GideonShandy Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Another verbatim Bruce quote tonight: "We didn't do enough and it's as simple as that." I genuinely think that's the extent of his tactical sophistication. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Another verbatim Bruce quote tonight: "We didn't do enough and it's as simple as that." I genuinely think that's the extent of his tactical sophistication. I would love someone like Stan Colymore to have a serious 5 minute debate with Bruce. Asking him relevant but awkward questions such as "Well Steve, that's now EIGHT games without a win, why do you think that is"? Now to me that's a quite truthful tame question. Why is no f@cker asking him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 If it’s a “you’ve got 12 games, keep us up type” thing, then you don’t need a proper manager who knows how to build. You just need a mad bastard who can stir up some passion in the dressing room for 5 or 6 games. So you’re probably looking at: Pearson Barton Kilcline Kinnear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Defensively. 200 saves made combined between Elliot, Darlow & Dubravka in 76 games before Bruce. 207 saves made combined between Darlow & Dubravka in 55 games under Bruce. 95 goals conceded in 76 games pre-Bruce (7th best in the league) 84 goals conceded in 55 games under Bruce (worst of the 17 teams who’ve been in the league the same time). 295 shots on target faced in 76 games before Bruce. 291 shots on target faced in 55 games under Bruce. Attacking. 997 shots in total in 76 games before Bruce (13.1 per game). 549 shots in total in 55 games under Bruce (less than 10 shots per game).

Candi_Hills Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Pretty much anyone will freshen things up and give us a chance. The Mackems had about 15 managers in 4 seasons and it was always enough to finish 17th. Until it wasn’t. But we don’t have to worry about that with PIF on the way.

Abra Dubravka Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Ideally someone short term until a takeover can be done, who's obviously a strong coach and leader personality. We took a 180 from what Rafa was to a clueless tosspot, so need to turn back around to head in the direction Rafa was taking us once more...

Chris_R Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Tuchel Sarri Allegri Pulis One of those surely. I'd take anyone with a fucking pulse at this point, and I'd probably even give it to someone without one. I'm serious on that last point. They could appoint a dead person and just let the players sort it out pre-match themselves and we'd probably do better, like when Clough had already used his subs and took someone off for having a shitter, and just played the rest of the match with 10. We could do the managerial equivalent of that and see a stark improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Bruce is deluded if he thinks he can save our season, he needs saving from himself, Ashley has been here twice before, surely he sees the signs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Anyone think Southgate would be a good six month appointment? Looking unlikely that the Euros will be on, would look good on his CV for after England etc etc? Would he do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I bet all those clowns who used to constantly compare Bruce to Rafa, trying to say there was no difference between the two, are feeling rather foolish these days.
