Oscar and Bruno

[Albion Dan]

Are they shagging? First a player who was horrific at rm gets to have another go (and is utter toilet again), but then even worse one of our players of the season gets dropped to allow him to remain on the field at rb. Ok if Calde was injured (I dont know) but it was sti criminal starting him over Buckley against the worst side in the division.

Ive been 150% behind Oscar but much more of that and ill be worrying big time.

Maybe Ince refused to suck Oscar off?

Grow up.

Don't really mind if we don't challenge this year. Got a new academy on the way, and Oscar is still instill his ways into the team ethos. There isn't much to be upset with right now.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

I didn't understand what he brought to the table today. He looked completely clueless positionally in midfield. Like a leaf fluttering about in the wind. His body language is terrible, you can have that languid style if you are playing well but when you get beaten to 90% of the balls you go for you just look disinterested. He also doesn't look fit - by the end he was struggling to break into a jog.

I am a fan of Bruno, but shoehorning him into the team when we have in-form actual midfielders on the bench is bizarre. Nurse him back to fitness, don't just plonk him straight back in.

Grow up.

Get a sense of humour.

Let's face it, Bruno has no place in our midfield. But that performance just showed how much we are missing Bridcutt. His absence clouds things and causes KLL to drift off the wing into a central position where he is as affective as a chocolate tea pot, and suddenly we lack width going forward.

 

[Gwylan]

I'm struggling to think of a worse single performance by an Albion player since we've been at the Amex. Bruno had everything today: mis-timed tackles, over-hit passes, lack of pace, poor positioning, lousy ball control: the complete package.

What must Calde be thinking tonight?

 

[Garret Bobby Ferguson]

Oscar clearly wanted to give Bruno another chance to prove he can play in that role. One game where pretty much the whole team was poor was never going to convince Oscar that his idea was a non-starter. Feel for Ince though, MoM performance and then dropped.

The trouble with this idea is that Bruno was toilet at right-back too

Agree completely and hopefully Oscar has had enough of it now.

This. One million times worse than Calde at RB.

wherever he plays Bruno disrupts any pattern of play. His lack of discipline means others have to cover when he goes awol. At right back he's even worse because he cant do the basics, all he wants to do is flick the ball with the outside of his foot, and doesn't bother chasing back. Marginally better than Lopez tonight.

Did you watch David tonight?

Bruno was poor but he actually played quite a few good through balls.

Now David on the other hand. Could anything he did have gone more wrong?

 

[Beach Hut]

If anything Calde should have started in Midfield as opposed to Bruno but not playing Ince is plain stupid in my view

 

[Stat Brother]

Calde & Buckley ooze class and when both are firing they bitch the entire right side of the pitch.
Bruno & Buckley have never been on the same wavelength.

 

[Skaville]

Very little right about the team selection tonight, Buckley and ince just had to start. Very hard to comprehend

Totally agree he just ran wherever we wanted got in other players way & we had no shape because of it.

 

[Skaville]

The greatest BHA love affair since Adams and Virgo?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Vicente could get away with playing that role Bruno did tonight, because he was capable of moments of magic that (occasionally) justified disrupting the rest of the team. Bruno, however, simply cannot be justified in that role.

Both him and Kemy are OBSESSED with having one touch too many and ALWAYS trying to pick out a killer pass.
