Joe Bryan would have been fantastic.  However, Hutton is adequate in that position.  Taylor, like most other players was appalling on Tuesday night but as an experienced international, is okay for back up.

We have to accept that Axel is going to be the central defender partnering Chester in the long term.  Huth may come in on a free signing IF he isn't registered with a club at present but I can't believe that even Bruce is stupid enough to plan a season with Axel playing RB ahead of Elmo.

Moreira is baffling.  We don't know who signed him or why.  On Tuesday, there was one incident where he tried to do some kind of silly turn on an advancing striker in his 6 yard box and almost had the ball nipped from his feet.  He was that casual, you'd have thought that the ref had blown to stop play.  Then there is the drop that caused Taylor to clear off the line in the 2nd half.  Steer is more able and certainly more trustworthy.  I cannot work out how this loan is benefiting us and is the one that is causing us problems regarding the 5 maximum limit.  It is depriving us of a striker/LB unless Bunn steps up as number 2.

The argument is that Steer's getting game time somewhere else.

If only that was true, he is sitting on Charlton's bench!

If he’s not considered good enough to start for a League 1 club why are we fussed?

We can only dream of beating a League 1 club.

What a state we are, when even tongue in cheek, it’s true ☹️

It isn't, but don't let that stop you.

Was Moreira supposed to come in as number one and then SB saw him in training and wanted another keeper?! I too struggled to understand it as likes of Bunn and Steer are fine as squad keepers although guess Jed wants to play regularly now rather than back up.

Watching Man City on Amazon and seeing Pep talk about something I bang on about vis-a-vis pace being used to dominate territory and act as a defensive shield as well as an offensive weapon,has made something clear.

Sack Bruce and put me back in charge.

Love his attention to detail. His energy. His coaching. Bit special ain't he?

Number of posts is like Bruce's win percentage.  It has to be put in context.  20,000 posts racked up on African Car Reverser and Why didn't Gareth Barry take the penalty? are as nothing compared with heavy duty stuff like Fans Worried About The Future and Guess The Crowd and the outing of trolls.  Some of my best friends have fewer than 10,000 posts.


Some of my friends have less than 10,000 posts and are black, Muslim, gay and disabled. I'm all inclusive me.

Although obviously I wouldn't actually want any of them living next door to me. ;)

Having said that, my next door neighbour of nearly twenty years is a bluenose who insists on decorating his house in blue and white lights at Christmas.

Maybe they have been inspired by the 1998 Romanian World Cup squad and have all bleached their hair pure blonde.

The team is almost always unrecognisable from the one that played the previous match. That's the problem.

Come on, don't you mean previous half!

The 9 changes he made for the Burton game will be replaced by the 9 players that were replaced in the first place.  He'll count that as 18 changes and squad rotation

I didn't realise Bruce was so intimate with the team.

Why don't these so called journalists challenge him ?Draws against lowly 10 man Ipswich and woeful Reading and claiming that the performance v Brentford wa regarded as one of the best in a long time.

He's actually right about Brentford, but I think he doesn't realise that calling a 2-2 draw with Brentford, where we saved the point in injury time, our best performance in a while is pretty damning about how poor we've been for the last 15-20 games.
