Must be s**** then Whoosh

Uh oh.. Xisco time again!

Both of Accringtons' goals were rockets and the opportunity came from poor clearances. There's very little that Krul could have done in fairness.

I can see Hughton being like Moyes, but likeable.

To be fair he was about to make a sub and then Carroll scored. It would have been daft to change the team afterwards and with the momentum we got. He doesn't rush with them though, you're right in essence.

Go on then, get started.

That's Hughton's biggest test imo. To drop one of his favourites (it seems to be the case, at least) with Nolan. To drop Barton instead of Nolan would be just crazy. It's not a case of dropping his 'favourite', it's dropping the club captain. I was expecting him to play on Wednesday as well to be fair so there's a chance he will be dropped, but I reckon it's much more likely that he'll be accommodated elsewhere in the midfield. This in itself brings a whole host of problems, assuming we stick with the 4-5-1. In the central (DM/CM/AM) role we have: Tiote Guthrie Barton Ben Arfa Nolan Smith Gosling (almost forgot about this fella) That's an extraordinary amount of central players.. all of which have shown that they have the ability at the top level. Obviously with some it's just being once in a blue moon, such as Smith, and others have only just started to show their potential in the squad, such as Barton. Then we have full (current) Internationals that will almost expect a starting role, such as Tiote & Ben Arfa. I would think that a 4-3-3 could potentially solve a few problems, as Ben Arfa could be played wide right or left in an attacking role and that would give 3 central slots to the other ones, but apparently HBA was told he would be given a central playmaker role.. so who knows! I can't imagine the effect that having Keane in the side would have with selection.

I don't mind him, he goes out to wind up supporters and always manages it. I remember him doing it at Derby away last season when he kept turning his head around. Blatantly hates the toon, like.

I'm pretty sure he'll go about 10 games without scoring at some point in this season, if he doesn't then he'll have turned into a genuinely quality player in like 6 months. Generally young strikers lack consistency in their game.

I think I'll wait until we're an established PL side and we've shown steady progression thanks. No doubt there'll be some ridiculous stunts pulled between now and the end of the season.

Well yes. It was supposedly either this lad or Tiote.

I didn't watch the Prem last year.. is that Wolves strongest line-up?

Hmm, you'd think he wouldn't be in the squad at all if he was going to be leaving the club in the next few days.. we'll see.

Nee worries Keefaz, him and Tiote both speak French. Coincidence? Hmmmm...

Credit where credit has to go. I think Derek deserves some for that transfer. NEVER!

Aye, because he's a nob.

37? I thought I had a scoop for a second! Bah! Brilliant signing, good to announce it before the game too.

Is there anyone actually against him coming to the club? Niel is right that a long-term deal wouldn't be good and I can't see him playing for less than a big wage.. loan would be perfect though.

Apparently he's been given number 22..

Where did you see this?

Stop whining you big pansy.

I'd like a League 1 or 2 team away from home (bit of funding for them) or anyone else at home. Villa at home?

I can see this being like Derby away last year. We win comfortably at home, CH keeps the line-up the same and we get dismantled fairly easily away from home.

I'd love to think of Hughton as a tactician, in a board room with monitors and a massive subbuteo table in the middle. Paul Barron controls the goalkeepers and Calderwood makes sure that the pitch is in tip-top shape with no creases.

I wouldn't if I were you. As it is quite clearly idiotic. Based on? The fact your quite clearly a moron. Bit harsh, Keane has always had an eye for goal and a decent record in the Premier League. 15+ is a bit much but I reckon a if he played 25+ games he could potentially get double figures.
