Number 6

Ward has been on the bench as the keeper back up all season with injuries to our other keepers. Dunno why so much shade for Ruud on this.

Would your relative view of us and Ipswich have been the same after last weekend's results? "Getting wins" = beating a team in disarray to get their second win of the season.

We haven't looked great all season but have had an ability to keep the points total ticking over. Have managed to avoid being in the relegation zone all season so far and we're nearly halfway through. Just had our second blank of the season. We've been able to find goals. Suring up the defence would do wonders for our results. You haven't got to be good to stay up. Just better than three. 9 wins will be about right and we've got 3 so far. Wolves H, Ipswich H, Southampton H, Palace H, Everton A, West Ham A, Wolves A all give good opportunities and so far we've done alright against our rivals.

Do everything to get him ok for Wolves, he can have the two off after if needed!

Can any of our outfield players do a job in net? Can't be worse.

I don't think Ipswich have more fight that us. They threw away a win in midweek whereas we turned around a 0-2. Well both be volatile due to lack of quality.

Let's be fair, we've got a bottom 3 squad. Just got to hope a couple of well placed additions in January, and an underperforming Wolves mean we can stay up.

Would have preferred the draw but I think this proves that the fixtures were masking it in the first 8 games...Wolves are not a good side and are absolutely in a relegation battle.

Wolves ending in a draw, Mads being a sickness rather than anything more, and this being less than 10 is about the best we can hope for today now I think.

You and me both. Did get Hall in this week at least.

Ait Nouri has picked up a yellow and will be suspended for the game against us next week.

I'm not sure this 11 would get promoted from the Champ tbh.

Danny Ward against a team who is racking up the shots. This is going to be a bloodbath.

Ward. Game over.

People need a reality check with some of these mooted fees.

Love this comment. So annoying that the run of academy products in the match day squad was ended under Cooper. Not saying it should be mandated but we have 9 subs now so we should be looking to have an academy product involved in every match day squad.

Three way scrap between us, Wolves, and Everton sounds about right to me. Personally fancy us to finish ahead of these two too. I If I was picking who would drop then I'd say Wolves currently. The way they imploded against Everton in particular was shocking and it sounds like they're still not making a change after last night.

Nice Christmas off for Gary at least.

GONe. I think those worried about the new manager bounce should feel comfort in how Wolves are playing. They're awful.

I'm impressed with what he's done in a week. There already seems to be a bit more structure, particularly defensively, and that's what we've desperately needed. If we can get a win against Wolves that would see us on or above 17 points from the first half of the season and that seems like a great foundation for survival. Also expecting a much better transfer window with Ruud in place.

Looks like they've been moved from TNT's normal 12.30 Saturday slot. Maybe issues with the volume of European games this season. Some of the kick off times are a joke now, these annoying 8.15s, 8pm boxing day, 7pm Sunday. Just taking the mick out of match going fans again. And with the Sky sports+ thing in the Champ I'm not sure it's much better there now either.

If you delete the guff in the URL after the ? then you can still watch it without downloading it or having an account. I don't think I'd answer Forest to that question to be fair. Man City does seem to obvious answer. League would be more fun without them in it. Edit: the URL it generates when clicking the link above I mean.

Only really get above 0.95 when it's a proper goal line tap in. Palmer against Saints in midweek was around this figure.

They've drawn with us, Saints, Ipswich, and Wolves this season. They were 2-0 up late on against us and Wolves, and also took the lead against Saints. There's an issue there.

I think suggesting he is not Championship level is very unfair to be honest. He doesn't seem to have enough for the Prem but there's a decent Champ player in there I'm sure of it.
