Second yellow.

Rash,stupid tackle for the sending off - clearly p*ssed off like the rest of us. Thought he was one of a very small few to emerge with any credit, otherwise.

Wolves going down by the looks of things. Should never have got rid of Solbakken to employ Dean Saunders.

Emerson Boyce

Carver, Woodman, Stone : Help or Hindrance?

A listless performance/heavy defeat here could cause a bit more vocal dissent on the terraces, I think.

steve wraith ‏@stevewraith 3h Pardew is an easy target. Boards failure to spend in august is to blame for this season nothing else #nufc. Hate this bellend.

He was left on his arse a few times when competing for the ball. He needs to try to stay on his feet. Don't remember that tbh.He does like a slide tackle, but looks a good defender to me.Two great interceptions at the end in quick succession iirc. He's been the best of our january signings. Consistently looks to get forward but rarely caught out positionally, excellent in the air, comfortable on the ball and solid defensively.

Correctly identified what was going wrong at least, changing to 4-3-3 at half time. Was fully expecting (as most on here surely were too) a second half in which we attempted to hold onto our slender lead, and then attempt to hold on to our point. We weren't great by any means in the first half, but we did look like we wanted it more than them. >Insert standard criticism about lack of attacking fluidity, movement and numbers in front of the ball here<. Sad thing is, that was pretty high up there as Pardew away performances go. Delighted with the improvement on this front, though.

His best performance in a while. Not as tall as Ameobi, though, so he had to come off really.

QPR game our best chance of keeping ourselves up rather than relying on the failings of others.

Pretty pissed off at the end there. Being misused.

Pardew's plan B at 70 minutes, game after game. Ridiculous.

Quality today.

We haven't been great, West Brom have been worse. Bit like the derby last weekend.

Sissoko still out of position, by the looks of things.. Always thought WBA looked better as a 4-3-3 earlier in the season than they do as a 4-4-2, but it might get the best out of Brunt and Dorrans. Really not sure what to expect from this at all.

He's one of us. The only 'AC9' I want to see in the years ahead.

I reckon Carroll coming back could well signal a statement of faith in Pardew by the board and a return to 4-4-2.I'm surprised by the turnaround in opinion about having him back. Might make the tactics we currently employ temporarily more effective, but it will only serve to stunt the progress of the team long-term. If Carroll is the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

Will be glad to see him go. Not good enough for WBA, imo.

Right now Luiz is better than all of our centre back options bar Colo. Only going to improve, too.

David Luiz
