argue that its 11 games with tough opponents so it's not the end of the world, but the problem is we'd be left with a quarter of the season to almost double our points tally to survive.

    And to do that we'd have to attempt to attack and win games, something Bruce won't ever allow even when we get destroyed by the big boys by playing too negatively.

    They need to sack Bruce in 3 games time because that's the first time he's going to be under real pressure ad our league position will be more accurate at that time... It's been a false position throughout

    My only worry is that the bottom 3 are so bad we might not even drop into it. Fulham are not a good side, we made them look like Brazil 2002 but most other teams in the league will wipe the floor with them - meaning he may not be sacked until its too late!

    Then they will say it wasn't Bruce's fault he was doing better than Benitez until covid

    Lascelles and Saint Max have apparently spoken to Bruce about the football being dreadful and completely incompatible with the squad.

    Our coach is an embarrassment.

    He's the type to get really nasty when confronted. I mean he's been under Ferguson, so he probably thinks that's the way to be, but at a, smaller club it's not the same. You've got to keep your vest players happy or they just **** off and unlike at man united its not as easy to replace them.
