Bruces 3rd season in - we should be hitting the ground running

[Richy Rich]

the pre-season raised doubts, instead we fall flat on our faces again.

Bruce out, truth is I've got no faith in the next appointment either - Quinn just can't pick them.

We are again waiting for a new team to gel. It's a problem of his own making in a way what with the loan players not being made permanent (except Elmo) and not in another losing the likes of Bent and Henderson.

Pre-season didn't seem to be particularly tough this year - players not fully fit, overweight etc.


I WONDER: Is this deliberate, so that the players come into fitness later, and therefore get less injuries.
I'm sure an old manager used this idea once, and it worked out quite well.

If so, it needs to be announced very fucking quickly!

But that was the reason we got them all in early, so we could work on stuff in pre-season, rather than having to work it out as we went along.

Pleased to see that plans working out....
