    I expect after the defeat that he'll tell us how we can't win if we don't take our chances and 'wa' need time to bed the new players in and 'wa' finished TENTH last year.

    Is it just me or does anyone think he'll be really undignified when the axe falls, and blames the fans and fails to acknowledge the shockingly poor results in.2011?

    I think it's frowned upon playing two keepers.:p

    In all seriousness your club captain should be making his voice heard about playing players out of position. Whickham/ji should be given a chance on sat and let sess play in his strongest position not upfront where he is ineffective.

    I expect Bruce to look like the man under immense pressure that he is..I really hope that he does play 4-4-2, that it works a treat and that it is onwards and upwards for all of us...Ha'way the lads!!!!

    Im expecting a Mike Bassett-esque team talk about how "THE ENGLISH PLAY 4-4-2!!!!" with sess reverted to the wing, Connor to get a start and us to win 2-1. I tend to get this wave of optimism around about Friday time then about 5mins into the game when we're 1-0 down it tends to wilt.

    Kinda get the feelin at the moment Bruce is damned if he does and damned if he dont, if he plays 4-4-1-1 then hes deluded, stubborn, negative etc. however if he plays 4-4-2 hes doing what we all told him to do ages ago. Maybe a continental wingback system (worked great for me on championship manager 02/03) of a el-tel xmas tree formation could spark our revival?

    Either way lads, KTF, 2-1 Sunderland 2moro!!!! Sess and Connor!

    I expect him to still be in a job this time next week, no-one seems to have the nuts right now to do the right thing
