I think Adds has got it right and as much as we'd just like to see him gone now waiting till the right time( somebody lined up and ready to go) would be the way to do it regardless of what he achieves in the next 3 games. I'd like to think it's been on their minds from day one.  Everywhere throughout the club there is potential for improvement, that's ongoing as far as playing and coaching staff are concerned but more so with the latter if the playing staff aren't producing on a consistent basis which they clearly are not.

I am genuinely amazed that he is still here. It’s not like Mark Delaney would do any worse in the short term.

“Say there or thereabouts again.”
“Go on, I dare you......I double dare you, motherfucker”
“Say there or thereabouts, one more time.”

"we've conceded far far too many, we've give silly goals away"
Well stop playing Jedi at CH then you daft twat.

Quite.

If he wasn't so dumb/stubborn he'd also possibly realise that while we're conceding far, far too many and giving silly goals away, setting the team up to try and win 1-0 probably isn't going to work.

I'm bemused and angry in equal measure that he's still employed by AVFC.

They’re the opposite of silly goals. They are entirely predictable goals which are clearly and unequivocally the result of shit transfer dealings and shit team selection.

I would have to disagree there.

Ha ha, I was thinking of that exact quote earlier when watching that.

There are clearly other journos in the room asking questions during these, which then get cut from the video in case they embarrass Fist Face.  I don't recall really seeing anything printed anywhere else though.

I'd love to know what he thinks is causing all the individual errors seeing as he doesn't think that it's because he playing half of them out of position.
And another way would be to start playing through midfield and controlling possession.It might surprise Bruce to know that they can't score when you have the ball.

the trouble is, even when we have the ball we never  have assured control of it, and constantly give it back to the opposition. With a defence as feeble as ours, that's invariably fatal.

The first question, the answer to which we didn't hear, was asking if we needed to go more direct in our approach......

I would have thought that the Birmingham Mail would send a reporter, but all they've got on their website is a transcript of what was said on the Pravda video.

Prepare yourselves folks for another season in the championship as if change doesn't happen quickly the promotion boat will have sailed.
