Guest Hirst1867 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Got more points in the Championship since Jos was sacked Jos an absolute cheeky monkey of the highest order . As was every idiot on here blaming everybody but him The squad was past it's sell by date Hutch and Westwood need to go Playing the youngsters is the best thing that's happened to the club Dawson the future, and Westwood 3rd choice Idiots. If we'd run Jos out of town earlier we'd be sat in the play offs now The credit for our current position goes to every fan who attended that fans forum at Hillsborough and shouted down the Chairman and bullied him into sacking the manager and reinstating Hutch and Westwood into the side. The transformation is incredible. Onwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleo Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Brucie wasn't available at the beginning of the season in anycase. Just a shame we couldn't get him a couple of years ago when we had plenty of cash. What a difference this man has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Newsome Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 If Jos had played Westwood and Hutchinson from the start of the season he'd probably have a job still, wtf was he thinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to play out from the back didn't he. Most premier league teams struggle to do that. Why managers think it will work in the championship with average on the ball defenders is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily Bruce has got them doing what they are good at. Hector is better than Lees when he brings the ball out of defence, except when he attempts a long pass, where he tends to over hit it massively. When Lees brings the ball out he looks like a virgin being shoved into a brothel. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aimlessly played it around the back four before getting tackled and the opposition having a shot. The only similarly aimless approach I’ve seen this year is from Swansea. A better coach would have that Swansea squad top 6 no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transformation is incredible. Onwards I’m assuming that you’re fishing, however, you can twist the argument a thousand ways to get your answer. We’ll never know whether it was Jos or Mr C that decided that Westwood and Hutchinson shouldn’t play and I think whoever it was had us all fooled for a while. It’s futile to discuss - we’ll just go round in circles. Jos is gone now - thank god. It’s time to move on. Everyone seems to be thinking sensibly now Bruce is here. The future is bright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily Bruce has got them doing what they are good at. every player at a club should be (in training) working on his weak links, however in relation to our back line, ball control, and short sideways, and slightly forward passing, it's like 'pass the parcel' with a bomb. I heard a former liverpoo' defender once say early in games they were encouraged to go long (perhaps down the flanks), as they didn't want to be caught on the ball when the opposition forwards had the 'first wind'. you are incredibly unlikely to score a goal in the next 5 seconds when you're passing it around your own backline inside your own half, but are more likely to concede in the next 5 seconds, so why do it? it's the 'emperors new clothes', it 'maybe' working for l**ds and norwich, but there's a lot out there it's not working for. up until now the opposition we have under bruce have had a greater % of the ball than us in general, but if they're just ****ing about with it, 'trying to look good' and waiting for an opening, then any side with a 'good shape' will slow them down, as we were.

I noticed in the last few weeks at Hillsborough both Swansea and Brentford persisting in taking short goal kicks but looking absolutely hopeless at them, which reminded me of when we used to try and do it.

dewsburyowl58 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It takes a team of good players , comfortable in possession to pass from the back . If you have control of the ball the opposition can’t score . I prefer to mix it but I also like to see teams with good , fast passing and movement Man City being the prime example . I become quite nervous when we start knocking it about in defence and I’m relieved when the ball is in the opponents half !! , Play to our strengths it’s working so far . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did play Hutchinson at start of season, obviously had a spat at Brentford with Hutch who was then banished. The playing youngsters who were quite obviously not ready for the step up & expecting Tom Lees to play like Ramos , Jos was quite clearly a charlatan. Square pegs in round holes come to mind.
