Do you?
No Mr Bake i don't know.. I does just watch de man play he foot-ball. But it seems like others on this forum does be in de dressing room when de coach talking to KJ. Ask kev seems like he know!!
Sorry for boring you but here's my opinion / view of whats happening.
To me Bruce at the minute is displaying the classic signs of a coach who has too many players he doesn't really have confidence in / want. He is changing the team in hope rather than expectation, especially the defence, I just thought a few of his picks/subs were strange but its happened too often for me other than he doesn't trust them. Add to that injuries and suspensions and he has hit the panic button in the last month, looking from the outside his changes/subs are getting weirder and more bizarre. Now I have a little bit of an advantage because I have seen the players in a lot more games, they must be some of the best trainers in the world given 3 managers seem to rate the same players, but its not in training where it counts.
The defence he obviously rates Turner very higher, so far he isn't living upto that in my eyes looks distinctly average, his great white hope is Mensah, but he is/has been forever injured, when played he has looked a decent player most of the time, but the truth is its pointless having a player that you can't play and at this moment in time he hasn't played enough to tell whether he is worth it.
Midfield as said at the end of the transfer window he left himself badly short we only have 2 CM's Cana and Cattermole, Cana the way he plays is always going to get suspensions through 2 yellow cards making a red or the totting up process. Cattermole has been injured and has picked up another. Reid wasn't in Bruce's plans at the start of the season, but forced himself into the team and has been our best creative player by a country mile. Henderson is only a kid, one that looks like he could have a future, but isn't a CM which is where Bruce has been playing him because of necessity, his form as with most kids will go up and down so he needs taking out of the firing line now and again, he has not been. Richardson, Malbranque simply don't offer enough often enough and needs replacing with pacey players.
Forwards he has Bent and Kenwyne, he wants to play 442, he likes a target man and wants to paly that way. Bent is what he is and will always get his fair share of goals. In my eyes Bruce has tried threats, praise etc on Kenwyne and he doesn't believe its working. I just think he is tsruggle with Kenwyne's personality (laid back) and struggles to understand it. It suggests to me he thinks he isn't getting what he should be getting out of Kenwyne and he now has doubts he can, is this down to Kenwyne or shows a lack of skill on Bruce's behalf, a bit of both I suspect. Campbell (who seems to be getting a lot of stick off some fans) hasn't really been given a chance, when he has played he has played out wide, he is the type of player that really needs to play with a Kenwyne type partner, his only chance to do that will be if Bent gets injured (understanably), he needs games and a couple of goals, feel a bit sorry for him really because its not going to happen and his career is on hold until it does, the longer it goes on the harder it will be for him. He is only young and if I was the club look at loaning him out tbh. The rest are a waste of space.
I can easily see Kenwyne being sold in the summer for the above reasons, personally would prefer competition for him in another target man at the club, don't think the club can afford to do that at the minute with much higher priorities elsewhere in the team. The reason I say that is his 1st 6 months he was outstanding, unplayable and rightly gained all the plaudits, some on here went way overboard but thats a different story. The injury played a part but his form had dipped before that, just again without knowing Kenwyne it seems to me he had a point to prove and did it, now he has been automatic choice with no other threat to his position in the squad and he looks "comfortable", he might need a better team around him but to me he definately looks like he needs competition for his place. Just my opinion.
He doesn't really want either FB, Bardsley or McCartney
