    We could do with some of that. Not only could he tackle, (He was the best tackler we've had in the last ten years), he was brave, he'd put his head and his heart in there. That's something we sorely lack.

    Edit: Chester was the best tackler we had in the last ten years.

    now you're being daft - yes he would fly in and yes it was quite funny to see him chop down Costa but most times his lunges would miss the target or give away a needless foul - Macca was just the same but he could run with the ball as well, pity he was a bit careless but certainly he put his head and his heart into everything - a tackle is taking the ball off someone not just lunging in - James Chester was as good at stopping a player running at him as I've seen at City but others were good too - where I do agree with you is that we sorely lack a player who gets stuck in or someone who can tackle someone and there lies the problem

    I thought Ashbee was better at the no-nonsense approach myself. Turner was also better at it, but that's just my opinion.

    It felt like he had to give everything because he couldn't really do much else. When he first came he was apparently puking at half time, I'm not sure his head was all there.

    The puking was just reflux, much the same as Stuart Elliott.
    Bloody hell, are we talking actual football

    I still have the belief that if he had stayed on we would have seen it out at least to penalties.

    Allam could have designed the question and answers of this poll himself.

    That game we won against Liverpool that was 3-1 if I remember rightly was another brilliant game for Bruce, was a great pleasure to see Suarez struggle all game and being stuck in Bruce's pocket! Was it also that game or against Man Utd when he went through 3 players in quick succession with sliding tackles? Delightful stuff and got the whole crowd going

    You can hear Neville in the background saying 'Two great challenges from Alex Bruce'. He's not wrong.

    This is exactly what our defence is missing. No ****ing about, just remove the danger.

    as been discussed he's not john terry or rio but at least him and dawson could organise things. i bet we wouldnt have conceded as many goals from crosses to un-marked players as we have
