Lansbury is doing exactly what's he's done his entire career, he's coasting waiting for a chance to show everyone he's brilliant, after which he' ll go full peacock and offer nothing for the rest of the game.

Taylor is the biggest problem for me, if he plays this role regularly next season we're fucked.

Burton definitely the better side and finding space down the outside of our back three regularly

We've barely kept the ball for the last 20 mins

Good competitive work out

But would like more details evidence that having a settled squad is starting to mean we're more coherent

Plus we can't go into a season w the current set of centre backs.

Fuck me that was shite from Hutton, I know he's a cult figure amongst the fans but he's an awful player.

I see Bruce is using the likes of Richards. Ross and Tish together with several of the U21s .....

God the passing really is shit. Hourihane. Hutton. Lansbury. Basic stuff

They should have had two or three by now

Burton should be 4-1 to the good by now.

As per the last few seasons I really do wonder what they do on the training ground. Their movement is miles better than ours and if they could finish we’d be 3-1 down.

It really is pretty embarrassing fare

Maybe we'll revert to a back four second half

Adomah has been awful as has Lansbury, Taylor and Hutton

This midfield is all wrong, Lansbury and Hourihane don't work as the deeper 2 which is forcing Grealish deeper than he should be and as a result we've struggled to create anything.

We need a more commanding presence at CB. Love Chester but he’s a brilliant, intelligent clean up type player. It’s why he looked so good next to Terry. But CB is a weak spot right now. And Neil Taylor is back to his usual gash level.

Why do we have 2 goalkeepers on the bench?
