Just back from game and everyone played well with the exception of one player - again Brunt didn't turn up. Other than an excellent clearing header from a Southampton cross from their left, his quality was zero. Crosses were constantly over hit, poor passing etc etc. I just don't know how he keeps getting selected over Poco or indeed anyone who could do a better job.
Funny how others who watched the game thought Brunt was one of our best players. Certainly wasn't for me !

Other than mis-hitting a couple of left wing crosses, which used to be his forté, I think Brunt had a good game.  I am led to understand Pocognoli isn't keen on the tough training régime and appears to have lost his watch.  If true, neither of these problems is likely to endear him to a strong disciplinarian like TP.
