Another great piece that could have come from the pages of A Load of Bull circa 1990. I still argue that we need a big lump in midfield who can head the ball and offer protection at corners. Step forward Boubacar Traore, who could have a key role in the second half of the season, now that he is approaching full fitness. Wolves have finally signed a tall defender (Agbadou) who will also help at corners. I am fed up of seeing us bullied at set-pieces so Agbadou and Traore, if selected, will go someway to 'turning the corner'. However, Newcastle, last night in the cup, looked enormous to me so I am worried about our game next week.

A great assessment of where we are with Pereira and where we need to go. Good to hear we’re talking about ‘defenders’ once more and the head coach and his team preparing for, and deciding tactics, match-by-match. A few more like Agbadou defending set pieces - big, physical and effective in the air - along with the likes of the brilliant Semedo will redress the balance of the team. It will also give Sa the cover that he has been denied and allow him to continue to develop his match play as an attack stimulator and not a sometimes panic-stricken stopper.
