Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[Malandro]

Actually I prefer Rofa Pillo's brother Dunlo. He knows how to put a game to bed.

Has Bruce quilt then?

No, he's several sheets to the wind.

We now need divan intervention.

Lumping it long to any striker with no midfield left to play off won't work with anyone , but in case of Hogan it baffles me Bruce brought him when his ''tactics'' are not suitable to that type of striker.

The last 3 games have really shown Bruce up to me we have been found out , team relize we don't create through the middle so stop Snodgrass and Adomah and we are toothless in attack.We seem to want to play counter attack but we lack pace through most of the side.The not left footed left side is also not not working very well.Bruce is so reliant on Snodgrass/Adomah and Grelaish  to create he leaves them on and empties midfield and its not working in the slightest particularly in  Grealish case who ends up coming far too deep to get the ball.

If we go up it will be from individual brilliance rather than a solid game plan, as I recall didn't Hull go up from a screamer from Diame in the final ..

As for Terry I can't believe a player who has played under genuinely talented mangers would want another season with this dinosaur 

Yes; just said on the post-match thread that our gameplay is so predictable that any half-decent manager should have the wherewithal to nullify our strengths, even with only a workmanlike squad at their disposal. We don't even mix it up with our 2 wingers switching wings every 15 minutes; as a result of which our crosses from the wings are slow (because both current wingers have to check inside to deliver). If - as appears to be the case - our 'go-to' change of tactic is to denude the MF and have 3 or 4 strikers on the pitch we really are in trouble.
Yesterday, it seemed obvious to me that Hourihane (who has admittedly been poor recently) should have come on after 55-60 minutes to bolster the MF and replace Adomah who was poor. If Taylor had been on the bench he could have shifted Axel into the DMF role when Jedi tired, and put Taylor on as LFB (switching Hutton) - a left-footer on the left is actually useful sometimes!
For MF variety, I would be favouring having O'Hare on the bench as a creative option alongside Grealish (who was mediocre yesterday): the manager has selected very few game-changing options on the bench, which has meant he's effectively boxed himself in.

The biggest frustration is that QPR, Hull and Bolton have been such piss-poor sides and yet we have not had the nous to dispatch them. That's why the play-offs look quite daunting to me.

Springs' not a good time for Bruce

[curiousorange]

The morning after promotion is impossible will be when he goes.

[avfcpg]

Lose or draw to Reading and would you take a gamble and get shot now and try and reassemble, get motivated and find some sort of system in time for the / to make the play offs. 
Can just about stomach a one off poor performance against lower league position opposition, but consecutive rank showings vs QPR, Bolton, Hull and Reading is more than a little blip. 

[curiousorange]

Personally, I wouldn't. Logically because of the upheaval, and optimistically because if this is a bad run, if we do secure a playoff place it might be timed with an inexplicable upturn in form.

[The Edge]

We batter Wolves aka Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Brazil 1970's all rolled into one so the next bit is easy. QPR, Bolton and Hull that's 9 points in the bag surely? You'd of thought. Fast forward.... we score 2 fucking goals against such illustrious opposition  and take 1 point from a possible 9. It's a disgraceful shambolic collapse. Bruce's limitations are there for all to see. "that's the championship for ya" Just fuck off with that rubbish will you Steve.

2 goals? - I wish, mate.

We've scored once in these three games; a consolation 88th minute goal against QPR.

[curiousorange]

My only real reason for optimism is that Kodjia is back. Seven games to get his eye in.

[mr underhill]

with the winner in the final.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Nah, Hutton will score the winner in the final.

[PeterWithesShin]

Nah, Hutton will score the winner in the final.

An own goal.

[ChicagoLion]

Yep it’s the Leagues fault.
Fancy having teams in it that try and win games, it’s just not fair.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Nah, Hutton will score the winner in the final.

An own goal.

That's bloody blasphemy!
