End of the day it doesn't really matter anymore. The time to dump him was the summer. Now you have to say what's the point? might as well wait till next summer.

Now is exactly the time to have a hissy fit while there's time to address the situation.Three (3) shots on target says it all.In a nutbag.

Fans complain about Bruce knocking people for their hysterical reactions and then get hysterical when we follow up three wins on the bounce with an away draw. Yes we should be looking to win away to Ipswich, who unless they totally shock me this season will be in the lower half of the table and yes we should have been able to beat a side reduced to ten men (even though history proves that often is far from a given). But seriously, all the pants wetters need to grow a pair. We can't have another bunch of pages on this thread every time we fail to win a game. We played away. We got a point. Am I doing cartwheels and opening the Champagne, no. Am I spitting my dummy out like some, no. 'Keep calm and carry on' as that line of merchandise says.

I think it's more of a case of people having too much grace to bang on about his shortcomings after a jammy win, so the floodgates open when we get what we deserve.

I'd say it's more to do with how we've played each game. The results are not to be sniffed at but when you play as we do results like today will happen far too often. We've played 4 poor sides so far and not looked particularly good in any of the games, I just don't see how we play as resulting in a sustainable top 2 challenge. I'd love to be wrong and we storm to the title under Bruce, but when the main plan seems to be grind out a result while hoping at least one of our superior players does a bit if magic then it doesn't take much for the wins to stop.

Come into the big boy's playground and I will show you what a betting touch is.  Bearing in mind I am a pants wetter.

Most grating genre of post on here right now. Essentially... you have a different opinion about Bruce from me which I don’t like, so I’m going to conflate concern and hysteria and call you a load of infantile, vaguely misogynistic names like we’re on the school playground.

I like Steve Bruce as a person. I don't like what he is doing as our manager. We should be doing better. We have a squad capable of doing far better. We should have done better last season but we did not. We have flattered to deceive.
