    Unfortunately too many... Not everyone.

    The numbers are there but they just ignore it

    Now those three are very good players. I suppose there is some good players in Scotland.:1980_boogie_down:

    But they usually don’t play for us at any point.

    I'd snatch a few players from Rangers. Proper talent in that squad.

    Actually think a few of the Celtic players are more than good enough for England.

    Because some of us look at the full picture not just a snippet which suits our agenda.

    No you just don't see improvement, ignore the evidence and keep ploughing on regardless because you've got an axe to grind

    BTW it wasn't me I was talking about.

    10th best last 19 (bruce employs Jones)
    7th best last 11

    So then some of us?

    what's the problem now?

    What happened before the problem has been fixed?

    Just answer the question please

    Form is temporary and class is permanent.

    Kenedy played well over a short period such as part of a season but wasn’t able to keep it up. Plenty examples of the same point could be found. Nothing in Bruce’s long managerial record suggests Bruce will keep the limited stats you keep quoting up. In fact his record suggests the opposite.

    If I’m assessing a manager then I look over as long a period as possible taking everything into account rather than a small snippet in time but do pay appropriate consideration of what’s happened recently but without putting my house on it.

    First issue is Willock has now gone. One of the problem fixers has gone so let’s see what Bruce does next to solve the midfield problem before we renew our passports in expectation of European nights.

    Edit. Bruce didn’t employ Jones. You have nothing to suggest it was him.

    Kennedy has nothing to do with the question.

    The problem was performances, but there's no longer an issue performance is there?

    You said you expect top half and since Bruce brought in Jones we've been 10th best.

    Can you just answer the question please?

    Given newcase united have been the 10th best side in the league since Bruce employed Jones what is the problem now?



    Bruce picked willock so that's just another example of Bruce resolving the problem.

    BTW half a season is the full snippet of the current set up... Correct?

    On the contrary I have videos where Jones and Bruce confirm he contacted Jones and chose him before offering the job. It's actually you that have no evidence to the contrary. Please feel free to provide it

    Kenedy is an example of my statement that form is temporary and class is permanent. A point which you painfully failed to pick up on given the rest of what you typed.

    I think we may even have been top 5 in the last 3 minutes of the season but so what.

    If you read carefully all that I have written over the last 2 and a 1/2 days you will find I have answered why Bruce is not the answer numerous times and I have no intention of constantly repeat what I have already said many times just for you to ignore it again.

    I will simply summarise my position by saying one last time that you need to look at the full picture not just the part you like and form is temporary but class is permanent.

    You're saying the problem is that you don't think it will continue?

    Im asking you what the problem is now mate?

    Yes I have no reason to think otherwise unless Jones leaves.

    The player who scored in each of the last 7 games is gone, that's not a reason? <laugh>

    No I’m saying Bruce isn’t a good manager. No it won’t continue. And we shouldn’t be fooled by a brief flash of form.

    We also didn't have almiron max and Wilson for a good few weeks during that period, so it's all to me considered.

    There was 19 games in that period not 7

    The last 7 we were the 7th best performaning side and I don't think that's likley to continue.

    Right now I see no issues.

    Brief?

    Nufc have been the 10th best performing side in the league for the entire duration of the current set up( half a season) . Correct? Yes or no?

    Well so long as you win titles for periods of less than a season that’s me convinced.
