A bit thick of you to think Robbie Blake was paid what "the average Bolton player" got paid. Gloria.

I wouldn't. No more than the average Bolton player at the time. Gloria.

No need to burst a vessel, " He obviously had something and wasn't on big money." was in reference to Sturridge. Gloria.

What's your point anewman? Gloria.

There wasn't a great deal to lose though was there? He obviously had something and wasn't on big money. Gloria.

anewman, on what level was Sturridge a real gamble? Gloria.

Macheda could be just the nippy, physical sort of striker we need. Oxlade-Chamberlain is reportedly available but is a winger near the top of our priority list? EDIT: Almost forgot - thanks for reading, Gloria.

My feeling when we signed N'Gog was one of disinspiration (is that a word? It is now!). An improvement on KD, I thought, but that's all. He won't ever be seen producing match-turning magic, and how he managed nearly 100 appearances for Liverpool is beyond me, but with a kick up the arse he could be influential. If Coyle drops him, he's a bigger fool than first anticipated. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

Sturridge didn't just bring goals. He brought all round PL quality. An ability to keep the ball as well as win it from deep and attack with it. The Klasnic and Davies partnership has been costing us all season and Coyle can't see it and will no doubt revert to it on Saturday. Neither come with ball holding abilities, meaning each time it goes up to them, it comes straight back in the form of an attacking opposition move, meaning the back line is too often exposed, hence the appalling defensive record. On top of this, neither are the type of players to drop back and win the ball from midfield and attack with it in the way that Sturridge would, meaning we're constantly having to rely on a good pass or cross from which to score. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

Its either all or nothing with Muamba. His being in the side either works like a charm or makes the team entirely dysfunctional. He needs to start against Wolves. Steinsson or Boyata? No real preference. They're both liabilities. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

Will Chelsea look at his last several performances and re-think their decision to cough up ?5m+ to sign him? I personally would. His lacklustre displays of late were even a talking point on Gillette Soccer Saturday yesterday. I've always thought that how well he performs depends entirely on how crucial he feels it is to impress potential buyers at that particular time. You might argue that if that were the case, he'd step up to the plate now, with January being round the corner, but I don't think he's that desperate to go this January. He can stick around and have his choice of most top clubs in Europe in the summer. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

N'Gog's a bad player but he's still got more about him than KD. If he'd started every game this season instead of Davies, we'd have at least 6 more points on the table. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

It would be typical of Coyle to throw Davies back into the team on account of one poor N'Gog performance. It irritates me when people say "Davies causes problems" or "Davies creates chances" or "Davies keeps defenders on their toes", because he doesn't - not anymore. He actually poses less of a physical threat than even Klasnic these days. If we're serious about staying up, he needs to be kept out of the team. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

athywhite, you're the angriest person in the world - a WUM's wet dream. Chill out. I'm a nice person. Gloria.

Gonzo, I'm a season ticket holder. You think I can't handle the sight of shit? Thanks for reading, Gloria.

For the hilarity of how much it manages to wind folk up. But don't tell anyone. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

I think its too late. We've been beaten comfortably by far too many teams that we need to be beating. We're lucky to have 12 points on the board. If we played QPR now, we'd get beat. If we played Stoke at their best, we'd get beat. If we played Blackburn when they had more than 2 fit defenders, we'd get beat. There's a huge lack of Premier League quality throughout the team, on the pitch and on the touchline. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

I don't believe the Muamba change was about Coyle going for the win. Taking Muamba out of the centre and putting MDavies there instead has had a positive effect on many an occasion. On another day, the change would have been fair enough but Muamba was having a good game. And he should have known better than to bring Eagles on of all people. He's like Bambi and we can do without players with his low work rate in games like that. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

I'd partner N'Gog with Tuncay. Klasnic slipped back into lazy ineffective mode yesterday and Davies offers nothing. N'Gog and Tuncay is a partnership that offers plenty of movement. Neither are afraid to drop back into midfield to win possession, both are capable of holding the ball up, and they both do their fair share of running and pressing. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

This means we're gonna have Davies back in the side and probably Ricketts. Because N'gog is only allowed one bad game before he's out for ten and Davies can have ten bad games before he's out for one. Personally, I find it mystifying that he's yet to start Tuncay is his best position. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

If it is true then he is to be commended. It isn't everyday that managers offer to turn their back on a huge compensatory package for the sake of the club. If it's true and it was rejected (managers can walk out when they like - rejected doesn't mean they won't allow him to leave, it means they've asked him to stay as that's what they want) then Gartside is a buffoon. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

You only have to look at what he did when he came on against Blackburn. Its like he revels in undoing any hard work done by the team. Sam Ricketts is a far better option. We must even have some kids that could do a better job. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

That would be a shame. Its been non-stop intellectual BWFC-related debate with everybody since I registered. Its hilarious that you call this a forum that doesn't suffer fools and you've got a moderator that doesn't even know how to ban people. Its probably just as well as he hasn't got a clue how to handle it. He intends to ban me despite being unable to give an example of a red-cardable offence I've committed apart from putting "Thanks for reading" at the end of each post, which has somehow had people seething. But if my head has to roll for the other posters' personality bypass, so be it. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

Its a mystery to many people. Turnover of ?62m is bigger than several clubs in the league which is impressive considering the stature of the club. We're by no means the only club making losses, but we are one of the few making losses with a net spend on players of around zero. Its a certainty that we're underachieving considering the wage bill. For players alone, its reportedly near enough to ?50m which is approximately the median amount for Premiership clubs. So the budget isn't all that slim, and you wouldn't expect a team being paid that much to be the league's easy fixture. Thanks for reading, Gloria.

On what grounds do you intend to ban me? I haven't posted in an aggressive nature. I have 18 posts to my name and cursed just once. I've badmouthed one person who doesn't post on here, gives as good as she gets and wouldn't take it seriously anyway. There are nastier souls you could ban but there wouldn't be many posters left. Thanks for reading, Gloria.
