In my way of looking at things this is Bruce's 3rd team in his time as Birmingham manger. 1st team was after we were promoted he quickly built a new team around players such as Kenny Cunningham and Robbie Savage and those who he considered good enough from the TF era that was a very good team considering the resources available. 2nd team was the post Robbie Savage era of big wage earners who didn't want to be at the club. The likes of Anderton and Butt etc who were peripheral figures just there to pick up a wage before moving on characterised the 2nd generation. This was the team Bruce was rightly criticised for and that we are still paying for. 3rd team. This is from the start of this season and what this thread is all about. I said at the start of the season what a good job i though Bruce has done over the summer in picking himself up and starting again. He gutted an overweight squad and brought in young hungry kids who play good football. What a transformation. Of course there were some teething problems but how good does it look from here!!! I hope Upson stays as we need his quality and i don't consider him to be one of the overpaid wage pickers-upper but we would succeed in this league without him.. it's next season i believe we will need him. It is the quality of our young players that brought our victory tonight and our position in this league, not our presence in it which was bought about by the over paid rejects we had last year. So the question is. Of this generation who are the best players... & who do we still need to bring in. |
