Guest The Horse Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Not seen anyone mention it yet but found it quite eye opening when he talked of the strange methods used by our two previous 'foreign' managers. Said it was going to take some serious time to turn things around and the players have been working hard to adust to his methods. Seems like the players have been conditioned into a certain way of playing and it's taking a while to train it out of them. I wonder what it is Jos and Carlos were doing that has bamboozled Steve so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Love this man. He will get us competing at the right end again. Just wish we’d had him 3 years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Quick passing to feet? Sideways and back again? Keeping it on the floor? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I would think it's the negative, sideways and backwards mentality. No urgency with throws and feekicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no mushrooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Probably means all the passing backwards, killing time in games to make it boring, not engaging in any ‘battling’ etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Confident that Bruce will sort it long term given time. He will make mistakes but i feel we will move forwards under his management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls77 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Done so much in a very short space of time, imagine a full pre-season just hope he has the funds to make the changes we need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Probably the tactic to contain the opposition and try and nick a goal; and then once in front try to hit them on the break. Where as the English style is to go hell for leather and get ahead from the kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we are 6 points off the playoffs now with 11 games to play albeit 6th and 7th have a game in hand. All teams apart from top 2 I'd like to think are beatable. So who knows if the good work carries on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only thing that worries me. An embargo would be so so frustrating just as Bruce starts to assert himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
