BlueStar Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 The crowd reaction would have completely fucking demoralised the players on Sunday. A rousing "pogo if you love the toon" after those two early goals would have spurred the lads to victory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie john Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 "I think we're at a bigger disadvantage because of what our crowd brings us" #NUFC I'd say we're at an absolute disadvantage because of your complete ineptitude.

Happinesstan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 He “hopes” we’re good enough to beat Morecambe ffs "Hope we're good enough". "That's always been my philosophy". That's not a fucking philosophy. It makes you despair, doesn't it? How on earth the press and Sky and all his alleged mates don't completely destroy him and his unbelievable non tactics is beyond belief. Knowing in advance that we were losing Rafa made me despair. This cunt just makes me laugh. I've given up on all aspects of the media when it comes to integrity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Deep inside, i like to think that he is painfully aware of his full gamut of inadequacies. And cries himself to sleep at night. Sobbing his latest excuse like a mantra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobbing his latest excuse like a mantra. Well that's pretty evident. He was all but crying on the touchline on Sunday. Of course he knows he's shit, his awful bluster and body language screams it.

Happinesstan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Shot himself in the foot. He won't be able to use the old "Fans were demanding more and we got carried away" [after bringing on Emil Krafth as the 6th CB. Or will he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Elsewhere Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 The good thing is for the first time since he got here there seems to be a vast majority wanting him out. All I’ve seen on social media is him getting hammered by everyone and 95% wanting him out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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.

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.
