    Aye, but do the team have confidence in Bruce? Keeper and defence looking fairly solid. Get the midfield sorted! Stop chopping and changing every week. Larsson and Sess wide and bloody 2 up top!! Simples.

    TBF, I know its the fashion to find any stick to beat Bruce with but I have seen nothing at all to suggest the team dont have confidence in Bruce.

    It is the fashion Syd, and i'm as guilty as the next person.....but only in the last few weeks...

    However after a win on Sat....it'll be some light relief for a few days....although there will still be many questions...

    I don't want to knock him, that's why deep down, i still hope (or pray) he will turn it around. I'm not an ardent BoB, more of a, had enough, please sort it out type.

    Just asking the question. However, some players (Gardner, Vaughan) for example must be questionning why they were bought in the first place given the lack of imagination in our midfield at the moment. Not a BOB or BIB, just want us to start picking up some wins.

    I don't think he's lost the dressing room but they looked lost against Fulham and looking over at the bench they could only see Bruce shrugging away and scratching his head. It hardly inspires confidence.

    How can the genius that relegated Birmingham via chopping and changing each and every week be moving in the wrong direction? Sometimes a 'genius' is unable to appreciate such simplicity!

    Our issue is that we have no Plan B, and Plan A isn't working.

    I am still surprised to see some fans think Bruce can turn it around. I was delighted when Bruce came, but the last 2 years....two major capitualtions during the season, not playing ANY strikers at a championship club in the cup game and biggest thing...two home wins this year. I know some fans think changing the manager is not a wise move...give him time etc etc. The simple facts are, we are desperate to win the next couple of games against clubs, that, given the anount of money Bruce has had to build a squad over the last 30 months..we should be beating with ease. But no-one on these forums will be confident we can beat Wigan, Wolves or Blackburn.
    We should replace Bruce as soon as possible to give this squad the best possible chance of turning our sending around. Its just not working under this manager.

    cos the ones saying we think he can turn it around, think other reasons outside of Bruce's control are the major causes of our slump last season and our start this season.

    I think I have stated my case for why numerous times, and I cant be arsed doing so again, its not like you will agree even if I do....

    You want to see a team with no confidence in their manager then I suggest you look at Stoke.

    5 points would be a decent return on those fixtures. Sure they are down at the bottom but Blackburn and Wolves have been a bit unlucky in certain matches!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------


    My feelings are..the only reason behind he failure are his limitations as a manager. He has had money, he has a great owner, chairman, world class training facilities and at the start of his tenure...massive support. Over the last couple of years his decision making either tactically or in the transfer market have brought him to the situation we are in now....facing yet another relegation scrap.

    I'm guessing that they are both on at least £20k+ a week, i wouldn't be asking questions.
