First, what they should do, is listen to every ****er's comment on the internet to see who has the best football knowledge, then Steve Bruce should take that into consideration and do what the fans tell him, it seems such an organised plan!
Steve Bruce is brilliant - 352 is genius. Steve Bruce knows nothing, you are always going to concede with 3 at the back.
I guess you think we should all just shut up and not have an opinion then? After all, Bruce knows best.
Having an opinion is fine, great even, but Bruce is the manager, so whatever we say doesn't have an affect on the tactics
Last season we conceded 6 in 8 games. This season we've conceded 11 in 8 games. We had the best defence in the league at the time and the second best defence at the end of the season. We still have that defence, though at the moment Hobbs has been replaced by Faye, who is a more than adequate replacement. Technically we're playing some good stuff with this 3-5-2, but we just lost badly against the worst team in the league, maybe it's time it was reviewed?
4 1 2 1 2 Amos Elmo Chester Faye Dudgeon Olofinjana Aluko Quinn Koren Simpson Proshwitz This would be ideal, guess we'll have to wait and see
The system is good, we just need to sort ourselves out defensively. The 3 in midfield is really good and playing with this we can still play 2 up front, which is a big deal for us because we're crap with one up front.
It's our club, it will be our club long after Bruce has gone and this is a forum where we discuss our concerns. We were undone by Leicester and Bruce was unable to change anything. We were by far the better footballing side today, yet we still lost 3-1 and once again Bruce was fairly impotent. He looks tactically **** to me, his signings are good, but he doesn't seem to have the ability to change things when it's all going tits up.
At the end of the day though as long as Bruce is manager he can do want he wants tactically, none of us can do anything about it, I agree with you on the club is the fan's. Managers, players and even owners come and go but we will always be here, but that doesn't alter the fact that Bruce is currently our manager, we just have to sit back and enjoy the season
The opposition are getting to know our formation and are using its one weakness against us to get the better of us. So it is time to change it. It is also time to rotate some players. Elmo looked knackered towards the end
I do believe a change of formation is neccessary, but as the fans we can't do that, that's why it's frustrating for fans because we can't do anything
Last week we lost because we kept giving them the ball and were generally ****. This week we lost because we gave away three **** goals. I don't get why people have to have a tactical reason for everything bad happening. What if both teams' systems were perfectly good? They still can't both win. There is so much more to football than formations, and it's the simple things everyone forgets. If we were playing 4-4-2 no one would say the formation must have been 'found out' every time we lose a game. Why should it be any different just because we're playing a slightly unorthodox formation?
I would accept this if it had happens 5-6 times but its only happens twice with to be fair a fairly new team. Today at half time I thought with the amount of crosses we was putting in we should bring on prozzy which he did. It didn't work out but he s certainly not tactically inept.
I hate to be negative, but any formation which has Bruce jr in the first XI whilst Rosie is sat on the bench should be reviewed. Bruce jr has done alright, but Rosie is top quality at this level, Bruce isn't.
