I like keinan

But he's the opposite of prolific. And there's much less of a case for him now we're playing less direct football. At times last season, having keinan upfront was the only hope of turning one of elmo's punts down the line into something purposeful

Same here, Bruce threw him in, in desperation, over played him, he got injured and was not seen again for a long long time.
Brilliant management.

Overplayed?  How many games did he play? 

Bruce doesn’t play youngsters.  Gets slagged off.
Bruce plays youngsters.  Gets slagged off.

Get a grip.

Exactly.  Never let it be said Bruce doesn't give youth a chance because in spite of vast resources he left Davis as our only striking option for months

He played 37 (scoring 3).
I hope DS tries him out today - he showed promise, is only 20 and we may need another striking option.

[Clampy]

He got thrown into the first team because every other striker was injured. Shame on Bruce for using one of the reserve strikers, what was he thinking?

I’m sure Bruce is grateful that any criticism of him on here and you will always come rushing to his defence

I won’t and don’t defend all Bruce criticism.  I just don’t see the point of obsessive  hypocritical pointless criticism John

This simply isn’t anywhere near good enough Dean. You need to sort it out, I get that Grealish is important, but our “performances” have been pathetic since he got injured. We’re drifting and you need to do something.

[Risso]

Unacceptable today, completely and utterly unacceptable.

We knew it from the team selection. What the fuck was he expecting with Hutton at CB and that useless pile of shit Whelan in CM? Fucking dire. If this was Bruce he'd be getting pelters. Dean Smith gets no pass after this.

Hang on re read the start of the fa cup SWANSEA  thread....everyone happy with a strong team !?

Playing a young player with a bad injury, yes what was he thinking.
Good to see you stil sticking up for Him.

Part of me thinks we should sell Grealish ASAP and spend the rest of the season working out a system to play without him. We can't carry on being so deeply at the mercy of his good health.

[Ad@m]

Well that first half was the worst we've witnessed since Smith took over. It also shows how scary a future without Abraham and Grealish would look.

O'Hare was also a massive disappointment for me. He needs to go on loan somewhere to toughen up - it was genuinely like men Vs boys.

Only Lansbury and Davis come out of that with any credit.

That isn’t a bad shout to be honest.

[Three Spires Villa]

Terrible performance, what has happened since Derby & West Brom? We were bloody awful today & have been for a few games. It needs sorting & quickly
