Guest Butcher Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 ManDoon[/member] of course Bruce is not the answer for the future, but somehow we're 12th and in the end that's all that matter. You don't get extra points for having more xG or more possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Will I get more pelters for saying Bruce has done an okay job? Yes. Come on Rod - the floor is yours. Tell us all why Bruce has done a shit job? Go! You didn't ask about Bruce's performance/tactics. You asked "will I get more pelters for saying Bruce has done an ok job"? I answered yes. Meaning, I think you are going to get grief. I am not getting into your pathetic arguments you have a lot of. You love a good argument. Oh by the way, I think Bruce is an awful manager. No, I have no interest in explaining this to you. If your thoughts are different then so be it. If everyone thought the same then the world would be a boring place. Take care. I state my opinions. I back up my arguments with evidence and with facts. You can think Bruce is a poor manager AND think he has done an okay job this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I know you don't but, opposition box touches, you sort of need them to score lol. It just reminds me of the Pardew years, he'd get a win somewhere and it would be "give him credit today". Sheff United drew with Villa last week, and were horrific today. Dubrvaka had our most completed passes didn't he all season, that's absurd. And fwiw I think he's got a good squad this year. ASM would start for most top 8 teams. Looking at the state of the league and how we finished last season I think we would be doing much better with our previous manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you on most of that, but tbf, any team is going to struggle without a goalscorer. I'd put money on us going down next season if Ashley and Bruce are still here.

Guest neesy111 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Bruce has done fine this season considering, but I still think he's benefitted from lots of luck in it and want him gone because he's just an Ashley puppet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad is okay, but think most managers would struggle for goals with the attacking options we have here.

Pretty much never troubled us. for doing the absolute bare minimum you'd expect of a top flight professional football manager. fixed that for you tongue in cheek by the way, fair play to the useless cunt for the result today, however if we get taken over and he's kept on i will be absolutely mortified beyond words Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlouismag Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Let Bacon Boi finish the season at this point, and then give him the golden parachute. Take time over the next couple of weeks to pick the new boss to oversee the re-imagining of the whole operation. IF the takeover goes through, don't think compo to another Club will be a serious consideration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carrick18 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I don't hate the guy, he seems a fairly nice person to hang out with, but the mental gymnastics required to justify him staying are exhausting. He shafted his former employers to move here, so I have no issue in dismissing him because we have greater ambitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much never troubled us. 1) they had ten men 2) they played literally a couple of days ago Neither of those things should detract from how comfortably we put them away today, unless your default is he gets no praise ever.

No it isn't? but those things obviously matter, unless you think playing a full strength team, fully fit and not knackered is somehow easier to play? keeper and a defender error for both goals? Does context not exist? Results and performances are what matter. Both were good today. Can't have any complaints unless you're simply desperate not to give out any praise at all.

Yorkie Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 "We can't take anything for granted because you never know. The points return with eight games to go... I can't be more pleased. "If somebody said with eight games to go that we're two points behind Arsenal, I wouldn't quite believe it." Little old Newcastle. The little club that could. Hope he fucks off before Christmas and we appoint someone who's capable of and wants to achieve something beyond looking over our shoulders. He's Ashley through and through, this mug. Limited, grateful, low expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 So he gets his season in charge finishes in a respectable position, takeover is confirmed and he is graciously let go. Bruce gets to come out ahead and gets another PL job, we get a decent manager. Win win all round there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
