Losing is losing and becomes a habit. Regardless of the opposition or the competition.

Good point, plus, sends out all the wrong messages.

Just had this from my mate who’s there.

I cannot tell you how bad this is and no options on the bench. Bruce playing games with the board with his selection.

If that's what he's doing then he's even thicker than I thought given that they're nearly all his signings.

Elmo on for Chester. No, me neither

Elmo on for the Elphick isn’t it?

Hopefully, they are intelligent enough to see past his shit and tell him to fuck off.

Right. So we've now got one centre-back on the pitch. Who's playing defensive midfield. Genius.

Can't understand SB's thinking at all.

We've stopped winning in the league now so surely going out of this cup isn't going to impress the new owners.

Fair enough not starting likes of Kodjia and McGinn but at least put them on the bench.

Burton haven't even got their full team out and made 3 subs in the first half. Very poor.

De Laet to Centre back,Elmo to right back?  More shuffling of defensive bodies all over the shop?
