I'm not saying you definitely will/will not get promoted. If you had beaten Watford, I would have said you and Cardiff were guaranteed top two. Alas, King Bruce got your tactics wrong, and you lost. Let's hope he doesn't **** up again for the remaining six games. Whatever happens, it's going to be tight. Oh and our season is over, I have resigned myself to another mid-table season "Spent all that money to only finish midtable", I hear you cry... No, spent all that money to recover from the mess that Sven made, and to build a young, exciting squad that is only going to get better. Just out of interest, while I'm thinking about it, who is the oldest player Pearson has signed since his return!? (Clearly missing someone obvious...)
Bruce didn't get his tactics wrong, he got his team selection wrong. He went with Bruce (a defender), Koren and Boyd (who plays just off the striker). He got it wrong. He admitted that.
My view is they allowed Watford 15 mins of domination at the end of the first half. that's when they scored. Overall, their goalie made 3 world class saves. 3 points lost in my opinion
.. thing is Proud they could already be sounding people out (i.e the Ince story) ... Martin O'Neil and Nigel Adkins were both given the boot with the replacements agreed ... only time will tell ... does look like Nigel will at least be in charge at Brighton now.
Don't be silly Proud. NP is a master tactician, sets us up to win every game. "Play like Barcelona" is the general theme. Unfortunately, he's just been picking the wrong players for the last 11 games
I know. Clearly Kasper Schmeichel is our best player, why is Nigel playing him in such a defensive position? The way he strikes the ball he should be playing in midfield.
Look we have had an 11 point lead twice it don`t last more than one game. We only won 2 games in 7 before the Blackburn game. Ok I know you had it a lot worse but suddenly you get a win and things look up a lot. I dont see you playing so bad you can`t get the wins you need now. As much as everyone says Cardiff will get auto until we actually cannot be caught we are worried too. jck
Many a true word ... his going up for last minute corners is sadly beginning to look like our best attacking option LOL
Bruce got his tactics spot on, he then went and pick the wrong players and played them in the wrong positions. hahaha priceless!
Indeed he is, he is the best manager in this league by a long, long, long, long way. Oh yeah, did I mention that he was the best manager in this league by a long way? P.S: He probably is the fattest and ugliest too, before anyone says!
