    Also some also need to take there blinkers off, this isn't the first team Bruce has done this to, I actually think part of the issue is he tries to be everyone's mate instead of there manager. And the result is the team end up looking like a ship with no rudder

    Someone said Robertson is stagnating under Bruce? How exactly? He plays in the position he's always favoured for Dundee Utd & Scotland & he gets protection from the midfield player on that side as well.

    Maguire is stagnating.

    It may have been mentioned but who's idea was it to put Moses on Rhodes at set pieces? I heard Bruce mentioned their two centre halfs are a big threat at corners, so what, they haven't scored 4 in 3. Out of everything that was useless this decision was the biggest we put one of our smallest players on a man who scores more than 1 in 2, as well as having Meyler, Livermore and Elmo on the pitch who are all decent headers of the ball. This seriously baffles me.

    I am all for blaming the players for been lackluster but most of the blame must go with Bruce, we have no idea how to attack anymore, we have no rhythm of play and just generally look out of sorts. The amount of 'hoof ball' in the first half was a joke. I have been behind Bruce most of the time, but if he cannot get the best of a team with the likes of Huddlestone, Diame, Maloney, Elmo and Aluko we are seriously struggling. The amount of times we lost by 1-0 last season cost us, and we aren't going to keep a clean sheet every game, soooo we need to score more than one.

    The amount of times Huddlestone recieved the ball when he is facing our goal is criminal too and don't get me started on Robertson!

    Robertson looks good. Our left looks more threatening than our rogh when Robbo goes darting down there.

    I went to the first three home games before I went to university and watched the Wolves game - we were not great at all. Judging by the overwhelming majority on here, nothing's changed.

    Really don't like calling the team especially seems daft given our position , but Jesus Christ the money we all fork out for a pass and I'm guessing I'm not alone in this but we play dreadful , there's no wonder our centre backs keep getting man of the match because we're always defending , with our squad we really should be doing much better , I fear under Bruce we will achieve playoffs when we should be looking to challenge for the title , it baffles me how we haven't signed a twenty goal a season striker , we have simply carried on from last season its far from good enough , I'm fed up of hearing lets dust ourselves down and go again , or we're still trying to find our feet , we should be tearing this league a new one instead it's the same old dross against inferior teams , sort it Bruce or clear out , it's far from good enough !

    I am starting to agree, but if we had a 20 goal a season striker, could they score, seriously, I'm not watching the games but reading reviews & hearing the "people" talk, if we had Austin or Rhodes or even Gray(who's not scored much since going to Burnley,however I wanted him really a lot) would they score the goals from how we play?
    I will be going for a couple of games before I'm back at work so I'll judge for myself overall, but wanted to know the views of the people who go.
    Just thinking about it, is Mike Phelan sabotaging SB by giving him bogus advice so he can get the top job?
    Horton helped Brownie when he was here & that was one of my major concerns when he came as assistant, but when Phelan came I was expecting much assistance & it seemed to work at the beginning, but now....?

    Somebody is feeding you them 'stupid pills' again Bruce.

    I wouldn't have know that unless I'd seen him in a Derby shirt and score a cracker of a goal.<doh>

    Really?

    You expect an answer on the "IF" factor?

    Ah now we get to the crux of it, it's the first time this has been mentioned so I wasn't aware of it. So it wasn't a case of 'it is what it is' it's clearly a case of our most appropriate defender not marking their biggest threat. What the **** were Dawson and/or Davies doing whilst Dave was being dropped in the ****?

    Too late now obviously however I'm pretty certain that Rhides wouldn't have lost Rosey. Yet another Bruce/club **** up.

    It's only re-iterating what has been said on here many, many times before. There's no revelations - I'd have added that we should be playing 3-5-2, and sticking with 3-5-2.

    Rick Skelton's report summarises everything that we've been saying is wrong at the moment, so if we're all seeing the same thing then surely the Allam's are seeing them too.

    The usual yardstick of whereabouts you'll finish come the end of the season is measured after ten games, which would indicate, on current performances, that we will struggle to make one of the automatic promotion spots, and, with Bruce's selections and tactics, I certainly wouldn't back us to go up via the play offs.

    For those that are saying it's too early to judge, it's not, not after nine games. Performance wise I'm just not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. Unless changes are made to the management structure, which seems highly unlikely as the Allam's and Bruce continue their love in, then we are in for a season of disappointment, and if we don't go back up this season we could re-enter the football wilderness that many relegated PL teams have encountered.

    The frustrating thing, and I'm sure that it's something that we can all agree on, is that we DO have the tools for the job but it's blatantly obvious that they're not been used correctly.

    Hugely frustrating!

    Clucas certainly wasnt the pick of them.
    Akpom didnt do fine hold up play either. Both he and Hernandez were ok once they turned and went at their CB's as they were so ****ing slow but again both were weak as piss. Most times just staring at the CB as they won another header unchallenged.

    Its interesting to note Curtis Davies has got his head down this year and played well. He agitated for more money last season and went to ****-losing the captaincy in the process.
    Funny but he did an article going on about money and wanting a contract right before this game. Coincidence??
