Think our fans need to start giving Bruce the credit he deserves.

 

 

 

Progressive Bruce.

 

Rafa couldn’t take us into the Amazon Prime age.

Shearer was at it last night like with the whole ‘better off than this time last year’ crap.

 

It's not crap though. At this point we are better off than last year. Whether it lasts is up for debate / probably unlikely, but at the minute it's a fact. That doesn't mean Bruce is a better manager, just that we are doing better at present.

 

This not been bumped yet? Again it may not last but there can't be any argument he's doing well at the minute.

[Newcastle Fan]

Tactically he got it spot on today, fair play.

[Ikon]

Play defensively and hope for the best.

[La Parka]

Strangle the side of jobbers with no creativity and smash them on the break/long ball. Worked great. Especially the second half.

[Pilko]

"Well, wuh got wuh backsides kicked in the first half, that's for sure. Wuh managed to roll up wuh sleeves and batten down the hatches cos wuh come under some pressure. But, wuh stood up to all they had to throw at wuh and took wuh chances."

You did this the other day, posted something totally irrelevant to the point that had been made.

 

Are definitely OK? Can we get someone for you?

I spelled it out in the match thread but can repeat it here if you want a breakdown.

[Minhosa]

Fuck off Bruce.

[Mr Logic]

I can't be arsed to go and look through 500 pages of an old Pardew thread but I'm pretty sure it must have looked like this one in places. I can't even work out who's on the wind up and who is serious anymore.

I'm going to assume most realise we are sticking to Rafa's system, we're just not doing it quite so well nor can we can adjust during games the way Rafa would/might have.

I don't think anybody is elated by having Steve Bruce as manager - some are just not opposed to giving him credit when his team does a good job.

 

Not sure why everything has to be at the extreme ends of the spectrum at all times.

Nah, probably best keeping all the irrelevant stuff in the one place.

I just can't hate him as much as Pardew, still don't like him much but my hatred levels will never ever get Pardew levels of death hoping.

It's the internet mate, you can't change your mind or go against the consensus, and ffs stay of the politics thread

I actively can’t like. It’s sad but it is what it is. His very being riles me, if he’d been after McClaren I could probably have taken and accepted it but after seeing what could have been...

 

Taking a mate from Singapore to the Everton game so that might flick a switch. Feel so grubby doing so.

[Pilko]

Did anyone see these quotes pre match?

 

“After Huddersfield, for the first time in my life I became a bit reclusive. I never really went out of the house," Bruce told reporters ahead of Thursday's game at Bramall Lane.

 

"Thankfully I was doing my house up so I would do a bit of labouring. I would get the sausage and chips for the lads. I was just Billy normal. I did that for about six or seven months and then John Benson [Wigan's former general manager] knocked on the door one day.

 

“I saved myself £50 quid a day in the labourer’s fee! Was it finished? I don’t think so. But it was the first time of ‘What you going to do? What you not going to do?'

[TRon]

I won't ever hate him as much as Pardew, but that doesn't mean I can't see a poor manager riding a wave of good luck when it's right in front of my face. FWIW, Bruce actually appears to be a worse manager than I had thought despite the results so far. I can't see him improving this side at all even given a free reign with transfers. Which he won't ever have.

[Guest covmag]

Pretty much this, the quotes against him tonight are so bitter it’s hilarious, whatever anyone thinks of him the players are working their socks off still and that’s what I expect at worst of this side.

 

He came over well after the game and the mocking of him tonight isn’t justified.

[Rod]

Deserves massive credit for telling Dubravka to have the game of his life. Well done.

Totally this.  I mean we won tonight so this may sound hollow but we were totally outplayed by Sheffield United.  This is the worry.  I can't wait to reach 40 points.
