    I don't rate him particularly highly. I just rate him higher than Joelinton. If Gayle is hopeless, then Joelinton just needs put down.

    Joelinton is playing very well in his role atm. Gayle couldn't do that he's just a poacher.

    I don't know I think being played wide while Fraser plays a false nine probably isn't helping. ****ing Bruce man, you can't make this **** up.

    If there are only three sides in it then we are definitely going down.

    So on Skybet they've stopped taking odds on West Brom and Sheff U going down and we're top of the rest of 4/5.

    Brighton are 11/1.... Why? They're one point ahead of us, why are they so safe?

    I made a ****tonne from Brighton during the championship season - when we were way ahead and they had huge odds I put a load on them, then cashed in with 3 games to go when they 7 points ahead. Then at the same time put a load on us winning with 3 games to go.

    Because they can play football I assume... The sad reality is right now we're the worst side from Fulham West brom and ourselves... The odds could change again, but Brighton are favourites to beat us this weekend also

    We're better than West Brom.

    Brighton have won one home game all season, yes they're likely to make that 2 on Saturday, but their home form is dreadful.

    Because they’ve got us this weekend. Odds will change if we win that.

    Well yeah obviously, but 11/1 at this stage when they're one point above us seems ridiculous.

    But ten times better than Joelinton or Fraser through the middle, 100 times more likely to score, and easily the best available option at present.

    Whatever the opinion of Gayle - I think he’s the ****ing pits - matters not, we aren’t playing a formation that will get anything out of him, no matter how much or little he has to give. He, and Carroll, serve no purpose unless we have a plan b. Which we don’t.

    We don’t even have the players available for this plan a, but that’s ****ing Bruce for ya.

    Gayle offers nothing Joelinton despite the narrow view that he can't shoot offers far more.

    I called this on Monday and I think this is the problem. To many nice wet boys in that changing room.

    Quote from world class player Fraser....

    "The second goal was identical to their first. It was a little bit too easy, we can’t let that happen again.“

    What Ryan, you don’t want the exact same game to happen 3 times then? 2 is enough eh!
