    Poor parenting is definitely to blame <laugh>


    It’s me that’s being punished though (for taking him to see Denis Bergkamp under floodlights, probably) - the boy’s been spared a life time of sorrow

    Someone please tell me, but is there more mobility and speed with Redmond, Sims and sometimes Long? We are taking a leaf out of Liverpool's attack as none of their threesome is what you would call a traditional centre-forward in the mould of Lukaku, Lambert or Austin.

    I really do like Nuno.....

    Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo: "Our defensive structure was not the best - it is something that we have to look at.

    "After we conceded the opener we controlled the game well and made chances until we drew level. We then went behind and were not able to stand up again and the second half was poor.

    "We left too many spaces and we allowed them to play. Today they were better than us and we have to regroup and bounce back immediately. Our trip to Spain was planned before and we feel it is a good moment to have an opportunity to train and be together."

    Spot on! I also didn’t really think Danny had a great game yesterday but Ralph gave him a role which he adapted to. He’s probably still a bit rusty but produced 2 fabulous defence splitting passes, 1 made a goal & the other should of. Not a bad contribution.

    Danny Murphy said on MOTD how well Ings played and analysed his performance highlighting his contribution.

    Did anyone else notice how Match of the Day interviewed father and son straight after each other?

    Ian Wright more so. Ings has a great game. He’s a quality player.

    Yeah, quite clear that Ings is a brilliant players and streaks ahead of long. Very intelligent footballer and not only has the ability to pick out great passes, but is one of our only players able of even seeing them.

    Also think he will improve if he stays fit for a regular run of games.

    As will his scoring stats because Strikers generally get sharper with more game time.

    Danny should always start ahead of Shane, but I still maintain that Shane offers a great option from the bench and is useful as an out ball at places like Anfield and the Etihad.

    And Ings would probably have got a goal if Sims had passed to him.

    We've settled on poor parenting not outright abusive.<laugh>

    Long, like everyone, has improved under Ralph. But for 60k a week he is one of our best paid players and shows why we have a high wage bill but no particularly star players. We are currently paying 32 year old subs and loan players what we should be paying good first team regulars.

    He'll go in the summer, these goals are just a cunning plan to make someone buy him. That's why we're all pretending the Leicester one wasn't obviously a Schmeichel OG.

    I really hope he does. But as with Forster, Clasie, Carrillo and Hoedt, they wont take a pay cut but nobody will match their wages.

    We will struggle to off load them again

    Oh come on SA, when had Shane ever been a threat at somewhere like Anfield?

    Tell me that Katharina doesn't care...a comment often made on Saintsweb. She turns up which she doesn't have to if she saw Saints solely as a business.
