cos SB is a defender, he doesnt know much about a strikers role.

you think that any manager will want them after their latest displays?

Surely that's what an attacking coach is for? We've already proved we can play attacking football (Last part of the game against Fulham and last 10 minutes today) It shouldn't take a goal against us for us to do it, that has to be the tactics Bruce is employing!

I'm not that annoyed about the result; more annoyed at the manner in which we played. We were utter ****e for the majority of the game and big players like Elmo, Jelavic, Huddlestone and Meyler didn't perform. Although, I will say Huddlestone played better than the other three mentioned, not brilliant, but not terrible. Robertson's crossing was absolutely shocking once again. He won't be the great player everyone makes him out to be if he doesn't improve drastically. Aluko, despite losing the ball a couple of times and misplacing a few passes, was the best attacking threat we had until Hernandez came on. Dawson and Davies were a little shaky today as well but nowhere near as bad as the others.

Huddlestone gave the ball away a fair bit and Davies was definitely shaky.
 
It wasn't the best performance but we'll get better. We stay 4th - well up there. As frustrating as that was to watch, last quarter of the game was so much better with the subs we made.

The subs were made way too late, they should have been made before their first goal. If we just play for a quarter of every match we play we will not win enough to get anywhere near promotion.

Bollocks Hudd was ****ing **** and rightly subbed
 
What a shocker that was. Terrible for 82 minutes. Second to every ball, they looked fitter and like they wanted it more. They must be the worst team we've lost to in a long time. Huddlestone and Jelavic ought to be ashamed of themselves, I hope the pair of them leave this window. How on Earth Jela stayed on the pitch and Akpom went off I'll never know. Davies was shambolic, and the full backs constantly out of position. Hernandez and Hayden were the two best players when they came on, with Aluko the only other positive. Late goal against Fulham papered over the cracks, we look poor.
 
Disjointed. Uninspired. Directionless. Lacklustre. Sloppy. Aimless. Tepid. Clueless.

Our crossing, passing and decision making in the final third was criminal today.

Incredible to think that we almost stole a point, but **** all is what we deserved and that is unfortunately what we got.

The inconsistency is worrying. We looked excellent at times against Fulham, then 3 days later we turn in a performance like this.
