Lord Snooty Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 First Half - Well , it was just awful. I think we looked in the first half like we were ready for the beach and of course if you have that attitude in the Championship you're going to get turned over. Half time - Sometimes you have to keep what is said in the dressing room in the dressing room. I think it's the first time I've lost me temper since I've been here. They needed a wake up call, and y'know I think it probably was only human stuff because , deep down I think they knew the chance of play-offs had gone really. To ask for seven results to (go our way) over the next week was impossible really .We'd kept banging the drum y'know (in the build up) but it's , y'know human stuff. Second half - For how bad we were in the first half we were terrific in the second with our attitude and application . The third one goes in everyone in the stadium thinks it games over, but fair play to them they came back at it and even with ten men could have won.I thought if one team is gonna win it it's going to be us. Delighted with the second. The 12th Man - One of the big reasons I joined the club. We've got practically nothing to play for and we've brought 5000 fans on an awful day, when you wouldn't send a life boat out there, they're a truly remarkable support we've got they stayed behind the team and you can only applaud them because the clubs been through a difficult time but their support is quite fantastic. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I couldn’t stand him when he was Hull manager - now I absolutely love listening to what he has to say. He does like the lifeboat comment doesn’t he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm an Essex Owl Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 That second half made it worthwhile. Been to 2 of the last three at Deepdale (missed the one with Reach's late equaliser) and for 5 out of the 6 halves we have absolutely telephoned in our performance. First half today was disgraceful (even worse than that turgid flaccid display under Carlos 1st game of last season). Second half was great. Brucey definitely got them going. And as he says we probably should have won it at the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a breath of fresh air. DC should be commended for getting him here. If only he'd have fired Jos a month earlier, Bullen would have picked up sufficient points to see us in 6th now. FFS.

As long as we still ended up with Bruce I'd have let bullen have the first half of the season, ok some slight hyperbole but it cant have been much worse.

I've always thought he has been very honest when he's come up against us when managing other teams. An honest character in football, where that particular trait can often be lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 What’s not to like about Bruce?! This guy will take us up and I’ve not said that about one of our managers over the last 15 years or so. Bruce and Wednesday looks a good fit to me. Looking forward to next season already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His relaxed but confident demeanour rubs off on people. He looks and sounds assured. Sounds like a man with a plan. Of course it will be interesting how some react when we hit the first bump in the road. Because there will be one. There has to be , with the re-moulding job he has to do to this squad.

james o connor Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Leaps and bounds ahead of what we have had previously , going back well over a decade . If only we had made this appointment at the start of the chansiri era , I’m convinced we’d be better on the field and off it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story of this club since about 1992 ..big one for me was DC’s inexperience at the start of all this, so key in determining where we are at present, both on and off the pitch.

To be fair he got help in... They just weren't very good/had vested interest in doing things not in the best interest of the club . Got there in the end though. Shame about the flaffed £30m. Just got for stick with Bruce. Think it might take a few windows to get his stam on things. Edited April 28, 2019 by Lord Snooty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
