mrmojorisin75 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 He’s literally been given byes to two cup Quarter Finals and he plays the ‘woe is me’ card. Just seen the Newport result. I'll say one thing for the cunt, he's had more luck in cup draws in 12 months than I can remember any of our other managers having. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hope we lost tomorrow. Can’t cope with the media tonguing his hoop for the rest of season, excusing the shit show just because he got us to the quarters of the league cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Almost like he’s saying if we’d somehow managed to fluke a result on Sunday like we did on several occasions last season, that his decisions would have been correct. I hate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 What decision did you get wrong Steve? Picking the team that got beat is all I could get from his quotes. I think that's about as specific as you'll get from Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyofNick Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It's like back to the days of Pardew were you were just waiting for what excuse we'd get before and after the game. I hate all this pre match "we'll try to do something". Means nothing other than you don't have any tactics and you're just sending out the players to figure something out on the field. I really wish we'd look for a younger manager that maybe doesn't have a name but at least tries to implement a way of playing, at least then you could just go 'these players aren't good enough'.

STM Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Before a match against Morecambe, he should be saying stuff like, "We must be beating this side," and "there are no excuses for our players." Instead Steve says we are going to "give it a go!" It might seem nitpicking, but psychologically hes lost battle before its begun. Just like against Brighton when it was, "they like to keep the ball." All the home dressing room hears is, "it's ok if we dont have the ball." Hes a clown.

Guest reefatoon Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It’s what shit managers do. Throw in all their excuses prior to the game to try and avoid any blame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Media should be calling him out over his pre-match comments if they backfire (he does say "roll your sleeves up/and give it a go" quite a lot doesn't he?). Sadly they risk being banned by the club if they dare become so outspoken. An unfiltered and frank presser is desperately needed and some fans on Twitter, as little as they speak for all of us, could do a brilliant job at asking the more uncomfortable questions which need to be addressed head-on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Almiron played well, Carroll was shocking. Therefore you know who'll start on Sunday. Almiron will. Bruce is a Pardew replica, hoof to the big man up front is the easy option which he understands, when he gets humped by a footballing team he'll react by going the other way without any real idea what he's doing. Inevitably at the first setback he'll be back to what he knows best which is big lads in the team, defend like your life depends on it, and hoof the ball to a big lad up front.

midds Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Could have scored 20 or conceded 15 and I still wouldn't have given a fuck. If others are getting something positive out of NUFC these days then good for them. It's just another game, just another result (albeit a good one) for this zombie club - plodding on but heading nowhere slowly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
