4 - 0 team carried along by yet another big crowd.

Gibbo's team for the first game in the Premiership. There is no choice other than splashing the cash like Forest and Sunderland, otherwise it is just a matter of whether you get more points than Derby did. Rushworth (or someone of equivalent ability. Get the cheque book out) MVE (we can do...

In the last two games Lati has been the one called over by Frank to receive instructions. He appears to have some kind of unspecified authority as the instructions in the case of Southampton had to be concerning the attack - they can't have been purely defensive. Not bad for a bloke barely in...

Can't remember a player with better ability to control a ball in almost any circumstance, no matter what the angle. And with all that upper body strength keep possession.

My MOTM yestetday even ahead of Grimes. Lots of important intevrntions. Surprising pace and dexterity to get that cross in.

EMC one booking and a penalty. Top man

I prefer to see it in a more positive light. There is no point in being boring

Please no Woolfie

You expect more than one good season from a player if his age

Wolves also have quite an "easy" run in. Stranger things have happened. But if the BBC is right, they do not have another Premiership fixture until 10th April

When Northampton played Burton the other week, Brad Collins was in goal at one end and Lee Burge at the other. Since Robins' return we really have had some tripe goalies. O'Brien, Burge, Moore, Collins. Wilson was lucky to play behind the best back 3 ever. Genuinely this is the first year when...

If Thomas is still out I'd go 3 at the back with Bidders rather than Woolfie. I thought Tats was unable to break out from Southampton's grip, so would be inclined to give Esse a start. Happy with a point.

Big hat tip for the designers of both City scarves I own because the wife, who is the fashion gestapo in the house and who also hates football and all things associated, actually likes both of them.

Can't have been much worse than woolfie

Well, I thought that a really good hard competitive game of football. Considerably better than PNE where I lost the will to live after we went 3-0. But they were the better side, in particular their backs had first Wright then Simms always in hand. I don't think Simms got a sniff and nor did...

Harsh on kitching who at least moved the ball out quickly. Woolfie was ball-achingly slow and you can see why Ipswich were happy to be rid of him

Going to be a tough game, they will not come for a draw. We all know that you can lose to almost anyone in this league so you certainly can to a form team like Southampton. We must expect to be under pressure for part of the game and just have to learn to live with it, Rushworth to the rescue...

PNE were absolutely pants. Arguably the worst team we have faced. And that kit! We were playing the Traffic Wardens Social Club. I would have liked a "proper" goal and Simms deserved the second for his stretch. Oh how we have needed Frank. He takes all the pressure off Grimes. Much more a...

It's going to be a bit like Oxford, unless we score early. Labouring against a packed defence. We have not been all that good in that instance lately (see also Swansea). For that reason, play the strongest team - all that rotation stuff is hugely over-egged on here. Frank and Kitching in for...

...surely one for the box marked "fans always over engineer the line ups"
