Happinesstan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I stupidly ended up looking Good thing is, he's not making excuses. "Look, I'm not going to try to make an excuse, but I think it's fair to say that people's away form is sometimes better than their home form, especially when we are playing behind closed doors." Incredible. The impact of the home crowd vs the away crowd has a bearing on players performances, especially when there is no crowd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Honestly, what is the shifty bastard hiding in those pockets. Never takes his hands out of them. No hand gestures from this one, when he can just stare on gormlessly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Another fucking article about a player coming out after a shite defeat with "harsh words" or "you wouldn't have wanted to be in that dressing room after full-time" kinda sound bite. Why do we keep needing to have 'harsh words' etc. How fucking often?!! It seems like it's a monthly (probably more often if I researched it) occurrence. That article could be a cut and paste job, just change the date and the players name saying it. If you need to have that kind of inquest repeatedly then surely that just screams that something majorly flawed is going on no?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I understand that managers value tactics differently and sometimes too much focus is put on it, but I’m actually so frustrated at what he’s saying, or not saying, that I feel an urge to e-mail him. Just to ask him if he does analyse games and situations at all. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him do that in interviews. Most managers, even the PFMs, will do that now and then, say something like we gave them to much space there and there or our back four fell too deep or they were compact and we didn’t move the ball quickly enough or whatever. I can’t remember him delivering anything reminiscing of a tactical analysis. With him is always an excuse and then ”back to basics, we have to roll up or sleeves”. I want managers to be able to at least pretend that they know what went wrong and what should be done about it. Maybe it’s just me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consortium of one Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I'm 59 years old. I've followed sports all my life. Newcastle has had a succession of managers that I wish players that I like...didn't have to play for. That has never happened before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want managers to be able to at least pretend that they know what went wrong and what should be done about it. Maybe it’s just me. In all the praise I've read about Bruce from journalists and ex-pros, all I've ever heard about him is what a good manager he is. It doesn't really get much more specific than that. "He's been in the game a long time", or "the players love him"....that's the sort of meaningless twaddle you get from people paid to regurgitate this stuff. So it doesn't come as that much of a surprise when his team looks utterly clueless whether playing Brighton or Blackburn in the space of a week.

Deuce Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 He “hopes” we’re good enough to beat Morecambe ffs There’s no combination of players we could put out that shouldn’t be good enough to beat a League Two side. Failing to do so is purely down to coaching. Edit: a League Two side that finished 22nd in the table last season ffs. Could play Joelinton at keeper and win.

I said this after that shambles against Blackburn. Their side looked younger in age and experience than ours, yet they passed us off the park, the only thing missing from their play was finishing, and that's the one attribute you have to pay for. It was clear as day their side was much better coached than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
