    Bet DIREWATCH is turning in his grave.

    Glad to hear he's looking well. Bruce knew where the net was.

    Brucie was a frustrating player

    A la Nardiello and Mifsud - tried to play off the last defender and was made a mug of too easily by a well-marshalled offside trap. Back in the era when we were creating chances for fun, many a move broke down in this fashion.

    The difference is that when he sprung the trap or the ball broke to him in the box he was a reliable bet for a shot on target, whereas Mifsud would tamely pass it back to their keeper and Nardiello would pull his hamstring trying to kick it.

    Was watching the goals from the Huddersfield 7-1 the other day

    Brucie's turn for the seventh is something to behold.

    Main difference

    Being that Dyer scored 15-20 goals a season reliably and Nardia and Mifsud were/are not good enough.

    Yes some of his offsides were daft, but many were trying to break the offside trap and get a one on one, some of the time resulting in one of his many goals.
