In terms of technical footballing ability, that Bruce team was the best we've probably ever had. Granted, some of them were on loan but we had quality throughout. It was just a shame Bruce then thought the likes of Craig Gardner were adequate replacements for Malbranque.The Bruce era with the team we had then was the other chance and we blew that too - can you imagine having players of the calibre of Bent, Gyan, Welbeck etc playing for SAFC? It’s like a dream now, but we could and should have built on those opportunities.
