It really is encouraging the depth we have in reserve for places in MF. Bruce's two year infatuation with a sluggish Huddlestone gummed up the effective functioning of what should be the engine of any successful team and cost us dearly, along with his often incomprehensible defensive tactics in the late stages of games we should have won, and ultimately brought relegation to a team which should have easily survived in the top flight. I sincerely hope that another team will come in for Huddlestone in the window so Bruce will no longer be tempted to use him in MF instead of more effective contributors.

I was thinking of Sheffield Wed and your 4-3-2-1 that you wanted Bruce to play (I was being kind and not highlighting your call for Abel as a lone striker ). That was a great call Bruce took your advice, didn't he
It was by far his best performance for us, he seems to be growing in confidence and showing more of an attacking threat as a consequence.
Spot on....the people who decided £50 a month by direct debit was too expensive for their passes, ain't gonna rock up and hand over £36 to get in against boro, ten quid for a pint and a manky pie. Once our glorious business savvy owners had set the season ticket prices so high, they had no option but to price the match day prices ridiculously high too.
You are desperate arent you blimpy. That was the team that Bruce did play. I've never been an advocate of a lone striker but away from home i can see why managers do it. This is so difficult to explain to someone who never goes to games but is an expert on the internet.
If only they'd promised everyone free season passes eh? 2nd. Won. Another clean sheet. Barely any clubs actually fill their grounds. Every cloud though eh? Yeah, it'll piss rain on you.
Barely any clubs treat their fans so appallingly either. 1st in the most expensive season ticket league. You missed that stat in your list. The sun is shining off to do 28 miles hornsea track and back. Hopefully avoid Happy's clouds.
Blimpy, desperate? Talk football, Chazz, leave out the personal stuff. It was your chosen team. Why would it ever be right to play Hernandez as a lone striker? Are you stalking me? How do you know I never go to games? Of course you're not stalking me, or you're doing it very badly. It's a football forum, Chazz, football is discussed on here, many who do so who don't attend the game, change your tune, you're getting boring now. I won't ask for the Match Reports you wrongly claimed you do, I'll ignore the Match Day thread opening post that you won't let others do, but do so badly yourself, crack on and enjoy your football, as I enjoy mine.
Very true...... A great initiative up at middlesbrough is buy a season ticket and get a free pint at EVERY home game.........

You always come back with this leave out the personal stuff yet you start it. I picked the team that i thought SB would play, is that too difficult to grasp? It was the same team, I think, as the previous game. You dont go to games. I think we are defensively weak with these two playing as full-backs , although they may improve. Edit: Ryan Taylor would be preferred as a RB Subs: Taylor (excellent Uility player), Arf
