For the first time since he took over Steve Bruce will be walking out the tunnel under real pressure in the Ipswich game, suddenly things feel serious, beat Ipswich and we calm down and he can breathe easier but fuck it up and I fear for him and us.

He has lost the plot imo. Playing hourihane right when he's left sided is mental. He seems to be putting square pegs in round holes which suggests he hasn't a clue. If had had a long term plan of us playing 352 then he w9udl have bought the players for us to do it. As it stands one injury at CD then we are seeing Hutton as a venture back

Are you suggestioing we will be able to breath easier because it widens the gap between us and the relegation places?

We could easily slip in to a relegation scrap here. The Doc must be wondering what more he needs to do.

Sadly yes, apologies for my lack of faith.

Looking like he's struggling with the pressure of a big club. Lots of worrying decisions but need to give him rest of season as the core of our problem is a losing mentality which he's inherited.  Making another change could get us relegated

He has lost the plot imo.

You're assuming he had a plot to begin with. The best we've looked since he's been here was the first couple of games but that was more down to improved effort than any type of plan. Since then it's been anarchy on the pitch give or take 5-10 minutes per game.

Time to assess Bruce will be at the end of the season. His record, not his football, deserves that.

He's got to get past negative thinking. Bringing all the players back at corners and taking both strikers off at 1-1, even with 10 men, inevitably invites waves of pressure.

Xia hasn't covered himself in glory either. His choice of managers and his decision to back them. If he is building up debt against the club it could get very messy

Disgraceful, craven, cowardly substitutions. I've turned against him now. He needs to win me back with some decent results but I don't see it happening.

On the list of people to blame for us being shit in Division 2, Xia would be pretty much bottom of the list atm.
