I was reading the Wolves match report from yesterday and both Afobe and the team were absolutely shite.

"They should be beating teams like this". Fuck you monotone ginger fucking cunt!

Fucking hell I thought we'd scored! Colo was fucking brilliant.

Daft really bringing Thauvin on if he planned to bring Perez off as Thauvin is clearly not defence minded.

Big 15 minutes.

We've barely touched the ball second half, need to get a hold of it for 5-10 minutes.

Playing out of position against a tricky player like Depay it's going to take the first 20 to get settled at least. Thought he grew into the game. Owen talks shit as is well known. We need to put more balls into the box, Mitrovic has the beating of them all day.

Owen giving Mbemba a hard time aswell, he's been marking two sometimes three players at times in that first half. He's made some decent challenges and won headers, Obertan give him NO support in the first twenty minutes. Get Thauvin on.

Like I said during the week getting rid of Abeid and keeping Colback was ludicrous, the fucker is too lightweight.

Anita is injured...

Predictions lads? At this minute I will take a point without question. Thauvin wants a start, he'll be on the bench. Mitrovic should start. We should play 4-4-2, we won't. We should just go all out for the first goal, we will sit back and concede within the first 20 minutes. Then struggle after that. God help us Anything I've missed?

I don't want us to sell him either, we are yet to see the best of him. I think playing him in the right position will give him confidence which in turn will allow him to reach his full potential.

He has the attributes to be a world class player but he goes missing far too often.

Ruled out of Saturday's game with "A knock". Possibly played his last game for us?

A dismal end for him. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/greek-prime-minister-alexis-tsipras-to-resign-today-10464125.html

Another defender before the window closes and we will look more solid.

That's 5 in 3 games on loan at Coventry. Does this lad have a future at the club or is he another one from the Academy we will let slip through the net?

He's stronger, quicker, uses the ball better. Colback is a nothing player. Picks the ball up, then lays it off. That is it, even his set pieces are poor. Up against an athletic Centre Midfielder he is out of his depth. And that is the heartbeat of the team, perfect example was the weekend. Shelvey put himself about and Colback went missing, barely touched the ball.

Fucking joke to be fair, get him fit and he is twice the player Colback is. We take one step forward and three back. We've spent that money and still the defence is shite.

Mad money between Championship clubs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33974678

Gouffran off somewhere, taking his lasses cracking arse with him.

The signings haven't been particularly bad, there just hasn't been enough of them and the tactics Stevie Mac used on Saturday were all wrong. We aren't good enough defensively to sit back and allow teams to play and try and break us down, we have the players in the squad to take the game to opponents and that is what we need to do. If we'd got a hold of the ball and tried to play from the kick off at Swansea it would have been a totally different game, instead we went out with a shit formation and specific instructions to sit deep. Cisse, Sissoko, Wijaldnum, Obertan. These aren't defensive players, they are at their best going forward otherwise they might aswell be on the bench. As seen in the Pardew era Sissoko went missing for long spells as he doesn't want to know playing in that formation. You could see it on his face when he was subbed, as if to say "Not this shit again".
