That is the substitution - Ritchie off and Murphy on. Ritchie is just useless

Same - I really miss the days when the cheeky smile of the man in charge of our club would make you think that everything would be alright

He is terrible, but at least he tries to run unlike Shelvey. He was out on his feet from the 60th minute (like normal) and didn’t look bothered. Both of them can’t play in the same team

Most accurate. Agreed. His finishing is appalling, but he has some decent parts to his game that a good coach could work with. I thought he had a very good game today and deserved his goal in the end

I mean you’d think that NCSL has some information that they can prove. What’s the point of pushing this to court without some real knowledge of what went on with the O&D process to break anti competition rules.

Such a shame If you strip away the bullshit inevitably that Rafa was leaving, that final four months of the season had me so optimistic about what was to come. I mean imagine Rafa in charge right now with some sound investment. The league is wide open and we could have had a great chance of going for a European spot under Rafa’s stewardship.

We have played well once in Bruce’s entire reign (Bournemouth away last season). We have been terrible in every other game played. At least the others had a plan and way of trying to play

He’s proper turd. Hasn’t done anything to try and change the game and we have been battered from the first minute

Ings and Bertrand look to be out of this one - gives us a small chance

I’m embarrassed with how bad a team we are. There’s no pattern of play, no game plan and no hope. We are setup to lose

He will be removed from the team when a new manager comes in, hopefully that’s sooner rather than later

His inability to run cost us the goal for 2-1. A midfielder in a two needs to be able to run back as much as he does going forward. Watching him run is like watching someone try and move in slow motion. It makes no sense that he hasn’t been replaced. I guess he’s ones of Bruce’s good characters so an automatic starter

Has to get Almiron on the pitch. He would do a far better job than Shelvey and Hendrick in the centre of midfield

Red and white did you say? Notice the jam jar lid! That’s me back in then

Yeah we need Wilson on right now

Never missed Rafa more than I do right now

Agreed

Spot on. Was raging the same to the missus yesterday and she then understood how bad the guy is from watching his performance in the first half. He has no legs (you need an engine in this league) and ability to pass forward has appeared to have gone from his game. It’s like playing with 10 men from the start

When did we last get a pen in the league? Feels like ages ago

I can’t believe Shelvey hasn’t been substituted yet. He offers absolutely nothing

First half performance was like truly travelling back in time

Should have happened after 8 minutes, but they have stood there not doing anything tactical whatsoever

It’s not his fault today - he shouldn’t be in the team to defend in the manner being asked. It’s clear from the way this Lamptey kid has destroyed how left side that Almiron was needed to stifle those attacks and then you can play from there. Allan should have started in a free role behind Wilson

It will be he same line up as West Ham based on previous Bruce selections

That seems about right to me
