loki679 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Sorry like, but these comments have made me fucking furious. Just reeks of the arsehole wanting to save face because, no doubt, there were absolutely no provisions or plans to keep players fit during lockdown. So fucking amateur. Sunday league stuff. i hate bruce as much as the next person but i'd be amazed if the club didn't give them a fitness regime like toon25 talks some absolutely shite like Let’s see when the season restarts shall we. I’m sure he’s spearheaded a rigorous fitness regime supported by up to date sports science research. Come on man. You said "no provisions or plans to keep players fit during lockdown." An insane comment. The players will clearly have fitness plans. So this is the hill you want to die on? Really? NO never forgets, remember. The board has been saying Bruce over-trains the players all season. We've had a fair share of injuries, and most posters have been saying we're doing TOO MUCH fitness work (and I'm not saying that's incorrect - we probably have). We're going to have solo fitness plans for the players. So what is it Loki? We don't do fitness or we do? What is it with you and the black and white questions? Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

huss9 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Looks like you cant actually get out of that room without moving the desk but thats not his fault. the previous manager had left him that formation and he didnt have the appropriate furniture to move it around. he tried, but it looked awful. so he's gonna leave like that, slowly get a few more pieces in and move the furniture around very slowly till he's got it how he wants it.

James Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Id say that between Arsenal 4-4 and The summer after we finished 5th there was probably for all that time a slight majority on this forum in favour of Pardew as manager. You couldn’t just target Ian W for that one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 As useless as I think Bruce is, there is a department of fitness staff at the club and the players will obviously have been given fitness regimes to follow during the lockdown. It's still a Premier League football operation - not a good one - but at least the minimum requirements will have been done. It's just a question of how effective they are. Which I imagine not very. For instance if, when we start up again, ASM pulls his hamstring after his first meaningful sprint, like that Spurs away game, would I be surprised? No. But it doesn't mean he wasn't given a fitness regime to follow for the past two months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is in how their advice is used - Rafa trusted the advice and the data - Bruce prefers to go with a players gut feeling and hence has often caused further injuries buy playing clearly not match fit or fully recovered players.

You couldn’t just target Ian W for that one! definitely. the results were better than the performances though. I didnt like Pardew but could put up with him as we had some decent players who seemed to be winning matches. And I thought the summer transfers would improve us still further.

Minhosa Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Quality! http://www.true-faith.co.uk/takeover-the-friends-of-steve-bruce-fsob/ That's a great piece. I still think we'll be right amongst it come the end of the season tbh. Wouldn't trust Bruce to have done any form of prep ahead of the season restarting. Almost certain that will show.
