Ranger ahead of Carroll? Have a word lads, fucking hell. Harper Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique Taylor/Geremi Guthrie Smith Barton Lovenkrands Carroll

i've been saying this for 15 months, I cannot understand how Butt gets the nod ahead of him

How on earth can you come on here and say that when you haven't even been there and watched the game, you have no idea if he played well or not. How is that relevant? lucky for me I've seen every minute of 85% of the games from the last 2 seasons, and know he's dogshite, not fit for sunday league

lucky to win against Leicester, Sheff Wed and Cardiff. Our attacking play is bloody woeful man

We need a striker and winger asap

Decent bloke but wow, talk about fucking inept tonight. If I was Guthrie I probably would have decked him. Nolan will never be dropped, the useless, unfit cunt. The thing about Nicky Butt, Shearer would also probably play him.

No pace, no width, no legs, no invention. Same as last sason

Those who thought Nicky Butt would do well tonight need a slap. He's got nothing, absolutely nothing Any semi-regular place for him in the team will give us no chance of promotion

Guthrie and Taylor off, Butt still on honestly

christsakes man

we need Lovenkrands, push their defence/midfield back a bit

wahey

3 decent games last month, he's still knackered. To be fair he isn't capable of playing 2 games in 3 days, such is his lack of fitness

there's no way he'll agree to that after what happened in 1872, no fucking chance

it sounds like they're playing through the midfield time and time again, is anyone remotely surprised? Geremi and lovenkrands on please

shite

For all his smarts he wouldn't last 5 minutes in basic... just kidding you big softy

The effect of Nicky 'defensive midfielder' Butt

I must have about 15 accumulators on tonight

I'm far from Carroll's biggest fan but against these defenders and alongside Nolan he should make an impression and dare I say get on the scoresheet. Not doing the donkey work for Shola gives him every chance to shine.

? Shame Butt has to come back in but we all knew it. Carroll for Ranger is definetly the right move

Blackpool to score as a result of a Ryan Taylor freekick is more likely. Ha... to be fair to Taylor though - his set piece delivery has actually improved considerably since the beginning of the season, and it's really promising. I mean, for instance - the woeful free-kick away at West Brom that led to them scoring is stark contrast to one or two he was whipping in vs Cardiff; there were one or two just begging to be put away the other day. Glad to see he's improving cos he looked utter f***ing garbage at first. I can't understand why Guthrie isn't on corners, at least some of the time. Whipped in some great balls against 'boro last season. Guthrie should take all the set pieces in my ever so humble opinion

Agreed. 0-0
