Bruuuuno

Can't remember the last time I've enjoyed watching us this much and been counting down the days to the next match. We've dictated the tempo perfectly, not looked like conceding and ruined them down the flanks. Unrecognisable team to just a couple of months ago and I'm here for it.

Hot streak Joe at it again

Geeeeet in!!

Joooooo

Unlucky Wood, what's he got to do to score??

We'll win this, I'm hanging my hat.

Sounds to me like Maxi and Manq start on the bench, I can deal with that as hopefully we won't need them.

Tiote, end of discussion.

We're like the adopted dog that flinches every time its new owner goes to stroke it

Well that was a watch, felt Middlesbrough could have had a couple more there but chose to wind down the clock. Wilder rang the changes at half time and old Brucie was dumb struck again.

I'm gonna have to tune in tonight just to see how gash they're playing, I hope they don't disappoint me.

Whatever the end result is, I hope its not us and I hope it is Everton!

Anything to protect media darling Brucie, they won't be looking too deeply at how the same players are night and day, it'll just be "oh they've got lots of money and spent £90m in the Jan window, Bruce was shafted by Ashley". Anyway not our problem anymore, let just enjoy him crashing and burning in a lower league club.

I've said from the start that Bruno needs to replace Shelvey at some point, Willock is the only one capable of scoring goals and with Bruno's eye for a threaded early pass it could really unlock Willock's ability. We replace Willock with ASM and Wilson out then we offer no goal threat.

Classiest fans

Oops!

Still in our hands, if we can't get safe from here then it's our own fault. Huge game against Brentford, could be season deciding. We're on a 5 game unbeaten run and the teams above us are flailing, nothing to panic about.

I can see Howe holding him back because the engine room is doing its job at the moment, if we're in a losing position going into the 2nd half tomorrow or getting overrun in the middle of the park Bruno will get an earlier call up. If somehow we're winning again Bruno will only get a cameo.

This was it for me, I think he was more kept quiet than had a quiet game.

Can't be 0 when we're not mathematically safe, however for the first time I'm dropping from a 6 to a 2,we've got the wind in our sails now and I can't see us dropping back into the bottom 3 when you look at current form between us and them. Even better is the fact this is probably the last time we'll see this thread in a generation.

First 3 in a row in 4 years and 4 points clear of the drop, finally some breathing space and some confidence going into the most important part of the season.

Leeds are shocking

Preferably a draw today but would settle for a Leeds win, would like to keep a few teams in striking distance, the more teams we could put between us and the bottom 3, the better. Brentford are definitely in free fall so we could get the opportunity to leapfrog them and Everton if we can get our own results.
