Respectable point, really. We always seem to look lacklustre in the game immediately following an international break, but glad we stood strong towards the end and could produce a moment of real quality earlier in the game when we badly needed it.
Villa have plenty about them, pressed very well...
Bit untimely. Bloom will make sure they stump up plenty in compensation or we'll make him serve his 3-month notice period..
Expect Trollope will probably come in to replace him, worked under Hughton at Birmingham & Norwich (alongside CC).
Anything could happen. It's on TV, for starters - we're due a bottlejob on Sky (probably).
In all seriousness, always nice to have a new team visit the Amex.
Yeah Knocky lost his dad today - has had a real tough time of it the poor fella, having also lost his brother a few years back.
Not sure of the likelihood of him featuring on Sat.
I don't see us taking a huge number if I'm honest. 1500 maybe?
Very wary of this one. Saturday was stunningly brilliant, probably our greatest win of the Amex era, but this is just the sort of fixture that'll probably bring us right back down to earth, as the Championship likes to do.
We're...
Fair play Preston. For all that I'm still annoyed we somehow threw those points away against you the other week, you're clearly adept at upsetting the top teams. Grayson will deserve MOTM, especially if you avoid defeat against Newcastle as well (.. please).
Based on the last month or so, Baldock and Sidwell.
Baldock's never really been able to find much scoring form during his two years at the club, for a host of reasons, and many fans (including myself) had hoped we'd find an upgrade on his type of striker in the summer, but he's finally starting...
Did enough, despite a fairly nervy final 5 minutes where Wolves seemed to force about 10 successive corners (with Ikeme coming up for a few of them). Was key to hold on this time after Saturday's ridiculous smash and grab.
8 clean sheets in 13 games for us now, which is pretty impressive...
Dropped crucial points in this fixture last season thanks to an own goal from a home debutant. Probably the one game we lost that we really didn't deserve to. Hope we seek revenge just for that!
Wolves are obviously a completely different prospect this season with Zenga + their array of...
