Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[markeeeebeeee2005]

He has a relative huge amount of resource here, compared to his previous clubs. I'm interested to find out whether his approach to football is practical depending on what he has or ideological.

 I'm really hoping he is practical at using what he has, I like the guy and really want him to succeed with good and winning football.

He has the players and money to do it here. If he doesn't nail it, it will be a shame for him and us.

Worrying stuff today. If home form goes we're in a relegation fight. Who'd have thought hey, Bruce turning us into a turgid anti football outfit that never scores.

Ipswich scored

elphick is a fucking nightmare

Does Bruce have a good record of promotion from league 1 and can he do it with a £50m team?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Hopefully that's the end of 3-5-2 (5-3-2).

[Mellin]

Indeed. We don't have the players for it. Means Tommy bombscare Elphick plays and Hutton sees far too much of the ball.

[Risso]

Coming next week: I've always liked 1-2-1-3-1-1-1 and wor going to give that a little try, and hope that it can give us that little bit extra to stay above Rotherham.

It's some going to spend the money we do and be worse than when you started. Players that have torn up this division at other clubs and just about any side in this division would want, fail to score or get assists as soon as they are in B6. 16th in Division 2, and only the bottom three have won less games, only the bottom two have scored less, both one less. Rejoice, we've spent a fortune and have scored 1 goal more than Rotherham!

I actually think he is on a colossal wind up now. 

All the potatohead barbs over the years must have really gotten to him.  And was just at the games. 

I wouldn't have put it past some of our scamps to give him both barrels when he was out and about in Solihull. He remembered all that, it clearly cut him to the bone and now he is fucking us.

[in the blood]

Dead man walking

[LukeJames]

A few of us have been calling it for weeks now, he hasn't a clue what he's doing, people will still reel off the excuses for him.

[passport1]

he said at his weeks press conference that he never expected to have seven new players and that it was now his job to fit them into the team. It begs the question what exactly is our player signing policy if  the manager doesn't know who is coming in.

The chaos on  the pitch is probably reflecting what is happening behind the scenes.
