What I don't get is that we always look so flat, you would think the very least we can expect is the players and manager to give a shit and put some effort in. The pressure is mounting on Brucie again because he is not performing according to expectations. This must change quickly, or he has to go.

Good run looking more like blind luck and Adomah playing out of his skin than anything else.

That was never going to last. He was never going to keep that up. We just doing look a threat and when you couple that with stupid fucking errors like Whelan today, then it’s only going to end badly.

Meanwhile in a parallel universe... I think Steve Bruce played without a striker to ensure funds from the Doc in Jan and is a genius.

No, there is ONE major factor with the good run.
It pretty began and ended with Kodjia being available. Even though he wasn’t scoring, he was causing real problems.

Should have gone in May. We are stuck with him until the summer. Reckon we will finish 10th unless there is a big splurge of signings in Jan

Look at the teams we win against, then look at the results Bristol Wolves Leeds Derby Cardiff.
We are not going up.

There's going to be no money in Jan.

Think positive. We should be safe from relegation.

I'm sure there's a bus we could chuck ourselves under and save some bandwidth. Fuck me.

The answer to our problems is a good manager. Go get one Tony.

I wish we'd stuck with Di Matteo

To be fair, his remit was to get us out of this League. I just hope it specified which way.

What, because I think he'd have done a better job than Bruce?

Bruce is massively under delivering. Dr Xia needs to do something now.

We beat midtable and lower teams without playing particularly well,  any team with a bit of guile and its not enough to beat any of them. We'll be top half but nothing more.
