Also we defended those stupid archaic long throw ins very effectively and a lot of credit for that must go to Jedinak. He was the free floating "defender"  in those events and usually got to the ball first.

Loving Brucie at the moment. The guy just knows what he's doing in this league. He's given us a strong spine. Something we've lacked for years. We're a couple of solid additions away from not only dominating in this division, but being ready to stay up in the Prem next season. It's still evident we need another midfield option and we need a new right back. But he's got the CH's playing well. He's turned Gollini around. He's got Jedinak dominating and he's getting a lot out of Adomah and Kodjia (Adomah seems to have a knack of creating chances for Kodjia and he's already layed on a few of his goals). Likewise I think Grealish, if he can get his head down and nail down his place, will excel.

Agreed, though i thought the spine of Vlaar, Delph, and Benteke was strong. It was what was around them that failed miserably.

2007/08 is the last time we won 3 in a row at home by my reckoning.

I still think we're a way off being able to compete in the premier - especially in midfield.

I'm just enjoying us being pretty good and winning again after such a long time of absolute shit

More important than any of that yesterday we managed to take throw ins quickly and find our own players more often than not. It really is, as Mr Hall once sang, the dawning of a new era.

Even more important than that, it would appear Bruce (Hi Steve) is reading and taking note of my posts on here.

Have Bruce's comments on Tony's plans been posted anywhere?

Quite a few positives from Saturday.  I liked that we scored just before half time after conceding an equaliser. In recent games/months/years that would probably have been the other way round.  Then getting the last minute pen to calm the nerves, again we've mostly been victims of that, not the ones doing the scoring.

We never looked like losing. An unusual state of affairs, but its been that way for a good few games now.

We look very compact. That the goal they scored came from a mistake in a stupid position on the pitch says a lot. That it didn't come from the opponents breaking us down through regular open play. Something Cardiff didn't look like doing much all game.

Yeah, forget it. I've read it in the Mail now and I'm not linking to that rag.

No deets anyway.

We'd be already promoted if we'd got the Huddersfield manager.

Infrequent poster...but avid reader.

Under the Steve B thread I haven't seen any serious criticism of him. ;D

As a Manager he does the job, and he is proving it with our squad -
absolutely NOTHING to complain about his ability.

Last night, when I scanned some other forums...Gooners, Hammers etc
What came up in a fair few was Stevie being headhunted by Man Utd !


Seems Jose-the-Special, has blown it with his board.
As he said himself: "The Richest managers are the Ones Sacked most often"

Not bothered about trolling the Man Utd numerous forums, just thought it odd
- that the London forums have Steve as Number One  choice for a sacking that hasn't taken place...WTF !

That is the important point, Steve Bruce, old boy, Giggs etc in attendance,Carrington at large.
Couple of Londan forums,started this, and it may pick up with the media in general.

Whether true or not...if Jose goes,..our Steve is Number One they say.

...and he has never stayed at any club when a better offer came in for him.

Ability - 99%
Loyalty -1%


KEEP JOSE
