I was waiting for the first over reaction on this thread it didn't take long. Priority is promotion. It's only 5 days since our best performance of the season with a completely different team from today. Some perspective is required.

We just lost at HOME to Peterborough. Not Man U or Chelsea.

We didn't just lose, we got hammered. That's what does it for me, they weren't plucky, lucky winners - they spanked us.

Way to destroy any momentum Steve.

And that's the point. Bruce has massively eroded the positivity from Monday.

Today he has show what a shit manager of a football club he is. That’s not an over reaction, he really is.

LOL. I think you might have caught the wrong of the stick.

Sheffield United away is off now btw as they won.

Our next four league games are:

Forest (A)
Barnsley (H)
Burton (H)
SHA (H)

10 points and this is all forgotten. Would be pretty disappointed if we got less than that.

It wasn't a surprise frankly, which says it all - the evidence that SB is the wrong man just keeps on coming - wouldn't it be nice for once to hear him come out and either apologize, or really rip the players. No chance.  We are going nowhere fast with this guy in charge - its just utter crap week after week with the 'odd' performance scattered in between

If we had a game last Tuesday and next Tuesday you could forgive resting a couple. But there’s a week until the next game. Playing 4-5-1 at home to Peterborough is Just insulting the fans and the competition. We need to be going for games with 2 up front or those 4 games will give us 5 points at best.

Give him a pass out card on this one as long as we now hit the ground running

And Stoke lost at 4th tier Coventry, it's the cup shocks happen, move on to the next much more important game

Sadly, they happen to us quite often.

If fit I'd have liked to see Hogan upfront with Davis and if it had potential.

Hogan would've surely started if available today so that was a big blow losing him yesterday as he is a player who certainly needs momentum.
