Bruce coming back would be a huge step backwards

We need a modern coach. (If Shota goes) You can spend all the money you want on players but ultimately in the modern game it’s the best investment you can make imo. Coberan and Jones last season at Luton and Hudds respectively proved it. Spent close to **** all and finished top 6. Forest spent millions and millions in recent years chasing promotion and have done it on the back of bringing in a top gaffer who got more out the group that had been failing with previous managers.

There is a difference between being fit and being match fit. Same in any sport, particularly at a professional level. A couple of weeks off is enough to take the edge off your performances. It’s not so much physical fitness but also mental sharpness and confidence.

Sorry but I played sport at a high level. You are either fit for the sport you do or not. You should not be picking up your wage if you are unfit to perform your job.

"It's not easy of course, if you want to feel better you have a chance soon to get back on the field and change things that we don't like, make things positive and get some points," the Tigers' boss told Hull Live ahead of the journey to South Wales.

"We haven't got any points in the last three games but this is the last game before the break and we have the opportunity to react.

"In the last three games, if you counted, you would see many mistakes, you could see my mistake as well. Everything you do before the game is generally right and then the game shows you, your reactions, your changes during the game.

"We didn't create too much (against Stoke). We weren't aggressive (enough), especially for a home game, we could do much more offensively, we didn't have too many creative players. I tried to change it at half-time with the wing-backs, and the second striker, but altogether, it didn't work out.

"I would start with Pelkas for example, even though he had only three training sessions, maybe (Ryan) Longman. Someone will always play not as well as you wish. When you have a bad game, it's not about one player or two players."

Arveladze admits that being without players like Allahyar and Benjamin Tetteh while not having Dogukan Sinik, Adama Traore and Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand unavailable is also causing problems.

"We wanted to be more offensive on one side like we've done before with Ally (Sayyadmanesh) with Longman, we've done with other boys to make the wing-backs more attacking, you think your centre-backs will be more effective in this shape and can help more.

"You expect them to do more, and more from the strikers and the number ten. We tried to change this at half-time but it can be too late and it was too late.

"We've had some boys that have not been fit enough to start and that gives you a headache, how long can they play, how much can they do and you as a coach can make a mistake.

"I'm not here to point fingers at people. We can't wait for a reaction. We have to act and not react. We've been reacting to our opponents in the last three games.

"It can be being more aggressive, it can be braveness. I don't want to make excuses, but we have lost more creative players with speed and power, more creativity.

"At the end of the day, it's my responsibility and I have to work on it, that's the way it is."
