Very decent, I thought.
Liam Rosenior is going to have his work cut out earning a starting spot.

I agree. Think this highlights the fact our squad is getting better. Competition for places = better performances.

We needed a bearded player as well.

Ran his socks off last night as March didnt track back that well to cover him.

I'll be the first to admit that I've not really been a fan of Bruno's defensive work whilst he's been at the club (and only the defensive stuff, he's clearly bloody good) but he really was very good last night, some important tackles very well done.

Can we have a PC Beard style Bruno Beard song?
Beard, beard, Bruno beard
If he's not ball-stealing
He's probably backheeling
I've loved Bruno since his arrival. Other than Vicente the best touch of any player we've had at the Amex (I have a not great memory but no one else springs to mind with that level of delicacy and perfectly weighted pass).

Like Calde and Orlandi he really seems to 'get' the Albion and enjoys being part of it all.
This. Had the hardest job on the pitch and did it very well. The whole defence struggled in the air but our full backs did just about enough.
No one is going to walk into the right back spot this season.

Bruno looked very good and dictated play on the right. Rosenior looked pretty useful when he replaced Kaz on the left so I would imagine he will be utilised around the pitch, and will be great cover for Bruno and Bong when they get injured or need resting. Good to see decent competition in squad.

Yes the whole defence struggled in the air, but so will many defences against Forest this season, they are a big, strong, and physical side.
I feel sure Rosenior will find a way into the team, even if it isn't at Bruno's expense, He can play anywhere across the back four remember.
I imagine over time Rosenior will get the role permanently. I can't see Bruno playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday....
Bruno was good last night, going forwards has to be one of the best in the championship. I still consider Rosenior a better player particularly defensively.

If we had a more experienced and Albionised right winger Hughton probably would have gone with LR.
But with a must have new partnership on the left, it'll be a pretty big gamble to start with the same on the right esp on that included Solly.
Bruno did well, he even managed a second half, half arsed, effeminate flick, that completely missed the ball.
Everything back to normal.

It's not a criticism of Bruno, who I have always thought shows some real class and flair and has been a pleasure to watch. However I do think he is the campest player I can remember seeing in the stripes

Can see Rosenior, initially at least, being a starter away from home in place of one of the wingers and more often a sub at home
I have been a Bruno fan from the word go, though like all players he has his off days. His vast experience helps him enormously.
Last night I thought in the first half he was our best player and given that effectively he was also covering March, who started very slowly, he really was outstanding. However, the thing that is going to catch Bruno up this season and is that he tires at about 70 mins, and that is why at the very least we need Rosenoir or Calderon on the bench.
Hope he can keep going for as long as possible.

Always been a fan of his, delighted to see his performance putting two up to those who criticised the move to extend his contract (could say the same for Greer last night). Of course, one swallow doesn't make a summer and I do expect Rosenior will get a run of games but I'm delighted to see the depth in quality we have.
