Had loads of money, pissed it away, moaning because he wants more. A poundland MON, basically.
Post of the year.  Couldn’t have put it better.

Pennyland, given that he has us in division two.

I will upset some on here, I like Bruce as a person and I really want him to succeed, I am worried by decisions, Jack has been brilliant in training he says, yet don't start him. No striker today, how much did he pay for a prolific striker at our level? Why did he sign Hogan, so not a Bruce player and even after the game he said we have to find a way to get Jack into the team. I am worried tbh

Again was Bruce responsible for Whelan making a ridiculous error? As like I said had that not happened it was a completely different game.

I'll counter that and say he is responsible, passing back at every opportunity is very much Bruce's tactic. We've been doing all season..

Wow 1 defeat and the haters get all happy don't they, for me I hope we beat Sheffield United and ruin all your Christmas's.

If you carry on along this particular path, you're not going to be posting on here much longer.

Indeed. It's 'Christmases', FFS.

Winterval.

Festivus.

Serenity now!

While we're still in the mix I can't realistically see how he can be sacked. I'm not his biggest fan but I do find the level of his unpopularity on this thread and the vitriol in his direction quite staggering. We ain't doing that bad.

We might not be doing too bad up till this point in the season but our recent form seems to have us sliding backwards. We need wins.

How many points are we behind Cardiff? They have superior players in their SQUAD, let alone team do they? No way

Yeah the formation was strange today, but was Whelan making a ridiculous error down to Bruce?? Had he not done that then it was a different game. 

Enjoy this 7 days hopefully we'll beat Sheffield United and you'll be crying into you Christmas dinners   

Haha! Are you eleven?

Is the correct response.

I've been rewatching the Inbetweeners of late, and it was eerily reminiscent of something from that show.

Anybody who uses the term "haters", even in these sad days of interwebs absurdity, will not be well received on any forum which has a few brain cells to rub together.

Disgraceful how much he has spent on strikers without any idea how to use them. Not having a mature performing front man will cost us dearly.
