‘Look it’s easy for people to say it should just click battt they forget we’ve lost 10, 11, 13, 14 of The players who started the champ’ship final/got us to the champ’ship final.  And I don’t know what I’m doin’ apparently.  Given time we’ll be there, there or thereabouts.’

Bruce has said after the game "I ain't ever going to walk away from a challenge".

Except he did just that at Sheffield United, Wigan, Palace, Small Heath, Wigan a second time and Hull.

I didn't want him, I've never took to his football ideas and I've pretty much  consistently wanted him out throughout his reign. However I've always thought he was a decent chap.
Now he hasn't even got that going for him.

10,11,13,14? What happened to twelve? He can't count.

Even when he was associated with the tramps I always thought he seemed a decent sort. Now he's up there with Mr Fickle for me. I've started to really dislike him. He'll chuck anyone under the bus and spout any lies to cover his own back.

Des Little you sum up my feelings perfectly. That last 20 minutes was as painful as anything I have witnessed in 70 years and 1000+ games from the Holte.  It made me want to cry.

he's made such a fuck up of managing the squad that we're mooking around looking at the likes of a 93 year old James Collins to come in at CB, despite the fact that he moved Elphick on, and despite Tuanzabe being a CB he refuses to actually play there.

He's fucked it up big time, and his not-my-fault-not-ever defensiveness is reaching O'Learian levels.

It says something when the best thing today is Legion editing Risso's thread title properly. Shoddy work Mart.

Bruce out!!!!

Deary me, it was intentional. The 1s after the exclamation marks denoting such utter frustration that the keyboard is being hammered furiously.

Little better?

Perfect! 👍

Lost 7 off the last 8. 1 point in 2017 playing shit football and he still don't know what his best formation is. He's got to go

Over 18 months on and this still applies

Still think we miss Terry organising from the back.

I agree Lee which shows how useless the coaches are

Missed today's fiasco as had a long standing party to attend, unfortunately it was not to celebrate Bruce's dismissal. But I am keeping the next couple of weeks free just in case ......
