yeah thanks RTG

If Gyan is prone to 'not feeling great' he must be really worried with his forward options.

I'm worried that Steve Bruce is worried. He should have the answers.

Exactly and not good signs going forward.

Swansea is a must win already to keep the fans off his back. Lose Swansea and Chelsea and really will have problems.

maybes he should try starting with a striker for games. just a suggestion. £8mill for wickham....doesnt start even though could do with a run out. £3mill for ji dong, could do with english football practice

They are both young and raw and it will be interesting to see how they step up to the challenge. Some need nurturing, some explode onto the scene. I just hope Bruce is a good reader of characters and provide the relative amounts and correct type of support throughout the team for both of them once they are hoyed in the deep end.

I'm not worried about him at all, in fact I couldn't give a shit. He's never had any answers to why we can't win.

He finally cracked last night with that line up.
