Not really cos 2 of em will play. Fulham have no players, they’re fielding kids. Another win, beating the points tally of the mighty Rafa and finishing higher too, with defeats for Wolves, Southampton and Palace.

I just can't see how a team like ours will cope with the drop off in quality if Max, Wilson, Dubravka AND Willock are missing. Regardless of Bruce, we just don't have the depth of quality. When you add in Schar, Hayden, Lascelles, Darlow, Fraser, You'd see the likes of: Gillespie, Fernandez, Kraft, Dummett, Murphy, Ritchie, Shelvey, Almiron, Longstaff, Joelinton, Gayle That looks like a championship side. Schar, Dubravka, ASM, Wilson, Willock. You take 5 of the better players out of any PL side they will struggle regardless of the manager. Right through the spine of the team too. Pressure off for all, I think we will lose 3-1. If the likes of Max, Willock and Dubravka manage to shake off their injuries for a last hurrah, then I could see us turning them over.
Think Willock will be ok (hopefully) - doubt he would have been on the "lap of honour" after the game if he was properly crocked, looked more like cramp
He’s had a lot cramp - **** fitness and training, most likely. Plus the constant sprint forward, sprint back is such a ****, unsustainable method. Did I mention I hate Bruce?
Off out getting smashed when this is on, may be able to tune into a bit. Looks like half the team got crocked vs Sheff Utd, so won't be as easy as it should be. ASM must be very unlikely, and Dubs too.... Team without them should still be decent, I'll go with a 1-1.
Yes... Read Bielsas comments about Leeds today... Thats the issues I believe... Bielsa doesn't piss all over the badge like Bruce.. Bruce's opinion on nufc is small and it seeps out... I think things have improved on the pitch though.
Bruce thinks being sad and pathetic is the same as humility. Football is about confidence and he talks stuff down too much to protect his own neck rather than being bold and proud. He’s a ****ehawk ultimately, he stole a living as a player (one cap, did ye say?) and is unfathomably still stealing a living as a “manager”. I’d have infinitely more respect if he was bullish for the right reasons and sounded like the “one of us” he’s supposed to be. He’s an apologist and just a bit of a wet fish.
