jackyboy Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I wish that one or two of the players would leak something about how influencial Jones has been Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Saw the same in first half when Manquillo was getting treatment. Almiron and ASM were by the dugout getting instructions from Jones. Bruce bumbling around in the background doing nothing. It does look like Jones is taking over, but could also easily just be coincidences that it's being shown as Jones is talking to them and not Bruce. Shouldn't really come to too early conclusions. The way we've played is more of a sign that seeing Jones talk to them anyway IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Think its Jones doing all the stuff a manager should be doing: looking at the opposition, tactical setups, formations et cetera whereas Bruce is probably the man manager/motivator. Such a bizarre setup but it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Bruce has been sussed. Don’t believe he motivates anyone. Don’t see what you would be inspired by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Wish he was just put in charge so we knew if it was his idea to keep with the same formation that clearly wouldn't work tonight. It reeks of Bruce to just keep going with what has worked, but could just as easihwvr been Jones tonight. Whoever picked the tactics tonight got it horribly wrong.

It was mad to run this system out without Wilson, when Wilson will be out for weeks. Any normal coaching team would have come up with a new solution. As usual, passive and shite at their jobs.

Fantail Breeze Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 He's so obviously in charge it's painful watching Bruce and Agnew trying to look like they're contributing Yep. He practically did everything today during the 90 minutes you’d expect the manager to be doing. Bruce was just wandering around like a lost lamb.

Give it a go with Joelinton as the poor man's Wilson I guess. The problem for me wasn't the lack of Wilson though, it was how obvious it was that it's not working against a 3 man defence.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Probably the worst we've played since he was appointed. The ‘wide striker’ was ideal with Wilson in it. Playing Gayle in that role was fucking ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you ignore his Luton stint, he's only been an assistant his entire career anf at their first big job they failed massively. We're putting our survival hopes on that?
