It's Brucehog Day

[Toronto Villa]

Steve Bruce doesn’t have a progressive, modern, inventive football bone in his body. Let alone brain.

[maigrait]

Okay keeper fecked up for the goal but not enough shots on target. Should have been raining them in. No plan B whenever the other team shut up shop.

The biggest issue for me is the same as it's always been. We don't really seem to have a plan, if one of our better players doesn't do a bit of magic we look pretty clueless. The results have been ok, but that's 4 games against shit sides and you'd probably struggle to pull 45 minutes worth of us playing well from them.

As has been said before, the performances are consistent in that we rarely play well or look convincing, we have no style of play so you will always get random results.
Today proves that a Bruce is just not good enough.
We will not progress until someone in authority works this out.

Honestly though, the players have to shoulder some blame.. Jack, Kodjia, Adomah, Green, RHM, McGinn, Hourihane.. all on for plenty of time to construct something. They weren't exactly set up poorly, and barely created two shots on goal.

Can only conclude they're told not to shoot .

Once again this intransigent nutsack plays people out of position. Bruce will never get us promoted - and you can colour that any fucking way you like.

He's going to say...

[soft voice]
"You only have to look back a few weeks to see the club was in turmoil, so for us to get a point now, away from home is terrific. Ipswich have a certain way of playing and that's the Championship for you. The fans were exceptional, massive club, really massive club with fantastic owners."

Said every fan of every Bruce side ever.

Club has nine hundred midfielders. The chief strategy is to kick it over their heads.

[Villafirst]

We thumped Ipswich 4-0 only 4 months ago....team has gone backwards.

[themossman]

Bruce bingo. There will be supportive but backhanded comments about Nyland, designed to imply the result was about his error not the line up or hour of toothless attacking.

The fact that Johnstone left due to the club’s uncertain status, when Bruce himself stayed, may be alluded to.

[mr underhill]

'Bredan? Wes here....'

[curiousorange]

Nyland fucking up annoyed me, but I can accept every team will concede some goals. Winning isn't a difficult science - you go and score more goals than the other team. Bruce doesn't seem to realise this, which is why everybody's rapidly losing what patience they had with him.

[four fornicholl]

Can we reset the poll?,I'm curious.Wrong thread.
