Sunderland Echo Tonight

[Weremuthe]

Looks like the fans jury are all in the Bruce-out camp now and you don't have to read too far between the lines to see that the reporters are tired of his regime.

One of the Jury mentions that Bruce refused to play Noble because he looks like a young boy wonder what he would have made of the 17yo Michael Owen?

[Almost Genius]

idiotic

almost as stupid as bringing meyler on for 30 seconds the other week

He is rapidly losing his marbles is doubtfire, good point by the way, if u score a hatrick in a reserve game, what more do u have to do to get a shot, noble will have deffinately thought "here's my chance coming" imho

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

If he wasn't prepared to give Ji a start then why not start Noble? He's a striker who was fit to play and had put himself in the frame with a hat trick against Newcastle days before hand. I don't get all this "he's still a young boy" shite. If he's good enough, he's old enough.

And saying he looked like a little boy probably did wonders for his confidence. FFS, Bruce. Please just shut the fuck up and concentrate on winning games.

Noble: Am I playing today boss
Bruce:No you look too young

Well he's got history - as MadMaxim often says he wants a team of 2 metre tall athletes, footballing skill an advantage but not necessary.

He thought Reid & Steed weren't big enough and dropped them.

Are you a happy clapper or is that you Brucey?

Echo Jury: Stuart Hall look back on Saturday’s draw with Fulham


Published on Monday 21 November 2011 12:00

I’M not sure I can find the words to adequately describe Saturday’s match against Fulham – it was dreadful from start to finish.

Barring Richardson and Colback both being unlucky and hitting the woodwork early on, I don’t think either side created anything worthwhile until Sessegnon was unlucky with virtually the last kick of the game.

Fulham looked a very poor side and looked as though they weren’t interested in scoring. Packed full of six-foot plus footballers, they reminded me of Stoke City.

I thought Schwarzer constantly wasted time while taking his goal-kicks, which was the probably the highlight of Fulham’s afternoon.

I have a little bit of sympathy with Bruce over the lack of strikers, but surely Ji or even Noble after his midweek hat-trick for the reserves deserved a go from the start. And why Elmohamady gets a game is beyond me.

We really didn’t look like scoring and while Bendtner looks a good footballer, we didn’t play to his strengths. Neither Sessegnon nor Richardson were anywhere near him for most of the afternoon.

Time has to be running out for Bruce. He’s signed the majority of players who start on a regular basis now and we just don’t look good enough. Let’s hope for a better home performance this Saturday.
