I don't think you've properly watched the Wolves goal.  From the moment Amavi loses out to whoever for the ball, Jedinak is just ball watching.  Their goalscorer starts behind him, moves infront of him, even slows down before running into the box and Jedinak does absolute nothing.  NOTHING!

He's there to protect the defence, not freely allow players to run at them.

I think you've inadvertently solved the problem without even knowing it...  have highlighted it in red for ya

character building draw

cant have ayew and jack in the same line up... the slow everything way too much and always cut in the middle

 number 33

cant remember us wearing black last year

He's taller than Elphick and Chester combined 

is it the number 6 we're signing??

holy crap... go to sleep and you wake up with 32 pages to read with Kodija speculation tag gone and Hernandez and Morrison's threads locked

is villasoutherner Ravel?

Sign him up for being an epic troll

wanted Abel, but oh well...

To the Bristol city fan, is he the type of striker to hold the ball up and wait for support or the type to turn at the defender and back himself in??

after reading the last 24 pages after not logging on since the loss to Bristol, I am none the wiser on anything!

at least theres still time to bring in a whole new team...

Hope it's Ayew leading the line rather than McCormack.

I think it will be McCormack as it was when Kozak came off late on against Derby

hes tweeted we're close to signing an attacking mid / winger and we're talking about Mao, Gaddafi and Saddam??? go figure

Don't think we should be relying on De Laet playing anywhere other than right-back. He played at left-back for a spell last season, and by the accounts that I've read didn't do very well. I've never heard of him playing in central defence, but from what I've read defending isn't his strength, it's attacking. Someone like Cissokho is more likely to go into the centre of defence in the case of injuries. Besides, we won't be letting Okore go unless there's someone coming in to replace him.

good point on Cissokho as by and large should become 2nd choice when Amavi is fit.  Does anyone know if he can play a role in CD if needed??

I'm not his biggest fan and ultimately he's probably not good enough for where we want to be.

That said, I think he has done OK this season. This is probably more down to the championship being his level but he has looked to get on the ball and keep the side moving forwards. 
If an offer of 5m+ came in for him then I might be tempted to sell but as things stand, he's certainly one we should look to keep unless we find a suitable replacement. 

 

I think hes seemed to do ok this year as hes played next to gardner and certainly not doing as bad as he is

Another good decision by the management.

RDM decides he doesn't want Bennett. Tony pulls the plug on a move where we would be subsidising  (50%? / 10k) of his wages. A week later he goes on a free,500k a year saved.

actually would have kept him, but it does show that Tony has an idea of what he is doing.

surprised we couldn't get a little fee for him but meh

greek football don't have the money to pay his wages... cant see this one happening

Cardiff v reading and then Newcastle v brighton here in oz. On that note villa to win with no coverage of course

sorry not on twitter.... where does it say it refers to Bennett??

Bit concerned that we might be flogging Okore, Lescott and Richards, which would be good for all concerned but leave us with a paper thin defence to match our wafer thin midfield.

although Tony might have more players in the pipeline 

no need to stress... don't think any club is stupid enough to take them

Been looking at some of his clips.  Putting aside WHU fans views, he looks very good in this video.   

 

 

 

wonder if hes been playing out of position at WHU.  Very distinctive poaching forward in this clip compared to winger in west ham colours
