Big Joe can easily get 3 inches off the floor. Pathetic! And disgraceful he's still pulling a shirt on for our club.

We’re at our most vulnerable when we’ve got the ball if you listen to another one of our illustrious Steves. That's incredible if true (I'm not saying that I disbelieve you). How do these people get into well paid jobs? Friends in high places?

You can't win a game of football without having the ball. I know that and I don't have any coaching badges. What is it I don't understand Steve?

This team of ours are playing with no confidence whatsoever. The players are scared shitless. All down to the useless manager Bruce. I'm furious and apathetic at the same time. Is that possible?

Sitting in lockdown watching it on TV is slightly different. There was 45-50k attendance pre covid with Bruce in charge.. 10,000 freebies though. Not proper fans.

Brilliant post.

Awful defender. Can't even take a decent throw in for God sake!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha fuckin ha! Give it a rest man, we know what you think. Well done. Almiron yeah, not sure about Gayle. And we desperately needed to get Longstaff off. Would've had Almiron on for Hendrick. Don't think Gayle needed to be sent on whatsoever. He always does this sort of thing because that's the extent of his footballing intellect, the fat mess. Still according to him it's insulting to call him a crap manager. Exactly this. "It worked last time, it'll work again" Well quite frankly, as people know on here I will certainly not give it a rest. Your point about Joelinton couldn't be anymore wrong. I can only surmise that you have not played a game of football in your life.

Yeah it's an obvious issue. Murphy is dreadful, and Lewis I thought was going to be a good buy when we signed him, but everytime I've watched him, he just seems clueless at defensive positional play, its amateur to watch at times. Lewis is an awful defender and for some bizarre reason Bruce is trying to make Murphy a fullback. Keep doing that Bruce and we are going humped every week.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha fuckin ha!

I'm expecting more results such as these before the season ends.

What a goal. I just hope the Bruce apologists analyse this game like they do after his spawny odd goal wins. Forget the score, we've been out thought and took to the cleaners. The score actually flatters us.

Fuck me, Lewis is even worse than I thought.

Someone please teach Lewis how to defend!

Man of the Match already for me.

Can't say that on here mate. Although Les Ferdinand thought similar with his half time comments. "Wilson on his own up front, the ball just keeps coming back when aimed at Joelinton". Game, set and match!

Weird you single him out, when that hasn’t actually really happened. Only EVERY game it happens. Perhaps you don't pay attention. Not singling out at all. Longstaff is shit, Lewis is awful and I'm bewildered at Murphy being right back/wingback. Wilson and Clarke have been decent. Oh and ....... Bruce hasn't got a fuckin clue!

Relentless. Please just watch him. It's infuriating. Then you have Wilson chasing everything and competing for every ball, making the defenders life a misery. That's what a forward should be doing. Joelinton can't be arsed with all that.

I would love to be the defender to mark Joelinton. Any ball high ball (bruceball) up to him he just can't be bothered. He doesn't even make a nuisance of himself. The defenders have it so easy with him.

Totally agree. If he had stayed on his line it was a comfortable catch or a little flick over the bar.

Point taken. I was being facetious.

Fraser isn’t a central midfielder bud. I would rather have Nolan, Barton (even though I am not a fan) and Guthrie ahead of the longstaffs and Hendrick like, so for me that set of midfielders was better than what we have now. Thought you were on about the midfield as a whole. If you're only on about CM then I'd probably feel even stronger. The CMs in our two relegation seasons were a disgrace. Hayden and Shelvey are a solid midfield pair. I'm arguing for arguing's sake though really. The area needs major investment and I've said several times that, had Rafa been given the resources he deserved, I wouldn't have been surprised if we'd blown a significant amount of the budget on that area. It can transform a team. Shelvey was the last significant purchase in that position; since him we've brought in Hayden, Diame, Ki, Merino and Hendrick for about £12.99 altogether, and only one of them is any use to us right now. It's been a horribly neglected position, particularly when you consider Jonjo's colossal limitations. Rafa knew what we needed. Merino would have been perfect in Rafas team. I also think he was trying to get Sean Longstaff to learn that role. If Rafa had been given a modicum of funds we would be looking good for the future. Unfortunately Ashley is still the owner.

Check the Joelinton thread. There are some right arseholes on there.

Joelinton has been ok/average in the games he's started this season. There is rarely any end product, good through ball for Wilson though. Was very lucky to score against Palace (terrible connection). He is never a £10m player never mind £40m. I love different opinions, that's what makes the world interesting. Now fuck off you ignorant cunt!

Good tackle in my opinion.
