Was it Bruno's first game where he did it in his own box and we collectively shit ourselves, his success rate must be 95% or higher and Longstaff at around 20% Bruno is the best I’ve ever seen at doing it. It’s an art form to that man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hes a very limited player with very poor concentration and decision making, probably a decent player for a club aiming for 12th-17th Disagree about decision making and concentration. Just think it’s down to footballing technique more than anything. Defensively, he was extremely good last season which shows he is switched on, he also makes loads of excellent late runs into the box. The issue is he can’t shield a ball well, he doesn’t have much passing range and he isn’t good at carrying the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Really pleased he got on the score sheet and had a good game, could tell he needed it. Yes it was only a crap Burnley side etc but it's a reminder that he's not totally useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 the BBC ratings have Ritchie at 8.03 and Longstaff at 4.25 which is obviously mental and just shows that some people have it in for him no matter what Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon1892 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) No chance we’re selling him. Daftys. If you genuinely think he’s a bad player or doesn’t add much to the squad you don’t have a clue about football. Local lad, good squad player. Very reliable. Love him. Edited May 4 by Toon1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The cynic in me thinks players are coming back and finally options to put him on the bench and now he plays more than a 3 out of 10 performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say so pal He's had a poor season, a decent performance against a Championship team doesn't really change that. If a team is daft enough to bid £20m for him he'd be one of the first I'd move on along with Almiron. Edited May 4 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I don’t rate him but I don’t mind keeping him in the squad. He’ll look much better when he’s only relieving tired players when we’re already winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Longstaff is fine. Decent player. Whatever your thoughts though, he's too good to be sold. We need to name 4 academy players in the squad for Europe, and there aren't 4 better than him. You can argue Miley and Anderson are 2, but I can't see 2 more. Until that time comes, he's not for sale and rightly so. Anyone thinking he might be off to raise funds is deluding themselves and needs to be prepared for disappointment.
