Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted April 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2019 Bannan and Iorfa- Touch and go. Both want to train. So we will have a look at them and see where they are. The Leeds manager (has named his team) We can’t do that. They’re a good side. We’re all intrigued by him. He’s a breath of fresh air. He’s done a smashing job. Great pedigree. He’s different. His teams reflect his intensity. He sits on an ice bucket! There’s that side to his nature. (They press and swarm) they come at you, get the ball back quick as they can and win the ball back higher. It’ll be a tough game. You don’t have to spend piles of money. He hasn’t, nether has the fella down at Norwich. With a certain intensity. You get the best out of who you have and those managers have done that. Approach- We know we have to go there and get a result. So have they. It's Live on the telly, full house, this is what we’re in it for, football,it's a big occasion. Looking forward to it. They have an intensity to their play. A refreshing intensity. They have some good players. Bamford...but they are good at the front and the back. That's why they are where they are at the top end. But We'll go and try and play the way we want to play. It should be a great occasion and something to enjoy. United favour – Honestly, no one in the club has really mentioned it. But listen, I’m not going in the dressing room and ‘hey lads we have to lose today to stop the other half’ . We want to win. We have a squeak, it’s only a squeak but we have that chance so we have to go for it in all these games. Boyd and Matias – Came in and reminded everyone what good players they are. Done very, very well. . Aarrons and Onomah– RolandoTraining today. First session in two weeks. We’ll have to see. Onomah will train as well. Hutchinson – He’s ok. No problem. Tom Lees –. He’s a certain pro, yknow, you take you hat off. Because as we’re speaking now he’ll be in the gym. He's a great pro. 200 games for the club is a wonderful achievement. If all players were like him....as a manager your job would be a lot easier. Central midfield – In that area we don’t have many. We only have Hutchinson, Bannan and Pelupessy. We took a little gamble with Adam. Well, not a gamble. He enjoys it. He’s done well.So yes he’s an option. You can move him like that. But we’ll see where Bannan is and we have Hutchinson. New contracts- I haven’t made my mind up. There’s 5 games to go. We’ll have to think seriously there will be some difficult decscions but that's what I have to do. But with 5 games we have a chance and we have to focus on that at the moment and that means players still have a chance. 3 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watto Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Steve Bruce is what we needed at this football club a few years ago , instead we continued with Carlos for to long and then brought in a nobody who had been out of the game for 18 months and was totally inept , his press conference's were very dull every time and he never gave me much hope , he never gave you injury updates either and his English was poor .....Steve Bruce is a massive breath of fresh air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It's very refreshing from the previous incumbent. Appreciate Carlos wasn't for everyone, but at least he had a bit of charisma. Jos could send an insomniac to sleep. Bruce has that charisma, but gives very straightforward answers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Anyone else worried about the Leeds "High press" Bruce highlighted?? Especially, not knocking either of them, but lees and fox arnt the best with the ball at feet, hope they've instructions to avoid getting cought out in position and just get rid up field if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always a bit of a concern getting caught with the ball in our own last third. But...I fear it a lot less than under the previous two regimes where we spent most of our possesion time in our own half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know I'm so glad now has come in and we've got rid of the "drunken man" tactics, sideways, sideways, one step forward, two steps back, sideways again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Proper football manager. I hope he is here a long time at Wednesday. I also think he really likes it here and he is relishing the challenge. That’s half the battle - you look at Jos and he was totally disinterested!
