Lord Snooty Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm delighted the way results have gone. The players have bought in. And it's happened quite quickly. It's been small steps. I think people are realistic enough to know , sensible enough to know ,it's only small steps. We've only just arrived in the building. There's a big summer ahead. We haven't given up hope ourselves. But we just carry on. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though he's maybe in his heart, still daring to believe if results go our way he can still sneak us into the playoffs,but is looking at the situation as a whole realistically. I can live with that, keep that little bit of optimism while being pragmatic at the same time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 He gets a free swing at next season for me. Will be disappointing if we don't make playoffs at least next season, always am every season now, but i won't be on Bruce's case if we are just hovering around mid table next season. He'll need at least 18 months and three transfer windows to build a squad. We need to come through FFP and then give Bruce time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoots old chap, he saw first hand in the playoff final what we needed and used it to beat us and was still glaringly obvious to see a few seasons later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The difference is Bruce knows what it takes to build a side and how to play to get out of the division . Carlos and Jos just thought they knew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supporters knew, the players probably knew, even Stevie Wonder knew what we needed - £30m+ later and we still needed it. Took Bruce and Agnew a fortnight!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said they didnt even need a fortnight they would have already known the areas we were STILL lacking he saw it earlier on this season and last whilst still at villa too.

It's not settling for second best but recognition of the building job ahead to get to where we want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Bruce on style of play - We’re all a bit sceptical of change. We all worry about it. Whatever your job. But the change …the lads have enjoyed it. It’s hard to implement it when you walk in the door in February but we've picked up bits. It might take a while but the lads have bought into it.

Bruce needs 18 months minimum before we can really start to assess. The squad will look massively different this August and that will take time to settle and for Bruce to get them playing like he wants. One good trait of our Chairman - he doesn't sack managers unless it's really, really necessary, so Bruce should get a long term shot at this - and rightly so.

prowl Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I think Bruce's hands will be tied if/when we go into an embargo. It makes it difficult for him to bring in the players he needs to get us promoted. Personally I will be happy to give him a free pass until we are no longer under embargo provided he can keep us in this division. Once he's got some money to play with the clock will start ticking. From then on steady improvement will be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more tempo to the play now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm happy to announce, however small Bruce assures us the steps may be, my giddyness levels are still in the extreme over the day/night transformation of Wednesday between 2018 and 2019. :D Here's to a brighter future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
