    There are 2 levels of happy.

    The big picture - the direction the club and team is going in overall. Not happy.

    The immediate, little picture - results on the field. Good under the circumstances but we could be so much more in the way we get them - the style is grim to watch so again, not happy.

    Common denominator?

    Under Rafa, Sir Bob or Keegan if we won I was happy and when we lost I was still happy - I trusted them to pull it round.

    Under Bruce if we win I am happy but if we lose my simmering resentment and mistrust in his ability comes out. Do you see the difference the right man in charge makes?

    Then theres the knowledge that any run of success inevitably leads to pound signs for Ashley at the next window - theres never any desire to build or push on.

    Not happy in the slightest all I can see for the future is decades of mediocrity. No chance to fulfill our potential or to grow as a club.
    Apart from that merry Christmas

    I agree with all that...except for being happy when we lost😉...completely understand your point though...

    Aye, "happy" is maybe the wrong word.

    Maybe "not worried" is better.

    I knew the boss would turn it round, whereas now there is a real possibity a loss could lead to a long losing streak due to the squad quality and tactics.

    I will be happy when Ashley leaves

    The football under Bruce this season is nothing short of abysmal
