Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[sickbeggar]

Taking off my rose tinted classes, the last time we got promoted we weren't always great to watch, and we had some wobbles, but we had a spine and we had some match winners and we could win playing crap. Anyone feel the same about Bruce's team?

No, were shit and play massively disjointed football. Not a chance in hell we will win the play offs. Bruce out.

I think Grealish, Adomah, Hourihane, Lansbury, Elmo and RHM can all play decent pass-minded attacking football that would benefit Hogan. The football we are playing at the moment isn't football at all. There is not an shred of organization in our attacking scheme. It's a "get up the pitch lads, make some magic, have a go then" football.

We look miles off the dogs who can actually string a couple passes together while going TOWARDS the opposition's goal. It's been a while and Bruce hasn't gotten a grip on playing actual football yet. It's an organize 'em and hope you have more talent.

He's a positive guy and a great cheerleader but after the comments he made about the mass hysteria amongst the fans there's a chance he's on a short leash. I still can't decide if I want him out or not..

[Comrade Blitz]

Is he a tactical genius now?

[olaftab]

Shame we couldn’t have picked up Rowett.

Indeed - ship sailed for a while I reckon

I don’t think so IMO we can get him.

[olaftab]

Black was worse. Just.

That is so damning for Bruce.

[mr underhill]

I always try and expunge that cnunt from my memory.

I saw a clip of his interview last night on that Channel 5 show and I did cringe a bit, not because I didn't like what he said (I didn't have a problem with it to be honest) but because I don't think he should have said it. When you have even the slightest pop at the fans, it's remembered and it's gives some more of a reason to have a go. His team got the three points they needed and he should have kept his mouth shut and left it at that.

[frank black]

His mass hysteria and crisis comments will gradually turn him from a nice likable fella into someone fans will happily give grief too. Oh and his dour hap hazard managerial style won’t help either.

Steve, how many of the teams currently above us in the table have we beaten this seson?

Just beaten one a few hours ago. And now they're below us again.

Read again what I wrote.

So now you dont count Middlesborough who were above us but arent now because we beat them hmmm

Blues have beaten Cardiff, Bristol City and Leeds and our bottom of the table

Completely agree.  I'd even go as far to say that had he kept his mouth shut every time he's been in a similar position (see the sticky patch earlier in the season and the wobble last February) then the fans would still be majoritively behind him.  He's talked himself out of favour.

That's my worry with his attitude. When he comes across like that I get the impression he feels he has nothing to prove anymore. So if he doesn't do it for us he will shrug his shoulders and move on or retire.

WE'RE NOT HYSTERICAL - WE JUST DON'T LIKE YOU

Yeah but that doesnt count either because they were only above us for 4 days
