Good table by Paul_e.
After the poor end to his first season, I was only prepared to give him 6 games last season, especially after having had a full pre-season and a 2nd transfer window. He f-cked that up and after 6 games we only had 6 points. That was the turning point for me (nothing to do with his blues scum past).
The way he has left our defence this season is atrocious, but he has form already with us, where the forwards are concerned. In his first season he sold gestede as soon as the transfer window opened. Kodjia was away at the African cup of nations. Within a couple of weeks of that period he had binned gates McCormack, leaving us with only 1 forward, Agbonlahor. Wow!
We lost 7 of the next 8 games after gestede left, Bruce had made no preparations for his departure or Kodjia's absence, only to line up Gabby for a return to the 1st team. This guy does not learn from mistakes, he needs to go, win, lose or draw tonight or Saturday. Bruce Out!

I've added the table to our FB Page. It's an interesting analysis.

If there was any turning point for me it was well before he joined us.  I'd read that Louise Taylor article in the Guardian at the time he was fired from Sunderland and chuckled at it. Still I was willing to give him a chance based on the four promotions mantra, and the fact that this was meant to be a league he could compete in despite his shortcomings.  I knew the football would be dire but hoped the results might justify it.  I think it was obvious early doors that the league, and coaching levels in it, have left him behind even at this level.

Bye Bruce. We are going to lose a 2 goal lead now at home and have lost the league's best center back for 3 games (Not bruce's fault) but the criminal lack of squad depth is!

Yeah but he'll probably play Jedinak and Whelan as a centre back pairing.
