3 wins but far from convincing.
A game away from a defeat.   That’s  SB.

Yes but you would not put money on a Bruce team going 15+ unbeaten. So not every manager....our man has form.

Of course, but for many it doesn't feel like 1 defeat could easily lead to a bad run, with Bruce it always does, because it often has.

I wouldn't put money on any team going 15+ games unbeaten to be honest.

Fulham did it last season (23 actually).  It's not common but if you have a habit of leading teams through 6-7 game winless streaks then you need to balance it out with long unbeaten runs.  Lets not forget it was a run of wins last season that got us even involved in the race for the automatic spots, we had been clinging to the lower play off places before that run of 7 wins around the turn of the year.

Fulham might have done it but I wouldn't have walked into a bookies and backed them to do it.

It's not been convincing but it's a start we all would have took.

I am not a Bruce fan - I watched the game last night and thought we were awful.

However, having won all three matches we've played this season, pointing out that he might lose the next match seems somewhat harsh on the post match thread to our latest win.

No maybe not, but I'd put something on Villa going 5 without a win at some point this season (so long as Bruce is still here) because he's done that over and over again for his entire career.

I don't suppose it's done those four promotions to his name any harm though.
