And already 1 more competitive goal than berahino in a game where he looked unfit, isolated and off the pace.

He has to put a lot more on than yesterday , even Diouf is better on a bad day. The defenders had nothing to do . Compare that with Roof for them who never allowed our players a second to relax .

Yeah, honestly. How long will it take for people to realise that our strides look shit because they’re not supported? Bojan needs to be behind him. GR’s said we looked better once he came on for that reason. Braces ? Ooh you bugger...! I’ve just guffawed in the silent carriage on the 10.56 from Stevenage to Wakefield!

Took the penalty with confidence. As much as every gives dog's abuse to Berahino, I could count the amount of chances he's had created for him in a Stoke shirt on two hands.

Hope so mate! Needs support though; having to beat two men every time and having nobody within 20 yards of him to pass to isn't going to do him any favours.

Very similar to the berahino & diouf saga. If that was berahino up front you would of been tearing him a new one. It simply doesn't work having one up top on his own. This failed last year, the year before and the year before that. Nothing has been learned and nothing has changed.
Aguero wouldn't score if he played up top on his own in our team

It seemed more like we were playing a 4-5-Fifty yards of space-1 today. It's strange because its the same problem we've had since Pulis left, that playing that 1 central striker who seems to be expected to do it all. Either he needs someone like Bojan behind him - although thats risky since Bojan typically needs a true free role to excel or he needs a forward partner. Not someone intermittently coming inside like Ince, or hoping McClean can put in a wonder cross. What amazes me is that for the last 2 1/2 years we’ve only played one up front basically having 9 others behind the ball and we still concede shit loads of goals!

Here is a transcript of emails from this morning with a colleague at our Lichfield branch who is a wolves Fan
Says it all really
him Hope you had a good weekend, was tempted to comment on your facebook re the football – was going to say at least Afobe scored!
Me If the ref hadn’t given us a penalty he would have never scored, he was f###### useless and will fit in with all the other half arsed forwards that we have, it took me 30 minutes to notice that he was even on the pitch…jeez he was dire
him Tbh he’s not a creative player, he relies on the service from around him. He scored some important goals last season but I didn’t want him back permanently. Things as they say can only get better…… Albion lost too and I think teams underestimate the Championship, will be an interesting season all round especially as Villa think they’ve got the right to walk it!

He needs to play off Crouch, really. It's no use just smacking long balls towards him, and that will be even more futile if we also sign somebody like Dwight Gayle.
Where is the coherent transfer strategy?

I thought he was meant to be rapid? That’s how I remember him at Bournemouth. No use just punting the ball up to him, no chance of it sticking. At Bournemouth he scored 10 goals in 63 games.

My conclusion is that he clearly wasn’t fit and I’ll judge him when he is....

It doesn't matter who we bring in upfront, if we keep persevering with 1 up top we will continue to struggle scoring. We haven't got the quality to make the system work and we isolate the lone striker and the fans are quick to label them 'shit'. I think it really is that simple, 2 upfront for the love of god.

No striker would of looked good yesterday.
He had no service at all and was constsntly watching as balls were pinged 20 feet over his head.
Can’t attach any blame to him at all and he clearly wasn’t 100% fit anyway.

Not heard anything mentioned.
