    Bruce for his squad

    Lets judge Howe when he assembles his

    If we go down Bruce will be on Soccer Saturday next year feeding you all the humble pie you deserve.

    He did a decent job keeping this **** side in the league twice finishing 13th, 12th and had two lengthy cup runs

    It wasn't good enough though

    I don't like him but it was always the players and in the end the other clubs got better

    Why do you keep ignoring his start to this season?

    Aha you want to ignore a level scale and instead hold out to judge based upon a rigged scale

    It was poor but its been no better since he left.

    It's quite simple... The fans were wrong it's the players not the manager

    Looks like a statement to me not a question. Is that your question?

    I disagree

    I agree that the squad is mince, but he's partly responsible. Obviously Ashley was the problem but Bruce was no good at all

    I said before. You did this with Rafa. You judged Bruce and Rafa, saying Bruce was as good as Rafa and did the same job as Rafa despite having Joelinton, ASM, Wilson, Willock, Fraser.

    Bruce didn't have Rondon or Perez so we can only compare the fact he finished 12th a position higher than rafa.

    Simple question

    Did you blame Bruce or the players last season?

    I mean ffs lads why not just say you hated Bruce and no matter what me did you'd find a way to discredit him.

    Anyone would do better than Bruce? Obviously not

    I blamed Ashley, Penfold, Players, Bruce and PL. I blame the same for this year but understand Ashley's reasons for not spending with what was going on in the background.

    The answer to your actual question although I’m sure it’s not the one you think you’re asking is, yes.

    Mate I just know for a fact what went on and won't yield ever.

    I hated Bruce but he did OK and since Howe came in results haven't improved.

    That tells me it was the players all along

    I hated him yes, for me he had to prove himself more. He didn't. End of story. Put him in the bin with Dogleash, Gullit, Mclareb

    I just hope it works out because if we go down it's Howe's fault mate he's had enough time and he'll be getting coin.

    No.

    Read what your question is actually asking.

    Yes, I do remember.

    In Bruce's defence - Nobody but nobody gets put in the bin as deep as Kenny like.
