I have a feeling that he'll try to play Snoddy more centrally, however he could try and persist with the 352 and play him tucked in on the right with Hourihane and Green on the left. Bruce is going to have a few selection dilemmas for sure, so I hope he actually has a plan in place whereby we can rotate players in and out rather than switching formations week in week out.

I'm really struggling to see what line up you're suggesting there!

I'm less used about left back cover than others. De Laet has played a lot of his career there in promotion winning sides, Bree can play there as can Clark

More worried about centre back. But I think Jedinak is fourth choice there

Good confident teams deal with fullback cover on their stride. These positions are the least of our worries. We need to get the main unit moving properly.

I was surprised to see his comments the other day about his time at West Ham. Strikes me a little of the sort of attitude we've had too much of ourselves here, and what we're trying to rid ourselves of. The "it's the managers doing" and not mine. He's come out too and been quoted as saying he hates playing on the left. So you know what's absolutely fucking nailed on now don't you...Brucies gonna have Snodgrass out on the left wing before Septembers out. I get the impression he's got a little big of a high opinion of himself potentially with ideas he's got nothing left to prove. Well he's got to prove it at a big club and he's not proved it in the Premier League, which is ultimately where we want to head.

He's a good player, so I'm really hoping he's not gonna be another tosspot. We've had too many. But my dickhead alarm did go off a bit.

Disagree. He's knocking on a bit and wants to deliver and knows he can only really do that if played in his favourite position. Liked his attitude.

Wow, having a pop at a player before he's even kicked a ball for us, nice one.

lighten up. Just a joke - I'm sure Snoddy is going to be just like all Bruce's other signings.
