Let’s not forget, we finished 12th I don't expect that to be our side to be honest but even so we finished 12th in spite of what our former manager offered up for half a season.

The top 6 were about 15 points above us when Jos finally got his cards. We ended up 10 points off having only won 2 of our last 5 when it looked beyond us following the Villa defeat. Certainly no way we would have produced that on the last day had it meant something. At the time Jos left we had a manager-pending for 2 months, no defined approach of play, 2 or 3 key players frozen out and Fletcher only apparently fit enough to start once every 3 games under Jos. Granted we need a fair bit of work to make us into contenders but we don't have a relegation threatened squad as things stand. Edit - we were actually only 12 points behind when Jos got sacked but Forest had a game in hand to extend that, we were 18th in the league so improved by 6 places. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/46201873 Edited May 15, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Can’t wait for the melt down when it’s not announced by 9am on another point even if he if he does play full back this is much more the full back we need one that adds value to the other end of the pitch like Lazaar and iorfa did it puts teams on the back foot and Brings out the best in our attacking players and makes us much more dangerous I couldn’t care if it compromises us a little defensively you don’t have to defend half as much when your in and around the opposition half this is where Westwood our centre backs and hutch cover I love sheffield Wednesday when we attack really happy if this comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We averaged 1.61 points per game under Bruce, which would earn us 74 points over a full season - the same as Derby County finished on in 6th place.

My point was more generally that we've shown potential top-six form so far under Bruce, and that's before he's had a chance to really put his stamp on the squad. Here's the form table since Bruce's first game, taken from a slightly earlier date to ensure all teams had played the same number of games...

Bluesteel Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Announcements can be made any time, simply stating the deal comes into force on X date. So wouldn’t get hopes up. Most players are usually on holiday now and just agree matters in principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minton Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Most players contracts don't actually run out until June, so you might not see any announcements, from *any* teams, for free transfer signings for a while yet.

BRUCE LEE Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Think there’s every chance he’ll play in front of Iorfa on the right Looks a good signing to me Bruce changing the physical nature of the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 On 10/05/2019 at 19:55, Ronio said: I think Odubajo would be a great signing. Free transfer, could certainly worth a punt. Does anyone think we may see Palmer in centre midfield next season? As cover for hutch?? Its a possibility, he did start there as a ball winning mid, so knows the position and only moved to right back becouse were skint and didn't have one at the time. Is he the answer in there, even with his better fitness, physicality and work rate he'd been showing back end of the season, I don't think so, but could be OK for a few games during the season to allow us to rest somone else. Think about it can't be any worse than having Joey in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
