Don't start going all Chaos on us! Take a good look in the mirror, give yourself a hard slap around the face, have a stiff drink, and relive the 5-1. And then breathe.
Taking a team from 6th (play off position) to 11th (proper mid-table) in just 4 games is a real skill. It requires a level of consistency that West Brom simply didn't have prior to his appointment.
“We will soon see. What happens in the dressing room stays there but we have to do more, and in particular you have to have the ability to roll up your sleeves a bit more and show something – especially when you go a goal behind,” Bruce indicated.
“I have only been here two or three weeks. I saw things to be pleased about in the first-half, but the one thing I have learned from the second half is change - change is difficult for them.
They have played a certain way and to try and implement change is something I will look at too. I probably took them out their comfort zone when we were chasing the game in the second half, but I wanted players on the pitch who could maybe score a goal.”
And there is it “The away form is something we have to address. If we are going to make a fist of it, we have to address it. Forget about the flannel, the b******t. We have got to have the ability to roll up our sleeves and tear into what the Championship is. “If it’s happened for months that is why I am here probably.”
We have to repeat that [first half]. The games I’ve watched before I walked through the door, there was never one where there seemed to be a complete 90 minutes,” Bruce added.
Watford the ones most likely to win tonight. If they do it's squeeky bum time for us again lol. We really need as much points on the board as possible before our final 4 games.
Burnley losing would be a big plus, so we'd have 5 pts advantage with them only having 1 game in hand. Burnley have a solid defence. Heart saying Spurs will nick it 1-0. Head says 1-1.
I flipped through about half a score predictor from the Chron. If I was an Everton fan, I’d be ****ting myself. Poor manager, sheeps heart players. Palace also have some tough fixtures. Norwich for all the goodwill just don’t have the quality. Brentford the same. Burnley may get out of it, but Watford again are just really poor. Is Hodgson bothered enough? Villas bounce has gone, Brighton have wobbled, If we can get a few points THEN welcome back Wilson, Trippier and ASM - the squeaky bums are everybody else.
Yeah, howay Spurs, Liverpool and Palace.* *Hopefully this is a complete one-off and I never need to post that ever again.
