Watching tonight's game and it shows our second string just aren't good enough. 'The kids' have done nothing. Tuanzebe looks awful. Really not sure I would trust Bruce to sign anymore players on loan or permanent. Really disappointed tonight.

Tuanzebe was probably our best player, he was let down by Elphick. Rushian was isolated, you need to play inexperienced youngsters in a 2 as their hold up play is never going to be top notch but he should have done better with his chance.
Doyle-hayes was the big disappointment for me along with Hourihane (regardless of his goal) .
Albert showed his lack of pace again.

You can't judge youngsters by 1 game that's stupid, look at harry kane 4yrs ago at leicter on loan was ok now look at him, you have to blood them an nurture them not say not good enough after 1 game, how they post to get better when manager hardly plays them, n its games like that that will make them better its alearning process.

my thoughts on the game yesterday
The youngsters are not ready and should be used sparingly. Elphick is an accident waiting to happen, the keeper would frighten me to death. Albert looks as though his best days are behind him. Tuanzebe was better at centre back than right back, and his pace was crucial. Taylor should be understudy to a no1 LB. Hourihane needs to be much stronger physically. Kodjia was better let's hope he continues to improve.

My point with doyle-hayes was that he was misplacing simple passes by five yards. Kane was loaned out multiple times and only got his chance at Spurs due to their other strikers at the time being useless.
We have an abundance of midfielders at the moment and can't afford anyone taking 10+ games to find their feet so maybe a season out on loan would be good for him.

Christ our new Spanish keeper looks crap!
Another uninspired 45 minutes.

15 Aug 2018 17:47:33
How many did he let in remind me please, did he save a penalty too?

15 Aug 2018 19:26:14
Avillafan did you watch the game?

Every time he came for a cross he was insecure, he had no authority in and around the box and his distribution was piss poor against a half decent side would of conceded at least 2. The fact that your ridiculous how many did he concede comment relates to a league 2 side that can’t finish.

Hope too see sum of our youngsters 2night, i would rest 1st team players apart from kodja, hopefully we will blood them step by step, tbf i'm not botherd bout any of cups its not like we are going to win the league is 1 st for me.

Still got this feeling that bruce wants Sam Gallagher,

14 Aug 2018 16:13:50
I've heard Shane Long, an ex Bruce player too

Like Shane Long, but why are we not getting younger players?
We will not progress till we get new thinking about style etc.
Leeds have their new coach and are looking vg and are now favourites to top the table.
We continue to look pedestrian while others are looking at pace.
Seems we still have the attitude, "if you can't score we can't lose" which is ancient football.
Let's play, to score first, and keep going forward till we score a second. The only time we did this last season we scored 4 against the team that won the league.
Come on Bruce, give the supporters what they want, give us a Brucie bonus, PLEASE!

14 Aug 2018 17:40:22
He won't do it mate bielsa worldclass, its not in bruces dna this why we won't get top 2, we need pace its the way forward look at lpool bags of pace ncity but they play a passing game, we need to play like we did under oneil, that team had pace to burn to good wingers good cm s, and good strikers.

14 Aug 2018 17:53:36
Premier and Championship are worlds apart in how you win or do well in them, Cardiff didn't play passing 'sexy' football and got up automatic? Granted we are ain't pretty to watch sometimes but 6 points out of 6 so far playing like that is a step in the right direction compared to previous seasons. Get the right loan players in regardless of age, as long as they improve us that's all that matters. The age thing is only an issue if we buy them.

Did not welbeck play under bruce at Sunderland!

14 Aug 2018 13:21:02
Can't see it, he would be on massive wages, that being said he would get 15-20 goals easily in the Championship. He's 27 so maybe a bit old for our new regime?

14 Aug 2018 17:31:15
Old, old, most of the team are on pension.
I want young blood. 27 ain't too bad.
