    What a ****ing disgrace. Two shots on target against a team in and around us. Just **** the ****ing hell off.

    I wish I could swap, I've got a slight hangover and standing over this oven is a shocker. Had to open a beer to try and cope.

    We really, truly have no clue and no plan. We're outdated by about a decade in terms of our "style" of play. I expect antiquated bullshit from Bruce, but Agnew and Clements are both young enough to be his son, so why they're agreeing with our ****ing horrendous tactics is beyond me. After the subs, there was no shape - Bruce, in spite of us having had one shot on target, kept the same formation. We were easily outplayed in midfield, Kouyate had a field day, but we refused to go 3 in the middle and 2 or 3 up top. We had a free kick with about 7 minutes to go, and had THREE ****ING CB's on the halfway line!!!! Marking ****ing nobody!!!

    Bruce has no grip on the modern game, at all. He's beyond a shadow of doubt utterly clueless. We're now staring at hopefully grabbing some lucky win against a rival at home, then fingers crossed the rest keep ****ing up too.

    It's embarrassing how badly wrong Bruce keeps getting it. I'm so low on interest I'm literally one more failed takeover away from jacking it in for good.

    today we lost against a side managed by a 72 year old. <laugh>

    This is why I don't get too emotional mate, I honestly jacked it in weeks ago and stated as much on the takeover thread. I'll follow us, but I'm not about to cause myself some mental health issues by taking our slow demise too seriously. It's not healthy at all.

    I did, but apparently my request for minimum wage was "higher than the club was willing to pay." I said I'd take a zero hours contract and just turn up for match days but they still felt the £8 was steep.

    Is Bruce told to play Joelinton? Serious question.

    Likelihood is that Bruce is being told to play whoever players the club signs. Often when cheap ass companies invest in something, even if it's ****e, they enforce the management to utilise the new system.

    I guarantee if he dropped Joelinton he'd be hauled up to the boardroom.
