    That's why Steve Bruce is a better manager than Iain Dowie. I realise that sounds like damning with faint praise.

    I'm certain he didn't, but he got there in the end and that's all I'm really bothered about.

    I am grateful to my Rt Hon friend for the clarification. For the record, that we have found our most effective formation - regardless of whose idea it was - is all I'm bothered about, too. Both Robertson and Odubajo are more suited to the wing-back role than full back.

    To be fair Polly a lot of them have now actually seen us live, unlike a lot on here... :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Absolutely. He stalked me instead (see Cardiff match thread, pre-match).

    Most people on this board are better managers than Iain Dowie!

    No he did not. The fact you think he did is laughable.

    Nothing wrong with having a plan B.

    However It will be a very sad day when he does listen to those types.

    Thanks. <ok>

    Correct. ^^^^ this. Most of the social media morons more than likely don't even go to games.

    Steve Bruce is the man to get us back to the PL. Nobody else can or would. But for errors by certain players we would be at least 4 points better off and top of the league. Errors cannot be blamed on any manager. I am all for a sensible discussion however the constant "Bruce Out" by the same few on here and social morons beggars belief. Funny how they stayed quiet after Tuesday though.

    I bet that you would be correct. <ok>


    Correct and Agreed ^^^^ this. <ok>

    Bit of an overstatement, how do you know?

    Take it from someone who would love Bruce to succeed: ridiculous overstatements like that don't help his cause or your credibility.

    As someone who has defended Bruce for some time, this thread is great.

    But that post might be just perfection. Nice one Driff <laugh>

    If it wasn't so loooooong someone, probably Chazz, would have it as their signature.

    In defence of Driff there were certain elements of truth in that post at the time it was posted, the performances were gash so it's a bit cruel to be highlighting now. I forgive you Driff, and I saw much of what you were seeing. <ok>

    Steve has listened to people on here who play football computer games, taken on board their wisdom gained in getting their UEFA TV coaching badges, and he's done what was necessary. However he shouldn't get too much credit as in training he only parrots what he's first read on not606.

    There was more than 59 before, since the thread started it has slowly gone down.

    I always said if the performances didn't improve quickly, he should go. We've since won four back-to-back league games without conceding a single goal and are through to the Quarter Finals of the League Cup. Credit to Bruce, I was wrong in thinking he couldn't turn it around.
