His youtube clip shows he's quite good at punting the ball long. Should slot right in.

The key to that was Nolan scoring vital goals. He hasn't been doing that lately. We're also without 3/4 of the defence that helped us keep the clean sheets in those matches too.

We could still have an effective counter-attacking system with those two being wide of Ranger, who isn't slow - in my opinion. You can play 4-5-1 on the counter just as much as you can in a 4-4-2. It's never gonna be Ranger though.

My main worry is that playing 4-5-1 we'll end up drawing our way into a play off spot and then end up getting done over in the play offs. Much like how we drew our way to relegation last season.

Yeah but with Routledge now in the squad, we should in theory be able to murder them on the counter attack with him, Lovenkrands and Jonas. The problem with 4-5-1 is that you limit your chances of winning games in an effort not to lose them.

Lovenkrands has to be one of the first on the team sheet for me. He needs to drop Nolan, he isn't even scoring goals any more. The goal Ranger scored at the death on Wednesday is exactly why you need a striker who can race away on the break. Routledge and Jonas are both capable of playing in cute passes but it's pointless if you've got two lumbering forwards which is effectively what you will have if Nolan is playing off Carroll. Maybe we don't give Hughton enough credit. None of us thought he saw the weaknesses in our squad but he's gone out and bought players to rectify them so maybe we'll see better team selections soon. Sounds far fetched I know but y'know...

Lovenkrands has to be one of the first on the team sheet for me. He needs to drop Nolan, he isn't even scoring goals any more. I fully agree i just wouldn't be suprised to see us go 4-4-1-1 tomorrow for some reason. I know. It does seem too much to ask for us to attack teams instead of setting up to counter them.

Xisco left at the wrong time then

Craig Bellamy - He was s*** at Coventry so I wasn't really impressed at the time. Duncan Ferguson - Never liked him as a player but he did alright here. Patrick Kluivert - Thought he was past it when he first came but he made us a much better team when paired with Bellamy. Michael Owen - Was so excited when he came...and yeah. Sibierski - Was horrified by his signing but he turned out alright.

No matter how different our team may look now the central midfield is still depressing.

He looks like a lesbian.

I wonder if their manager just puts a Kuyt wig on one of their players to tease him now.

By biggest idiot do you mean most obese?

AKWOPRKOPAWKROPAWKROPKWAP!!!

Victor Moses has had such a hard life. Parents killed, orphaned, having to work for both Warnock and Simon Jordan and now his own thread is hijacked. Poor kid.

Dunno but that Moses lad was wank for half his career before he went to Chelsea.

Has he signed yet?!!!!1111

I really want it made into an emoticon.

I love Sky Sport's picture of Warnock: http://img.skysports.com/10/01/218x298/Neil-Warnock-Crystal-Palace_2411780.jpg

Sounds like a signing that would make Hughton have to drop one of his old guard. No chance of happening.

FFS just show the goals.

It's Wayne Rooney. Oh can you feel the joy...blah.

Oh...great...
