Given yesterday's starting formation was 3-4-3 it was screaming out for TGH to start as opposed to coming on as a late appeasement sub.

That or starting Wallace and Diangana in place of Phillips and Townsend with a front two of Thomas-Asante and Grant with Swift behind them and progressing play through the middle in a 3-4-1-2.

Dropping into a 5-4-1 and smashing balls over the top for an isolated Thomas-Asante to chase down was the height of negative defensive none necessity.

Totally agree about TGH he is a far better wing back than a traditional right back, Phillips gradually got deeper and deeper as the game went on, it also doesn't help that we had to defend a lot deeper with Kelly and Peters in the back 5 due to their lack of pace we effectively played with a back 7 for most of the game, i would prefer a front 2 and 3 in midfield but that would mean Diangana wouldn't get a game, we have to find a system that makes us more solid at the back but gives us more attacking options than Saturday and to be fair with the squad of players we have that isn't easy.

Couldn't agree more 68! The confidence of TGH most be ripped to shreds with this clown at the helm! Almost every one of the die hard supporters were chanting for Bruce to go immediately at Preston and anyone wanting him to stay for a second is deluded. A Caretaker would be better than Bruce to lift the team and fans!

Never seen our club go backwards as much as it has under this clown! Bruce and Son will be laughing to the Bank - yet again!!

Can’t think of a single positive to say about Bruce - not one!!

Well you got your wish mate he has gone. A lot of the West Brom supporters doubted us and said he was a decent appointment

Anyway best of luck with the rest of your season would love to see you all back in the Premiership as your top supporters.

Good to see your lot thriving again.

I’m an old man of 61, the last time you won anything I was still feeding off the teat.

Fingers crossed but can’t see us being there anytime soon. Glad Newcastle are doing well as your city and supporters are class!

They won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2006 Mick, are you a late developer or have you got some kind of a fetish thing going on 😊 ?

That doesn’t count.

When they won the old Fairs Cup ( EUFA Cup ) it was 67 and mum was still sticking her t I t through the school railings to save on dinner money.
