Here, we take a look at how YOU reacted to Bruce’s starting XI on Twitter:
@agbnufc_: “2 weeks to prepare for this and it's the same old 5ATB formation. At least no Hendrick I guess.”
@MichaelNUFC_: “How can Krafth, Shelvey, Gayle keep getting games in 2021?”
@WorWilsonNUFC: “Oh wow a half0decent side for once.”
@adamNUFC__: “We’re going down.”
@FeaturingMax1: “That's honestly awful. #bruceout.”
@JxrdanT97: “EMILE KRAFTH CB. 5-0 home defeat incoming”

@Geeny200: “Krafth and Dummett both playing CB by the looks of it. I like the Murphy start and let's hope Saint can get on the pitch after HT. #NUFC.”
@hellojamesj: “A Krafth Lascelles and Dummett back 3 is not the news I wanted today. #nufc”
@harrydecosemo: “Looks like five at the back again for #nufc. ASM back on the bench. No Wilson yet. Gayle starts, hopefully up front...”
@JakeJackmann: “This is an absolutely mental team. #nufc”
