A plea to Hughton - Bruno

BUTTERBALL · Aug 6, 2016

Please please Chris don't start Bruno in central defence today. It is a completely unnatural position for him and we lose all his creativity down the right hand side which was key in so many games last year. I'd rather start Hall there who has a bit of Scottish Premiership experience or look at other alternatives than waste Bruno's talent.

I agree we would be b :ohmy:

ack to last season square peg in a round hole. Have we not learnt?

spence · Aug 6, 2016

I'm very worried about it myself. Bruno is poor with his head and lacks height.

89pts suggests you are wrong

Playing Bruno at CB today is the only realistic choice CH has got. If at any time the game is 'safe' it would be good for young Hall to get some game time, but a huge risk to start with him.

Agree entirely.
Against experienced forwards it's a disaster waiting to happen.

He also gets caught turning into players or letting them run when in the middle which he can do as a full back.

It could easily have been 92+

spence · Aug 6, 2016

Am i right in thinking Goldson looks set to miss at least another week which could be 3 home games on the bounce?

BensGrandad · Aug 6, 2016

Goldson wasnt mentioned at Fans Forum so not sure on the latest news. Any official updates on his progress?

I'm not sure Hall is better than either Ben White or Dallison, who I thought would have been recalled.

I don't see we have a better choice than Bruno. The key will be for Dunk to stay in position and not go wandering like he normally does, hopefully Bruno can talk to him.

I would imagine Martin is licking his lips at the prospect

Exactly...and let's face it ..if it was going to be Hall he would have played last Sunday

I'm sure they are working on it

In an ideal world that isnt good enough it should have been sorted yesterday. 3 points lost today could be the decider at the end of the season with Derby also being a promotion contender. In fairness to CH he did say it may not be sorted until end of August.

They probably haven't noticed we're short at the back.

Eddiespearritt · Aug 6, 2016

Don't panic guys - we won't go 22 games unbeaten this season - I guarantee it. Bruno will certainly play in central defence. What you are asking for is an experiment on the first day of the season with Hall - at a very difficult place. I expect to get nothing today - a point would be a bonus - and we are already level with "unbeatable" Newcastle, with a game in hand ! A long season of twists and turns - do I wish we were safer at the back today - yes - do I wish Hall would start - absolutely no.

I wonder if Hughton has weighed up the options of where we are with our CB targets, how fit Uwe and Goldson are, the strengths of Bruno at CB and decided on the right thing to do given that 3 points are at stake. And i wonder if he even remembers how we missed out last season purely on goal difference and how Derby will probably be up there in the top 6.
I wonder. ??

I partly see what your saying but in all honesty there is no point buying a player the CH doesn't want just so he can play V Derby. We obviously have targets in mind but currently they haven't come off. It's the same for a lot of clubs especially in the Chanpionship. We just have to sit and wait to see what's available after the PL riches have stocked their squad with who they want and have told players they won't be in their PL squads for the year.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
