I've never found Bruce's football under us mind numblingly dull. Frustrating sometimes but not dull.
Fair point.
Probably not as bad as some of the stuff Lambert and McLeish produced and Pullis under Stoke was truly awful.
It’s still a long way from football under Saunders, Atkinson And even Little, which I guess is how a lot of us judge.

I find it dull in the main with smatterings of some decent play on the odd ocasion.

We're dull but competitively dull now.

As opposed to dull with a big yellow streak running from top to bottom.

They should use that as a slogan to sell half season tickets.

They played good football for about half an hour in the late seventies and for ten minutes under Mowbray, but other than that they've served up turgid shite for as long as I can remember. Bobby Gould anyone? Brian Talbot?  Delusional twats. 

Pulis suited them down to the ground, it was a match made in heaven.

Please let them appoint Mclaren to pay "Albion" style football. Their fans are so delusional about the way they should play and how huge a club they are. Plus was detestable and I would happily never see a side of his face a rugby field again.

We can't really mock Albion fans in regards to the demand about the style of football, all you need do is look at the Bruce Out thread and you'll see that we have a fair share of fans with the same mindset.

Indeed. Football fans wanting to watch decent football. Outrageous.

Winning football is more important for me, as lets face it that's all that matters.  No points are handed out for good football.

It's frustrating because you care but a neutral would probably find it mind numbingly dull.

I couldn't care less what a Neutral thinks about out style of play to be honest.

You would if the neutral was a player undecided about coming to us or a sponsor undecided about investing in us.  In this day and age image is everything.  It should not be but that is the reality.

You could argue that it didnt stop Nacer Chadli or Barry signing for Pulis. They could have done a lot better for themselves.

That they had better offers at that time, you don’t.

Maybe they didnt but they could have stayed where they were but they chose to play for Pulis.

You're missing my point. Brian commented on how a manager who plays drab football could put good footballers off signing for hin. In this case, it did'nt.
