    Mike: The point doesn't matter, Bruce has to be replaced now before the season is lost. The new owners have to act now otherwise I have lost all faith them too.

    Simon: It's really worrying that we are leaking so many goals. Why did we not sign a defender in the summer and why did we let Elphick go? He is better than Jedinak.

    Myles: Whelan??? Really??? We have more proven penalty takers and you choose him? What in the name? #BruceOut
