Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This year's vintage is a little more professional and is getting on with business. 22/23 was a bit more from the heart and passion led. Said it before but you can see it in the difference in goal celebrations, distinct lack of knee slides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The work he did with that 22/23 side was unbelievable relative to the ability of the XI that played the most (Isak was out for about 4 months etc.). Our incredible defensive record, the way he utilised Bruno, the Tripps-Bruno-Miggy triangle, axis of Joe, Dan Burn at left back An absolutely outrageous coaching performance.

Kid Icarus Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Love how much he shirks the limelight. After the few weeks he's had even the most cynical amongst us wouldn't begrudge him letting the players put him front and centre on the victory photo. Absolutely none of it, straight to the back. What a ledge. Edited April 26 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis H Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 A few “I don’t want to go to sleep” stats. 24/25 - 85 goals, 1.9 per game. 23/24 -102 goals, 2 per game. 1.75 goals per game over his whole time here.

Fatwax Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Surprised that Bruce is breaking the 1. Edited April 26 by Fatwax Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Nearly 2 goals a game over nearly 4 years is outstanding like. When the day comes, hopefully decades down the line, that he leaves, it'll be at that point that we'll realise how spoiled we were like.

The next four fixtures are very much about maintaining standards though: Manchester United (h) Crystal Palace (h) Aston Villa (a) Ipswich Town (h), replacing Burnley We took the full 12 points from those fixtures last season... Personally, I'm confident. Down to +6 after Villa, but that's a satisfactory run for me. We got 4 points from 12 in the equivalents of our last 4 fixtures of the season: Brighton (a) - 3-1 loss Chelsea (h) - 4-1 win Arsenal (a) - 4-1 loss Everton (h) - 1-1 draw Every one of them is winnable this season. I think 9 points is a realistic hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 It’s remarkable what this man has achieved with a squad that hasn’t been properly added to in three windows while all our major rivals strengthened. If we finish in the CL spots then it defies belief how he’s managed that as well as a cup. He is the perfect manager for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for it if Bunce has banned knee slides Let other teams mash up their ACL’s and meniscus when they score.

Could you do the same for when we started winning (Late January) as I actually think it’d be even more impressive once you took those early games turning the oil tanker away from the rocks results out of the equation. I was chatting to a mate who's a Leeds fan after they'd secured promotion and he reminded me of chats we were having in the January of that year where we still weren’t winning, but thankfully hadn’t been cut adrift. I was still shitting myself that we were going down that year, as whilst performances had dramatically improved. The results hadn’t yet and things were looking dicey. But once we got the reinforcements that window, we genuinely haven’t looked back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 He's genuinely an elite level manager. We've still got a couple years of rebuilding to do squad wise and that's minus the elite infrastructure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh we've been so consistent overall since then that it more or less negates that initial bedding in period that Howe had. It closes the gap on 3rd by 9 points Edited April 27 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
