RHM on for Elmo and Hourihane on for Whelan for me, get some more energy into the game.

Green looks like he's playing in his head, he's overthinking everything so it looks forced.

Nyland needs to be stronger there.

You summed the goal up well. Not exactly one for the bloopers DVD, but he should have done better.

Green can run fast and has a bit of a shot...sometimes.  That's all.

Embarrassing scrambles. That attacker basically stopped in the box and out his foot on the ball. Back to the keystone cops days.

i suspect one reason we might be shit defensively is that we've got a midfielder at CB, a CB at RB and a frightening goalkeeper

Still, we've got plenty of wingers.
That made me chuckle...I miss the days when we had all those full backs

Our fitness levels seem utterly hopeless as well.

should have been changes at 65 mins - we ran out of energy and ideas then . The final ball at times wasnt good enough and even Jack kept making the wrong decisions .
We dont deserve to lose at all but SB struggles always to change it

This was coming. Three wins at the start - all in their own way highly fortuitous. Then the draw, now the defeat. It’s almost poetic in how it has played out.

100% predictable weaknesses and 100% Bruce's fault.

We've played well for the most part but defensively we've looked awful a number of times.
Howanu saves has their keeper made?
