We are still in a great position to get automatic promotion. Middlesbrough are going downhill fast. We are creating chances. The time to be worried is when you don't look like scoring. I expect the goals to start going in soon. We don't need any other players.
Hernandez just needs one to go in off his arse or nose or something then will be back on it. Clucas will benefit from scoring the other day after his misses. I fancy Powell to bag a few sooner or later. We have the players it's down to tactics or management now
Disagree about Abel. He's not been unlucky he's just not been competing for the ball. Until he starts again the ball is unlikely to just fall for him in front of goal.
Bruce has been stroking his ego too much for me, I'd like to think he gave him a boot up the arse instead now and then
Even if we get promoted as champions, there will be people on here posting that our success was in spite of, rather than because of, our manager being Steve Bruce.
I'm not suggesting putting Harry upfront but I saw him play in midfield in pre season at Chesterfield and he did look good. And he scored. A thought.
You have either a very short, or very selective, memory. Going back to the days of Peter Taylor's management, it didn't matter that he took a moribund club from the bottom of League Two into the Championship and kept us there, he was pilloried on CI for his lack of tactical nous, inability to pick the right team, etc. etc. Phil Brown wasn't short of detractors, despite the fact he got us into the top division for the first time in our history. Things have got worse this season, I believe, because of the success of Leicester. Now all the detractors are saying "that could/should be us - if it wasn't for Steve Bruce". FFS.
I don't know one City fan, or any football fan, who thinks that. Not even one. You're just making that up, surely.
I seriously doubt anyone said we got promoted 'in spite of' Phil Brown in 2008. Whilst people moaned about Junior Lewis and playing for 1-0, I don't think anyone said it of Taylor in 2004 or 2005 either.
I agree with that too. I was genuinely sad when he left, although even then despite expecting it, I wished him well. From afar. I'm not some weird stalker.
The popular rewriting of history is that BFS gave the team talk on 24/5/2008, and told PB what to do in 2008/9 until he got a job himself.
Then applied for another job. If Taylor built the foundations then Nigel Pearson put the scaffolding up.
