If it takes losing at Bristol to get rid then so be it.
I would rather win and he be sacked but if it came to a choice of win he stays and lose he goes.
No contest.

Having to move kick off because you've sold 23,500 tickets is a tad bizarre.

"Well, we've gorra watch oot for worselves, they've got Abraham, Kodjia, and Adomah. David James is a top, top keeper, used to play for Villa, oh, and if Nathan Baker is playing he'll be difficult to get past."

He's always going to win *some* matches.  The point is, he won't win enough to get us up, and generally the style of play is dreadful.  I'd rather he was potted sooner rather than later to give us a better chance of going up.  So it's not "wanting" to lose, just a grim acceptance, a bit like putting a shit side out in the EFL Cup, that if it happens and he goes, it wasn't the worst thing in the world.  Hopefully that explains it a bit better.
I agree.  Losing wouldn't be the end of the world but it might be the end of Bruce, which most of us appear to want.

Carrots, the crunchers thereof, we don’t have good history against in recent time so it’s a no from me Bob. 2-0 with Bruce producing a masterclass in post match mealy mouthery before sprinting to the chippy for his third pie and chips of the day. I bet he buys two scollops to scoff on the way back to the car aswell. And a pickled egg. With chips.

Losing is never the end of the world. But I'd rather not experience it, especially with the effort and expense sunk into getting to the game.

No doubt our under pressure manager will approach the game aiming to not lose rather than to win I think we will scrape a hard fought 1-1
