But it ended up with 3 points. Get this to the finishline, part ways, and never mention his name again. edit: Or perhaps Willock deserves the praise?

HawK Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 At the moment it's the Pardew 5th season all over again. We're winning despite Bruce's management and tactics, not because of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 He's lucked out in that a good manager may well tell players like ASM and Willock "just go out there and play", which luckily is the sum total of Bruce's tactical instruction to all players anyway.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Even Wilson’s only been good for quite a short period. He looked broken and sick of playing before he got injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The only thing stopping these problems from happening again, is Ashley leaving and taking Bruce with him. If it stays the same then its another season of Brucies gloopy porridge football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I am not concerned at all about Steve Bruce at this point, if journalists or fans want to start singing his praises again because we had a decent run of games, that's fine by me. My hopes re the club are totally aligned with a takeover, which hopefully will go through this summer. The new owners will thank Bruce for his services and then send him on his way. If Luke Egghead and co want to lament the unjust treatment of Bruce, then fine by me. Not that long to go in the greater scheme of things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 According to Willock, Bruce's instructions to him a couple of weeks ago was ' Just run around and get in the box'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweMag Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Was told one month ago (from a person very close to one of the first team players) that Bruce had lost the dressing room. Surprised we managed to pick up 8 points since then! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Listening to Ritchie's comments pitch side over the past few weeks it's pretty obvious the players are managing themselves on the pitch, exactly the same as Pardews team with Colo in charge.

Surprised we managed to pick up 8 points since then! It certainly looked that way a few weeks and months back. I think Bruce has been helped by ASM and Wilson returning, along with Willock getting some goals from midfield. Hopefully we just have to see this season out (dunno how many times ive said that over the past twelve years) and we can all say good bye to Bruce and "fingers crossed" Ashley.
