That was an awesome dive :lol:

MOAR RUNNING

So this is what our "best chance of silverware" looks like? Brewcie couldn't have been lying to get fans on side could he??

Covmag taking whatever meds KaKa is on

Our sports science knowledge has devolved into "can he run?" Hasn't it?

he's clearly got the ability, hes been a bit unlucky so far and equally if he was dropped then the whole team would suffer massively.

So long as he sticks to that formation and doesn't start to tinker they should be fine. It'll be like Pardew, get some slim wins and get spanked a few times, he won't set his stall out dependent upon who they're playing and he won't have an answer to anyone that figures them out.

Anyone who isn't a cunt or has at least half a brain can see that his tireless running makes so much space for other players, he's unlucky not to have got a goal or assist yet but he will.

Luke Edwards report about the Mighty Bruce revival in 3...2....1.....

Completely skirting over the fact he's playing an alien formation to him and using Rafa's tactics

Better manager ? Go and sit in the corner and think about what you've just said

Desperate to show that he knew better and we could do some amazing fwont foot football but then reverting back straight away

Im stuck on a train on my way home from Lincoln so I'm relying on you guys to tell me how quickly and badly the wheels come off

Bewwww

Absolutely but it's up to Bruce as the manager (head coach) to deal with that and change that, ultimately the book stops with him.

perfect

We'd still see the endless recycling of the same teams yo-yo-ing thru the divisions (with the added bonus of us getting sucked in more often) Owners like Ashley would be forced to be more competitive to stay away from the drop. He wouldn't like having to invest in order to stay on the gravy train but can't afford not to be there.

100% he's found a sheet with a Rafa formation on it under the desk and just gone with that. Without the plan to back it up of course

He's not got the brass neck to ride this one out, he'll quit sooner rather than later, he's no Pardew.

Blackpool are finally free from the Oystons, it was repossessed after a court case with the guy that had a 10% stake in the club. Owen Oyston bled the club dry to prop up his estate agent business and the other guy didn't see a penny of the premiership money so the club and the hotel next to it was repossessed and auctioned off. At least one club is on the mend and with a really decent owner too there's hope yet.

Same team, same formation, Joelinton will be isolated all game with his hands on his hips and Almiron will take all the flack for not supporting his striker. What do I win?

Read the first line, scrolled down, not reading that blood pressure inducing, violence enticing, rent-a-quote.

on the contrary find it really promising. if the away fans have called it a day already then hes in deep shit 100% this, if they can't muster a rendition of Steve Brewcies black & white army in the second game of the season then he's already a walking corpse
