He's gone to newcastle

Like I said he does divide opinions but I believe he is only second to AJ as our highest premier league goalscorer, I hope this time out has given him his hunger back as I believe under Frank he was never going to prosper.

It was Scott Dann that he mugged.....about the only thing that Villa did all game as I recall (with a shudder).

Glad Tekkers is back, but it gives Roy a wee selection headache.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

I know, we're doing fine accumulating all these points without a striker.

He and the players aren't going to immediately gel together under Roy, but they probably will. Without a striker we've no chance. With one we might do it or run out of time. That's Parish's January headache seeing as it was avoidable, yet again.

The problem was the supply and Benteke being isolated. That wasn't the case at villa.

Good luck Roy. You'll need some.

What I mean and the stat people count as winning differ. I mean we win the ball ultimately as a result of his header, where as they mean he gets his head first to the ball, which results in a misleading stat.

He doesn't take full blame for his inefficacy, it's also how we use him that counts, so it's the managers fault too. I think Roy will make more of him as a ball player and not some beanpole target to always mindlessly hit the ball at like under Frank. That looked to be the case against City.

Ings has not played for over a year and has only made 12 apps since the start of the 2015/16 season.
