Rod Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Bruce will be looking on the side lines with complete disbelief (and loads of tongue poking) at us getting an unjust point. Just get rid of him please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Aye, Bruce will be looking for a point and will probably get it the fucking coward. Refuses to go for games without ASM, Wilson and Almiron it seems. 0-0. Shame as a win would put us 5 clear with a game in hand and will probably be the springboard to seeing us safe. Ugh.

Alberto2005 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Tbf we don't actually want to get relegated, so Fulham getting beat and Bruce getting no credit is the best we can hope for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I can see an ultra defensive team tonight , AC and Hendricks in the team and Bruce telling them 0-0 is the aim. Everyone of us knows this will be his thinking , Miggy on bench , we hardly lay a glove on them, concede late and then go for it in the last 10 mins . I’m no genius but this is pretty much how we will be set up, a draw , 100% . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The word on the street is that Krath hasn’t travelled so we’re at an advantage already. The bad news is that after last nights result Bruce will be looking to shoe horn in as many defensive players as possible in the line up. If we had a decent manager I’d actually think matching Brighton’s 5 at the back tonight would be a sensible option. But that would involve dropping Shelvey, picking 3 forwards and Willock, which is far beyond this clueless cunt. Though Lampty is out it’s very important we don’t get exposed by their 3 forwards with Lallana picking us apart. The out cry if he goes to 5 at the back will be loud in light of last nights result, but we’d be wise to remember the home game against these. If we match them up it prevents the risk of Potter outdoing us tactically, providing he picks the right players for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It'll be 2 wins in 20 after tonight. 2 wins in 20 and still no sign of him being sacked. That's Mike Ashley's ambition for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canny thinkable to me like. If he survived a defeat here I would start to believe there is a clause where he can be sacked with less compensation in the bottom 3.

TRon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Oh well, Fulhams loss tonight means this is another match that we don't have to win now. Bruce can set us up nice and negative to try and secure that much needed point. I think it would be a disaster to go defensive against Brighton, that will play right into their hands like it did earlier this season. Jones more attacking formation will be much more effective against them. They don't score many goals so even if we get hit on the counter, they might well miss the chances. Going defensive would make absolutely no sense whatsoever in this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ve got a chance if we set up the same as we did v Southampton and Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 0-0 written all over this. With the players available I just can’t see anything but a comfortable Brighton win. The only hope we have is if Brighton continue their struggle to put the ball in the net and Bruce has one of his fluke wins, as there is no chance he will set the team out to win the game.

TRon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Bruce will set us up to get a point and we'll end up getting beat I know that's his natural fear drenched instinct, but after seeing what happened in our home game against them, he'd have to be absolutely no idea at all if he thinks letting them enjoy leisurely possession is the way to go. We need to put out an aggressive team putting them under pressure. Neither side can score goals, so the best bet is to play in their half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
