Losing first team players is one thing, but to lose them to Championship clubs is a very depressing thought.

Only if they're players we really don't want to lose surely

you can't possibly know or believe that without a nanosecond of the new season being played

Vs Hull

Came on late.  Was awful and did a stupid foul.  Booked.
Maybe frustrated or just not up to speed.
Maybe thinking why am I on bench

I can see him in for Yeovil and having to play himself in to team.

Hope Bruce uses him , appreciate him and appropriately rotate this season . Also players must be given a decent run .

I always feel BB gets a raw deal and because of versatile play he gets shifted around

Mcginn coming in (that rhymes) could be another in the way of BB ever holding down reg spot.

I don't think loaning out should be considered and seems late to be selling him on.

So thankful he kept as think he has quality in right areas and needs manager to give him more time this season.

Yes, I'd be getting rid of Gardner and Lansbury before him.

His form for us is so incredibly variable. Beginning to think he is just one of those players who will always be better for country than club. Might be a positional thing, feeling more at home, confidence, whatever it is it's hard to pick a player where you don't know what you're going to get.

I think he's a pivotal player as he can cover so many positions. I would let him go for the right price but we could do with a replacement. Despite signing MCGinn I think we are still light in midfield, especially if we are to rely too heavily on grandad's Whelan and Jedinak. Andy King from Leicester might not be fake news!!

Similar to other rumours feel that Bjarnasson should be kept on despite signing McGinnty.

I don't think he's very good.  Jack of all trades, master of none.  He has more legs than Whelan and Jedinak, but that's about it.  Plus he looks like a right miserable sod, who thinks he's better than he actually is.
