The Steve Bruce appreciation thread

And the owner

 

And Mike Dean

 

Look at Brentford: trying to win games. Interesting they are winning when that’s what they try and do.

Bruce is constantly getting it wrong. Playing 5-4-1 with no actual players to play that. Playing a dm at cb while having 2 on the bench. He’s on another level of stupid.

 

We had look at Sheffield United not long ago.

Its still early, but it's not looking good.

4 points before Leeds and Watford would have been acceptable.. Its still on.

My god the negativity really is bad atm.. I accept why but let's not act like we didn't watch a good game last night... There's some hope there still

 

You could say it was a good game because it was end to end: fact is the amount of shots indicates two teams who have no clue how to defend.

Backed up by only two goals. And the lack of quality in finishing was beyond terrible.

Leeds had about 4 guilt edged chances that on another day would have scored.

And Bruces words man. He’s happy with a point even though if results go against us today we will be BOTTOM and you know the worst part about that.

It doesn’t surprise any of us!

 

You said it was boring football this time last year... The game was entertaining that's a positive surely?

All the talk was about how great Leeds are and why can't we be like them... Did nufc match them? I'd say so.

What Bruce actually said was he was pleased with the way they responded to going a goal down and was pleased to get a point. Missing the 1st part makes it sound worse.

What do you want him to say? It was a **** game and I wasn't pleased with anything?

He's not a good manager that's it.. All the nit picking is exactly that... You'll pick at every single thing he says or does and twist it to suit..

It didn't change even when the side was doing well.

 

I’ve never said boring football. I’ve said crap football. There’s a difference.

 

Just have to accept that he’s a **** manager. A horrible person and he’s currently taking us down.

Everything else is just bollocks.

 

It wasn’t a “good” game per se as opposed to an “enjoyable watch” game because two not very good teams were wide open and making mistakes.

But I agree. There’s plenty time later to be negative. So we might as well leave being negative for later.

The amount of times I've heard why can't we be like Leeds though..

You can't keep the crowd happy.. There's literally nothing Bruce can do... When it was boring and getting results the fans moaned it was boring.


I enjoy the match and I enjoyed West ham..... There's still some hope mate.

I still think there's a chance they'll beat Watford

 

Yes I’m there is something Bruce can do. Get it right. Get some results or my favourite option, **** off:

 

He has had results though mate let's hope he can prove you and the entire fanbase wrong a 3rd year running

I wish he wasn't here, but he is and im just trying to be fair.

Right now he deserves criticism but not all the time .

 

Who gets the credit for the tactical change. When we went from 5-4-1 to 4-5-1.

 

Does it really matter?

 

Yes.

 

Why?,

 

Because I would like to credit the person who made the call.

 

And what difference does that actually make?

 

I credit Jones with the decision.
