I think he did. Adkins definitely gave him a few opportunities which dried up as soon as Clarke became manager

I think he's looking really fit at the moment as well and stamina to last a full 90 minutes is good

Wouldn't be surprised if Adkins took a punt with him in the summer

Really weak stuff to play a CM out wide just to fit three CMs on the pitch without changing from your default formation. But glad that when McD realises his mistakes he makes the changes. Sometimes think he suffers amnesia though so I expect Williams on the wing in the next game Who would you have ...

Must now make Kuhl fifth or even sixth choice now (as I think Hector is probably ahead of him too)

Thought Brentford and Ipswich were both better. :? Well spotted, unless of course he's seen our future match and they dick us in revenge for the 5-1 dicking earlier in the season. Ipswich caused us more problems defensively than any other team I've seen at the Mad Stad this season. 5-1 totally flat...

He was very good, especially when he went over to the right. Does he partner Gunter when he plays for Wales? Bale one assumes plays on the left. No. Gunter has been playing as one of three centre backs in recent times for Wales. Jazz Richards plays as right wing back. Bale plays a free role down th...

Maneki Neko Looked like he tried to put too much on it when he should have placed it

Looked like he tried to place it in the corner tbf and hence missed the target

How did Vydra and Kermorgant link up? Not much really. Agree with previous comment about Norwood and Evans playing far too deep. Was expecting a lot more from Evans in terms of energy and "box to box". Gunter was dreadful in the first half and until Williams moved into the middle. Better ...

Inauspicious start for George today. Brian's new Hope Akpan perhaps. I expected him to play with a lot more energy and fizz than he did today. Just looked pretty pedestrian. Not better than Norwood, Quinn or Williams.

Vydra is shit. He'll never score. Send him back to Watford. We've got too many loan players. We've got too many foreign players. Piazon and Vydra can't play together. Ferdinand is terrible. Al-Habsi will never save anything. Norwood has no passion. We must play 4-4-2. We must play 4-3-3. We must pl...

Wolves or Villa

What I noticed was that so many passes were intercepted or blocked by Huddersfield. They were so energetic and committed to pressing high up the pitch that we just couldn't get any passing going at all. I guess that comes at a cost though - press high and leave space at the back. Yet overtime we go...

Just watched Vydra's first goal. He is unbelievably quick

No changes again for Brian tonight. Must be playing for a 0-0, and looking to go through on penalties

Al-Habsi, Gunter, Taylor, Cooper, Ferdinand, Norwood (c), Williams, McCleary, Piazon, Robson-Kanu, Vydra.

Subs: Bond, Sa, Fernandez, John, Quinn, Cox, Keown.

Swansea will need another centre forward when they sell Ayew to Sunderland. We all know that's Hal's best position

Brian McDermott So if Sa goes and this chappy goes to the midlands... Our only strikers who are actually at the club are Vydra, Cox & Liburd?

and Samuel - current loan ends 28 Jan - and Novakovich and Cardwell

Hector hasn't been in the match day squad for the past couple of games with Keown being the defensive cover on the bench. Assume it is the result of the 5 loanee rule but is it another sign that he's going back? I guess it's a toss up between him and Fernandez for the last place. Or does Brian want ...

I don't understand why QPR didn't sell in the summer for around £10m rather than keep holding out for £15m. Just cost them around £6m which they could have reinvested anyway in a new striker. Owners clearly have more money than sense.

puts our interest in Kermo into a better context
