Steve Bruce is losing my respect



We drew 1-1 with Norwich. On it's own, that's not the end of the world, but, with only 2 wins out of 15 and a piss poor home record, we should be doing better.

So what does Bruce do? Does he throw his hands up and admit he's got to sort it out? No. He blames the fans.


"But the frustration of the supporters then seeps into the players and they get a bit nervous and edgy."

Darren Huckerby cancelled out Clinton Morrison's first half strike and Bruce believes that the crowd's frustration at conceding the goal was transmitted to his players on the park.

"At the moment the frustration from everybody caused by that excitement and expectation is a burden."

Well excuse the fuck out of my for having "excitement" and "expectation" but didn't Brady question my loyalty to the club come renewal time? Wasn't I told that Bruce had all of his targets signed up and that this season would be special? The club tells me to pay £500 or question my commitment yet is prepared to spend £25k a week on players who at times don't appear to give a shit and currently Savage tops that list.

Dunn looked lively, Morrison and Heskey looked like forming a great partnership and Melchiot was, once again, one of our most threatening players. So who did Bruce take off? Melchiot, Dunn and Morrison in that order. Melchiot was replaced by Gronkjaer. I've tried to defend Gronkjaer but yesterday he was poor. His passing was almost as bad as Savage who seemed to insist on either a giveaway ball or a hospital pass.

Savage has been off the boil for some time. Rumours abound about him beings cared of picking up his 5th yellow. GET FUCKING BOOKED AND GET THE FUCK OFF THE FIELD. Please. There are also rumours of a move to Blackburn. I'll ask the wife if I can borrow her car for a few hours.

If we're in a fight for survival, then the team needs to find bite and spirit. We've got less than handful of players who seemed concerned. Upson looked like he had given up, Cunningham appeared ready for the Shady Palms Retirement Home and DJ will never make a right back. Which gets me back to Melchiot. He would have stopped that cross going in. He also would have cleared the ball after it bounced away from Maik "Flapper" Taylor.
