Having Willock in there really helps him. Only remember him getting ran once early and after that he was solid, glad he had a good game. Loved his little sorty up front early doors too shame he couldn't hit the target like.

Flip flops and cigar mode today. Or maybe flippers and a smoking snorkel. Either way he ran it and looked absolutely in control throughout, showed his quality. Legend.

Spot on today. Much more like it, the control was back, long may it continue.

Was much more like it today. Thought we controlled it in a fashion similar to last season and never looked in much doubt. Wolves had their best spell early second half and we brought fresh legs on to help see us through, what a rare treat! Willock makes such a difference. There wasn't a bad performance in black and white today but having him in there helps us so much both going backwards and forwards. Tino's goal was magic too. Topped off a great day. Everyone got it spot on, Howe included.

I really like him as a sub against tired legs or seeing a game out. He's got a place in the squad unless we get an FFP-tastic offer imo.

Managed by (Avram) Grant and the club owned by Ashley, of course

Not so much "trivia" but can anyone think of any others that would fit into this "Soaps" team?

The mackem monsoon game could have been the end of Shearer and solidified Gullit's position if we'd won it.

The old classic Wolves (h) 1-1 draw I think.

4 games against City in one season FFS. Can only assume if we weren't shafted out of CL knockout qualification we'd have had a two-legged tie against them to endure so we could round off the half dozen.

Guaranteed if we'd lost that tie last night he'd have pulled ball no. 1 out at home to Coventry.

I fucking hate this season man. What a cunt.

City away FFS. Fuck off.

Here we go. Dave Seaman with the balls.

I felt sorry for him there. He needed a break, quite clearly, so was made to play the whole 120 minutes. Really hope Willock and Anderson can take the burden off him for a while, cut his playing time down, get himself right and come back to his levels where he's useful.

He activated cart horse mode for their goal, not a clue what the fuck he was doing.

Welcome back. Some bollocks to step up and take a pen and it was well struck too. Really hope he can get in the side and provide us with some guile and energy as it's badly lacking.

Rumour has it he's making them jog back to Newcastle behind the coach.

Think Mig is a bit of a flat track bully. His best game in years at the mackems, excellent tonight, scored home and away against League 1 Rochdale and away at Morecambe and Championship WBA under Bruce in our cup run. Seems to do well against the lower league sides.

Only Dubravka and Miggy enhanced their reputations tonight, everyone else was poor to dreadful. Partial exception for Anderson who wasn't on long enough to be tarred with that brush, nice to see him back and lovely pen conversion. Thank fuck, anyway. Can't wait to get City away tomorrow and make the whole effort of tonight absolutely redundant.

Lucky, lucky man to get through that. 120 minutes was the last thing Longstaff, and those of us forced to watch the poor cunt, needed. Subbing Miley on and off whilst the fucker plods through treacle was sheer insanity. He's making some absolutely mental bad calls at the minute, not a clue what the fuck he's doing. We look an absolute mess at the back. He should be given time to turn it around but I really really hope we're in the pit of the trough in terms of performance levels. It's shite, and needs to get better.

Miley subbed on and off before Longstaff is subbed incredible stuff

Was that not handball?!
