Another unlucky situation with playing Everton on New years Day is that it is the opening day of the transfer window, which means Landon Donavon can play. Had it been the original date hr wouldn’t have been able to play.

Donovan cant play cos the registration times are not right :). But still more than enough quality to punish us if were complacent

Another good Blog, am not disapointed with the time, can get the game in before heading down to the inlaws,

No 1 Matt, wouldnt worry too much about Donovan, did really well last year for the Toffee’s but hasnt played a competitive game for 5 weeks, so I would think he will be on the bench or will only play 70 mins, be more concerned about Osman and Cahill both under achieved to an extent this year, so they will be looking for a fresh start 2012.

Morning Jarrod.
You think it’s bad for you, I can’t go because of work but then I couldn’t have gone on the original date either. My only hope is a couple of feet of snow.

Think you’re spot on about not taking anybody in this league for granted, we only need to think back to Wigan. The crowd were up for it from before the kick off on Monday and it would be great of it was like that every game.

The atmosphere against Wigan was virtually non existant and I wonder if that was not only due to their lack of support but because many of us thought the result was a foregone conclusion. I also wonder if the players suffer from a similar mindset and under estimated Wigan.

On the transfer front, we’re in the enviable position of only needing to recruit if it improves the squad. We have good cover in goal, Dawson and Tamas at CH, Reid and Jones at RB, reasonable resources in midfield and if either of the strikers is out we revert to 451. LB is the only place we don’t have obvious cover so perhaps a raid for the Italian lad?

Personally, I wont be disappointed if we don’t sign anyone come January, for the first time in a long time the whole squad fills me with confidence that it can do a decent job if called upon on. Of all the players who are first team or on the fringes, I think it would be harsh to single any out as a “real” weak link, they are all capable players.
Its a pity, but if there was a handicap system in place, with points awarded for least money spent, low wage bill etc, and the equating points returned, victories etc, we would be more like top four, if not top, rather than ninth!

Well done in being top of the bottom half at new year. Blah blah.
But,, dont Billy Jones look a total twonk in that headband of his?
Someone should have a word. A football fashion faux pas second to non.

Sorry, my mistake. Second only to Jonas Olsson.
Only Albion. ( and its Blackburn that call Burnley Dingles)

We ‘short-back-and-sides’ merchants don’t need or understand fashion so headbands are for girls in our dated eyes, but the handsome, rugged, brave, highly intelligent chaps mentioned by a well known dog-head on here that cost us hardly a penny piece, have to keep the girls at bay. Their locks are swept back to enable a better choice from the gorgeous talent they attract. I thoroughly understand how this concept is puzzling to a Wulfie who longs to be a Baggie. ‘Baying’ for them is barking at the lamppost they’ve chosen
to despoil.

Lonely, hope you had a nice Christmas mate. Look at the table again, 9th means we’re top half mate not bottom half. Boy its great to be a Baggie!

24 Max,

thanks,I’ve just bought Roger Johnson’s headband off him.

He wore it against the Baggies,but it kept fallin’ over his eyes,so he could never see where Shane Long had gone to.

Well that was his excuse.

Happy new year,mate.

26) you met my girlfriend then?

26 Lonely,

so up to your old tricks again,eh?

You had to try winding-up the Baggie faithful so you could get one more kickin’ before the old year disappears,right?

Well,I know you like being punished,after all,you are a wolves fan so you must be used to suffering by now.

Talking of which,you say you get nervous seeing a 70 year old man with a full head of hair?-

which must explain why the wolves fans look so worried whenever Jody Craddock’s playing….

anyway,happy new year,and tight lines.

(or as you’re livin’ up north,should that be ‘tight wad?’).

31 Lonely,

frequently,and so have the coldstream guards.

(Only joking,I’m sure she’s a very lovely lady,with much higher morals than you,and I admire the fact that she stays strong in the face of adversity.
No one could have foreseen that YOU’d come along and wisk her away to the paradise of Mancunia……:)

p.s.-hope you have a good coming year,maybe we can meet up at The Vine in May,with you celebrating another Wolves survival,and Albion celebrating our place in Europe……..?

What……….?
