They showed some interesting stats on Sky before Saturday's game, one of them was conversion rate, and on 14% we were No 1 in the Championship. Everyone else misses more chances than we do, if we have a lack of firepower, all the other 23 have a bigger lack of firepower, so we don't have a problem. Our fragile CBs and joke keeper worry me far more than any non-existent lack of firepower.

We were exposed on Saturday sinkov, no doubt about it. I'm confident enough in VK's abilities to believe he will find a way to deal with a team made up of pub brawlers.

Also, there can't be many other "Rory Delap" chuck-a-likes in the Championship to match Jack Richardson can there?

Thinking exactly the same thing mon ami, if Tony Pulis had been watching that, he'd have rung Rory up and asked him if wanted to come out of retirement. ;D

I am with you sinkov. I am more concerned about the defence and have been for a while. Whilst Muric has made a few good saves, he does not command his area and instil confidence.

The defenders should watch some clips of how Pope, Tarks and Mee worked together and learn from them on how to defend.

Connor Roberts has a good throw but we don't seem to use it much,probably because of the players we have up front.

It's a $hit way to play football barrie, I suspect VK would not even think of tarnishing the beautiful game in such a way. :O
