Sunderland, WHU, M'boro, even the 2nd half against Hereford we have been very poor.

Is this a Bruce out thread?

Well, not exactly, but if Sullivan wants those missing thousands back, something has to be done.

Very, very dissilusioned right now.

Why now? we have been like this for 3 years if not longer, we have few good performances in a season, but most of the time we are very average and pedestrian IMO

unacceptable, just watched the first half on sky and i really feel for the hardy souls that followed the lads up at boro' today, they deserve a medal for sitting through that drivel. no fight no battle no pride NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

we surrendered and that is unacceptable in my book.
if you ain't good enough, fine but our boys im sure are better than what they showed today. Play with some pride PLEASE!!!!

Bruce again said it was one of the worst performances under his leadership...i count that he has said that around 20 times since he took over.

please go now Brucie for god sake this guy is untouchable :angry:

Just watched the extended highlights on Football First. Woefull. Cut to ribbons again and again. Attacking play was totally innefective. Players just standing around watching, running to "close down" but then making no challenge or a half arsed challenge when they got there. Very, very poor.

I was just thinking that. Surely is thats the case then he is admitting we are getting worse, not better! I will give him the benefit of the doubt as, to use another over used cliche, im sure we will soon "turn the corner"

The fans are criticised, the players are sometimes criticised and the board are sometimes critcised. The one glaring omission is our manager Steve Bruce.
I believe the guy is untouchable. The Birmingham Mail hardly ever takes him to task and i cannot really ever remember the board having a word publicly about his regular footballing misdemeanors.

We can criticise him all we like on this board but in the end it means jack. The guy is never held accountable and its a disgrace.

He is to blame for a lot of whats gone wrong recently,they are his players and they do what he tells them to...and we lose regularly and we play awful football.

GO NOW...

Completely agree with your words. This will surely not be allowed to continue after the debacle last time.

I went all day without hearing of the result so I thought watching football first might be a bit of a treat - it was hard work to stay awake.

Jaidi was absolutely woeful
We had no Width and no balance
We couldnt string more to than two passes together
Our central midfield pairing sat far too deep
We were lethargic, lacking in application and void of any creativity

Poor Poor Poor

We were tactically outclassed and manouvered today

Thats the key "never accountable" he always blames someone else or circumstances and gets away with it , as you say untouchable.

Maybe the supporters at large are more understanding than some of them on here. maybe they are more interested in being supportive towards the team.

maybe they are not so concerened who the manager is, who the board members are, or how much money they have.

How can you support the club and not be concerned about the manager? Or the underinvestment by the Board?

It is not being disloyal to want the club to do better. It is not disloyal to want to see the elements that are holding the club back removed. Just the opposite, in fact.

The most passionate supporters of this club are the ones who are prepared to say 'enough is enough' when they witness the sort of utter tripe that was on display at Boro today - and not for the first time this season.

Bruce is out of his depth. The Board are disinterested. The sooner both elements go, the better.

well said Diver!

I love this club and so does everyone else, its not a crime to voice ones displeasure against whoever, i say its time for a change, staleness has been around for about 2 years now, we have a dis-interested board only prepared to do the bare minimum and we have a tactically naive and inept manager, both recipes for disaster, but if the new board acts asap once they take over all may not be lost **thumbup

So what are you going to do ?? I asked Diver the same question. you claim to want the best for the club so what are you going to do to bring about the change that you say is so desperately needed.

all we can do Willie is find religion and get those prayer mats out or hope the direction of the wind changes or maybe McManaman and Karembeu advise Mr Yeung that actually Brucie is a nice man but is no way a football manager hehe!

but it wont take long for the fans to turn at home if we reproduce drivel like today!

I hear Tony Butler still has some of those prayer mats in a cupboard.
I read stuff on here where i get the impression people think Yeung is going to roll in on his golden ricshaw and put all the wrongs right spend millions sack the manager. etc etc etc.

reading his comments those people are going to be so dissapointed.. when it does not happen. what then more of the same only for Sullivan read Yeung ??

is that what some of the fans of this club are about.....

If Yeung shows a few ounces of AMBITION then i'll be chuffed. This club is yearning for a bit of success. Im pleased with some of Yeung's early comments where he is basically saying you have to spend money to make money!! speculate to accumulate (within reason) is a sound system.

Mr Yeung probably does'nt have a magic wand but if he shows some ambition then he'll be treated as the messiah and they'll make a statue of him for erection outside our ground

wow i got the word erection into a post :LMAO:

Whats he going to go over again Monday then Willie?

How to play a centre half in midfield, Kapo well out of position, or a right back /centre half at left back


How the hell you can think this man is a serious manager is beyond me it really is

Watch him ruin Oubiņa next

But there again it wont be Bruceys fault will it ?

Why blame the board, we have a squad on paper that is easily good enough to stay up.

If we don't only one man is to blame, and why deny it, as this squad is capable of staying up!
