He was playing the victim in his post-match interview.

If that's not enough to sack him I genuinely don't know what is.  Fucking disgraceful.

Sacking him isn't remotely enough.  He should be put in stocks at the bottom of New Street ramp, and pelted with rotten veg.  Then horsewhipped down the A38M to Spaghetti and then he can go where the bollocks he likes.

Fulham and the mighty Ipswich didn’t have too much trouble with 10 men...

Boro too

The WM audio booms tend to be a bit more interesting than the OS interview, he still doesn't get why people have turned on him the simpleton. Bruce post-match audio boom on WM

The planet where we've struggled to string 5 passes together and look a disjointed rabble, wandering aimlessly through games despite having as easy start as you could ask for. IE This planet, this season. We've been shit.

Quite simply, he's a moron.  We've played well in one match this season against Brentford, and even then not for a whole game, and we didn't even win.  If he's not gone tomorrow the new owners are going to start to feel the backlash themselves I reckon.

That WM interview sounds very much like he knows his time is up.  I dearly hope it is.

We were comfortablE but then PNE are miles out of form and confidence.

I think 11 remain on the pitch and we win that 3-0, similar to Reading last season.

What really cost us is him immediately withdrawing Abraham. Normally when teams go down to 10 they either take off a winger or their luxury midfielder. Given how the game panned out Grealish had next to no influence so he should've got the hook and we at least kept a threat upfront.

Inside PNE had freedom of VP to pass the ball around and them getting back into the game was only a matter of time.

I would be amazed if he manages us again at VP. He might just get Saturday as a last chance but it's gone past that now. For the good of the club we need to change manager in the next week as this season is just passing us by.

My suspicion is that the players want him gone as much as the fans.
Good.

PNE were utter garbage first half so when the red card came he should've just gone 3 at the back and carried on as normal.

Instead he reverts to type, starts removing attacking players and ultimately costs us the game by leaving us without a penalty taker on the pitch.

The guy's lost it completely - I get he's a nice enough bloke but he's more than overstayed his welcome, plenty of managers have got the boot for less, and if the owners don't act now we could be down here for the foreseeable future.

He sounds like a spoilt child in that interview. Toys are truly out of the pram, there is no future for him here now. He isn't enjoying it, can't cope with the job and expectation of wanting to do better than making a play off final. He's a tit and it's time for him to move on, I'm sick of his voice and his feel sorry for himself drivel after piss poor performances.

The bottom line for me is this job is too big for him, he can't grasp the concept of having all the resources we do at his disposal, loan signings of multi million pound Premier League players, tens of millions on some of the best, statistically at least,players in the division and having to do better than approach every game like a war of attrition and scraping a result. He has the underdog mentality and always will and it wont get us promoted.

Without Terry and Snodgrass we have no leaders, Bruce is too busy feeling sorry for himself.

He's got to go tomorrow.
