toontownman Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 How long til the "hardcores" turn? Another couple of beatings in the league then rochdale beating us at home. Walking away from the fans today is good foreshadowing for his heel turn and blaming them for negativity in a couple of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I assume he still has family in the area? You'd like to think that they'd be left alone but you know some mong will be having a go at them. Wonder if Bruce will simply walk away if that happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste_ne24 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 pretty sure i just heard him on talksport saying he was surprised that we went to rochdale and dominated them so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 pretty sure i just heard him on talksport saying he was surprised that we went to rochdale and dominated them so much I was surprised too tbh. The players just do what comes instinctively, it's not like there was any set plan to dominate possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 #nufc looking at signing a forward this month. "We've had a couple of knock backs already so we'll keep working away," Steve Bruce said. "It's very, very difficult, especially at that end of the pitch to get something and to get something that will make you better is difficult." Not surprised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Reckons we were affected by Adrian Mutu having to go off. Yeah , the same player he wouldn't let near the team for the best part of 3 months. Muto wasn’t exactly good either, don’t know why he didn’t stick Sorensen on. Like for like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It's so pointless hurling abuse at Bruce. Just pray he makes it as excruciating as possible for the dimwit fans that still go to the matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 How we play depends totally on which players start any given match. Since Matty Longstaff and Muto started the last two games, we've been passing it around more, albeit not that successfully. When Shelvey and Hayden are the midfielders, the ball is going long and high. Bruce clearly doesn't have a style of play, he's just winging it. That's why it usually goes to shit when he makes any subs, the shape just goes out the window. Reminds me of Souness in a lot of ways, other than he's less miserable.

St1pe Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Another whinge about today but I’m already sick to death of that 5-3-2. It gives options to passing it around the back 4 and absolutely nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm sick of 5 at the back now like. We don't play well with it so what's the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm sick of 5 at the back now like. We don't play well with it so what's the point. Because it's the template what Rafa left - the players are used to it. However under Bruce, the players have clearly regressed. Not only that, we are badly missing Rondon and Perez.

morla84 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Playing 3 at the back makes sense when everyone is fit imo, but when you're having to shoehorn a midfielder and rightback in there to keep it going it's time to have a rethink imo. Especially against a league 1 side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Another whinge about today but I’m already sick to death of that 5-3-2. It gives options to passing it around the back 4 and absolutely nothing else. I said in the match thread, the back 5 were literally passing the ball sideways to each other, going absolutely nowhere....and what was perplexing about it was Hayden was one of those doing it. He's a midfielder, he could easily have carried the ball forward and given us some tempo, but then that's something which should be coming from the manager.
