John Eustace - our head coach

There's a time and a place for this. In the middle of a 6 game winning streak isn't it - let us enjoy something for once, please. -

I think he's a very good interviewee. He's been very open and honest when talking to the media (i.e. you don't come away from his interviews thinking you watched a different game to him). He has a message and he sticks to it - and actually refers back to it (see him referencing the same message after 3 losses as after 6 wins - togetherness, working hard, need the whole squad etc etc). He also doesn't hang his players out to dry publicly. -

Can he bring his lemon drizzle cake with him? -
Diallo dragged that Sunderland side kicking and screaming to the playoffs. Whenever he turned it on, nobody in the division could live with him.

He has done throughout his career, so yes. -

I think team harmony and spirit would be fine if we brought in a flying winger who would run past his man and score / create goals. -
January Transfer window

I think the opportunity for team to get Travis on the cheap has been and gone. They won't want to pay our asking price for him now. Cantwell hasn't done enough yet to warrant a move - not unless he's pushing for a way out. -

You've got to speak Portuguese to manage Wolves these days. -
January Transfer window

He stopped the bleeding - and was very open and honest about how bad the situation was at the club when he arrived. Transfers out / injuries had weakened the squad significantly and half of them had downed tools after falling out with JDT. He made us very difficult to beat and scraped enough points together to keep us in the league. Job done. -

Stockport won't have a say in the matter. -
But without winning the header, Weimann wouldn't have had the opportunity to 'thump one in from 30 yards on the half volley'. It's a team game, innit.

Could he start for top-of-the-league Liverpool right now? No, probably not, but he wouldn't die wondering that's for sure. -

I think it was to give Eustace a look at Buckley. We were 2-0 up, they were down to 10 and he was played in the 10 position (so really couldn't hurt us defensively). I suspect if we had assurances that the money was to be reinvested we'd move him on in January. -

Travis for mine. Ran his blood to water today. -
Good. Wolves are punching way above their weight and there isn't an English player in sight. Would love to see them relegated.

There still isn't enough pace and width. Dolan and Hedges are good squad players - if they're on your bench you're doing alright. If that's a typical ACD performance then we just need a player on the left to balance it out. Beck scored today, but he's clearly not a winger. Gueye, Ohashi, Cantwell (and hopefully Leonard) will start scoring more regularly if you provide them with service. With our owners I think the best we can hope for is someone like Godo on loan from Fulham. We won't be spending any serious cash. -

We've just spent £1m on a backup GK. -

Nah we're absolutely flying right now. -
Everyone was told exactly what he was when we bought him - a big, athletic, disruptive CF (one who wins headers, holds the ball up and brings others into play) that can't finish. That's exactly what we've seen from him.

The turn of the year are where teams fall away - you play so many games in such a short period of time that if you don't have a strong squad you simply can't keep up. I'm glad Eustace has wracked up so many points so far because I fear for us over the next 6 weeks or so. With regards to transfers - you know it'll be two cheap loans. It's a shame nobody from the Academy is knocking down the door this season.

We need pace. He's not fast enough to warrant the fee they'll want for him. -

You don't half post some daft stuff. They picked up 26 points last season - SIX points adrift of 17th. They embarrassed themselves. -

No it doesn't. Gueye will be desperate for the goal, the Sheff Weds defender will be desperate for it not to be an own goal. Panel doesn't need to meet.
