Alan Nixon added, Ashley Lloyd @AshleyLloyd5 Replying to @reluctantnicko Are Wednesday just speaking with Bruce or looking at others like Jankovic? I was referring to an earlier reply Nixon made on twitter. I've just read it again though and think I've misunderstood. Nowt to see hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im crying out for the right guy and above all that, an actual plan and strategy from above. Otherwise bringing a new manager is pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we cant compare direct like for like I may as well try and do what you’re doing and look at facts that have no relevance to the hear and now situation. You asked what Jos’s record was like in comparison to Bruce’s, I told you. Not really sure what your issue is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I have some reservations if it is Bruce but at the same time he has a bit of a point to prove which may work in our favour. I have had concerns for his health watching him on the touchline over the past few years but hopefully with a bit of time off he's back to full health and prime beach buffness.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, though, Brucie's belly was an important part of his game. Old Lead Belly's always had a big stomach, but when he played it was hard. He used to buffet and body-check strikers with it. It must have been like being hit with a sack of coal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However in our current FFP plight where we probably need to sell one or two of our better players then wheel & deal in the bargain basement next summer we'll have to accept a less flamboyant style of play that doesn't give much away. So in our current situation Bruce might well be the better option, at least in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s a fair point, but it’s also where a coaches tactical nous is needed most Sure, both coaches have had success while spending a fair bit of money, money which we don’t have. It will then be more about their abilities on the training ground This is where I feel Jokanovic has the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
