Steve Bruce talked about the turning fans after the useless performance and loss to Brentford. He does at least admit he`d have done the same venting wise: ‘I`ve said it many, many times about them. That`s why we`re a big club with a big history and big tradition. We`ve got a loyal support and they rightly vented their frustrations and feelings tonight. If I`d made the journey down here tonight on a horrible night I think I`d have done the same – well, I have done the same.’ What I`m not sure about is him thinking the bad performances have only just crept back in. We`ve had a few decent performances but we`ve had many where we`ve all (mostly) agreed we were winning/drawing ugly and that the hope was with doing that, at some point we`d click and things would be impressive. The odd game we`ve shown glimpses but then the team seems to be changed again and we go back to the ‘handbrake football` (a phrase I saw another fan, can`t remember where, using).
