I remember seeing an interview with Bruce just before he joined whilst scouring Youtube (can't remember who he was the manager of at the time) where he said he "didn't really do tactics!?!" That comment shocked and horrified me equal measures.
If that means " resting" ( getting shot of ) the French ones then so be it.

Time is a commodity nobody will be afforded it seems.
Dean Smith lost four on the bounce and won 1 in 6 or 7 earlier on. With a manager who has never managed a club with a ground as big as the Holte, the Turner comparisons will follow and people will want him gone.Or Rowett and his conservative counter attacking football. How long before he becomes a Bluenose this or that?Time is a commodity nobody will be afforded it seems.
We can't get through 3 managers in a season for the second season in a row. We're just going to have to tough this out.
Quote from: Ads on February 14, 2017, 10:11:11 PMI don't think we've deserved to lose any of the last three games. I agree with something SHQ said about poor planning leaving us with nowt up top when ACON hit and we lost momentum against Cardiff and then Spurs and Wolves.With a bit more confidence we'd have put some of the chances away against Forest and Ipswich and tonight. It's fine margins.Newcastle game may suit us where, for once, the onus isn't on us to attack. I think as poor as the run is, we will turn it around.I am not having a pop as I respect your fair mindedness about him but I would also note I dont think we deserved to win a couple of Bruces wins either.Regardless IMHO as someone else just said (cant find the post) we are just too negative. One of the only (perhaps THE only) positive of Sherwood is at least he would go for it. Bruce fits in the mold of all our other recent managers in that he just gets more and more negative.I don't know why it happens but it does. IS there any evidence Bruce is going to change us into a free flowing attacking team? I dont think so, I dont think its in his DNA. Sadly.
