Realistically? Hughton or Kinnear, take your pick.

GK: Krul RB: R.Taylor CB: Simpson CB: S.Taylor LB: Kadar RM: LuaLua CM: Nolan CM: Butt LM: Pancrate ST: Ranger ST: Lovenkrands bet thats what Chrissy goes for.

Wullie:

No, I made several angry posts about him a few pages back. One moment...

Those player ratings up the page are total bollocks. Carroll and S.Taylor, 7? Fuck off. Both of them were fucking shit for the duration.

?

Chopra. Nah, of course fucking not. Sir Les.

Let's just hope this one lasts longer than 9-12 months, eh?

Yeah, that is pretty bad. A red cross on a white background. Boo. Boo-urns.

Agree. He has pace which is something nearly all of our players (bar Enrique and Lovenkrands) sorely lack. Boyd is a fat goalpoacher who would be useless once promotion is gained, and I never want to see that little shit Chopra darken our door ever again.

A fair few of those were as a wide midfielder as well. I still don't want the little shit back, however.

Guthrie may lose the ball by being bullied, but Nolan's piss poor passing loses it just as much. It's hard to say whether Guthrie would get as many goals in a central role as he's hardly figured there.

Drog-bar!

Spot on with pretty much all of that IMO. Glad your lads had a good time. I agree with all of it except for the bit about Pancrate and LuaLua. I think Hughton just doesn't fancy Kazenga, and to be honest he's been piss poor in the few appearances he's made lately. Pancrate looks good to me, although he's clearly a home player.

Hulse would be excellent in a better team than Derby (plus, they created nowt today - he was playing in midfield pretty much), remember how good he was in the Premiership for Sheffield United? If he wasn't injured with about 11 games to go, I reckon they'd have stayed up that season.

Rob Hulse please.

Taylor is our all action hero, he reminds me of Captain America from Generation Kill You have no idea how angry he makes me. He's a good player but fuck me, his head has either taken a bang or it's swollen just like his stupid chest.

Steven Taylor is the footballing equivalent of Muse. Not bad, quite good at times, but everything is just far too epic, far too over the top. Taylor seems to think he's the captain, always fucking pointing, or shouting, or trying to look like he knows what he's doing. Missing that chance fucked up our last ten minutes, because Taylor kept charging out of defence when he didn't need to and giving away a foul on the halfway line. He winds me up so much, I just wish he'd fuck off and just play football instead of trying to endear himself to the fans.

Steven Taylor was so fucking frustrating, giving away fouls when he didn't need to. The amount of times he does something rash is bloody ridiculous. That missed chance just made him worse as well, going in twice as fucking hard to try and compensate. A complete and utter nugget who needs to be taken down a peg, because the fans all think he's a nugget too.

Simpsons passing in general was rotten today.

I've always had a fairly balanced view of Carroll, but that fucking turgid performance has won me over: I blink Ronaldo, you were right all along. He's piss poor.

Fucking shit tonight, his touch is worse than Shola.

Fucks sake, another two points dropped. Another Christmas, the same old fucking story.
