[Football] Should Bruno........

[GoingUp]

I do rate Montoya but is Bruno simply not in the team because we are trying to think longer term? Because every time he plays (from memory) he is always excellent. I think we miss him tbh he stays wide/stretches the play and more so imo over laps and links up with our wingers better.

If only Bruno was a bit younger. Though after not playing too much this year, there is a good argument for starting him for a few games in the run in. My impressions of Montoya are of a steady player but unspectacular.

I think you can see Montoya get better recently and he speaks a bit of English now which is probably contributing to the better performances

Surely somebody could have translated "Martin, please could you try to get at least some of your crosses past the first defender?" into Spanish by now, if it would have helped?

Shame he got that assist at Millwall chalked off because of that dopey bloody li...

...ok, lets not go there.

 

[Wozza]

He could be a mascot and come out holding Lewis Dunk's hand ...

If he pays £350 and is prepared to share duties with a young Albion fan.

OR

Get your shots under the crossbar. Not against the crossbar

[Uh_huh_him]

I seem to recall Bruno being brought back in at the end of last season for the seemingly crucial points against Spurs and United.
Admittedly the Schelletto experiment was well and truly done after the palace implosion, but I can see the value in having Bruno back for a few games now.

That's a bit harsh. It was the only moment in that game that got me of my seat

Hmmm he still came a lot closer to scoring than any of our so called forwards did last Saturday though!

After Schelotto last year Montoya has been a blessing and he is okay as much as Bong is okay. but next season he will need a Bernardo type competition for the place. I haven't got a problem with Montoya btw.

True, he was unlucky with that one.

 

[banjo]

King Bruno should be sitting in the Royal box.

I was only joking

 

[sjamesb3466]

Starts tonight so I am guessing Montoya plays on Saturday

 

[Questions]

Absolutely ridiculous question. If he plays yes. If he doesn’t no.

 

[Acker79]

Nice sentiment, but as he didn't start at Millwall, I'd say its pretty unlikely.

He was on a yellow card, I saw that as possibly an effort to protect him so he could lead us out.



I think it's a tough one, sentimentality says he's led us so well in his time with us, his career is winding down, we'd hope Dunk might have opportunities going forward to lead us out at Wembley. On the other hand, Dunk has been the captain so much this year, and there's no guarantee we'll get back to Wembley anytime soon after this season, doesn't Dunk deserve it? What sort of impact would that have if other teams show an interest in him when we've shoved him aside for Bruno?

 

[LamieRobertson]

I did enjoy seeing Bruno back in the side last night ....that nutmeg he did in the first half down by the north west corner was sublime ....I’d be staggered if we saw him again next season and hope that I get the chance to see him play for us one more time this season

Should replace Hughton in charge for the last 5 games....

Should replace Hughton in charge for the last 5 games....

That crossed my mind last night too. I am definitely Hughton in but the energy, commitment, skill and passion Bruno has for the club would lessen the blow for me if CH was to be replaced for the last 5 games by the bearded legend. The work rate that guy put in last night was phenomenal for a man of his age.
