I've deliberately kept quiet about Saturday, because I was so ****ing angry and upset by the team selection, formation and tactics. This line up has litterally taken my breath away, I'm absolutely stotting mad!!!!!!!!!! £8.5m Striker sat on his arse, instead of gaining valuable experience with his new team mates. Frankly, I'm staggered by this.......
Should have had Bramble, Vaughan, Gardner, Westwood (possibly Laing), Wickham and Dong. Shocking team selection.
FFS lads we have not kicked a ball yet. Have any of you done any intensive research on how Brighton play?? Have any of you thought maybe he has dropped the 3 strikers because none of them turned up at the weekend. Let's see what happens. If we lose I might join the Bruce out brigade but if we win well then Bruce knows a hell of a lot more than the rest of us.
Well, that says it all for me, IF that team is correct, then it shows he simply does not know how to go out and try for a win. Is this how we'll turn out when we're at home against the teams that will be hovering around the relegation zone? He's too scared of getting beat, than trying to get the win. ****ing useless.
Bruce is either very thick or very clever, we will have more idea in 90 minutes so keep the powder dry in Coxhoe, mut admit mind I never saw this coming
Until about 10 minutes ago I've always been a Bruce supporter.. I can see what you're saying but if that's true and all our strikers have been pants in training, then what the hell is he banging on about being happy with the squad in the press for? If we have no out-and-out strikers whatsoever (zero, zip, nil) who he feels is even good enough to start against championship opposition? Worrying times indeed. EDIT: Just realised what a massive understatement "worrying" is. I'm ****ing distraught.
ha'way mate wickham and ji only got 10 mins i dont think any manager should send a team out with no strikers its just crazy!! i hope we win but he isnt giving us a good chance tho!
Agreed at the weekend that the derby wasn't a big deal. The derby's hard to judge. Not starting with a forward against a team in the division below us, regardless of how they play is disgraceful. Reckon SAF would drop Rooney, Welbeck and Hernandez is Man United draw them, should they knock us out?
Just heard the team on the radio Richardson at LB says it all for me SB doesn't learn from his mistakes, then I hear we have no strikers on the pitch but 3 on the bench can anyone with any sense convince me that is sane? Elmo at RB is no surprise a non tackling supposed winger in defence, what I am surprised at is a goalie in goal thought we would have put Larsson in sticks just to try him out. This is the ideal game to play Gyan with one of the big lads give them a half each or the full 90, we need these players now not in a year or so. If we win this I'll be surprised, I thought SB would field a weakened team but not that bad.
Benno saying we are hoofing it up to Sess, for ****s sake. Benno not happy with the formation either.
I don't get the lineup. On the BBC Sport website I can count 3 defenders and 7 midfielders. I presume someone is playing out of position but that still doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone put the players in a formation-porn style diagram so I can understand?
