I think the cabbage was a message.  Cabbage and potato is Bubble (and squeak).  The message was your bubble has burst.  Prick.

Accusing the fans of disrespect? Respect is earned, that 2nd half showing was  disrespect for the club, the fans, the owners and anyone in connection with the club.

If Bruce had any respect for the above he’d offer his resignation this morning. He won’t though as his pay out trumps any respect he has.

The owners simply have to act now. The players looked totally bereft of confidence in the second half. Second to the ball and lacked any physicality and we're brushed aside with ease. The set-up of sitting deep at the start of the second half was a disgrace, that is the usual tactics of Bruce instead of going all out for a third goal to kill the game. Out now!

The fact that we’re still close to the playoffs is a totally spurious argument that’s peddled by pundits. We’ve had a hugely favourable start to the season and at the rate we’re going it would take 3 games to close a 3 point gap even ignoring other teams results.
We’ve been rubbish this season, we’ve won 3 games out of 11 for fucks sake. Bruce can have no complaints he’s done a terrible job. There’s no style of play, players in the wrong positions, and he’s constantly being tactical outthought. It’s a shambles.

They did, a big one as well, all TalkShite could find to talk about was how dangerous it was rather than what a useless sack of shit Steve Bruce is.

There is an argument for waiting for the international break BUT the team is in a terrible state, It is one game at Milwall and imo we have as much chance of picking something up without him, probably more as the fans would be back on side and the players usually react positively  when they know they will have a new management team to impress.

Bearing in mind we have a new DOF incoming, why not give Delaney the reigns for Milwall and for as many games after until we have the right manager appointed.

You never know, we could have the next Eddie Howe currently coaching our U23's. What have we got to lose?

We've had some tactically inept managers at Villa Park over these last 18 years but nobody comes close to Bruce for his complete and utter lack of knowledge of the game.
But don’t you know he knows the game inside out according to his mates?

Shame its not 1998 still then.

Sounds like a clue from 3-2-1, it turns out we've actually won Dusty Bin.

*whispers* I don't think the cabbage throwing is necessarily the classiest thing one of ours has ever done, and if it were another club we wouldn't be focusing on the manager rightly calling for more respect.
