COME ON YOU REDS

What a disappointment that Pards has gone with Iwelumo and not Varney alongside Gray.

LoOkOuT

Yeah, he obviously takes no notice of my opinion!!!

ISawLeaburnScore

for me that's an incredible decision

According to the OS Big Chris offers more defensively.

vancouveraddick

obviously pards thinks that Big Chris might offer more in what's probably going to be a physical contest - Not sure I agree

ISawLeaburnScore

Gray is good enough in the air defensively

As I said in my previous post on the which pair to field... we should be playing our own football, not chopping and changing with a view to a physical game we can't match even with Iwelumo

Bad decision for me, tough on Luke and I hope it's not one to rue with a hoof-filled evening

COYR! Absolutely crucial to win tonight!

Agree ISaw – we should play our own game, especially with Iwelumo's presence on the pitch usually resulting in a long-ball bore fest.

Agree totally on the playing our own football especially at home - I think pards is pensive about this game as we've got so many games at home against the top teams he wants to kick off with a win here - he probably doesn't care how we get it and thus doesn't want to take any chances. I still would have played Varney though.

Preston one up against the baggies

Problem is, Big Chris and Varney hasn´t looked like a great partnership. Big Chris has played better on his own, and Varney´s best with McCloud.
Maybe, Big Chris and Gray looked good in training.

Tough on Varney, but the end of the day, Iwelumo has 9 from 28, Varney 5 from 19, and you have to start the new signing.

Varney to come on for BigChris second half probs


COME ON YOU ADDICKS!!

nights like tonight where the ground can really be made up, tough trips for Watford and West Brom and a chance to draw level with Stoke... genuine hopes for promotion means these chances need to be taken sooner or later

Wolves 1-0 up

I've managed to get TalkSport online but no commentary. Apparently we had a couple of half chances but otherwise not much going on.

No can do overseas. Talk Sport works for me though. Fuller just had an effort under the crossbar. we're getting more into it though. sam had a good effort but deflected off.

Czech_Addick

Stoke had a half-chance but we've had a few good ones, starting to break down a resilient Stoke side according to the TalkSport update.

browny

too many overseas addicks....im jealous

BlackForestReds

BBC suggests we have 62% of the possession...

ISawLeaburnScore

started well, sounds like stoke are coming back into it after we fluffed a few early chances

browny

we always seem to have most of the posession at home but very rarely take advantage.
