Haven't said I don't like him, probably a very nice chap just that there is a better suited player who somehow lost the position today to him.

No they're like mine are opinions. Statistics, hard evidence show a different story, just saying like. Assists, goals, wins against loses.

It's all how you play him. Last year, he was not played as a pseudo-winger, was part of a more traditional 4 across the back, and the team was one of the stingiest in the Championship.
Either the other three fellows were carrying Bruno, or he can play a little defense....

I primarily go along to watch the Albion to be entertained. I like players with flair and who show some audacity on the pitch. For this reason Bruno is my favourite player. He's been outstanding so far this season - rightly mom last week and involved in most our best moves today.
There's always someone on here or Twitter having a dig about Bruno and hey, it's all about opinions and yes our other RB is a hugely popular club favourite, but I really don't get it. For the first time in a year or more we're playing with abandon and a bit of verve. We've got a host of players comfortable on the ball and moving it around quickly; Bruno fits in perfectly. I'd imagine he's one of the first names on the team sheet at the moment.

Until he attempted to single handedly throw the game with his defending or rather lack of it in the 10 minutes
Calderon is better at it though, more goals, more assists, moves the ball quicker gets in better positions, oh f**k it I give up.
Bruno played very well today. The game situation did suit him though. We were chasing the draw for most of the ninety, so he had a lot of attacking to do instead of defending. His first touch and approach play is much better than most of our midfield TBH. His balls into the box are better than most (that we have) too.
You're wrong.
Apart from goals scored, Bruno has much better stats than Caldy - http://www.whoscored.com/Players/37448/Show/igo-Caldern
Bruno creates more chances, completes more crosses and passes. I agree Calderon is better defensively. But not offensively.
Since when?
Every stat I've seen supports what I'm saying. The link I posted is only for this season. I could find last season too, but that's effort
Stats are not everything though. They obviously don't take in consideration the players play-styles or commitment (this is where Calderon is much better).

I took the effort last year can't remember exactly but Calderon beat Bruno on every aspect especially goals scored and assists. This season Bruno has been in midfield mostly added to which what assists has he got Calderon certainly has one last Saturday

Missed Calde today and the overlapping from the previous game! I thought Bruno and calde had a good understanding!

Produces bits of brilliance but was far too casual today giving the ball away. Too unreliable to play the right back role .
Indeed we missed that today. Some might think I'm an idiot for my insistence about Bruno but he has played so much better in the middle and his link play with Calderon has worked well thus far. Calderon poses such a lot more of a threat.

I like Calde
BUT Bruno is simply a better football player.
I heard some people moaning about him today because halfway through the second half he was out of position and wasn't sprinting to get back.
They hadn't noticed that Gardner was covering for him. They also don't seem to understand that in Hyppias system the full backs get forward A LOT and the defensive midfielders are meant to track back (Holla and Gardner)
When it comes down to it, Bruno can pick a pass better than Calde.
Don't get me wrong, I'm just a football fan with an opinion. However one of these players has played five consecutive seasons in La Liga (over 150 appearances) and when fit has been one of the first names on the team sheet under three different Albion managers.... the other hasn't.

OK take your tongue in cheek quip,but do you really think that you are much more better than our last three managers.
I'm not saying I'm in any way as good as any of them. I'm just expressing an opinion. If we accepted that the manager always knows best there would be no point in NSC or any other football forum because most posts would then be no more than an endorsement of his views. We all have favourite and less liked players. The OP asked what posters' views were. I gave mine. End of.

I've said for a while RB is our weakest position, I love Calde but he is ageing a bit. Bruno can't defend to save his life but has started better this season than last, where defensively he was woeful. Both players clearly have a lot of passion for the club though, which I think at times clouds peoples judgement.
Those that love Bruno should concentrate on his defensive play for the whole game, he makes some shocking errors. He does have plus sides attacking (especially short passes) but crosses need to be more consistent.

Thought his crossing today was poor. Can't recall one cross that got passed the first defender.

Think if Calde was at right back, and Bruno was playing the Crofts position, that would have made a world of difference today...
