Wolves kept his registration for about 10 years after he left. They were hoping he'd change his mind but he never did. Him and Dougan were a great combination up front.

I don't buy this " team spirit " guff. Teams with a good team ethos don't fold in the last 15 minutes on a regular basis like we do.

That's the thing - we bring Bell in for Williams, he plays like a drain and next match it's lets bring back Williams, If you rolled them both together you wouldn't have a Billy Wilson or an Alan Wright. Same goes for the midfield, lets swap Evans for Rodwell, Rodwell doesn't play well and lets bring back Evans. Rothwell or Smallwood, Palmer or Conway, Bennett or Smallwood. The manager sees them in training, he must know who's the best.

After a game you can see wether they've got the basics or not. I only had to watch Rhodes once to see he was never going to be fast or like knocking centre halves about.

The problem is at the moment we have all the classic ingredients of a relegation bound team. We find it hard to score goals from open play. The goals, when they do come, aren't shared around the team. We leak goals like a sieve, usually by means of that old chestnut " individual errors ". We don't know what are best team is and we don't really have more than one way of playing. Any manager of our opponents will be able say " What ever the score is in the last 15 minutes keep going lads because this lot are bottlers ". The sooner we get to 50 points the better for me because at this moment it's hard to see where a win will be coming from.

40k plus at home to Bradford the other day.

Peter Knowles packed in football at the height of his career with Wolves to join the JW's. Think of a tall, slimmer version of Dack with pace.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the games last season were we played well for more than 45 minutes. And that was in a crap division.

I agree about the away kit, it's bloody awful. They play in red and white, why can't we play in our usual strip ?

Even if Graham was playing out of his skin why hasn't Brererton been coming on to play in his position when Graham goes off ?

I got a bit of grief for suggesting that we seemed to be building a team of midfield players at the expense of the other ends of the team.

Yeah Jimmy Greaves in his prime was a tremendous finisher. Put him through on goal and you could walk back into your own half and wait to kick off again.

Didn't Tony Field, Terry Garbett and David Bradford follow Ken Furphy over the hill to Sheffield ? Regarding the game we've regressed to the point were we don't know our best 11again and we have no really noticeable method of getting the ball from our box to their box on a regular basis. I think we'll struggle but I'll consider it a success if we manage to play out the last ten minutes or so with the ball more in their half than ours. When you have all your players back in the last third you'll struggle no matter what level you're playing at. It's as simple as that really.

Shape shifting Lizard ? He could do to shape shift into a Championship standard striker ASAP.

We could always do them a swap for that lad we let go for peanuts a few years back.

If I'd a pound for every " top young prospect " that didn't make it I'd be a pretty rich guy,

We're playing a much higher level than last season.

Maupay is one you've missed out.

Maybe, but at least we might get some goals out of those deal. Goals win you games, propel you up the table, excite the fans, put more bums on seat, more dosh in the coffers. It's not a difficult concept to grasp. ' A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush '.

Didn't Big Sam bring in some handy players - Givet who stiffened up the leaky defence and ' Spit ' who gave us an outlet ball.

Yeah, if you need to ' quieten ' an opponent the sooner the better really.

Yes Dack is an Ace, but the rest of his hand doesn't look too clever. There's a lot of Jack's in there.

The like was a mistake on my part. I'll say we are safe when we get to 50 points and it can't come soon enough for me.

It doesn't sound to me like he was consulted much, it was Hobsons choice.

Did you not read the story Kevin Keegan told at his tribunal. How agents were pressurising the Newcastle board to pressurise Keegan take players for them. They didn't have to play them, even in the reserves, just ' park ' them there !
