Would suggest there was a chance for it to be a bit more meticulous if the self styled defensive coach hadn't fucked off abroad for some sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went on holiday, if he really thinks it's appropriate he should have no problem saying it. It's not like his coaching would make any difference anyway, might as well catch some sun.

Yorkie Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 18 times we've conceded 3+ goals in a league game since Bruce arrived (out of 80, so that's just short of a quarter of all league games; a fucking quarter). We've conceded 4+ on nine occasions. 5 three times. Absolutely pitiful. Previous manager 3+: 14 (10.6%) 4+: 2 5+: 0 (out of 132 league games).

Ben Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 No matter how weak the Chronicle is these days when you start to go after them like that its the beginning of the end, add to that Lee Ryder who Bruce detests for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Can't get over how bad a relationship he's created for himself with the fucking Chronicle and Easy fucking Ryder, of all people. You couldn't wish for a softer touch but he's decided to make them his enemy. It's absolutely crackers. Bloke is as thick as a submarine door. All the more mystifying as to why the likes of Caulkin stay in his corner. From what I know of local journos, their favourite managers are the ones who give the press the time of day. But Bruce is constantly a wanker to them. Forever on the defensive, argumentative, hostile (certainly in Craig Hope's case), interrupts, patronising... he's bloody awful. Fucking wish they'd consider smacking him round the face with his terrible statistics, like those I quoted in the last post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Glad to see he’s unsurprisingly hoyed Woodman under the bus with those quotes about the goals. Another defeat, perfect. After being beaten by Leeds, hopefully Norwich beat Watford and we’ll be perfectly positioned in 20th. That Man Utd team were poor. We could’ve easily have got something today under a competent manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Loving the meltdown I'm not going to lie, it's amazing. He's so easily rattled by the simplest of questions and his reaction always paints him as an absolute cunt. Fucks off to Portugal for a week, watches his side (and it absolutely is his now after £100m+ over 5 windows) roll over and claims they were prepared meticulously. Bet other fans are fucking roaring after reading his comments. Obnoxious, incompetent, fat lying cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Would LOVE Leeds to put a couple of early goals past us on Friday. The thick fuckers in the stand would finally turn and he’d crumble. The best thing is because Ashley is never going to sack him, he’s going to end up getting fucking pelted week on week. It’ll be a million times better than watching the match. I’m almost excited for our games for this reason only. Bring on the bummings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
