The problem a lot of these players have had is a lack of consistency. When fit, Inoussa was in and out of the side. One week starting, one week getting five minutes off the bench, next week not playing at all. The Championship is arguably one of the hardest, most difficult leagues in the world...

We can get away with playing one of them. Not both.

An word of praise for Sam Parker. He's never impressed me all that much when he's come off the bench to play as a winger, but based on what we saw today and in recent games he's got the makings of a very capable right back.

Looks very Vipi-ish. Not hugely fond of the idea of paying hefty seven figure fees for League One strikers though. This time last year people were demanding that we drop £5m on Richard Kone and he's only scored nine all season with a goals per minute rate almost three times worse than Vipi.

A decent case could probably be made for him being a better finisher the less time that he has to think about it.

His normal scoring rate across his career is basically where he is now. One goal in about every 140-170 minutes of football. Even taking last season into account his overall rate here is a league goal every 171 minutes. The fact that he's scoring "more goals than statistics would suggest" tells...

If he had a brain he could have been one of the best players of his generation. Huge natural talent and an absolute joy to watch when he was on it but not the aptitude to get the best out of the ability he had. When he used to live in/near Glais he could apparently often be found just having a...

Zero experience of anything approaching the skills required for the job. More use to us at present as a player marketing tool, unless he can be pursuaded to play his last season or two here.

Hasn't Idah scored something like four goals in five starts?

Rangers currently second and pushing for the title with the same squad that Russy had down in eighth place.

Yeah. That little tap on Eom's ankle that he rode and carried on running would in all likelihood have sent Ronald crashing to the ground.

Good finish by Vipi, but that's a fabulous break by Eom. Smart use of the ball and a perfect pass through.More evidence as to why he'd be better playing centrally IMO.

The nature of football has changed over the last few years so it's harder for strikers to be as prolific as they were in seasons past. Defences sit deeper, teams don't attack with the same kind of freedom that they used to. You could probably make a case that Vipi's ability outside the box...

Just to put it in perspective, no player managed 20 Championship goals last season. Only two even got close, and they played for teams that eventually got promoted. Vipi's achievement in doing so for a team that's not really hit any kind of consistent form, and with only three penalties in that...

Rangel's achievements on the pitch as a player far outstrip any other RB in the clubs history. It's not even close. Top man too.

Definitely. His one touch layoffs to a player in space have become a notable aspect of his play as the season has progressed. Idah is better at the physical hold up play, which is good because they can complement each other. Shame we didn't get to see more of it and probably won't next season.

But they should at least consider the things that you quite rightly mentioned in your first paragraph. We've seen it happen plenty of times over the years. A lot of people love to slag players off without any kind of consideration to mitigating factors. Vipi was a young lad who had basically...

Are you seriously suggesting that there weren't quite a lot of people queueing up to take a pop at Vipotnik last season?

Fixed that for you.

Nathan Wood's biggest problem is that he hitched his star to Russy. Perhaps the worst possible coach to develop a young defender. Always had the talent for me. Just needed the right manager to bring him along. Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the Prem soon, with Southampton or otherwise.
