You're crazy. We are not that fragile anymore.

Not really, SGC. He is a highly paid professional and as such we are entitled to ask for more and expect better.

The lack of cohesion, in my opinion, is down to our ineffective midfield. Buy a couple of decent midfielders and that will make a big difference.

He needs his own ass torn for putting out that starting line up.

I have to disagree. I think if he had started with McCormack and Adomah it would have made a big difference. Also Bacuna every time over Westwood.

What's this guy Calderwood doing - we've been rubbish since he arrived.

Completely inconspicuous and ineffective as usual. But I probably don't know enough about football to appreciate his finer points.

What is he trying to prove with this Agbonlahor thing?

We have the forwards, but do not have a midfielder worthy of the name.

Adomah and McCormack should have been on from the start.

I think we are entitled to criticise a shocking performance. What on earth has the last 6 years got to do with it?

I don't know if it is luck or judgement, but Bruce is winning games one way or another. I would love free-flowing football, but if we play poorly and scrape wins, I will take that. Anything to get out of this league.

It is all opinion, of course, Dr, but I thought he was considerably better than Gardner and Westwood.

I was not commenting on their effectiveness, only suggesting that many other teams would jump at the chance to have them, no matter how we may feel about their performances.

I wonder if we will squeeze in a couple of midfielders before the AFCON starts on 14 January.

We will be ok. Most teams in the Championship would bite your arm off for McCormack, Grealish and Gestede.

I would prefer a few more in the `effective' Kodjia/Adomah mould than the Ayew mould.

We're doooomed. Doooomed.

It's a damn sight more than what we have.

He is going nowhere, I can assure you. He has already had the opportunity and turned it down. He will ease through the remainder of his contract and then will probably retire.

Injured, possibly?

I thought we were actually the better side untill they scored very much against the run of play. Bruce has done this several times now - throwing on all the attackers, something we have criticised other managers for doing. It has worked a couple of times, but not this time. The subs should have come on earlier, and should have been the personnel to retain a structure and exercise a degree of control, rather than lumping the ball forward and then frantically chasing it. We lost all shape at that stage. A couple of points: Why take off Adomah, our best player in my opinion. Gestede should not start. Our midfield is ineffective. Hutton is a grafter, but not good enough.

Well, I'll agree with TRO. I love Amavi, but Sako definitely got the better of him most of the game.

I am still finding it difficult to be confident about getting results anywhere, but each succeeding game tells us more about our team's capabilities. This will be a tough test. To get anything will be good.

Oh dear. That casts a different light on it. Still - records are made to be broken.
