Utah Owl Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 That last kick equaliser we conceded v Norwich is going to do for us this season! If we'd held on we really would be in with a half decent chance now. Mind you could say the same about the games v Baggies (both of them) and Brum at home! Why do we always have to make it so hard for ourselves? With Bruce at the helm I'd have seriously fancied our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It's been frustrating for 3 years really. The side in DC Year One needed tickling into shape and we'd have got over the line. Since then it's been an almost weekly decline with the odd moment steeling us through and pumping some hope into the collapsing veins. It's not quite mathematically impossible now but I'm already prepping myself for the summer break and looking forward to what the gaffer can do when he puts his own stamp on the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 You could look at the 6 points dropped against the 3 of the bottom 5 we had, the game against Leeds ,West Brom or the joke added time against Norwich but what really cost us was the first 30 games of the season with the best keeper in the league sat in the stands, the midfield general not allowed to play and too many kids not ready for championship quality games playing week in week out. we have missed a chance this season that may not come around again, the current manager and first team 20 players have done us all proud for the last 15 games but Jos and DC cost us this season one being unable to manage a team, the other not having a clue how to run a football club and once again leaving it too long to get shut of jos the dross. The same way he did the season before with Carlos. another month of no jos and we would have been top 6 that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 And we thought it was all over after the leeds defeat and the Norwich game was a dead rubber. Incredible really that with those 2 extra points we’d have been in with a chance still of 71 and probably taking it to the last game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we always have to make it so hard for ourselves? With Bruce at the helm I'd have seriously fancied our chances. There's the other end of the spectrum on this Safe to say, it was daylight robbery that we got 2 points off of Rotherham United this season. I bet they'll be saying the same if they go down, those 4 dropped points against us has cost them. Had Leeds have a 20 goal a season striker, it would have been a cricket score instead of a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough earlier in the season. Even the first half at Ashton Gate, Bristol City should have been out of sight. How that was 0-0, I don't know Not forgetting the most anti game of football ever when our 10-0-0 tactics got our first clean sheet. David McGoldrick may have helped that lot up, but he also cost our season when missing that penalty. Stoke at Hillsborough as well, when they should have been out of sight in the first half There's at least 10 points you could say we never deserved to have got. When Sam Hutchinson lined up as a number 10, you had an idea our season may be a long one. Brentford away was the icing on the cake for a lot of the players if you believe some of the posts late last season Thank goodness we have a manager this time, not someone who graduated from the Alan Irvine school of management Edited April 22, 2019 by katie melua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way he did the season before with Carlos. another month of no jos and we would have been top 6 that simple. I reckon fans of most teams can look back over a season and think of what might have been in terms of a couple of last minute goals conceded or the costly poor decisions by the officials. As you say, our main problem this season was the manager and his bizarre choices, changes of formation and changes of selection that have really cost us. When he got the boot we had 23 points from 21 games. in the 23 games since then we have picked up 40 points. The only saving grace in leaving him in charge for so long is that it allowed us to get the option of bringing Steve Bruce in as a replacement. Whether he can lead us to success next season given the financial constraints and sales we may have to endure this summer remains to be seen but at least now we have a manager who will sort things out from top to bottom and won't let others influence his decisions.
