Bruno

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I am a big Bruno fan, class player

I'm pleased for you

 

[Beach Hut]

Watch the highlights on sky.

I have and still think about the most dumbest challenge I have seen at the Amex

Watch the highlights on sky.

I've seen it, nailed on penalty

He has to be one of the best right backs we have ever had. I don't get the amount of moaning about him. You would probably have to go back to the early 80s to find a better right back!

He had a shocker today... Don't think it's constant moaning ?

 

[Rookie]

Really like Bruno, but I'm sure he would admit he was pretty dreadful in the first half. Improved in the 2nd but no where near as good as he can be.

And as we have been playing in the lower leagues for the majority of the time since the 80's there's not much to compare. And I 100% disagree with you.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

People have moaned about Bruno since the day he arrived. You just can not satisfy some people it seems.

Perhaps because they can see what's in front of them.

Liability. Unreliable. Squad player at best

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'm a lifelong Brunoholic, and that love of his shiny-scalped flair won't wilt thanks to the odd mistaken lunge. not sure his legs will carry him through another season as first pick, but for now I'll be a fan and thankful for the control he has on the ball and weight of a pass none in the rest of our squad are capable of. Calde and he could remain as decent squad players whilst a leaner and more nimble rightback is purchased for the future. I'd be pleased if that were so. Two good huevos.

Definite penalty (he knew it too if you watched his pitch-thumping reaction). One of our poorest players today - so many stray passes.

You mean the one that drifts off slowly across the line for a throw. If so, I've witnessed it too and too often.

 

[BensGrandad]

Far far better than Calderon who in the first half was gash and lucky to come out for the 2nd half.

 

[drew]

Very soft penalty thought the fella mugged the ref IMO.

You're the first, and still, the only person who seems to think that!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

That is fine. But I find it astounding really. He has been part of one of the best defences in the Championship over the last two seasons. A defence that good does not have a liability in it. Just out of interest, who out of all the right backs in the last 20 odd years would you have over him? (I will arguably give you Calderon).

He may have been part of it but as you allude to Calderon has been far better, more wins more assists more goals.

In the last 20 years, yes Calderon and Bruno are most likely to have been the best but that is up against some very poor squads(mostly lower league). Our squad apart from forwards is considerably better than what has gone on in the last 20 years.


In all honesty he and Calderon are now liabilities. Problem as I see it is apart from Duck all of defence is now worryingly poor.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

A liabilty....and we give him another year. Never EVER liked Bruno. Bottle job, liability, always out of position, stupid sendings off (wolves a most recent) and gives away easy goals or penalties.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Far far better than Calderon who in the first half was gash and lucky to come out for the 2nd half.

You are mad, your sons agree.

 

[catfish]

He has his faults but I'm glad we've got one player who's a maverick and has the cojones to try the occasional outrageous bit of skill (which often comes off).

 

[Camicus]

Bruno=Flair nuff said. Better defender than any poster on NSC and they should stop bitching about the fella until they can play better

 

[Sheebo]

As per other thread - poor first half and great second half. The ball in for the 3rd was brilliant and he won the ball in a 50/50 to set the whole thing up..

 

[APACHE]

Every home game ,when Bruno starts, we say at the start ' how long today before he makes a major cock-up' and I'm sorry to say that he don't usually disappoint us. The club spent a long time chasing that Irish fullback for a reason and we still need to sort out that position and the right side of the middle of the defence, both Bruno and Greer are at the end of their careers at this level. Both too slow and prone to mistakes.
