If he checked out his family tree I’m sure Easter Island would crop up.

‘Look,hey,I thought we were unlucky to lose to Southampton.I think this break will do us good.Look,hey,Lee is working flat out to bring in one or two loan players who cannot get a regular game at their clubs,but we’re only going to bring players in who can improve the decent,balanced squad we have here.Look,hey,if we keep our big players fit,we’ll be ok.Luck is against us at the moment and Covid has done us no favours’.

Earning his reported £200k annual salary when the pressure is on.

Time to roll wah sleeves up again.Gayle again proving he’s not the answer up front,either with BUJ7 or Wilson.An early 6 pointer coming up then a 4 or 5 ‘nowter’ against Man Utd.

So we’re playing Rochdale in the next round.

Lose to Southampton then nee game for a couple of weeks so plenty time to bring in a proper manager,as in a manager who has a bit football knowledge.

I remember when players made themselves big in an attempt to make the target smaller.It was classed as giving it your all for the team.If ‘every’ team does it,it doesn’t detract from my cowardice accusations towards some of our players.Shar showed no interest in making himself bigger,therefore didn’t give it his all in attempting to stop a goal.Shelvey not running around is Shelvey not doing his best intentionally.Lewis allowing the ball to come in from the wing by turning his back is another example.Not giving 100% is resulting in goals conceded and games being lost.They’re not simple errors from poor players,they’re deliberate actions from poor players.Cowardice is a contributory factor as to why we’re shit in most games.Yes,Brucey is tactically useless,and his team selections can be baffling,but if every player gave 100%,this discussion wouldn’t be necessary.As no one else highlights the cowardice,I can only assume that everyone is happy with the way we concede goals,regarding players turning their backs,or getting out the way of shots,as in ‘they all do it so just accept it’.

Aye,because I never comment on our disorganised defence our inert midfield .Players such as TOT,Krafth,Lewis,Shelvey,Almiron,Sean Longstaff and ASM get regular stick from me.I DO see players from other teams turn their backs,and also intentionally get out the way of shots,but that is of little interest to me.We are conceding goals due to this form of cowardice.It seems at every opportunity we do it,sometimes goals are conceded,sometimes not.Shar could possibly have blocked the shot,but no,he showed no interest in it,so in we went 1 v 0 down.These aren’t mistakes,these actions are intentional ‘ I couldn’t give a fuck’ springs to mind .Schar wouldn’t have gone into the dressing room at half time dejected.He didn’t give a fuck when Ings decided to try the overhead kick.Getting hit with the ball wasn’t going to happen to Schar,no way,it may have hurt.Too many cowards in defence.

Because we have players who do it regularly.I’ll give you a chance to highlight it the next time it happens.

Players turning their back whilst getting out the way of shots probably caught him by surprise.

We’re a poor team with poor players making up the squad.Not a decent,but a very balanced squad.Very little fight was shown when the going got tough against both West Ham and Villa.Nee points against Southampton and Man Utd could see us rock bottom and I wouldn’t be putting money on our shirkers and cowards to get us out the shite.Brucey could further endanger our survival by bringing back the cowardly Lewis at left back.

I’ve just watched the goals again.Villa were awarded a throw-in due to a sliced clearance from TOT.The balding right back commits a foul throw.His left foot is over the line.Schar not only turns his back,he also moves out of the way.The static Willock,with hands on his hips,keeps this pose from the time of the penalty taker running up,until the player runs off to celebrate.I don’t suppose he felt any hurt at the final whistle,and he won’t be the only one.At least we only had one player not giving a fuck while this pen was being taken.

‘This decent,we’ll balanced squad,finished 12th last season.We’ll be eh-o keh-ee ‘

Read my post again.Apology accepted in advance.

‘He hasn’t had a pre-season’ is a favourite quote of Brucey’s.I would imagine this will be directed at Willock if he goes through a lean spell ( 1 goal in 40 games for Arsenal ) .With our lack of creativity in the team,he’s going to have to create his goals by himself,if we continue to tire/look disinterested in the second half of games.

As was an Arsenal player.Were they injured or ‘injured’.Probably the latter.

Wow.You don’t look it mate.

See,unrealistic expectations 😉

Less than one.

You’re probably right.I’d prefer Wilson in that situation than anyone else we have.

I wouldn’t have a problem if we signed Ashley Barnes,the ex-Austrian youth international from Burnley.He looked a handful against van Dyke yesterday.

I’m surprised we still have Wilson.If Kane goes to Man City I’m sure Wilson would interest them.

Spot on,and our captain and leader was back today .

If we finished every season in 17th position,Brucey would still get nothing but praise from his pals in the media.The thing is,with him in charge I think most of us accept 17th position as success.That’s how pathetic the situation is.

Nor me. Almiron averages a goal every 10 games and I would imagine his assist record is worse.
