  1. There was no real hiring process with Bruce. Barnes & Penfold had contacted 10 potential managers about the job, all of whom had rejected the opportunity to work under Ashley's controls. They then did what they understood how to do the best - nothing. Luckily for them, for the 2nd manager hunt in a row, a manager contacted them about the vacancy. We got very lucky the first time around when Rafa offered his services. Not so lucky the second time when the guy asking for the job was Bruce. No one sought him out for the job, he was simply the only one who was interested in working under Ashley. He's basically Chief Wiggum.
  2. Fantastic win, very comfortable and professional.
  3. Nice win. Nervy 2nd half after a very dominant 1st but a win is a win.
  4. Great result, little bit of good luck & Bruno gets 2.

    You can't expect them to count them all properly, they'll lose their place after they reach 11 fingers.
  6. Embarrassing performance. Not a single player comes out of that with any credit.
  7. He was doing great whilst he had Derek Fazackerley working with him.
  8. Absolute shite from start to finish
  9. Desperately unlucky at the end. Chelsea were the 2nd best team on the pitch and helped massively by a crap ref.
  10. Nervy as fuck towards the end. Thought Shelvey had a pretty poor game by his recent standards. 3 points is 3 points though

    The Netflix doc did raise the status of lower league clubs. Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney watched it and promptly bought Wrexham. Odd that they weren't interested in the club at the heart of the documentary that they could have easily afforded.
  12. Villa turned nasty towards the end, lots of fouls out of frustration. Good win.
  13. If we stay up I'd get rid of the lot of them, either let the contracts expire or just sell them on. If we go down, I'd try to keep Fede or Schar.
  14. He looks like the player that Shelvey thinks he is.
