People expect more from the 'team' because of the position we are In - Brucie starts with the same set up that cost us the first two goals against Chelsea, then he changed it after 10 minutes and we start playing better- he then he does it again against Swansea and that costs us the first two goals, then he changes it at half time- he just seems tactically inept - and the players - only Macca seems to really care, seems to put a shift in - you can argue for one or two others but lack of chasing the ball down, running after a player if they're beaten, poor passes, failure to try and win it back and lack of fight shows a lack of effort and lack of commitment to the cause - it is Brucies job to motivate the players - it's also Brucies job to maintain discipline on the pitch - how many reds have we been shown this season - some were inevitable, such as Chester against Stoke but some were just stupidity, such as Huddlestone against Leicester and Ramirez against Tottenham - I don't think there is a backlash - it's just a culmination of everyones frustrations - things that people could see were going wrong throughout the season but haven't been addressed and continue week in week out - I know it's easy to blame the players, I know because I'm Juniors worst critic, but others blame Macgregor, Meylor or Davies for poor performances - but at the end of the day, Brucie picks the team and Brucie is responsible for tactics, team selection, motivation, performance, and getting points on the board - he's been unlucky with injuries but we're a squad - he's spent well over £30 million and much of that has been poorly spent with £10 mill on Hernandez, £8 mill on Livermore and whatever we spent on Ince, Ben Arfa, and arguably McGuire - the £7 mill on Snodgrass was a disaster - we have a large In Bruce we trust banner - you've got to ask yourselves why in the circumstances because he's not delivering at the moment - lets just hope he gets it together for the remainder of the season - we've had one great escape season where the team rolled their shirt sleeves up and saw us over the line - lets hope the team of 2015 can do the same

Hate to admit it but I've had my doubts too..

We need(ed) a settled team and although some of the inability to do this has been blighted by injuries, Bruce's swapping and changing also adds to the lack of cohesion.

What you would give for characters like Ashbee, Windass, Joyce & Brabin to put in theis side right now.

Macca is one of then, yes

One of the finest delivered well crafted moans I've seen for a long time. 10 out of 10.
 
I would like to complain about the border que into Gibraltar. It took me 90 minutes to get in tonight for no apparent reason.
Don't think it was SBs fault?
 
Whenever we sign a player they say they came here for the manager, they want to work for Steve Bruce. So you'd think they'd show a bit more fight for him wouldn't you?

If you stick to the margarita pizza or spicy tomato and carlic bread they're quite nice
Got something other by mistake a bit back and it went in the bin
 
I suppose if you go down we'll have to take Ramirez back. It's so selfish. Can't you think of anyone but yourselves?
