I'd have rather that chance had fallen to Baker than him, it was a pitiful strike to add to his vast portfolio.

Can't believe some of the crap said on here!

We have been shit for absolutely ages, we have had 4 managers (including caretakers) since October 2015 all bloody useless, during that time we have P44 W4 D15 L25, won 4 f**king games!

Then Bruce comes in, not one of these players has he bought, yet in 4 games he is unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws, yet for some people that is still not good enough because we aren't playing like Barcelona yet!

Give the bloke a bit of credit for what he has achieved in the extremely short time he has been here, he is stuck with the players he has inherited for now, so he has to play players that the fans (due to past endevours) aren't happy about but that is not Bruce's fault!

100% agree

Agree totally.

All I see is an experienced manager who has come in and got us looking a solid half decent unit inside 4 games. Personally I'm happy with the start he's made and I'm certainly not even thinking about what we'd be like in  the Premier League.

if you saw a decent half solid unit today then fair play. I just saw the same mistakes made all season going unpunished for once by the combination of luck and worse finishers than Heskey playing for the opposition

I would be really interested to know how you think Bruce could have done any better given the circumstances 8 out of 12 points FFS

Given his lack of options in midfield he has done well. Performances arent great but we are getting points on the board. Baby steps and all that

play it on the floor, pass? My point is simple, unfortunately Clayton Donaldson having a mare is not going to be on the end of the most of the attacks we face this season. yeah we sneaked it and got another draw we didn't deserve, just like some of the draws or losses we didn't deserve under RDM for the opposite reasons. Sooner or later your luck runs out

 yeah quite. no-one sane would blame Bruce for the squad he's inherited, though i'd say it's more to his liking than rdm's

Bloody hell how about taking each match as it comes rather than doom mongering about what might happen. We've got a shitty fixture out of the way let's just push on eh?

well the only difference between bruce's worse games and RDM's is the inability of the opposition to put their chances away in Bruce's. Like i said lucky or new manager bounce. I hope its the former
