OpenC Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) I understand they can't get a new manager in overnight and they've got decisions to make on DoF but there would have been (almost) zero grief if Jones was standing there instead. Beyond me why they didn't just bullet the hopeless fucker at the outset Edited October 17, 2021 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only imagine they were waiting for the arrival of the Don, Al Rumayyan or whatever he's called. Doesn't look the type who would have much trouble giving Bruce his marching orders.

A new manager might not start the 2 centre halves we were starting 5 years ago in a lower league and instead start our best 2. He might play an actual LB at LB and not play Joelinton week in week out. Just a small start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcnick Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Problem is when your not a good team you need 3 things, a game plan, a high work rate to pressure the ball and above all the team needs to be FIT, we have non of those 3 traits sadly and it will take time to install that mentality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very clear he has tuned Jones out since jones started getting all the credit for our upturn in fortunes last season. Also, if Jones had taken this match he would have been on the side-line constantly directing the team, and would have also done so during the break in play. Think Jones has just left Bruce to it and can't be arsed anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly every player needs to be moved on and replaced quickly and that is a massive job for the consortium. We knew this though to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So difficult to just go out them and beat a team like Spurs on desire alone. You can see we kind of started that way , and Spurs adjusted and took control of the game, ad there was no direction for our lot from the sideline, and they just got destroyed.
