What makes it worse is that wolves were absolutely honking - rubbish

Back to the old soumare today - utter garbage like the other 10

Nah you were at the right game mate - it doesn’t get much worse than that

Agreed - his post match interview is bordering on pathetic - so monotone and he actually said they did a lot better second half and were full of effort - again absolute codswallop- that second half is the worst half iv seen for a long time after the first - can’t believe he set them up just not to concede again - sat behind the ball like we were winning - insane

Horrible team selection, horrible tactics and horrible substitutions- as clueless as the players on the pitch unfortunately- a massive part of that defeat sits with him - I had so much hope but red flags all over the place after today - not sure he could have got anymore wrong if he tried - cooper ball at its finest today - we would be absolutely slaughtering cooper if that game was under him - ruud deserves exactly the same heat - garbage and unfortunately to much wrong for me that it already shows he probably isn’t the real deal at all

He had absolutely no chance Saturday with what was available- having to play skip and hamza in any prem starting 11 - nobody is covering that up not even prime pep - first 2 games he showed me enough to stay positive that it’s given us some hope - midfield will be miles better with soumare and winks and let’s hope to the heavens mads makes it - games like Newcastle away won’t decide if we stay in this league - if anything it gave him the opportunity to continue to see the ones that are and are not good enough to be in his squad moving forward and helps him know exactly what is priority in January - Sunday is big for him and us in general as they need to keep that bit of belief they can pick up points against the more average sides - we need to back him - it literally is the only way we stay up

Today will probably be a step to far with the players we have missing- I think it’s all about the ‘how’ today - hopefully ruud can find a way to get that extra few % out of each of them and they give a good account of themselves - Newcastle are very good at home - let’s be honest we would never expect to get anything up there no matter what form we are in (bar 2015 obviously) - don’t get pumped - keep some of the momentum going

Does he improve the 11 - 100% yes - it’s not mega money either and I’d say we probably have it now we are in the new accounting year - every chance he would want to come back - and every chance we want him back - if a deal can be done who knows

I actually agree with most of that however he is a young local lad living his dream and doing his very best for the team he loves - I won’t criticise him to much because of that but yes he is not good enough for this level - I’m happy to go with Ruud though - 2 games and 2 starts and 2 wins - trust the gaffer

Definitely the most instantly likeable since claudio

Bilal and facundo do either side with him in the 10 - perfect

RB CB LB RW CF But no chance we do 5 - I reckon 2 in or 3 at absolute max - 2 full backs and right winger we absolutely 100% need

So it’s gonna be 12.30 then

Goodness me - what a difference a week makes - from the utter loss of hope & complete lack of tactics and man management it takes to be at the elite level to where we stand now a week after Ruud has been in the door - you only have to look at how the players have responded never mind all of us and it’s literally night and day isn’t it - we now believe and so do the players - instant massive decision that we’ve finally got right - we aren’t going to be the best team plenty of times in this league but we now look like a proper team - an identity that will grow and fresh quality to come in January - there is genuine light - Ruud obviously has the stature but he also seems to have that little bit of magic dust about him doesn’t he - we now have a chance - all of us together as one - Ruuuuuuuuuuudddddd

is that more likely than the 12.30 slot for some reason?

absolutely ridiculous how he is currently playing- mom for me against west ham- not quite as good as that yesterday but still did a lot of really really good things and drove us last 20 mins as well- I actually cannot believe its the same bloke but im all in for giving credit when its due and hammering someone when they are consistently below the level- so as of now he is showing he is a damn good prem midfielder - im not sure where thats come from but it has and we should be waxing lyrical about the lad at the minute- if ruud is playing a part in that and his confidence then its a great thing for us - Ruud will absolutely 100% be looking at him with fresh eyes and wanting him signed up for longer- he absolutely looks like every penny of a £30m quid premier league midfielder at the minute- can he sustain that form- who knows- but if he does it goes a long way to keeping us up

Another one that looks a completely different player- was very good at limiting bowen against west ham and did very well yesterday again- need some obvious cover but he is doing a solid job for me at nailing down his starting spot - im loving that him , coady , vesty , soumare and bdr are all showing they have something to offer- great for us squad wise

Ran his socks off - full of energy - gives his all - let’s stick with the positives for today

In Ruud we trust - he will suss the dead wood out very quickly and they won’t get a look in - ayews days could be numbered - faes definitely already sussed- skipp won’t get anywhere near the side after January - nor eduard - mcateer won’t last long either if he plays like that

Proper decent again - a million times better than side show bob - he isn’t a top top defender but the bloke is a proper footballer- for a lad that tall he can play and I mean properly play - long may that partnership with coady continue

Who saw this one coming - not me for one and Im fine to admit it - he looked off the pace in the championship - football really is a funny old game - he was absolutely superb today and on Tuesday - him and vesty actually look decent together- I’m not sure how but it’s true - you’d have thought they would have got ran ragged but the pair of them have been proper decent 2 games in a row - fair play to Connor - cracking bloke - he must be buzzing as surely he must have even thought his time at that level had gone - keep it going lad

100% doesn’t get registered for second half of season no matter if we can’t send him back

Oh - I’m starting to like this one A LOT - looks like he definitely has some tekkers- young , hungry , work rate on Tuesday was phenomenal and boy he can play - potential to be some player this lad - paid similar money to skipp as well Jesus

Just watched that Ruud presser from yesterday beginning to end - I think I love him in a very manly way already - what a breath of fresh air
