Those highlights don't make it any easier. I watch Hourihane's shot thinking Hogan will move out the way this time.

You cannot completely dominate a game like that and be so profligate with better than good chances. Some absolute sitters missed.

Saturday we have Johnstone to thank for a point, last night Thor, Snodgrass and Boro's best defender, Hogan.

That's a penalty first half as well, Randolph foul's Lansbury. Never ever a red car either.

Just heard Bruce on WM. He said we played against ten men for 40 minutes. It was 60, you bull shitter.

He also said the fans reaction was hysterical. What a wanker.

His first words were its never easy against ten men followed by the 40 mins bollocks

Lansbury was a bellend for what he did but I thought if anything it was a yellow. Really harsh to give him a straight red and I think we should appeal it.
As for the game - frustrating as hell, we had enough chances to win 5 games but we just can't find the back of the net. I'm seriously pissed off with Bruce, and last night I wanted him out there and then but I've calmed down a bit now. He's got this month and that's it though. If we're still struggling by the start of October we should be looking for a new manager. I think we've suffered enough now.

Pretty much agree and having Kodja back might save him but I think a defeat on Saturday and the pressure on the board to act will be huge.

I think giving him to the end of the month is the right thing to do. Having Kodjia back might give the whole team a lift. I actually thought we were a little unlucky last night, especially with the sending off and Hogan's block on the line.

We were unlucky in the Second Half. We never looked like threatening in the First Half though which is pretty shite against ten men.

Plenty of times Di Matteo Villa would play better than last night and fail to win, he still got sacked.

"Unlucky" is just the latest in a long line of excuses. For whatever reason, Bruce isn't delivering the results he was hired to obtain. Every league game sees the promotion contenders get further away.

He's had close on a year, and two transfer windows, to sort this shit out.

Forget waiting for October. That's just another few matches wasted. He's got to go. Now.

The big chances came later in the games. The period after the sending off to HT was horrendous with a man advantage. We barely threatened their goal. Shit we barely threatened the edge of their penalty box.

We still should have gone in one nil up and I think had a penalty too.

It was harder against 10 men that it would have been 11 given the way they retreated in a manner they would not have. They didn't have a forward for long periods of the game, but it was not until the second half and the switch that we made the pitch bigger and the gaps bigger too in order to create chances.

There were plenty of occasions where they had a flat back six. But you cannot miss chances as easy as we did and expect to win games. Its criminal that we have not won it.

if he's still here at the end of the month and we are still misfiring in the league then the answer is clear - the Dr has given up and he's looking for an out.

Man city against Liverpool didnt have such problems on Saturday against 10 men. I saw the Sky analysis of Pep's tactics and basically he pushed his two wide men evn higher up the pitch to stretch their back four and it worked. In summary he reacted positively and City scored 4 goals against the 10 men

I'm getting tired of people saying we have the best squad in the league. It's either deluded or arrogant, I'm not sure which.

We finished bottom half last season and are there again this season. Regardless of your thoughts on Bruce (and I want him sacked), we don't have the best squad in the league.
