Bruno as captain today

[Buzzer]

It came as a surprise above Hammond or AEA but that's not to say he doesn't deserve it. After the game a few people were wondering if it was to help with language problems with our flair contingent. What brought it home how difficult it must be to play in a side where the main language spoken isn't yours was when the ref had to mime to Ulloa a warning.

Any thoughts on Bruno? I don't think we need to mention his heading. Just about the worst I've ever seen. Thank goodness he's a wizard on the floor...wish his passing was better at times though.

He's been poor lately, Calde should have started in his place IMO

 

[shaolinpunk]

I assumed it would be AEA or Kuszczak as skipper for today (or Hammond were it not for him being a loan player).

I think Bruno started the season in such blistering form that, now that has dipped, people are getting frustrated

 

[clippedgull]

Without stating the obvious Bruno hasn't regained his form since his injury. Maybe Gus gave him the armband as a morale booster.

 

[Buzzer]

Yeah, not quite a Harley but he's struggling to re-capture that form in his first few games.

 

[TheMajor]

If his performance today was affected by the captaincy then I wouldn't give it to him again.

Captain for Huddersfield -if Greer not in the side - Kuszczak or Upson

 

[Buzzer]

Thing is, unlike Harley's drop into mediocrity I would be quite sad for Bruno personally. He gives all the appearance that he's trying very hard to establish himself on and off the pitch.

Spot on.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Personally think Calde should be starting, Bruno is a shadow of the player he was in his first few games for us.

Calde is solid.

This big time I'm afraid. Probably worst player on the pitch today. Fortunately I think its just a bad patch and on occasions I just think he's a little casual. Don't understand what Dicker offers as too slow for this division.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Thought Bruno was average today but has generally been shocking since his injury woes. I would have Calde in front of him and thought he was a strange choice as captain.

 

[Mellotron]

Dunno what's happened to Bruno. Superb at the start of the season, never quite got to that level since.

 

[clarkey]

I find a lot of what he does ambitious or overly casual, and often in our defensive third. He absolutely smashed it in his first few games and I just feel complacency's crept in since then

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Assumed was the language thing given neither Greer or Calde on pitch

This is how I saw it, however, it didn't work today unfortunately.
I like Bruno but his game is suffering foe some reason and he doesn't seem to like heading the ball.
Hopefully he'll get back to the brilliant player he was a few months ago soon

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Maybe he's just cold!

 

[We've signed Kanchelskis!]

Thought he was fine today, forcing Stanislas to be subbed as he was ineffective and did well against Treacy second half. I personally wouldn't of had him as captain, but I thought he did well with the armband and used his power well to talk to the ref.

He reminds be a bit of Jara Reyes - brilliant to begin with, but then not being able to re-capture that form after injury

 

[Albion Robster]

Who is Poyet's love child...I thought it was Barnes, looks like it could Bruno.

 

[Questions]

I think Bruno has been dreadful of late. Time for Caldy to get a game.

 

[The Modfather]

El-Abd should have been captain today
