Think Steve Bruce should sign the lad from Brentford jota. Looks like the kind of flair player that we are crying out for. John ruddy would be a good addition to the squad aswell.

If he just got players closer to hogan instead of 50 foot away lumping the ball to him. Hourihane and Lansbury have gone from the most dynamic, attacking mids in the league to boring, abject of ideas, good ball tactics. Grealish is played on the left hugging the touch line when he has the pace of a snail, and when he does get the ball in the middle, we are that deep in our own half he's got to try and carry it half the length of the pitch to get into a position to do anything. Hogan doesn't need a strike partner, he didn't have one at Brentford, what he did have was 2 or 3 players around him, buzzing off him.

Chris can i ask you 2 questions?

1. Is Steve Bruce getting the best out of his players?

2. How do you rate Steve Bruce's tactics?

1. No and 2. 3 - effective against better teams like when we beat Derby and Sheffield Wednesday, awful every other time.

I only ask because I don't know if its just me but players seem to be playing out of position eg Lansbury is to deep to effect the game Grealish isn't a winger. Tactics Bruce doesn't seem to have a style of play his been here long enough brought a lot of players in most can't even make the team looking at both our points of view it doesn't look good for a team that's suppose to go straight up next season does it? Oh well let's enjoy our free beer today!

Think hourihanes the best example for me, the most inform midfielder playing attacking midfield, he comes here and we play him as a restricted centre mid. Just strange decisions all over the pitch.

The team always seem to be playing in the defensive style to try and avoid conceding. Is this what SB wants?
Clubs lower in the league plas on the front foot going forward and this is where Hourihane and Lansbury should be playing.
I don't think SB trusts the defence.

I like all of us wait to see what happens when the window opens as I don't think promotion will be a cert with what we have got.
Hogan, poor sod, needs the ball to score but the tactics look like he makes the numbers up.

August is 3 months away and SB has a huge amount of work to do.
This ain't negative it's 100% positive!
