Roy Race.

Aye Steve. Imagine what it's like watching it, unable to do anything to change things.

alrite Pards. I was wondering which muppet would come up with something like this. Defending, to some degree, is part and parcel of a wingers job. It was a joke you muppet.

Doesn't need one. That team was good enough to beat the likes of Brighton, players have let him down.

Like fat chops would even see it ffs. He's employed Pardew, then let Carver have a go, then Island Head and finally Bruce is stinking it up. You really think Ashley will see the error of all that now ? He had a top manager and forced him out. Exactly, and that manager approached us, Ashley and Charnley wouldn't know a decent manager if he/she fell on them. Tut tut.

Villa play tomorrow, don't they?

Hope we romp to 3-2 now. Of course he'll take praise for his substitution rather than acknowledge he picked the wrong team. We ain't romping anything I know what hope does.

Looks like I'm having my dinner early, then.

None necessary. Bruce picked the same team that beat WHam, "same again lads".

I was still contemplating turning on.

The training ground atmosphere is creating this. The records for this season are going to be insane. Think there will be an awful lot of players that have deceptively good seasons.

When they play a 4-3 vs Liverpool.

Handily, though, 442 means we can always accommodate Joelinton.

No problem with that tbh, it's about time he took responsibility for his preferred system. He won't though. And the media won't push him. He'll likely get the required degree of success with a 442, and be celebrated for keeping us up.

To be fair, under Bruce he'd start the attacking phase in his own half box and would be required to sprint.

I think the club need to do what's best for the player. I've got no reason to wish ill on him, I hope he can save his career. Or get a good job as a hairdresser.

He's not keen on the bay windows.

Right now I don't think money comes into it. He needs to be playing, and he needs to be happy to be playing. Send him to a German second division club and pay all his wages, if that's what it takes.

Ah, fuck. No surprise, of course. Fucking pointless prick.

He's not enjoying his football any more than the fans. Understandably as he's had a torrid time. I can't ever see him rekindling any joy under Bruce.

Brilliant introduction for him. Didn't demonstrate half of his talent but arrived with a big fuck off bang. Always going to be a favourite after that. Cisse v Villa was similar, in that respect.

Not having Almiron as part of your first 11 is pretty insane to begin with. Yes. But we do have a squad now and rotation is sensible. I'm still happy to accept the team selection, against WHam, was chosen with this in mind. Over to you Steve.

Saving Almiron for Morecambe would be insane.
