I'll give you a clue regards win rate: 57% this season 47% from 15 games (which is much better than Bruce from a similar amount of games) Yet some fans want to lick bruce's strawberries. Strange, Bullen gets a bit of respect. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, Bullen gets a bit of respect. Hope that helps. No it doesn’t. Bruce built the team that Bullen inherited. Bruce had to work with a broken team for much of his time but apart from full back positions we finally now have what we need. I’ve seen all the games this season and it’s clear that Bullen has no clue how to play the high pressing 433 that Bruce set this team up to play. In my view Bullen lost the game against QPR playing a 442 with no one seeming to have any idea where they were playing. Even when we’ve won Bullen’s tactics have been dubious, and everyone could see the Preston and QPR defeats coming. Using win rate after 6 bang average performances to justify Bullen doesn’t wash.

sherlyegg Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 But you have failed to explain the win rate AND bullen took over from a crocked team first time, second time it was fully broken by jos...or do you mean it was only broken for bruce and not bullen? Btw bruce has never ever never ever been a 433 coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw bruce has never ever never ever been a 433 coach I don’t think we’re going to agree on this. I accept that Bullen inherited a disaster after Jos and steadied the ship for a while. First time round I thought Bullen was possibly worse than Carlos. I think Bruce did build a 433 team - not in the past but this time round with Harris, Fletch, Reach / Murphy. We now have a front 3 as good as any team, and I think if the full backs could be sorted out and Hitch kept fit (big ifs) we could challenge. My disappointment is then the failure in the games Bullen has managed to use the width and just playing it long to Fletch with big gaps in the middle. This is down to Bullen. I thought even Barnsley outplayed us through the middle at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Yep, just thought bullen did an absolute remarkable job given what he had to deal with, not once but three times. That's why he doesn't deserve the shyte he is given by some...that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Bullen has not managed enough games for any serious examination of his win ratio. I respect what he has done for Wednesday in his time as coach and player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I really don’t know why managers say we have such great fans. Honestly, it simply is not true. Most are bitter old scrotes still stroking themselves to the memories of 3 years a generation ago where we won the grand sum of one league cup.

We’ve been crying out for wingers with out and out pace for years, and Fletch holds the ball up and distributes as good as most in this league. I’m obviously not comparing to Man City or Liverpool but in this league we have a great front 3. Not sure why that’s rediculous. Knocking long balls down the middle and not using our width on the other hand is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what - he stood in as caretaker a few times and when tested was out of his depth. Only on this site do you get abuse for seeing it for what it is.

I don’t think they’ll look on with envy but they’ll have to defend well. Fulham have a great attacking line up. I thought Sessegnon was the best player on the pitch when I went down a couple of years ago and he can’t have been much older than 17 but I think he’s gone to Spurs.
