I think the best team I saw down VP were Wolves, second half anyway.

Totally agree

Brentford for me, over both games.

Indeed I think Ryan Woods is a quality player.

Walter Zenga was their manager when they turned up at VP.

I'm not convinced by the "mole removal" story. Since when does it leave you with a black eye? And why can't you see a mole on his face in older pics? Not convinced by the rumour about a fight with one of the players either so smeg knows.
I know someone that does some work at a private hospital used a lot by footballers etc. The stitches for one, they're more A&E stitches. Also, the state of the work. I imagine he'd have been paying for it, and it looks a right mess. So I think it's all horseshit. Wonder if he's had a scrap with Hutton and it's all been brushed under the carpet.

I'd hope we attempt to replicate what we did yesterday with Hourihane and Lansbury, getting them a lot higher up the pitch and in the box.  Lansbury has been far too deep and Hourihane shackled, but yesterday they both posed a threat and could have had a couple of goals.

I still didn't think we brought Hogan into it well enough and I think we need more width and pace to do that.

There's been snippets of games where we've got the midfield functioning, but consistency, epecially away from home is our biggest let down.

why Hutton?

Heard this rumour in the ground yesterday - and Hutton was out with (allegedly) two broken ribs. If they were stitches from having moles surgically removed I wouldn't trust the surgeon to sew a button on my shirt, and, as PWS says, looking at earlier pictures of Bruce I can't see any evidence of moles. What we need is a mole in the camp (see what I did there...) to spill the beans

Simple case of 2 + 2 = 5. With Hutton having bashed up ribs and all.

Bruce could be telling the truth, but he looks rough and something just smells a bit fishy about it.
