ToonArmy1892 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Even with the disruption we've had (Rafa saga, new players joining late, injuries, fixtures against top teams early and Bruce's 'tactics') we aren't far adrift so I'm quite hopeful for over the course of the season. Hopeful for what? He is a known WUM/mackem/Bishop pawn from TOTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I think it’s just over 50-50 like. There’s some very poor squads down there with us (Norwich, Brighton, I still see Sheff Utd down there come May despite a fair start). I think we’ve got a core of players who could see us pull ahead of these, it’s just down to Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair, this squad is capable of staying up but not with the dinosaur tactics under Bruce I can see us getting a few results like the Spurs one but if we concede early and have to chase the game the goals against column will take a massive hit.

BlueStar Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 How long will we go with Colchester having beaten more Premier League teams than us? Thank fuck we played Spurs away cos if it was Bournemouth at home or something that game we'd be rock bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Our central midfield is pretty terrible and without much back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzilla Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Main problem is the lack of creativity and goals from midfield and has been for a few years now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If we had a decent manager we’d stay up. With Bruce it’s 50-50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If we had a decent manager we’d stay up. With Bruce it’s 50-50. Yeah, that’s where I am. If we stay up it’s in spite of him. If we had someone like Eddie Howe I think we’d be in the 13th-16th bracket. Lofty heights I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yep. Also as Bournemouth are becoming more established in the top flight, the calibre of players he can attract is improving, something I thought he was harshly criticised for in the first 2-3 seasons when he didn't have much to spend in Premier League terms and was trying to build a Premier League quality squad almost from scratch. Can see him ending up at Everton if Silva's results don't improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

astraguy Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If Bruce lasts the season we will easily go down i don't look at any game and think we can win it, Plus injuries to key players will fuck us up and truth to be told i couldn't give a fuck Could quote this every weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It amazes me that whenever Ashley puts a yes may in and buys his own players he gets his club relegated. Bizarrely it appears he and 40,000 of his supporters forgot this though. Can’t wait for his club to fall off the face of the earth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Down 100% We know Ashley dosn't learn from mistakes when it comes to football and this is another McClaren situation, he'll stay in the job until it is way too late. Thread title amazingly apt. If it wasn't for the 15 choices above I think the poll would show 80% of the board is certain of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 We're not defo down like. Tons of teams within 3 points of us. But we clearly need a new manager to have a chance. Bruce won't keep us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce won't keep us up. Really? But you know Ashley WILL keep him till last few days of the transfer window and then sack him, maybe even beyond that, you know he will, he did it with McLaren who we all knew was failing from an early stage. He will make the same cock up , you just know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 They pulled the trigger with McClaren so they'll do so with Bruce if it looks odds on. Might be too late (again), of course. The team will probably improve though. Dunno really, I'm sticking with survive for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
