Kid Icarus Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 A couple of times I've thought "I hope he doesn't just keep trying to score from corners now" immediately before he almost scores from another corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Was sat in the Leazes when he scored from the corner. Feels like he's tried to score from every corner since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I wouldn't go as far to say that he's carrying this team but I also think we'd be absolutely fucked if we lost him for any length of time. Nobody could come in and do what he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Thought he got caught on the ball or missed his pass a few times, but he's trying to break the lines with killer passes rather than play safe so that should be expected. Even when he's not 100% he still makes us tick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 He seems to be growing into the captaincy role. Doing more of the leadership side of things. Long may that continue, as I feel like it's been his main weakness since he took over from Trips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 We'd be lost without him i think. Everything goes through him and he's always driving us on. Started to score plenty of goals too which just makes him even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Will go down as our all time pound for pound best player ever. Captained us to a trophy, grafts his bollocks off, does the defending, pressing, assisting, crossing, corners and crucial goals. All the while off the pitch he couldn’t be a more lovely chill down to earth bloke. He’s become my all time favorite player.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Best midfielder we’ve had in my lifetime. Wish we could rest the lad occasionally, but he never, ever complains about being overworked - I suspect he’d likely complain about being rested.

alexf Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Looks like he keeps taking a pill of some sort at the start of games / half time lately. Not sure what that's about but he doesn't half put a shift in and work hard for the team. He remains our only source of unlocking defences. We are crying out for another prayer with abit of vision and creativity to help him out. Also kudos to him for the goal return. Is this his best scoring season to date? Plenty of games left to bag some more aswell, but it does show up our other attacking players poor numbers. Edited January 5 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eddie in his press conference mentioned Bruno has grown into his role as captain. I thought it was daft as hell when he was named captain because he is so emotional. It worked out and yes he is outstanding. He does need a day off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
