He's very willing, gets forward but can't tackle unfortunately and often gives away the foul.

The team benefit greatly from having Wood out there.

The weakest link without a doubt

Bruno just oozes class and will get better and better. I fancy there will be a couple of changes for the next game

Bruce didn't keep us up, it was effort by some of the players. We stayed up despite Bruce not because of.

When Bruce left Newcastle I wonder if he gave any thought as to why he had failed so miserably. Eddie how travelled Europe, learning from top teams and coaches so that he could improve. Bruce would have travelled to a few different Gregg's shops no doubt.

I don't think that it will be easy. Potter is a good manager and they will be no pushovers. Still, I'll be happy if we win 5 or 6 nil

I like that he doesn't always play the obvious pass, sometimes they seem like round the corner passes. The man is awesome

Somewhere along the line there will be injuries or suspensions so he will be playing

Bad timing, they could have had Steve Bruce

Maxi doesn't make runs, he just waits for the ball to his feet. It's such a waste because with his pace he'd leave defenders for dead

Leeds are dominating this game and they're 3-0 down

Hasn't he just moved house?

Can't see him playing if he hasn't been training with the team

Norwich and Watford will go down along with any one of the 6 teams currently sitting above the relegation places. That of course includes us and we are a long way from safe. The Brentford game is massive and one we just cannot afford to lose

Eriksen must have concerns about his health and I would expect him to play well within himself rather than take risks. Be surprised if he plays for more than 60 minutes and he may even start on the bench

Burnley result was no surprise. They look like relegation candidates every year but always manage to wriggle away from the bottom. Dyke is the master at getting something from nothing

He'll probably look to sign Gayle in the summer to make sure he doesn't play and just sits on the bench. He's a big admirer of Gayle he said

Having Bruno on the bench waiting to step in will be pushing the other midfielders on. We've not had that before

When we bought Wood we had our backs against the wall. It seems we tried to sign numerous different strikers without success and Wood was far better than other options, i.e. no striker at all. He hasn't scored yet but he does give us another dimension and occupies the opposition CBs creating room for others.

Be great if Everton and Villa went down with Norwich

You could see the difference of how we played it out from the back but you could tell that Krafth wasn't comfortable with it and a lot of the time he just hit a hopeful ball forward. Old habits die hard

Don't think there will be more than 1 goal either way. Be happy with a draw

Trouble is, we don't have access to all of the information needed to make an informed judgement. It's not just about fitness, there are lots of things to take into the equation. That is why I trust Howes judgement to make the right call. He won't always be right but he will learn from any mistakes, of that I'm sure
