    I've always defended Willo against the stick he gets, but watching Saylor and Willo play, there's just no comparison. Saylor is definitely better, and we need him vs Sunderland.

    From what I heard, he's only got a knock, but is there any news at all about his current condition?

    Willo was ****ing shocking last night, every time he gets the ball he just hoofs it. Now don't get me wrong, in some circumstances that's fine, if he's under pressure and needs to get rid, but it's every ****ing time man.

    Winds me right up.

    He wasn't **** IMO. He has his faults, but he put in some good challenges and won things in the air.

    The hoofball thing is part of our strategy really, it's not just about him. We bring a 6ft 3 inch gorilla on to play up front to play hoofball, so Willo was obviously just doing what he'd been told. HOOF.

    Shola's fit, there's nothing to worry about.

    Didn't think Willo was too bad last night, he got most of headers and he only hoofed it a couple of times, but he's not in same class as Taylor.

    One of the best games I've seen Willo have. I want him exchanged at the end of the season but he did a sterling job last night. Hopefully Saylor is fit though because strangely enough he struggles more in the PL where they are a bit more physical. You'd think it would suit him but he actually gets pushed around a bit. Last night he was able to out muscle their fairly weak centre forward in all the aerial challenges etc. Some of his long balls were a bit turd but I always judge him against what he is capable of, and he was near his limit last night.

    I thought Willo was ok last night. His distribution was poor but he lost nothing in the air and was fairly solid from a defensive point of view (apart from a six yard box heart attack moment in the second half). He was always going to be a bit rusty after so long out. He's never going to be a hall-of-famer, but he has been a good servant to the club and has definitely played his part in getting us where we are today. I'm glad he got to 100 appearances for us last night - he deserves that I think. Will probably struggle to play again with others coming back and a likely move in the summer.
