Thanks Werder. A very amusing preview - I suppose if we didn't laugh we'd cry! I agree re Tav and Roberts. We desperately need some zest in the atta...

Put very simply, I think too much of our recruitment over the years has been along the lines of, “We need a midfielder. Who were the best 3 in the lea...

Organised and determined at the back, fluid and lively going forward - Bristol City played well today. For us, we still haven’t found the balance an...

BC the better team, passing and moving really well at times and we haven’t been able to cope. Credit to them. The scoreline though is a case of bein...

@allan-in-bahrain Good to read that you’re back up and running, Allan. All the best and hoping for three points for you to celebrate.

Yes, I completely agree with this. I think Coulson as the left wing back would also add further pace, energy, mobility and a bit of tenacity.

Warnock struck a much more positive tone in his press conference this morning and also his comments on Spence. Two of the main contentions in the pa...

Thanks for kicking us off Jarkko. Simple for me - setup and play more or less like we did against Millwall and we'll win. Setup and play like we did a...

I missed the game entirely due to work but delighted and relieved to be proved wrong in my prediction. Well done Boro. Please stick with the wingbac...

Well, Spence is the only player with pace in that side, and there's no creativity at all in the centre. Right sort of shape, wrong sort of personnel f...

I think when the club say Pulis left us in a far better state than when he found us, they only mean the wage bill. The quality of the squad he left ...

Thanks Werder. i think I’ll save my prediction until I see the teamsheet. Selections like the last two games and it will only go one way.

Not a bad set or results for us this evening. However, I suspect we’ll need to beat Millwall tomorrow to climb out of the bottom three. I fancy Hull...

Warnock press conference quote: ”“We probably have a shortage of strikers and defenders. We do have good wing-backs.” Is that a hint at the shape ...

Last season under Pulis, I thought Fry did well on the left of a three and brings the ball out well. I have Clayton in there on the left of the two ce...

I’ll just keeping on banging my little drum for a wingback setup: Stojanovic/Pears Shotton Moukoudi Fry Spence Howson Clayton Coulson Roberts ...

@redcarred Agree with all of that, RR. My slightly flippant point about stumbling across a good, long-term manager is that I don’t think we’re going t...

No doubt Keith Lamb was vilified but I would also say that he was around when Steve Gibson had financial muscle. In those days, the only strategic pla...

Spot on from AV and echoes of Werder’s (and others) posts above.

I’m afraid Warnock’s selections have got worse each game so far. I can only assume that we have a number of players that are much better in training t...

Disjointed, demoralising, desperate debacle of a defeat. Please Mr Warnock, do not try something so nonsensical again. Friend and Fry are not a do...

Awful first 45. No fight, no urgency. Not a lot of anything really. Odd selection and it hasn’t got any better. Warnock needs to deliver an outstand...

@grovehillwallah One thing we can be certain of is that they won’t line-up like that! Looks like either wingbacks or 442 but I think the former.

Many happy returns, Werder. Let's hope we can all join your celebration after cruising to a home win. However, I'm going for 1-1. I left Spence out ...

Thanks for the preview, Werder. These games are so nervy but made more so as the teams around us keep picking up points in fits and starts. I stil...

Fletcher surprisingly on the bench. Coulson comes in. No other changes.

It looks like Wigan’s points deduction will only be applied this season if they finish outside of the bottom three, which of course it very much looks...
