Sitting fourth, still unbeaten, no-one running away with it and we’ve dropped some important points.

We haven’t played a good team yet. The longer we stay where we are, the longer we’ll be happy with mediocrity. With the quests we have and have had in this tin pot league, we should have smashed it and should be.
Awful football; no plan. It’s just the worst.

The fact is we are no better than last year ....we are already slipping behind the top two which is already saying play offs at best and we saw what happened there
Wednesday we had pace today was woeful ..... if it felt we were unlucky maybe accept it but today we got what we deserved just as last Saturday at Ipswich
The next team will be all right backs and wingers ...... that is plan B that Bruce has
Its time to accept Steve you just cant crack it here so time to go

It seems common cause that he is a nice guy, why don't we move him sideways and appoint him as manager of the Holte Pub.

The longer he stays the less automatic promotion .  Hes never bloody happy with his squad , wanting more and more . Well you shouldnt have all your eggs in one basket Steve.   how many wingers , midfielders and right backs do you need when looking at today , you are still desperate for a front man , left back and defender. Too many players out of position and never a plan B .    Easy start he had and hes moaning about the amount of games , I didnt realise Leeds and Boro had only played 2 games bruce in the same period of your 7 .

To me, even at this early stage, it seems like it is going to need a Fulhamesque run towards the end of the season to make it to promotion.  Hopefully it will be under a manager that understands the concept of football.

The whole thing is a house of cards. You know it’s going to collapse sooner rather than later. Two massive chances fucking blown against average opponents at home. Now we will try and win at Sheff Utd. FFS. So done with Bruce

This is the 6th or 7th 3+ games winless streak under Bruce, and is one of the reasons why I don't see us ever making top 2 under him.

If we hadn’t had such an easy start, this would be a more reasonable argument. We should be beating Reading at home.

Exactly. He's not up to the job, at least the job we require. It's pointless getting all worked up about him, he'll be gone soon. The only question I have is how many points will be behind the top two when he's booted out.

He's assembled a good squad, we just need to find somebody that knows how to use it.
