yeah and if we get the same performances and not the results? you'll be moaning like me :0)

He wouldn't though, would he? He'd be moaning because of results and performances, rather than moaning after a run of four games undefeated because the new manager hasn't mysteriously transformed a side who hadn't won two games together in months into playing like Barcelona.

ah but he hasn't transformed the perforamances has he. we're still as shit as under RDM , just not losing so much

The object of football is to win games. We win more now than we did under Di Matteo. Therefore we're nowhere near as shit. Or so common sense would dictate.

I think some of us believe that the object of the game is to make fans happy. And so we can set the bar wherever we like, to make ourselves feel special.

 i'm sorry but you seem to think winning howoever badly you play is some sort of strategy for long term improvement. My point is it isn't and playing shite for 3 out 4 games but getting a result is possibly the daftest basis of optimism evoh.

I dread to think what will happen if we go on a bad run.  He is our last hope as far as I'm concerned.  God help us if we hound him out.

Shit as under RDM ...that's a sick comment and it beggars belief.

Just a quiet word but you sound utterly ludicrous right now. People are trying to politely point out that your logic, if indeed that's what it even is, is flawed.

its's simple. you don't tend to win a league constantly playing badly and winning. Please point me to a team who played arse all season according to their fans and won the league. At some point they played well, no? If you think we've run over the opposition in the last 4 games by somehow giving them all the possession  and letting them miss open goals and putting our one chance in, then indeed Bruce is a genius.

Whats that Fergie line someone mentioned the other day? The more we train the luckier we are or something? Seems applicable here.

Please point me to a team who have been shit for five seasons and then magically transformed into Barcelona in a fortnight.

Or maybe, just maybe, putting some points on the board whatever way possible is the first step. Thus giving the players some confidence and starting to improve performances.

yes we're playing arse to get some confidence. i get it. now tell me bruce is going to play like barca or even bournemouth once he gets the team up to scratch. of course not, this is what he does. I'm sorry but a bruce side is never going to dominate possession unless they add in the time it spends 20 foot in the air

Anyway it doesn't really matter. I will continue moaning about his limited talents and you will defend him. And if he succeeds then kudos to you, and if he fails, well i'm sure someone will claim i wanted him to fail ;)

No, we're getting results to gain confidence and until points are awarded for possession I'll stick with the old-fashioned approach that they're gained by scoring either as many or more goals than the opposition.

I can see your viewpoint but it's a little miserable. My only advice is find a lady with big boobs.
