What yogi & not_cricket said - After 25 minutes were you saying "Bruce has got the tactics wrong"? Probably not - he got it exactly right as we were all over them and, with a poacher style finisher in the box probably could have made up for the 5-1 drubbing last year - but the chances went begging because Gyan wasn;'t that sort of player. We missed the Bent style player on Saturday.
Totally agree mate with a Defoe/Bent style player on Saturday I very much doubt we'd be having this discussion about tactics being poor. However saying that whose responsibility is it to replace Bent? Nevertheless Ive heard people saying we should have changed it at half time (why when we were playing so well?!) then some say he acted too quickly, some saying he left it too late which you can understand as everyones got their own opinion and thinks they know best however i just feel the PLAYERS should be taking their fair share of the flack for the defeat as it appears Bruce is the only one responsible by the sounds of things.
