Rickie Lambert's clearly still able to hold it up intelligently but he doesn't half plod about. EDIT: 2-0. Bamba from barely a yard out.

We were without Kayal and Stephens in the respective fixture last season and struggled big time for any sort of creativity/drive from midfield. Funnily enough we may well be without both tomorrow too (Kayal injured, Stephens back after a suspension) but we have better back-up options now in...

Jerome Abraham

Ben Pearson's an interesting looking footballer. Refreshingly ungroomed, in a Paddy McCourt sort of way.

Some strike, but unfair on Wolves. They've been decent second half, should've had a couple. EDIT: there's one back..

Swift

Glenn Murray - potentially the 20+ goal striker we've been needing to help us over the line these past few seasons. Pretty much the player we remember, just better and with more experience. Great hold-up, often unplayable on the air. Shane Duffy - came in at a pretty crucial time when Dunk was...

Back to something approaching our best today, felt more like last season with Knockaert at the heart of a fine breakaway goal for the opener. Duffy settling in at the back and Murray amongst the goals again having had a quiet few games previous (he should've had 3 or 4 really). It's all looking...

Hernandez Cairney

Fletcher

That Mooy guy, doesn't look like he should be any good, but boy does he he know how to locate the space in midfield and get on the ball with proper frequency. He didn't cause much damage in the end (the forwards he was feeding were kept relatively quiet) but I can't recall an opposition player...

^ You guessed it. Phew, big win to get things back on track. Required an absolute howler from Ward but we will take it.

If we struggled to contain a youthful and energetic Brentford on Sat I do fear for us slightly tomorrow. But at the same it was our first home defeat in bloody ages and I'd expect (or hope) Hughton will get the necessary reaction from the side as we haven't just become shit overnight...

We really weren't at the races, so many individuals well below par. Hogan took his goals very well and was impressed with Brentford's pace and movement. Would like to put it down to a bad day at the office as far as we're concerned but a little worried by the recent run. Need Stephens and...

Howson Bodvarsson

We are actually looking much healthier on the injury front now, it's just if any of Goldson, Hunemeier or March come back into the fold they're gonna be short on match practise, having been out for so long. (The signing of Duffy to partner Dunk lessens the need anyway) For us it's mainly a...

How exactly has he managed to get this reputation of being a player who should be starring for a top European club? If he produced what he's capable of on anything close to a consistent basis, then perhaps, but he seems to have done near enough sod all for quite some time. 1 goal all of last...

We've spent around £5-6m on fees, though this summer was always going to be about keeping the squad together which, thankfully, we're looking on track to do. Still a striker short, mind. Just signed WBA left back Pocognoli on a season-long loan as competition for Bong. Much needed going on the...

Boom - have some of that Championship :box: (It's us who've had the bid accepted btw, JJH's post makes it sound like Blackburn have bid for their own player)

We're either gonna be giving a youngster their debut at RB/CB or starting Ince (not a CB) alongside Dunk, so despite the injury news on your strikers, I'm still not particularly confident. If Stephens returns to the midfield though I'd definitely give us a chance.
