Tickets obtained for my sixth away game of this season. Already been to more away games than I managed the whole of last season. I'm not an away member so wondering why the availability of tickets to non-members is higher this season than last?

The Wolves U21s were a team of young players still learning their trade, so not getting over excited from beating them. But still came away from the game happy after seeing so many plus points for us. Elder getting a full 90 minutes under his belt. Collins showing he's capable of scoring the goals we need, he just requires our midfield to supply him the chances. Solid performances from Wilson and Robinson, hopefully they'll both be given more minutes in the team. And finally the most pleasing thing from tonight, seeing how well all our youngsters played. After having our academy ripped apart during administration. The young players we now have at our academy looked much better tonight than those playing for Wolverhampton. Shame all those so excited by the EFL Trophy, that they travelled to Notts County for the previous Trophy game couldn't manage to find their way to Pride Park for tonight's Trophy game. They missed seeing all these plus points, along with some well taken goals.

Who's still here in January, from the likes of Cashin, Bird, Hourihane, Nyambe and John Jules. If Elder and Thompson come off it and no one else goes on the injury list. Will determine who we'll need to bring in But whatever happens, I think we'll still need a strong aggressive box to box midfielder and a big mobil centre forward that's good in the air, can hold on to the ball and can compete physically with opposition centre backs.

He is a slow immobile passenger. His one decent forward pass, that led Bird's second goal, isn't a good enough a return from a player that some posters extol as a championship level player. Two other forward passes where straight to the feet of an opposition player and on one of these occasions, instead of trying to get the ball back he turned towards Nelson gesturing for him to challenge the Northampton player. If has many fans have stated, that they want to see us playing the ball through the middle of the park that will require a mobile midfield unit and it can't afford to be carrying a passenger One moment of magic isn't good enough to warrant his being named in the starting line-up

Most confused, after seeing all the recent posts from the Warne out section, that is his football is boring clueless hoof-ball, lacking in sparkle. So why am I seeing words like treat, enjoy, great entertainment, amazing and playing through midfield, from people describing tonights performance? Could the call for the sacking of Warne, be a little premature? Should we show the same faith, that Clowes has in Warne and give both our full support?
