Tremendous forward display tonight.

The ball sticks to him when it's booted upfront.

If we'd had him in August we'd be where Wolves are now.

I wasn't convinced when he joined us but he's been excellent so far.

Despite Hogan’s recent improvement I prefer Grabban if we play a lone striker. More athletic and aggressive

I was optimistic when he joined. Admittedly after a bit of tinternet research as opposed to my own (lack of) knowledge about him, but he has boosted us and I rate him.

He's obviously a very talented player so you do have to wonder why he's in the Championship on loan and never stays anywhere very long.

Is there any doubt?

O.k Hogan's nicked a few since Xmas but their general hold up play is night and day. Grabban is just a better fit for the way we play.

He’s been a fine addition.

For a guy that hadn't played in weeks before joining us, he looks a different class to most forwards in the division. Far superior player to Hogan.

A run to to the near post to score a goal! Only since once by a Villla player in many a long year since a Joe Cole conversion.

And deliberately standing in an offside position at free kicks and corners and wandering back on at the right moment to take advantage of the new rules.  Horse Face at Manure and Teary Henry Spunkstain were doing this as the soon as the rules changed.

It is an omen, a sign. Auspicious weapons are being forged deep in the bowels of VP and BH, and interlopers and thimble riggers will be put to the sword.  So it is written.

Last season, we had Kodjia scoring loads but nobody else chipping in with anything significant. This season, we've been scoring goals from everywhere but lacked a striker who was scoring every other game. Grabban's showing us what happens when you have both, 11 goals in the last 3 games for the team and 4 in 4 for him. He's made one heck of an impact.

He runs just like Collymore.
