I agree about the fans but thats not what I meant by momentum its the general drift, players, Brucies words, just a feel that the momentum is going away from him with no visible signs of it turning.
He is still blaming the fans berating him because of losing to Newcastle 2 months ago, he has no ****ing clue. I was undecided, although I was also losing faith up until the Arsenal game. That team selection and the tactics??? - END OF **** OFF MR BRUCE AND **** OFF NOW, YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB.
I don't even think it's the results that have got peoples backs up - it's the way he's putting th team out and, seemingly, telling them to stop playing (look at Arsenal game at the weekend!) when they start doing OK (from 20 minutes to half time Arsenal didn't have a single shot - or any possession around our box to create) - this was because, after we went a goal down and then settled we pushed for an equaliser - we got the equaliser and then stopped playing after Bruce spoke to them at half time. I can only tell what I see and it seemed that Bruce was so wary of getting beat (which we did anyway) that he didn't want to win - his excuses and post match interviews are what have turned me - I can't hack a manager saying our expectations are too high when we've got 25 points from the last 26 league games. If he thinks that my expectations are too high then he's got no idea. We expect mid table - but we're heading for the relegation zone - how are our expectations too high?
For some games such as the Arsenal match this is spot on.. It wasn't so much the score-line, as it was less than i was expecting, it was the stubborness in the selection of the team, and the negative approach to the game. Plus all his bloody bleating and poor excuses, so now i refere to him as Steve Excuse, not Bruce.
