    Steve Bruce says that he is out for season. Shame I thought he has done well for us in defence

    But to be fair, you can't predict this. 5 good cb's should be enough!

    If you play three at the back, then five isn't actually that many.

    Bruce has been good at centre back, almost as good as Cooper. :bandit:

    He'll look like his Dad next time we see him.

    He took a hefty bash to the conk today, probably all squashed and spread out now.

    Have to go 4 at the back if he's out, which isn't too much of a problem because Rosie's a very good right back and it means Elmo doesn't have to defend. Gives us an issue on the left but Brady and Quinn are more than capable down there.

    The way the team lines up is actually very similar. If Brady wants to go flying up the left Rosey can easily tuck in to make it a back 3 if necessary.

    With only two fit centre backs, it looks like we'll be playing 4-4-2 until Hobbs returns from injury. The question is, will Bruce pick Rosenior or Fathi to play at right back?

    Fathi can play as the left centre back. So it could be...

    Chester Faye Fathi

    Think we looked much better with 4-4-2 / 4-5-1 today anyway as Elmo was pretty **** before Rosie came on, shame about Bruce but we can survive. Could do with Dudgeon on the left but Brady has looked very good defensively recently.

    A big thanks to Alex Bruce for all of his efforts this season. He was up against it from the start with many of our own fans not willing to give him a chance, but he has played his arse off and with more passion than other more favoured players.
    Bruce has played his part (wherever he has been told to play) and if we go up his contribution deserves to be recognised as much as anyone elses.

    Shame for Bruce, he has made his mark this year and played as well as he has ever done for us, earnt his wages for sure. Shame on anybody celebrating like this was good news, he's not the best but our players deserve a bit more respect.

    It doesn't matter if you like a player or not the important issue here is that we don't want any more injuries because we have enough at this moment in time. Everyone has played there part and we need as many as possible available for the last five games. Anyone who comes on here and says i am glad this player is injured or we wont miss this one is an idiot

    He'll be fine - he's just like his mother, you know!

    Bit of a shame, he's done pretty well - those Leeds fans saying he was utter **** when he came in....<laugh>

    Anyone know what Mrs Bruce Senior looks like cos according to Steve Alex is "tough" like his mother amongst other things, seems to get all his qualities from his mother.
