Steve Bruce

Seen as we are using stats for this thread I wonder what everybody's thoughts are on Allardyce.Seeing as I thought he was shocking as did thousands of others.
My point being,unless we get at least a draw against Leicester,Allardyce will have got more points than either Bruce or Rafa did in their first 21 Premier League games.
Just about every man and his dog turned on Allardyce.

I've nothing against stats..they are a useful tool to be used to get the overall picture..they don't however tell the whole story...to pretend otherwise is to be facile...

So will Ashley be happy with Bruce if he gets less points seeing as he sacked Allardyce.Also why if we lose to Leicester will 25pts from 21 games be good whilst 26 from 21 with Allardyce wasnt.
This is why comparing last season to this over the same amounts of games is load of shìte.What I have just posted reads a load of shìte but is fact.
Would also like to know how Rafa took us backwards.Yes he is gone but we were as good as down when he came and he got us back up and kept us up for the other 2 seasons,job done as far as Ashley is concerned.Only one man has and is taking this club backwards and it is Ashley.

No need to think about anything like that.
We didn't finish 5th, we finished 13th, so 5th placed form meant absolutely nothing.

The man took us backwards and had over 3 years to do it.
Think about that.

How backwards?

Give me hard examples with evidence to back it up?

Hard profit over 3 years, fans unified and filled with hope - he delivered is from relegation certainties when he first came in to 5th place form in the premier league during his last 6 months?

Wait, I'm arguing with this Richard again.

If Bruce doesnt better 10th or 13th does that mean he has taken us backwards ?

Nar. It doesn't work like that!

I can’t see us getting a point in January so let’s review the fantastic Bruce statistics then.

Bruce is clueless man but I don’t blame him for taking the job and he certainly is not the main problem at our club or should I say HIS CLUB

[toptoon]

Sure as some have been quiet as church mice till Bruce has gained a few lucky points (playing abysmal football) they will soon return to silence when normal Brucie service is resumed. (Apart from the troll who is, at least, consistent).

Please feel free to show me this post in the future.

If we lose to Leicester Bruce will have less points than Allardyce got in 21 games,and we know what happened to him.But stats only count with certain posters when it's in their favour.When they are not,they are nonsense stats and dont count and the rest of us are spoiling the board and are too negative.
I will put my neck on the line as well and say now,Ashley fc will not finish higher than last season.Despite a massive spend in the Summer.

He needs 20 points from the next 18 games to finish level with Rafa. We'll see.
