Terrible touch from RHM.  Traore must easily be the quickest player in the Championship though.

I have never forgiven him for telling the toothsome Anthea to give us a twirl.

If there’s one thing we’ve seen with Bruce is that he has bursts of good and bad results. After 5 without a win let’s hope this kicks of a new run of good results to get us really back into the thick of things. Outside of Wolves the places above us are there for the taking if we can put in a solid second half of the season run.

Bruce: “We’ve got to stop this mass hysteria, otherwise we’re not going to get anywhere.” [av] #avfc

Bruce: “We’ve come up to Boro, kept a clean sheet, played very, very well (?) on the day so I’m delighted. And I hope it shuts a few people up again, because it becomes very, very annoying that we’re just a week from crisis again.” #avfc

I'm yet to get on Bruce's or the team's back, but those comments annoy me. There is no mass hysteria. However, some people aren't satisfied with being sat 7th in the Championship on our budget, knowing full well if we don't go up this season we could be stuck here for years. I don't blame them for that.

If you can't handle the heat get out the kitchen.

Bruce doesn't help himself, does he? Tough game at home followed by a potential banana skin and he's giving it all that. I wouldn't call being dissatisfied with the Keystone Kops football we've been seeing mass hysteria.

And he's completely fucking oblivious to why fans who have much higher expectations than that get massively pissed off with him. He's such a twat. Happy we won today. Cannot wait to see the back of him.

I am hysterical! :) Bruce is within his rights to have a pop back. Doesnt bother me at all. I still think he needs to go and is not a long term solution for us. But he is the kind of manager who is always going to be on a short rope because his teams play ugly football. Anyway, good job today. I hope it continues.
