Beale and Bartley

He was pretty reliable under Allardyce. As was Okay. Both were poor under Bruce…but how many players have been good under Bruce?

New manager, fresh start for all players…except Zohore, he really is sh*te.

Some players are unfortunate in that they have a face you just want to punch for absolutely no good reason at all.

Bartley falls into this category for me and so does Townsend........I think it’s the latter guys squashed head and ears that annoy me!

Irrational I know but a massive factor for me!
