It’s pretty rational to be annoyed , frustrated and generally pissed off being served up dross like that is it not ? Surrendered twice to Man City , threw it away against West Ham , villa and today . It seems as though Bruce is now immune to criticism because people feel sorry for him and he seems like a Genuine guy?
Also saying we’ve over performed our position during these six games is a twisted way of looking at it . You could also say we are way below of you look at last 3 games
If you object to me commenting on a six game run of form then why did you quote the stat in your comment? And no matter how you pick apart the individual games, if we had maintained 11th best form all season we would be 11th and not 13th, so it is factually a better than average (for us) string of results.
As for the rest, yes it is rational to not like losing, but it isn't rational to make hyperbolic statements or judgement about players or managers based on one or a short string of results when a season is 38 games long and we should expect to lose games during the course of it. Yet there is never a defeat without at least one comment from somebody losing their s*** over the result. Even entitled Man U and Liverpool fans know they can't win every game and yet our fans can't seem to cope with their mid-table team losing games despite many years of practice and what should be a realistic expectation of losing as many as we win.
I didn’t . I said I’d sack him based on the last month alone. Didn’t mention stats in my argument (or at least I dont think I did ??)
It’s not purely based on this game or the last few . We have been s*** all season imo ( and for
The last 10 years) but it seems to be excepted now as all the pundits are telling us he’s doing a good job . We’ve lost a lot of winnable games this season and I expect we lost/drawn a few from winning positions. My problem is the losing mentality we seem to have. I don’t think Sheffield Utd , Burnley , Southampton have better squads than us and yet all are above us in the league . Maybe it’s an over- reaction but I’m sick of watching this shote week in week out whilst constantly hearing how good bruce is .
