    Bamford is the main striker, he couldn't score in a brothel full of queers.

    He can't score, league 1, wait, league 2 at best, if anyone down there would have him.

    What is it with this effing team! Just when you think they have turned a corner WHAM ****ing lose to Wigan at home again.

    What the **** is the actual point in bringing in Poveda, putting him on the bench and not getting him on the ****ing pitch. As for Kev why the **** is he not on the bench. So what if he hasn't had months of indoctrination into the Bielsa way we don't have the ****ing luxuryof time! **** SAKE!!!!

    I'm sure we'd get a better performance than nearly Bamford.

    If Bamford plays next game Bielsa needs shooting, don't sign him for a third year.

    No we haven't but we've seen Bamford on and off for 12 months. It's just not going to happen for him.

    Hernandez has looked fresh since he came back. Keep him in. Costa is still full of running and looks pacey and confident. Leave him for now.

    The misses from Harrison and Bamford from 6 yards out are a constant annoyance. Have been for 18 months now. Wake up guys. It's not going to change now.

    The keeper was excellent until December. Really won me over but after watching his confidence dive as it did last season, we cant risk that again. Meslier proved he is up to the task vs Arsenal. It might just relax our defence a bit having a calmer influence back there.

    Seriously guys, what are we afraid of losing? As it stands we will not be going up. It's a really difficult task to turn confidence around. We are shot at the back and we are missing chances up top. We MAY have the personnel to turn it around. We can at least try!

    Makes no difference same as last season. Only a matter of time till we lose second spot. Forest and Brent ford away next. Lucky that’s a handy six points for us

    In my humble opinion
    Bielsa instructs the players, by the time we finish farting about by the 18yd box the 6yd box is packed with defenders

    Exactly. System is fine.

    Personnel are not!

    Poveda is mainly right sided, I’d drop Costa or put Costa in at 10 and drop Pablo. I’d play Dallas wide left or LB, definitely play Meslier but it ain’t ever going to happen. It’s knee jerk like you say though, we’d have ripped half out at half time against Millwall then look what they did second half.

    When Wolves won promotion 16/17 Costa scored 10 from 35 starts, when you play a loan striker up front you expect him to get between 20-25 goals but the three attackers behind need to get double figures, 10 each would still only get us 50 goals so you’d need some from defenders at set pieces and a few from the central midfield positions.

    It’s like a disease has spread through the entire team, I just can’t believe how we are failing to convert the chances.

    Won't be long before the fans start turning on Bielsa,

    Same old same old every game, a striker who can't score, a winger who wants to dribble everyone and the corner flag, a coach who doesn't know how to create a plan B, sub and select as per game.

    Bielsa is good at making players better, except Bamford, Harrison and Phillips, he's good at creating good football, but he's a one eyed one trick pony, he can't get over final hurdles.

    It’s not a recent thing. We’ve only converted a tiny percentage of what we created in last two years. Makes you wonder if we’re as utterly fantastic as were led to belive

    I think we missed Phillips today and Bielsa is the best Manager we've had for years. No other Manager has got us to this level. It's frustrating because he's OCD but I wouldn't swap him for what we've had.

    Costa is mainly left footed so drop Harrison.

    I would suggest we don’t want a striker that plays the Bielsa way but someone with individual flair

    When Costa got promoted with Wolves he played on the left in a lethal partnership of goals and assists with a certain Barry Douglas. Wonder what happened to him? It's part of the reason given for signing him.

    Not barking at you Ristac. Things just need changing before it's too late. One definition of stupidity is trying the same thing over and over again expecting different results. The front 3 are not scoring. I don't care if Big Kev plays on the right. That's one of his positions. (Granted, it's why he left Monaco).
