    And how are we measuring improvement?
    The opinion of armchair managers on not606?

    As in, they got better the longer we had them? That's generally a good sign of development.

    Why are you incapable of answering a question properly? All you do is ask a different question every time.

    Robertson had a decent first season with us and then a not as good season the following year. That's not good development. Maguire seems to have got better, but he featured so little in his first year here that it's hard to tell whether he was just like that already or whether he's improved under Bruce.

    Actually, I'm not an armchair manager, I'm well qualified to discuss such matters. Apparently. Please list all footballing experience and any coaching qualifications so I can judge how much worth your opinion holds.

    Him and most of us dont have to as we dont think we know more than Steve Bruce.
    Wonder how many games Steve Bruce had played and full seasons by the time he was 28. Instead of a few games here and there as you didnt fancy it.

    Ohhh you didn't make it clear. So now, you've got to be more qualified than Steve Bruce to have an opinion.

    I never said I knew more than Steve Bruce, but you'd have to be some sort of ****ing moron not to notice the mistakes he made. Then they're discussed on here, on a forum. Then people like you pop up moaning that people are getting high and mighty with their opinions.

    I'll make it easier for you.
    Is your assessment subjective or stats-based?

    Nah you have absolutely no credentials or experience to criticise anyone least of all a pro manager. You've barely played football. You dont coach or manage a team and agian for a young man you should be playing week in week out since 16. But nah its easier to talk about it and express "informed opinions" about something you barely know or have experienced.

    Second season syndrome? Though not as spectacular, I thought Robertson tightened up defensively. Maguire gained confidence which allowed him to take risks, but to me always has an error in him.

    That depends. I could give you my opinion, which is that Robbo didn't really improve, or we can look at stats, which I'll try and find when I get home.

    Right, so nobody can criticise anybody ever unless they are better, is that your mantra? You'd make a great mod.

    I should be playing week in week out? Who the **** are you? I've got a career to think about, I'm happy to admit I'd never make it as a pro and I was playing for fun not to make a living out of it. If I want to turn out for Reckitts or Forest Green Rovers it's no business of yours is it? Why should my life choices dictate my opinion? I have a fair few friends in football, they could be Mourinho and Guardiola for all you care, keep your beak out.

    And I never said I hadn't coached or that I haven't got any coaching badges, you've just arrogantly assumed this.

    oh SB is dead.. now onwards and upwards..................

    can RM do anything as manager for us?
    I doubt it, but at least he is better than nothing
    think MP is the same ilk as SB was.

    Do I hear the first 'Martinez out' ?
    Surely there will be a 'my best mate is an Evertonian and he says Everton under Martinez were unwatchable',....' too negative',....... 'no plan B',...... 'operates a naughty step' post soon?

    Lump on.

    nono, the difference between RM and SB is that they are polar opposites............................RM is too attack minded and doesnt think about defence, and then there is SB.............
