luck? He had some bad luck. my big hope with bruce is these results will surely spread confidence among a squad devoid of it for years. Play bad but get a result - well that's what they say about champions

He let us down today with his reluctance to change the game when we were under pressure.

 Indeed, and even then it seems to revolve around "any of you scored against blose?"

Christ Almighty. No accounting for his tactical nouce in the previous games then? Or no doubt you'll just write that off as good luck

With the players he had on the bench it was puzzling he did not change at the break. I would love to hear why he did not make changes before their goal when we were under pressure.

I get the feeling that you made up your mind about Bruce before he started and that nothing as intangible as better organisation, fitness and improved results is going to sway from that conviction.

 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

Eh?

 not really. i don't like his football but who cares if we get up? As someoneelse said he's obviously getting them practising the set pieces. which is good. I just think we've been bad for the majority of his games. fair play results wise. if we can play bad and get results all season then great. I don't think you can though.

He can fluke as many wins as he likes as far as I'm concerned
