    Agreed. Longy should be in on merit. Always gives his all. And brings out the best in Bruno.

    Then you're not correct mate.. I believe he has a confidence issue sometimes.

    Skills are right up there and plenty say this.

    I am correct. He doesn’t know where he is half the time, his passing is poor and he bumbles along with the ball.

    You're actually massively wrong mate

    Two poor games doesn't change the skills a player has.

    What has been annoying is that we can play 1 or 2 touch passing through midfield in spells but can't seem to sustain it and drop back to dribbling around with the ball and allowing opposition midfield to press.

    Joelinton had three opportunities to get rid of the ball against Bournemouth which led to their goal - one example, but plenty of others by others too.

    Pass and move, it's really not that difficult

    It's the move part they're all made of lead in the main.

    Just felt like they're trying to achieve something without sufficient personnel but time will tell.

    If it’s at least 6th then they’re getting it wrong.

    Maybe we need to look at our pre-season - this Summer we had a post-season trip to Australia followed by a pre-season trip to the Far East. Maybe we need to change the focus from marketing the club overseas to honing fitness for the season.

    This I absolutely agree with. I hate the fact that we went half way around the world to play **** teams.

    The pre season was absolutely ****e.
