Quite a few since Bruce brought in Jones... We've had better results and performances since then wouldn't you agree? Our last goal was a 16 pass move vs 3rd place Leicester...
Yes and you are attributing the decision to bring in Jones to Bruce with no actual evidence to support your claim with the little evidence we do have suggesting that Bruce was annoyed by his presence. Also this is about Bruce doing a good job as you claim, how can he have been doing a good job if it took another coach to come in for him to pull his finger out of his arse and get this team playing better?
Firstly the only evidence we have is the fact bruce has told us he wanted him and that he interviewed him Secondly I said he's done fine and better than expected which isn't the sage as saying he's done a good job. Please feel free to re read the thread because it's becoming rather tiresome having to go over everything several times. I know I sounded like a **** there but hopefully you can find it in your good grace to forgive me
So do the other wins and draws not count Covid? Injuries? When did they occur? Perhaps that info can assist you in solving that puzzle
You said you got it right in december. You quoted your post on 12 December. So I’m stipulating the results since your post.
Yeah read this.. It's a post made before that run... It was during he time we were about mid table on 18 points and the fans were unhappy with our style of play. Now they're just unhappy with the bit in between this and Jones
Well he's hardly likely to admit that he had no say is he? You only had to take one look at Bruce's face when answering questions and how jones seemed segregated from the coaching staff to know something was up. Fine I'll rephrase it, how is he doing a fine job if it took a coach coming in fo him to pull his finger out of his arse? Don't worry mate I've been around here long enough to know exactly how you are
I don’t think the fans are unhappy with the bit in between and Jones. I just think they are unhappy with Bruce full stop. You can pin stats from any point in the season to prove a point depending on what your trying to prove. I like to look at the big picture. This season has been ****e. Bruces premier league managerial record for us is crap. His overall managerial career is the WORST in history.
He's done better than everyone though because they said he'd get us relegated the day he got the job. He matched rafa season one and finished 13th and this season it'll be much the same. It's quite simple.. The fans hate Bruce and want him out regardless of how well he does or doesn't Early on we had the best start we'd had since pardew, but they said football was so bad they'd rather lose 4-3 Right now we've lost 2 of the last 9, beaten Leicester, West ham and drawn with spurs and Liverpool in that time and they're saying so what we were fur some reason useless when we had covid and we're without max wilson Almiron and schar...
Every season for approaching 2 decades bar pardews when he finished 5th has been ****. Why is it a great achievement for rafa to finish 13th and not Bruce? They liked rafa it's really that simple.
As I said he matched Rafa on points and Position, any other factor and he performed considerably worse for example 20th in shots, shots on target, xG, opposition box touches, possession. Which all suggests a false position so you are quite right in saying points wise he matched Rafa however that is a very shallow way of looking at it when you see that the points were not consistent with our performances and all this after having considerable investment in the team so this constant claim of matching Rafa is very false
