    It can tell you a lot.

    Our players just seem not to care anymore.

    I noticed this at the Norwich friendly and for the wet spam game too.

    same today.

    we are a ghost ship sailing into the abyss.

    Possibly an explanation.

    Another explanation could be that we have not improved the team or squad since last season. If anything it’s weaker.

    The competition for places therefore becomes negligible.

    I do think if we got a midfielder who had an engine and is creative then things change. And this 5 at the back crap with defensive midfielders doesn’t work.

    We ship goals with it.

    But it shows how spineless our players are.

    Surely they can see how it was under former managers and how it's now. If Bruce and team aren't getting their fitness levels up to scratch then the ****ers should be doing that themselves.

    I hate Bruce but ou these players are just as ****y. Happy to pick up a pay packet. All they have to do is respond to tweets and act friendly and they're worshipped.

    I reckon we just try to pin it all on the manager. Let the players get a free ride...

    Calm down dear, we've been in both games against top half teams. Its not quite as dramatic as some are making out. Our fans largely belong on stage, such is their propensity to make it a big drama by jumping straight off the nearest cliff at the first sign of adversity.

    However we've come out the wrong side and its worrying how disorganised we've looked, and how poor out fitness has been. It suggests the work by the manager, coaches, fitness staff etc has not been up to scratch. Work to do, must improve but I'd still like a change of manager, someone more modern. Potter...

    Both are viable options. Leeds amongst many other have proved that theory conclusively. You need to dispense with this Rafa bollocks, you've already been proved wrong.

    Under this manager we seem to be achieving neither again.

    Leeds are one example of several.. Norwich, Bournemouth being others.

    I personally don't like getting hammered.

    All we needed was two or 3 cms and that's been the case for years
