I watched Burnley yesterday and that was what you expect from a new manager. Completely different style, an identity, a shape.
Since Bruce has come in, we look like 11 blokes thrown together who have never played before. It was like that last season and today is no different.
And this is nowhere near our best team. The selection is an absolute joke.
Yokuslu at 50% fitness should walk into team.
How many years do we have to watch Grant up top to know he can't play there? He couldn't control a bag of cement. Dike has to play.
Why is Phillips still in the side?
As for Furlong. Don't even get me started. How he's a pro is beyond me. His "control" when he lost the ball for their goal wouldn't be acceptable on a Sunday morning.
A few changes and we will get better but it shouldn't be like this. This selection should never have happened.
I give Bruce a few months and then he will be sacked. Unfortunately it will be too late. An absolute shambles.
Totally agree, Slick.
I saw the team before kick off and couldn’t believe it. When you have an excellent wide man in Wallace, what on earth is the point of playing Phillips, particularly when you leave Dike on the bench - if the manager believes he needs another wide player, however, then for f*ck sake play Diangana instead of Phillips.
Furlong continues at right back to the astonishment of everyone except himself and the manager.
Before the game I’d have taken a point, so I guess it worked out in the end but I can’t help thinking that some more positivity in the first half and it could have been three points.
Will Bruce have learned anything from this or will it be wash-rinse-repeat for the next match?

Apologies folks as I seemed to have replied three times to Slick
