Bruce said Gabby gave us a spark and was excellent. Deary me. What's his fascination with him? He should be nowhere near our squad.

Bit like your fascination with attendances Quinton ;)

As I have said before, Gabby is being put in the shop window.  Bruce is riding to orders.

I said the other night that Bruce has a small group of match-day squad players in mind.  All he is doing is chopping and changing them but does not go outside this group.  Would Tshibola and RHM have got a look in if Jedinak had been fit or Kodjia available.  Players come in and have a reasonable game, he plays them again and they let him down, then the cycle is then repeated.

The squad needs a shake up and sometimes you need to bring young players in for their enthusiasm to stir the other players up.  Does Bruce have the confidence to tactically train young players or does he always rely on old heads?

How did he play when he came on?

Late December back in '74 we lost at Cardiff. Then lost one more game all season to get back to Division 1. Deja vu?
No , Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.

Not great today, especially given the results above us have been wasted. Oh and my PNE supporting in-laws able to gloat again now they are back above us.

I still think we are close to having a decent team though, if only Bruce can find the players in positions that can allow us to get the best out of our underperforming but decent players.

I watched the highlights and thought the video kept going into slow-mo every time Gabby got near the ball. I kept thinking John Woo had directed and cut the highlights and wondered if a pair of doves were gonna fly out of Gabby's fat fucking arse at some point.

No.  It was late December back in '63, and back in December '63 we were riding high in the first division then it fucking snowed!

M&S wouldn't have him.  He is past his sell-by date.

How did Gabby play today (as in how well)? In the last Cardiff game I thought he did pretty well despite hitting their keeper in a one on one.

But why give players a new contract, like Gardner, exactly what has he shown to deserve one? As regards transfers, from what i've read, SB had virtually got two players to sign on the dotted line. We really need 3/4 in before our match with Wolves.
I can still see us making the play offs but, NOT with the current midfield,

A combined nine 9 touches for Westwood and Gardner today if the text I just got is correct. I havent seen it mind. I was at the cinema watching Star Wars.

According to whoscored.com Westwood had 3 touches, Gardner 6. In comparison Tshibola had 47 touches.
If that stat is right it's staggering.
