I don't. When was the last time our team backed themselves and went for the throat for 90 minutes? Why can't we keep the ball down and pass instead of surrendering possession to every team we play? Why have our players been playing like they're frightened since before the end of our last promotion season? I can't think of anyone at the club who doesn't deserve a rocket up the arse and attitudes have to change. Rant over.
I think we need to find a Manager that gets his teams playing exciting football. Not the dour **** we've got used to.
We do perpetually seem to defend 1-0 leads, which is a very dangerous game to play. It's gone on for so long they have to be playing to instruction? The natural instinct for me as a none professional footballer is attack, attack, attack. Probably why I'm not a professional footballer
Definitely getting to the point of which Bruce has taken us as far as he can and we need some fresh ideas and a new style. Can't help but think that a lot of managers given the same squad and injuries last year could have gotten way more out of that team. I would have liked Sherwood before he went to Villa.
Winning while playing poorly can't be a bad thing- just wait until we hit our stride . Having said that, I'm fed up of us trying to cling on to a 1-0 lead. Maybe its a mindset from PL days. Somehow we have to be able to break that mentality. Whether that is solely down to the manager is a matter of opinion. Players can surely take some responsibility on the pitch and just go for that 2nd goal!
Personally I'd rather have good attacking performances, throwing everything at the opposition, than dour defensive wins by the odd goal. Nobody wants to watch the style of football that's being served up at the moment. Playing poorly yet winning by the odd goal is a dangerous game, once you hit a losing streak it will be difficult to come back from it, and morale in the squad will plummet.
Nine months ago there were plenty of posters on this board slating Leicester and predicting they were a certainty for relegation. Then they started throwing everything into attack, scoring goals, and zooming from last place to mid-table. This year they are second in the Prem and knocked in another 4 today in the cup. Can anyone honestly see anything like that happening under Bruce.? He hasnt got a clue how to play attacking football. I cant remember the last time we scored more than 2 goals in a game. This passing the ball sidewards and backwards in midfield is pathetic. Today was awful. Charlton just as bad. Theres no enthusiasm for the game on the part of the players. I cant imagine the dressing room is a happy place. Diame will be gone before the window closes. Elmo possibly also. We'll be stuck with Jelavic and his wages. I can see crowds dwindling as we slide down the table. Bruce needs to go!! Rant over.
I recall a few claiming results are everything, and criticising those of us that disagreed, yet here we are, having our best start to the season in how many years? The same ones calling for change, will no doubt be high among those proclaiming him the next messiah again if we're flying high at Christmas. Such is the schizophrenia of some football fans.
They were throwing everything into attack from the start, it just took a while before it started working. Apart from the first half against Fulham, we've been dire this season, regardless of our league position and progression in the cup.
Thought we by and large dominated against Huddersfield - apart from a 15 minute spell in the 2nd half.
