Let me start this off. My lazy eyed dog.

What I''m saying is there is no reason to invest in a position that we aren''t going to or looking to improve on when we have a lot of positions we should be focusing on. Not hard to understand really.

I would definitely love to see Naughton back. With Bertrand however, I don''t see him as a step up on Olson so IMO it wouldn''t be worth spending anything on him.

[quote user="SooperHooper"]10 goals in prem under Lambert, remind me how many RVW Hooper & Elmander have again.[/quote] Remind me how Lamberts attacking style of football is working out for him.

Pardew did try and block him from getting to the ball before that and in my opinion got what he deserved in being pushed away. Pardew is a disgraceful excuse of a manager. He doesn''t understand any football etiquette and can''t help himself in situations where he can make a c*ck of himself.

Brilliant in every game he''s played in. Stopped Man City and Spurs from scoring against us and could be key for our survival.

Although we want him back desperately, we cannot rush him back in. If he worsens his injury were in trouble.

Ruddy Martin Yobo Bassong Olson Johnson Tettey Snodgrass Fer Pilkington Ricky Redmond and Hooper to come on 60th minute to attack the tired defence.

It''s very clear what were in a bit of trouble at the moment but I can really see our form changing drastically when Howson comes back. Makes us play much better football and also brings a cracking shot. Personally before he got injured I thought he was our best player. Can''t wait for him to come back.

Bassong got his own back after Bentekes attempt to grab his throat last time. Well in Big Bass.

Have you seen Redmond in the second half of every game hes been taken off in. He ups his work rate as he must have been told by Hughton he is going to be replaced with Pilks.

People who criticise Hughton for taking Redmond off really don''t have a clue what they are talking about. There is obviously a plan in place with Redmond where in the second half he runs until he becomes too tired before being replaced with pilks. This enables Redmond to tire out the other team leaving Pilks to come on and make more of an impact. Next time think before criticising Hughton.

And you can tell everybody, this is Bassong, It''s really quick simple now, he''s quick big and strong, I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind, if I put down in wordsssssss, how wonderful life is when sebs in the worlllldddddd. Thoughts?

Well said Doc. People who slate off a manager who brought in players like Wolfy, Hooper, Bassong, Turner, Whittaker, Fer, Redmond and Olson have problems.

I thought I knew how but I''m not sure on my phone. How do I check my pm''s?

Pm me your number if interested mate

Yeah mate it''s away end and were in a London pub at the moment about 20 mins away from the ground so I can arrange to meet you.

Sorry it''s late but I got a spare ticket it anyone wants it. Face value (£37) for it. Reply if interested.

From bassongs recent injury record, he looks like he''s entering ledley Kingdom. Have the kouyate rumours died down because he would be an excellent signing.

It''s a shame that a few fans had to bring down Bury''s fans reputation like that. Apart from that the Bury fans were very good.

Not sure if their is another post about this but after PIlks heroics tonight, who would you rather see against southhampton? Redmond has pace and offers a lot of excitement throughout the game whereas Pilks can go missing for a large part of games but can pop up with a moment of brilliance. Opinions?

The way our defence sets up is with one quick Center back and one slower, taller Center back. This enables us to win the ball if anyone gets in behind due to bassong a pace whereas turner wins most things in the air. That''s why I can see us playing with Martin and Turner at Center back with Martin acting as the quicker defender.

Good player but wages and ego might be a problem. From what I''ve seen of him he does seem very cocky on the ball and doesnt seem to want to pass. After what I''ve seen of Redmond, he looks like a better option.

I would have kamara back as he is a great athlete, we would get him for a small fee and with game time and experience, he can become a top class player.

Just off the top of my head, mine would be- Kyle walker - all attack and no defence. Looks clumsy in defence and a lot of the time his final ball is weak. Craig Gardner- people go on about the amount of goals he scores but they mostly come from dodgy penalty decisions. Passing range looks weak for a midfielder too. Tom Huddlestone - lazy, weak, doesn''t seem to want to tackle yet he pulls off one good pass in a game and everyone rates him. Jonny Evans - looks far too weak a lot of the time and doesn''t seem to compete for headers. Most of the villa team - if they were as good as people hyped them up to be, they wouldn''t have finished so low. Any I missed?
