It’s absolutely childish and frankly pathetic of Bruce not to try and reintegrate McCormack into the squad. He’s a forward with a proven track record. He won’t play him. He can’t sell him. Just mind numbingly stubborn and stupid.

We don't know what's going on there though do we? It looks strange from the outside but there might be other things going on we don't know about.

He sent him away on loan where overall RM did well. He comes back fit and isn’t even given a sniff. I absolutely get RM started all of this. But at what point do you put that aside and get him to contribute again. We can’t buy players, we need to reduce the wage bill, we paid a stupid amount of money for him. Using him in some capacity given our current situation surely makes sense.

I agree.
We are paying him a fortune. At least TRY and reintegrate him.
What exactly have we got to lose?

Dresden look a lot better than us so far. Better movement. We look dreadful at the back trying to incorporate/force a CM and RB into a three man CB formation.

Their pitch is in a bit of a state.

Being schooled by Dresden's passing and movement right now. We look devoid of fresh ideas from the bench and on the pitch, it's like nothing has changed from last year. Oh wait...

The average age of our starting line up has to be pushing 30. And we look it

It seems like the new tactic from Bruce is to see how ,amy he can play out of their natural position ........
If we are short of a forward then Ross Mc should be playing not sat at home .....you cant blame him for picking his wages up if the manager wont give him a chance

It's infuriating how when we play any side whatsoever with a semblance of confidence, quick movement and decent passing we just immediately retreat into our shell, start lumping it long and stop moving ourselves.
