I'm surprised they moved the away fans.

In the prem days it always used to be in the corner by the corner flag and large allocations would get behind the goal.

Half of the main stand can't hold that much?

Bruce paid for his cautious approach today. Wrong team selection however we lack quality to dominate ordinarily teams at this level.

Lack quality - after spending over £50m in the summer....Jesus there is something wrong if that is the case.

Absolutely, we lack quality all over the pitch. 

We have at best 3 or 4 players who could conceivably cut it in a higher league, Grealish, Kodija, Chester and possibly Baker if he could stay fit form more than a nanosecond.

The rest are either horses for courses or out and out garbage.  The only saving grace is that pretty much every team we've played against is equally bereft of quality.

This is no doubt a competitive league, but it's not a quality league.

I don't think the it was harsh on Gollini at all.
There were some poor performances in that game by usual suspects. Hutton, Amavi, Gestede, Gardner all spring to my mind.
Before you try to tell me that Amavi just had an off day, save your time

You're right.

A diagonal ball into the box from about 30 yards out.  How on earth is it harsh to expect the keeper to come and get it, or stop on his line and deal with it?

It was a great ball in, but his slight hesitation fucked him. The quality of delivery didn't leave much margin for error.
