Prutton Away

Years ago when "they" got to the play offs i watched "them" play Ipswich. "They" won 2-0 without really playing well, it was basically a given organised win. Be organised, in this league, as described at the start of the thread, or as Sammy H said really early on in the season,"know" how to grind a win out and you will go along way in this league.

Hmmmmm, we got one, scored it, won.....whats the point?

Lie-cester-shire of course. Didn't we then play them a week or so later and win 1-0 in league? I remember thinking (second time round) we'll hammer this lot after the other week and then didn't. Whoever we played had twins or brothers playing for them....... aren't we sad that we hark that far back to find these big wins!

Also league cup final run 93 beat Ipswich 7-1, so the maths must be 4 in a half.

Away leg 2-1. Largely a reserve team.

How could you not be happy with that . Made the most sense of any manager since..................(insert previous managers name in space).

I was 17 and still leathered from my brother's wedding the day before.......or maybe that was Crystal Palace. Either way the Co91 won 4-1!

Isn't the title of this thread great.......actual options, actual competition for places, choices choices, decisions decisions etc.

Sorry please don't think me rude but if bullen is given the mangers job and fails, stepping back is not an option. No new manager in anything ( business or sport) ever wants the last bloke around. It just doesn't work (read Michael Vaughn's ashes account/autobiography, to get a very comprehensive and blunt summary of the Nasser Hussain issues and subsequent retirement).

So honest and genuine.......and therefore not manager material.

Lovely. Simply lovely.

Interesting read. I work with a load of Geordies and not one of them has said a good word about Bruce. Their main focus is on the fizzing Maccam thing and how much they hate him for that, followed by their hatred for MA. They generally all agree Bruce is nowhere near as good as 'Rafa' and that Ashley only wants him to help him sell the club before he is sacked for bigger and better. Good luck Brucie!

Beyond around 10/1 it's a standard list of out of work managers that bookies recycle every time a manager needs appointing, so it's never really worth looking at them. They did it with ugo ehiogu after he had died and admitted it then!

It's my birthday today. Woke up wife and daughter have presents and cards ready, pictures all over them drawn by daughter of 'ozzie owl' and all my presents are blue and white in colour (strong work our lass)......our day today me thinks!

Just checked wiki and even that was Stuart
