    All sounds familiar. They have a manager who isn't a fat knacker though

    Tbh we've not lost to anyone we should've beaten.

    All the sides finished ahead of us last season

    Villa was maybe the one but it was away from home .

    Should be an interesting game v Leeds. We haven't got a goalscorer, whilst they are struggling for CB's. This is a game I would give Gayle a chance as Joelinton is not a CF. Bruce said he is best played out wide so why play him through the middle?. Had a good laugh at Bruce's interview after Man Un. One of his excuses was he'd had 6 players away on international duty which had interrupted training, funny that as he never picked any for the actual match. Obviously his golfing trip didn't help either.

    Play him as Captain and he'll get 2 for you.

    Wilson possibly out for 6 weeks and not back until after the next international break... Could be to far gone by then.

    Bruce needs to change something - no good playing 5 at the back if we aren't solid defensively and keeping goals out - at an average of 3 conceded a game it's not worth persisting with hoping to nick a win by a goal here and there if we need to score 4 to "nick" it.

    The only positives I can find is Leeds will play their game regardless of how ****e we are and there are opportunities to expose them on the counter. If we can find a way to stop them scoring we'll be in with a chance but I doubt Bruce has a clue how to do that.

    I'd put Darlow back in - people saying Freddie is young and the rest - you're right but we need a keeper who's experienced atm - much like the Dubravka coming in for Darlow last season despite Darlow playing well generally, Dubz came in and gave us another level - Darlow will improve us over Woodman just due to experience.

    Lacelles and Hayden bring dropped in the solution, but he won't do it.

    I think we can beat Leeds though... They did great last season, but they've not started much better than us.

    All the fixtures are hard.

    Wow 1 point.

    We can jump right out the **** on Friday and have another winnable have to look fwd to.

    I'm looking fwd to Leeds a good seat and it's an attacking team vs a counter attacking team.. It's going to be end to end.

    Let's get begind the team that's the idea isn't it? No point in moaning about Bruce.

    Just enjoy it
