I do take on board that we have to move on from DF. Also think it fair to remember last season in the Championship we had Emi and Skipp who are both PL quality. Finally while I’m trying to give DS the credit he deserves, he has managed without a true CDM the whole season albeit that Gibbs stepped in and did well in that role. All this said, don’t think it’s unfair to expect to watch a far better standard of football than we are at present and at times it does look like some of the players aren’t fully committed and yesterday was rubbish, football at its worst and I don’t understand why some of you want to credit WBA. They go a goal up and immediately set about s**t-housery and time-wasting on a scale I’ve not witnessed for some time. Why referees don’t put a stop to it I have no idea. The keeper deliberately wasted time about half a dozen times before the ref said anything but the second time should’ve been a booking then it would’ve stopped it. But the other aspect of their play I don’t get is why Bruce didn’t encourage them to go for the second goal at 1-0. After we equalised they were comfortably the most likely team to score again and they could’ve put the game to bed much earlier by playing positive football. So when Bruce moans about handball i just think the blokes an idiot. He gives the instructions and the negativity comes from him. So I think after watching that load of crap yesterday I definitely think fans have a right to complain about what they’re watching and it’s not entitlement.
