Where was Wolly for the corner. Shocking defending. Imbula needs to wake up

Whelan and Walters should be offered coaching positions when they retire as their attitude and commitment is first class

Great player and great signing at the right time. Gutted for him he could never get his pace back. Shame we won't get to say cheerio to him. Best of luck

Chamberlain for sure. I also enjoyed watching Paul Richardson and Paul Maguire Was just going to post the same Chambo and Golden Boots McGuire as the bloke next to me used to call him. 4 goals against Wolves stands out and a glorious free kick against Leeds which put us 3-0 up in the first half stand out for me

I listen to Talksport bfast on tune in radio when driving home from work in Sydney. It keeps me in touch with what's happening in the UK. I like listening to Brazil and Warnock. I think Stoke get a good run and Dominic Cork always flies the flag for Stoke.

He's bad news ....bad attitude and over-rated . Rubbish. He's off to Spurs, deal already done. Spuds get the player, Albion stay up and are $15m better off and everybody is happy. Anybody from Villa, Norwich, Newcastle or Sunderland we should look at? I can't think of anybody.

BBB. Bring back Bojan. Hopefully he is over whatever was bothering him and will soon be back to his best again

now give diouf a proper run out in the next few games Absolutely right. If Diouf had been playing for the last few games he probably would have been sharp enough to bury one of those two chances in the first half. It's very difficult when you hardly get a game. Totally agree. I was annoyed he missed both chances as its not the first time it's happened however had he been playing regularly and had the sharpness then who knows. In saying that Joselu when he comes on takes his chances. Great performance today and Bojan looked sharp when he came on.

Think Everton away. Let's get at them early. Id like to see Bojan back in the team as he thrives on these sort of games.

Surely when you spend as much together as the players do you have to be able to take criticism and praise from each other. We all agree Wolly was right to give Imbula a kick up the backside and I reckon Butland and Wolly had a private little wager on keeping a clean sheet or something as that 'exchange' was pure banter. There is a healthy team spirit there now. You can bet Liverpool , Leeds and Stoke in the 70's ( read TC's book) all had rows from find to time.

7.5. Too much tinkering with the strikers for my liking. We need to stick with one for the next 3 games at least and I'd say Joselu

39 points. 11 games to go. We have just done the double on two teams. Got to be happy with that . The team looked a bit short of inspiration today. Maybe still a bit tired after a week in the sun and everything that goes with it!!

2,900 sell out for Sat, not much for us to shout about, but we will Have a party mate. Might as well make the best of it. Id love too see as many midlands team in the EPL as possible. Derby, Wolves, Forest etc. my mate from school was a massive Villa fan and I remember going with him to see them v Ipswich in the late 70's I think when it was 1st v 2nd. Great atmosphere. I can also remember seeing them travelling through Stafford to an away game and they always took plenty of support and were always vocal. If you do go down you will be back

Being a Stafford school boy and supporting Stoke I'll never forget the day the Rangers played against Peterborough at the Victoria ground in front of 31,000. I was in the Stoke end and the atmosphere was brilliant. The cup run ended there but on the way they knocked out Stockport, Halifax and Rotherham.

We will win the next three. 1-0, 2-0 & 3-0. Cmon lets get behind the team and stop the negativity it's boring. Years ago Charlton fans wanted Curbishley out and they finished 7th. They got what they wanted and where are they now. Their fans would give their back teeth to be where we are now for FFS.

Who is our goalkeeping coach?

Post by PB1863 on Feb 8, 2016 10:51:21 GMT
From now until the rest of the season. He is the striker who best suits our style or what I think we are aiming for. He links up play well and I think Imbula looks as if he likes to play little give and goes and he can pick a pass and shoot with little or no backlift. Yesterday's little cameo showed what he offers. He is a good age and will develop into a very good and effective player for us. Agreed

We will win all 3. The power of positive thinking needed. We have proved we can beat the best .we beat Liverpool away but the penalty shoot out knocked the stuffing out of us. Two things this week. Give the team the week off to rest and recharge and second agree on a striker and stick with him. I'd say Joselu but I'm sure the board would prefer Diouf.

Post by PB1863 on Feb 7, 2016 6:20:16 GMT
The plan is to chose a striker and give him a few games to play himself in. Every week it's a different player and that's BS. We all know that if you are under that much pressure you can't be yourself. Hughes as a former striker will know that.

I don't think we played that badly today. We are lacking confidence which I can understand after 3 x consec losses 3-0. Our defence which has been strong is leaking goals and you have to say down the middle. We bossed the game but didn't capitalise. I don't think it's smart chopping and changing strikers every game as they start to feel pressure when playing and don't relax for fear of being dropped. The midfield have a bad game and in most cases keep their spot whereas The strikers get dropped after one game. Hard work is what's needed and we can get the season back on track next week and finish higher than 9th.

We have played teams at the wrong time lately. This was always going to be tough as LVG's job was on the line and prior to that Leicester were in need of a win. Earlier in the year we played teams that were going through a rough spot. We can still win 7- 8 games and finish strongly

I'm not sure Diouf would have scored that header. He missed a similar chance against Spurs away.
