Steve Bruce

It was probably a bit worse than that, if I'm being brutally honest.

It was totally acceptable.

We've got a following of supporters who've come in the thousands to hear them, and the way they reacted to the team is typical of them.

But we've got to give them something more to shout about than that, because it was, you know, OK, the red card changes the game, but after that you need to show a little bit more desire and a bit more hunger and a bit more spirit amongst you.

Yes, the second goal is a mistake and the third goal is a wicked deflection.

And then it is a tough afternoon.

And that's when you need to see what you've got, you know, when things are going against you.

And certainly we didn't do enough.

It was one of them horror shows.

Of course it's a big moment in the game, a big, big chance, and we haven't taken it, but we can't keep going back to things like that.

Of course they're game-changing, we know that,

Overall, in the 90 minutes, you've got to take part in the game, no matter what the circumstances are.

Today, we didn't do anywhere near enough of the basics.

It was one of them, when you have to really dig deep, we didn't do enough.

I think when he looks at it, I've got no complaints of maybe back in my day, 20, 30 years ago, maybe.

But in today's game, you can't follow through and be reckless, we all know.

And they're the ones that really damage people as well.

So I think when he looks back, he'll know that he was in the wrong.

Yeah, well, I've got people on the bench who I haven't seen a lot of or seen before.

So I think it was important that we got Andy at some sort of fitness levels, at least.
