Just got back from Cardiff, this makes the total distance I have travelled to Leeds and Norwich and today nearly 900 miles and 400 quid. I have witnesed garbage and not a single goal. I don't know how you optimists can see any improvemnt. Bruce is a good guy but things need to change any change quick because what is being served up is atrocious crap.
02 Jan 2017 22:45:04
So all in all its your fault. your a bad luck charm STOP GOING TO GAMES.
02 Jan 2017 22:56:34
Tip for you hopeful don't go to any more matches you must be bad luck then.
02 Jan 2017 23:56:30
Villadaz, i didn't go to a single away game after Bournemouth last year so it ain't me, it's the lack of quality not bad luck!
03 Jan 2017 00:35:02
Nothing's changed. other than the points per game we're picking up, but you know, that's not important.
03 Jan 2017 08:20:29
Hopeful, you are very brave.
Too many people see the flowers without looking at the roots .
Most of the problems stem from rash buying but this should be in the past.
Let us hope that Bruce is in front of the queue this month for the annual sales but the bargains will be difficult to find.
If one really wanted to be cruel there are possibly only half a dozen that should remain and the rest can go to other pastures.
Keep the faith and stay with your belief.

I don't think there's any "flowers" oldvillan, but the roots are certainly there. Winning games, picking up points that's what we need now. The flowers and fancy football can come later, I couldn't care if the ball went in off gabbys muffin top as long as it meant we won. Let Bruce have some transfers, balance the side and improve quality and then we will know if we can make the play offs.
03 Jan 2017 11:45:25
Chris we have 6 that are the only players worth a light. CHESTER, BAKER, AMAVI, ADOMAH, MCCORMACK AND KODIJA.
Not sure about Grealish, inconsistent.
Hepburn Murphy needs to start.
The rest should be got rid. Impossible I know but if Bruce is to succeed then a complete regrouping is essential.
Too many players with the wrong mentality, desire, loyalty and honesty on the pitch.
I am with you about goals, anytime from anywhere, through balls to someone that can score the simple goals.
How many simple goals have we scored?
6 players ok, how is Bruce going to get more to play how he wants?
We should have a rosy future with Bruce and Xia but not with the rubbish that take our money.
I await the retorts of negative post but that's the way it goes. It's what I see on the pitch that is there for all to see.
03 Jan 2017 12:45:15
Oldvillain wise and profound words no one should criticise given facts. let's hope tony and brucie see what the majority of honest fans like you see.
03 Jan 2017 14:34:54
"No one should criticise" may aswell have wrote "my opinion is right and no other opinions count". Oldvillan I agree with what your saying although I do think Jedinak is useful and we should keep Gollini as our second choice, but yes the rest should go. However my point is if we're getting points and wins with this team, imagine what we will be like when Bruce gets his own team in. He won't be able to do that until atleast next summer after 2 windows, so for now we need players to fill problem positions and get out the division. Forget the fancy football, or seeing the team play well, that can come next year, results will do for now.
03 Jan 2017 14:37:04
I do think it runs deeper than the playing staff.
There is a mentality through out the whole club that is poisoned.
There has been for years, I think the good dr, and Bruce is the first step to get it out.
Think about it. we buy on paper quality players. and we have seen season after season them not performing, no matter who is coaching, they turn negative, we take a lead, they defend it. never a killer instinct. We even started to defend a 0-0.
That is not coached. it's a collective decision.
I don't know how as a club we get rid of it.
I just know it's painful, I do think that we as supporters, fans and everyone involved with the club are as much to blame.
With this I mean we expect success.
This season for example, we expect promotion, nothing else.
Last season we got Remi in, (terrible decision I agree) and expected him to get us safe. (I know that's not success as such, but given our position when he arrived! )
All this is pressure.
I don't know. perhaps lowering our expectations might help them to raise above them?
03 Jan 2017 14:47:24
Bruce needs sacking
He is a dinosaur now and we need a young up and coming manager who beleives in youth and attacking football.
How Bruce can keep on playing gabby, Westwood, Hutton, Gardner is beyond me,
Looking forward to seeing the same type of uninspiring signing to come in now,
Never wanted Bruce from day one and the sooner he goes the better,
03 Jan 2017 15:06:27
Bruce needs sacking?
Have a word?! Jesus.
03 Jan 2017 15:19:59
Yes the man must go!
The football on offer is now worst than ever,
He talks a good game but that's all I'm afraid.
03 Jan 2017 15:27:20
Hahahahaha
Ok!
03 Jan 2017 15:35:05
I take it your a fan?
03 Jan 2017 15:39:08
The guy has turned out fortunes around with the same squad that was struggling and you want him out? Some people are never happy! Go support Real Madrid or Barcelona.
03 Jan 2017 15:42:08
It's my opinion,
We can't all love the manager can we?
Never liked him and never will,
03 Jan 2017 15:59:35
It's not about liking the guy it's about appreciating and acknowledging what he has done in the short time he has been here. always will be potato head but if he gets us up who cares.
03 Jan 2017 16:40:23
Never seen Mainbob on here before, 100 million percent a troll, come on mate behave yourself.
03 Jan 2017 16:46:15
Shoulda got Bruce in the summer, RDM was a 'sexy' appointment, the only mistake Dr Tony has made so far. But, he's had to make do with what he was left with and has got some results. Ideally we should do our transfer business early so we can have a proper go at it, still think we could go up automatic.
I'd still give Jedinak the benefit of the doubt that he'll show his worth to the team as the 1st line of defence, ain't expecting 30 yard screamers off him.
We need 2 midfielders that will go straight in the team, Will Hughes and i'd take gamble on Ravel Morrison. Would love Trippier at RB, and Chery in a front 3 with Kodjia and Adomah. That would add a bit of excitement to our play too. Looks like Johnstone from Man Utd is coming so there's our business done apart from players out.
Morrison and Trippier are the 1's I'll get shot down for but add those players to the list OldVillan gave and that's a team that should rip the championship apart, won't cost the earth, and would be happy to go into the Prem with that plus whatever players of extra quality Sky's money would get us
UTV.
03 Jan 2017 18:20:30
Not a cat in hells chance of going up automatically Allyp.
03 Jan 2017 19:54:32
Until it's mathematicaly impossible, and with some quality signings, I'm not giving up hope
UTV.
03 Jan 2017 21:10:39
Your right mate, we can't.
But seriously do you honestly think that we would be better off with another manager change right now?
And are you objectively saying that results have. It improved since said managers arrival?
And given that he turned results slightly around, do you honestly not think he should be given a chance to bring in his own players?
Remember, not one of these players are his signings.
And just possibly could he be playing certain players to prove a point to the good dr about where we need to strengthen?
