    To be fair 4000 people also went bonkers when we scored. I think we're on the same page freer because we both agree things need to improve. My glass is half full and yours in half empty. A bit like your brain 😆 only joking Freer. If things continue like this you may well get your wish.
    That's all freer.

He has no understanding of how you utilise players like Grealish, Abrahams and kodjia, I know that changing the manager is not ideal... but we need someone with a tactical awareness that Bruce, nice bloke that he is, simply doesn't have.
    Our entire team played in Div1 last season. And you have spent a fortune. We looked just as good. But we actually do have a class act. You have a ponce.
    We shan't be going up this season. That's where we are. Neither will you.

    Not panicking just yet as we are still close to the top pts wise.. but if we get promoted it’s gonna be with a record breaking goals conceded as we’re shocking at back ain’t we..

    Yes we are Dazzy, as for losing the plot - I'm not sure he had it in the first place. The "tactic" of risk averse lineups is actually the complete opposite as we found to our demise last season - lack of ambition in attack puts the defence under even greater pressure to be perfect. Mistakes that cost us a goal are then under the most intense scrutiny and blame when it's the approach to the game that's at fault.

    I really can't see us threatening the top two under Bruce, we've only played 2 of the top 10 teams so in 6 or so games we'll probably know one way or the other.
