You're mental, we barely created a good chance that's not a shot from distance. Well actually, we did get ourselves into a few positions where a bit of quality might have resulted in a goal. Murphy had a couple of chances, Almiron got one or two crosses in, and Fraser had a chance. All were fluffed and led to nothing. Doesn't change the fact that we have been dreadful, mind.

Longstaff has no career in football at the top level with a manager like Bruce. Been dreadful pretty much since the day Bruce came in.

For someone who's strength is in his technique, Shelvey really does fuck up a lot of opportunities.

Final touch was shocking when he got through. Not the first time either. That said, you could say that for most of them, all are getting hassled out of possession too easily. To his credit, he's been the only one getting himself into a threatening position, but once there, he's repeatedly fluffed it, as you've said.

Anybody who has watched us play knows we can't handle any kind of pressing. I was more referring to our lack of pressing, a basic requirement in modern football, but you aren't wrong.

Manquillo drives me insane how often he carries the ball forward only to turn around and pass backwards. Literally every game, even if he has options.

Murphy looks far more confident now, but still massively lacking any end product.

Aye, very much so. Out of position, can’t pass, getting outmuscled. Just poor.he looks like he can’t be arsed, but is probably just too shit. He really doesn't look like he "can't be arsed".

Unlucky Dolan

Steve Bruce very solid defensively

Positive from Murphy, I suppose.

I really enjoy how this League 2 team is pressing high up the pitch, whereas we're sitting deep doing fuck all. It also baffles me how despite how little we press, we always have a gaping hole in the middle of the park.

He really does need sacking early, we surely can't sustain any reasonable points return the way he sets us up.

The fuck was that from Murphy

Pahaha

I think he had a shot with that chance.

I would imagine the context of the game played a part in the uproar. We absolutely deserved fuck all from the game and achieved a result from a contentious decision. Obviously it rightfully played no part in the decision.

These comments are becoming a parody of themselves it's said so frequently.

Literally no interest in passing the ball forward. Manquillo looks up, sees a man ahead of him and a pass on. Turns around and passes backward. Painful

We are so garbage to watch. Meandering, unambitious shite.

We are so far beyond “this is our worst performance for so long” it’s become a running joke. We have had 13 years of several performances of this standard a season.

O ye, of little faith.

The faux crowd noise when the whistle went

Above Man City though.

Considering there is no lack of unity or confidence in the squad, and Bruce has a relatively reasonable squad of players, this is totally on him. It's an unacceptable level of performance from pretty much every player (bar Almiron I suppose)
