He should be 4th choice CB really, the failure to bring a CB in during the January window was always going to prove a mistake and is doing so already. Just hope it doesn't cost us a top seven spot.

Would be winning 8-0 by now if it wasn't for this f***ing coward! Wahey, the benefit of hindsight! If you're gonna make childish little jibes then you have to expect them back tbh. Fuck off man. My point was that Pardew has managed us to a good position in the league. Which he has. You know full well what you were at, it was a dig at the people who've been getting after him all week for starting Raylor. I agree he's done well, but people are entitled to criticize him for things they don't like.

I don't think we're set up well to play this lot tbh, result today aside they've been very solid defensively and if we go hoofball we'll struggle to score. They also have pace on the break, which is a real worry for us. Draw seems likely, always impossible to predict a derby though.

Good post.

He doesn't fit into how we want to play, which is a large part of the problem. I'm sure he'd pass the ball more if we had some sort of movement going on around him. He does need to use the ball better when he does get his chances, but it baffles me that some people can't see that he's the most dangerous creative player we have. 9 out of 10 of Robert's crosses were wank, you put up with that because the tenth one will be fucking impossible to defend. Same with Ben Arfa, yes he lost it plenty today but he was also the only one who looked like making the winner.

You honestly think Ryan Taylor is a better option to start?

It's his job to motivate the players. We were shite start to finish, never deserved to be 2-0 up and fully deserved to throw it away. Shite game between two teams that played shite. Pardew takes huge amounts of responsibility for it.

Fucking rubbish.

Stop inventing responses to your posts to argue with lads, it doesn't really achieve much.

Think this might burst our CL hopes bubble. We can't afford to drop points in games like this.

It's only right midfield where he even had a decision, no? Aye, and he played the most defensive minded player there, a player with no ability to play pass and move football. We were sent out to play a game of hoofball, unacceptable at home to a team as poor as Wolves IMO.

In fairness he made the subs when we were 2-1 up, conceding instantly was a fucking disaster.

Gonna rightly get slated for this. Asked for it with his team selection, we've been shit.

I'd throw on Shola for Cabaye, can't see us winning if we stay like this.

Deserved tbh. Not that Wolves have done anything, more that we deserved to concede than they did to score. We better not fuck this up.

Looks very good, if he stays healthy I just can't see him flopping.

Dembii ffs.

Maybe he's still viewed as a striker/just off the frontman type by Pardew? Seems Shola and Best are ahead of him in that role if that's the case though. Shambles.

He might crack a smile at least.

Aye, the only remaining hope is that Pardew has a different formation in mind for us long term that Ben Arfa will fit into. Clutching at straws though I fear.

A faggot of Mackems. Technically it's perfectly acceptable English. Would like an 11/12 point lead going into next week, but as long as we win I'm not that concerned.

Just figured out that this might be on Vietnamese TV. Result.

Aye, finish 4th and he'll still have my backing even if I don't like the HBA situation. It'll plant a massive seed of doubt about him in the long term though, which is my point.
