Not that I am unduly upset over our loss I would say we lost it in mid-field. Okeefe and Guediora might have played too far up field but I am not sure from six thousand miles away ,however, it did seem to me that what ever they did they did not close down the mid-field area . Watson seemed to have the freedom of Wigan!.I believe the secret of success or failure in our future depends on our controlling mid field so we cannot go without Jedi and may be we do need Ward alongside but I would rather have Ward at back now that Parr is crocked. Hope Pulis ponders this situation.

With the crowd against West Brom and yesterday against Wigan its the same sort of income generated by a low key Championship game. When you account for appearance money, bonuses, travel, hotels for players, coaches, board members we probably make a loss being in the cup.
