this forum honestly if the keeper didn't pull off an incredible save, Phil K and others wouldn't be complaining about Nile... for this week anyway.

yes thankfully, unless something silly happens.

You are wrong the majority of the time, well, it seems that way. So I'm not really going to take your advice on this occasion. Thanks though.

May have taken one or two?.. that's changed a wee bit since 'definitely not taking them'

Yep. Zero. And Ranger does.

So what if they were 6 yards infront of goal? Ranger's one and only goal this season was a tap in, im not biased towards anyone, but in my opinion on a good day Harewood is capable of more than Ranger. Ranger actually has intelligence on the pitch and work rate. He can take on defenders and run with the ball, the only thing lacking has been goals but with every game he is getting in better positions and creating chances for others. The only thing Harewood did, was tap the ball into the net, otherwise he was non-exist. Zero ball retention with him in the side.

Canny consistent now. Definitely keep him. Can't see hi doing anything but getting even more assured. Its a little unfair on the rest of the teams in the league How good our back 5 are really. We need to sell in the summer mind, he is beyond terrible in the Premiership.

If no one has said this already - Zlatan

Why? Pay them a Premiership wage, whilst we are in the Championship?? Where is the sense in that exactly. We are better than the entire league right now.

4 goals, and how many assists? How many times has he played the lone striker role in his appearances this year? He has done it well all season, he holds the ball up better than any one of our forwards. It's what you need away from home.

Two assists today, and his delicate chip was just the wrong side of the post. All in all good performance from the lad. Goals.. like with Nile.. will come soon enough. It's just no one seems to be providing any kind of service. Carroll is probably amongst the top of our assist chart, it wouldnt surprise me at all. We have such a wank midfield.

Good game from Carroll i thought, laid on two goals for his team-mates.. he's coming along just nicely.

How many minutes we played?

Yea he played like that with SBR, Souness and the many more managers.. but still was being selected. I am just sensing - if he plays badly - the majority of the board wanting Hughton out or getting fed up with him. Despite our position and our run of form.

Aye Chris, but he's s***. Would you play me if I turned up on time every day and tried really hard? Teams should be selected on players training well though shouldn't they? That's not the worst quote a manager can make tbh.

Were they unbearable when he was banging in hattricks? There is no way he is any more frustrating than Harewood or Carroll. Hattricks? Did you see that match? He took his eyes completely off the ball for the header, and also netted a penalty... stunning. still have to put them away, shola will fire us to promotion When your main striker takes his eye off the ball.. somehow makes good contact and it happens to go in. It's not putting them away.. it's a fortunate fluke.

It's f***ing pathetic tbh. Understatement. Mind-boggling decision. we need to protest?

Why? If we lost today you would be annoyed at Hughton in some form right? So give the guy some credit. That is 4 wins in a row now?

Pretty poor other than that again I thought. Never seems to expect the ball to reach him and is on the back foot when it does. Reminds me a lot of the 'old' Shola in that respect. The 'old' Shola? Shola is still w***. Has never improved during his time here.

I know right and he's supposedly world class? and Shay Given isn't? .. it's all about the badge.

Was a performance to be remembered too. Indeed, I remember how s*** he was And somehow manage to forget how s*** Ranger was in the first half against Leicester, or away at Peterbrough, or in a fair few of his sub apperances. Was brilliant the whole game against Leicester if I remember correctly. Most of his sub appearances have been under 20 minutes or so. He has had more time recently to be fair but he's still looked dangerous to me. no he wasn't. he was decent but the performance was hyped up because it was a youngster making his debut. had exactly the same performance been put in by a more experienced player it wouldn't have been seen as "brilliant". oh and shola looked a better prospect whern he first broke through. That's really a matter of opinion. It was made MORE impressive due to it being his first game. Was still bloody good regardless. good,not brilliant and as i say, made more of because he's young than the actual performance warranted. Fascinating. isn't it. the way a perception of a performance can be altered because of who is doing it. No, i think its more fascinating that you are so offended by a 18 year old on his first senior performing so well.. (MOTM and standing ovation). Which leads to people saying we could have a really good player on our hands. Instead you would rather post say - 5 relies in the last 20 minutes - saying why his performance wasn't all that and that 'x' player was better blah blah blah'.
