Setting aside the defensive frailties, watching the complete difference in energy and movement just makes Bruce look like an even bigger cunt than he already did.

Well at least we showed some attacking intent. Joelinton had a really good first half. Did canny after the break although it’s a shame he couldn’t finish what should’ve been the winner. Shelvey’s a conundrum because no one else has his range of passing and I thought he had a canny game but it exposes what is arguably a championship defence with him in the middle of the park. Willock doesn’t look match fit. Darlow had a mare.

You what 😂 Why would we replace Joelinton after his best game for us?

There’s 15 seconds of my life I’m not getting back, and 6 hours of CT’s gone.

He's getting into it.

Just finished watching the replay. Quite unlucky really, I thought. We deserved 3 points. Firstly, Darlow is a flapper. Their first goal. Fuck me. Just terrible stuff. Looked like he tried to pick up the shot instead of getting rid with a solid foot. And in the lead up to their third, what the fuck was he doing not getting out to that through-ball quickly and then the joker stood there facing the stand after he’d managed to arrive on the scene at the absolute latest opportunity to stop the shot. He’s a complete liability. Otherwise we were pretty clearly unlucky not to get the win. Dominated them and if we could defend with some composure it would’ve been a comfortable win. The attack was brilliant. Shelvey’s passing was amazing. Ritchie was everywhere. ASM was up for it. And BUJ fuckin scored (then reverted to type like bambi on ice) but, BUT for more than a few moments there he looked a player! Promising. We looked a completely unrecognisable side in attack. Really really positive stuff. And most importantly we didn’t crumble when we went behind. Our teams have had the constitution of an Adam Pearson Live fan in recent times. Now they’re giving it everything on the pitch and then off it they’re ripping in telling APL fans to fuckoff out the way before I run you over! It’s all upwards from here for the haters. A win would’ve been nice. But if we can play with that sense of purpose and belief each week (and switch out Darlow for Dubravka), we’ll get enough points to stay up. That was a performance from a completely different side from the one we’ve seen so far this season. We’re easily mid-table quality if that’s the sign of things to come. AND there’ll be January reinforcements. AND Howe couldn’t even be there today. It’s still a real possibility we go down but you feel it’s in our side’s hands to decide that because they definitely have the ability to get the points that we need. And, fuckin hell, if we play like that the whole way at least it’ll be entertaining regardless of the ultimate outcome. That was a brilliant watch. Definitely brought some pride back to watching us play. At least in the front two thirds of the pitch.

Can't wait for Clarko turning up later...

We're all fucking thrilled to hear it

Who is watching this shite? His “content” makes me want to smoke crack

Click bait shite. ‘Fat lad tries to get himself run over’ would be a more accurate title.

eat your heart out pam ayres.

Wor crimes?

He’ll be retweeting Adam Pearson next.

Well just got home and it was one of those games that that was great to watch if we were not so desperate for the 3 points. Joe was magnificent first half and delighted he got a goal. Couldn’t tell from the leases what happened when ASM put him through but I was sure it was going to be a goal. Darlow was horrific. Overall it was just fantastic to see us on the front foot again. It’s looking grim for relegation but who knows. A bit of tinkering with that line up and I fancy our chances against Norwich and Burnley.

Agree with this, we’re hard up points wise thanks to the worst manager in PL history phoning it in but that was very positive after 10 days training. 23 shots with 9 on target, I really can’t remember the last time we come close to that. Obviously we really needed a win but it’s so positive to see players most have wrote off because of how bad they’ve been coached looking capable.

certainly entertaining. would imagine @Kevin Carr's Gloves lad loved his first game. gutted BUJ fluffed the opportunity after a superb run by asm, thought we deserved the win. got to happen next game.

Really feel like that gift goal from Darlow gave Brentford a massive lift after we had just gone ahead. The crowd would have been right up for it at that point, could easily have scored another one and put the game to bed.

I'm alright with that after 10 days training with them. There's reason to be hopeful at least. Defending was insane at time, but with Dubravka in goal we win that match.

Me and Clarko love a Shelvey 60 yarder to feet.

Well given @Gemmill's history I would say he is self projecting.

16 shots in the first half, doubt we have had that many all season

Joelinton looks a different player, all over the pitch putting in good tackles and passes and cracking finish. Really mint to see us playing on the front foot for the first time in fucking years.

What the fuck is going on here

Give it Brucey till the end of the season

He's flipped the script on essembee.

Start by putting 50p in

Looks like that fuckin incel Pearson put his fat mate up to it for err "content"

I see Castore have released a new limited edition strip. I quite like it! Stitched badges too

How long until another statement is put out telling people to stay the fuck away from the training ground?

What a bunch of wrong un's.

Shame we didn’t get you in the QF of the LC 😎

Why are people entertaining this awful bore?

Shame. I've really enjoyed them looking absolutely shit. Apparently Tony Blair is being talked about as a possible replacement for Gary Hoffman at the PL.

We've talked about this.

Love it when my dog does a long shit. One piece to pick up, thank you very much.

Come on lads, let's shithouse this

There's definitely more movement. Which seems to have been what Howe was preaching in those early training videos.

Joelinton scoring FFS. Give Eddie Howe Manager of the Year right now.

They even look like they might have worked on set pieces.

anything to report?

At least the Saudi lads should be able to sort Howe out with a dodgy stream for tomorrow afternoon.
