Near enough a perfect game. Pleased for Chuba but ffs can we stop taking the strikers off and conceding. It just keeps on happening. Whatever Bruce thinks it will do it obviously doesn't work. They really could have pulled it back to 3-3 at the end, they had loads of good chances in our area in a 5 minute spell. Fair enough if you don't want t bring Hernandez on but have someone else on the bench instead. Luer would have loved to come on. We were pissing on them second half until we went all out defence.
Yep, like I said, even Bruce himself commented in his post match interview on Blunderside that he wasn't comfortable in the last five minutes...well stop taking forwards off and replacing them with defenders then for ****s sake!
It is just getting ridiculous. Bury could have easily got a second and then all hell would have broken loose. If he tries this over the remainder of this season, as he did persistently in the second half of last season with dire results and ultimately relegation, how many points will we drop? Failure to get promotion this time will be disastrous financially and in terms of losing our best players. Surely he won't repeat last seasons mistakes....or will he????????
I didnt go but did he do that though? Clucas on for Dio, did Clucas go up top or wide left? Maguire and Hayden for Tymon and Aluko. Thats a defender and midfielder for the same. Bruce used this to see how we would do with a team coming onto us. We've got Derby Burnley and Boro away. Do people think we will be cavalier at 1 nil up in the last 10 or 15 minutes?? No. He'll do exactly what Mourinho has done over his career, take a forward off and pack the midfield. Thats the difference between a Mourinho and a Wenger/Martinez.
Which of them currently in a job then? If you take off the striker and let teams come at us, you're asking for pressure and against promotion rivals that's ******ed. Hopefully Brucey won't do it.
