    Last night after sleeping in it.
    Ekuban didnt score again and would love him to get one soon. He did however win the corner because of his non stop running, we scored from that corner. Contribution excellent just needs goals.

    We need a striker in January as Think we have trouble in the camp with Lassoga, something Pablo said in an interview. We need goals from strikers.

    Felix is our number 1 and he proved it again last night.

    We need a leader on the pitch as we are weak when teams come at us and get in our faces. After an excellent first half we all knew Bruce would get them at it for the 2nd half we let them, we stopped doing what we did in the first half, we allowed them back in. Happened a few times this season usually ending up with getting beat.

    Viera is worth millions

    Our bench besides Anita, Pennington was weak compared to Villa. Cibicki & Grot are not good enough. Villa subs capable of changing the game, Sacko?

    I think we should all try to avoid stirring this up any further

    I know I am

    If Leeds60 and Glory could both just agree they understand and totally respect the other, I’m sure this can be put to bed

    Probably

    At the risk of sounding like someone else, I get depressed when people write that one of our players is worth millions

    Be nice not to lose our best players this summer, for once

    Pretty much what I was going to post this morning. Im happy with first hour but not happy with the way we died away in last half hour. First half, Villa never looked like getting anything from game except a heavy beating. Squad is paper thin when you look at the subs bench. If or when we pick up a few injuries, well be in serious trouble. All I could do was shake my head at Grot and Sacko coming on as subs. Theyre at best, league one footballers. Im afraid Ive that niggling feeling Doc that we might not have either Saiz or Vierra next season if we dont at least make the playoffs and see some serious proper strengthening of the playing side of things

    Sky commentator mentioned it last night when listing Vierras previous clubs. His exact words were "I wonder who will be his next". frustrating to say the least and if we dont find a way of building a team to challenge immediately, well continue to lose our better players every year

    Told you all last season Viera was class and he will get better, he’s only 19 and still learning, not got a cat in hell chance of keeping him.

    Saiz may just try one touch or trick too many, needs to spray the ball out wide more then move into available positions.

    On last nights performance a draw was a fair result, our bench looked weak, where is Dallas?
    To be perfectly honest I think we are not ready for the big time yet we would get embarrassed to the likes of the Salford plastics and Victimpool something that would hurt very much.

    Not only are we not ready, we are no nearer to being ready than at any point in the last ten years, and it already hurts...

    No team is ready when they get promoted,every team going up needs to and does spend big.

    We are nowhere near a promotion side. Stop kidding yourself if you think we are.

    So you honestly believe if say Vierra and Saiz were out injured for a month wed be able to compete? Not a chance Chesh. Believe what you like, were a fair bit short still and only Rads pockets will sort that. Anyway, six games coming up with all teams below us, well surely win four or five of those if were as good as you think eh <whistle>

    Well said Eire so i suppose its wait and see.quality in midfield is what i want and a top class striker.

    All teams need there top players fit and are not the same without them.Take the 2-3 £10-£15 million pound players out of the Wolves team and they would be average.Take Vardy out of Leicester and they would probably go down,take Pogba out of scum and their win ratio drops massivly,you expect us to be able to cope without our best players,why no one else can.<doh>

    With our top players fit and relatively few injuries so far we are mid table. On what basis are you suggesting we are good enough. We started fantastically with some decent performances and some lucky results but just about everyone has gained in the division has gathered more points than us since October. It’s now December.
