asteener1867 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 So what have we had last couple of games? Half a bloody change, a thin soup of half and half rubbish. I know this is hindsight, but why get two thirds of a management team at it, the weakest two thirds at that. Theres a reason Steve Agnew is number 2 isn't there?...and we saw that today...absolutely classless, no threat, simple submission..Why let him have a go...His track record suggests he;'s a number 2 for a reason. At least Lee Bullens side how showed some teeth...Its the same players, we had a slight recovery...This...Now? Its put a blight on the new regime, it should have been left alone until Steve Bruce started... Now most fans will be asking.. "How come Agnew is number 2 and Bullen has been shunted to wherever"...and so they should...We have seen the football under both in a microcosm of what they both bring to the table haven't we? Its like Steve Bruce will turn up and find the f.ookin' kids have been wrecking the house...Should have left it to Bullen til Feb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slightlybruisedman Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Agree, not as a reaction to today but before the appointment, it would’ve made more sense for them ALL to start 1 Feb, Bullen had d9ne a great job. Bizarre, and I think most people thought so at the time. Edited January 12, 2019 by slightlybruisedman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Yeah. Seems Steve Agnew played instead of Bully. Must have missed that. Obviously not the players fault at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to find a fault in something surely you look to a time when yer "Toy train" was working, and when it stopped...What was different, why did it stop? Seems some f.ookers can wind a toy train up better than others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Bully had some shockers last time he was in charge. I'm still leaning towards the squad weaknesses prevalent for the last 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But generally people were relieved the chairman seemed to have made a good appointment and it got glossed over. It was clearly hard on Bullen, I think that was obvious, but who knew whether Aggers was any good at being a caretaker manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 One point I would like to make about all this is that I cannot understand why we have a change of management and delay the services of the Boss, but still bring in his understudies. Seems peculiar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it for Agnew to turn it around though? I watched today’s game in the Hull end with a city supporter and felt slightly embarrassed by how negative we played. It felt like Westwood was wasting time from the first time he touched the ball and Fletcher looked completely isolated. As a team we seem to really struggle against high energy pressing opposition and we had no answer to Hull today. It seems inconceivable that Hull were bottom of the table in October, because they looked a very polished side today, although we were so passive it just gave them more and more confidence as the game went on. When you look at today’s performance I agree with the OP that it looks like a flawed decision to relegate Bullen. I just hope that by the time Bruce takes over it hasn’t worsened into a fire fighting situation for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I think it was a brave decision, certainly a bit unusual, but still might prove beneficial. Just maybe it will set things up for Bruce to make an immediate impact, with a squad already starting to get used to his methods. Most of what I've read on Owlstalk tonight sounds like a massive over-reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb n Custard Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Sometimes you can only play as well as the opposition allows, sometimes we are poo. Today it was both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Bruce is the man we wanted. He has commitments which he insisted in sticking to and will have insisted his backroom team come in to start his work. We need a big clear out of the playing squad because it simply isn't goid enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems peculiar to me. Its one of many peculiar things that continue to happen at our club. This has to be a first that a club appoint a manager who is not gonna be there for a month yet give the job in the meantime to somebody who definetly would not have been given the managers job in the first place.

The flying pig Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Its not that long ago that fans were calling for Bullen to be removed from our club as was deemed to be part of the eventual failure of CC and the car crash of JL,now it seems we are up in arms after losing 1 game and deeming him the Messiah.
