Felt gutted for him. I though Dann looked out of sorts at first and made a mistake which nearly let WBA score early on. He did improve as the game went on.

Gabbidon has played well this season and is unlucky to lose his place but will no doubt get his chance and is great cover. It great we have quite a few options now all over the park. Our bench looked decent today.

Very unlucky to lose his place IMO but it makes for good competition.

Gabs is a great asset and is still worthy of a place in the 1st team. If he decides to move on (surely not good for the club) he will be in demand and worth a high value transfer. There are a couple in the youth side ready to move up and Gabs mustn't be allowed to deny them reserve team time.

I was thinking about this earlier. Is Innis ready for Premiership? Probably not, being loaned to League Two standard. Maybe in 2 or 3 years, having consolidated on loan to Championship level at least (a la Chalobah at Watford), but between now and then we need a player in his twenties. Gabbidon won't last till 2017. We need more permanent quality, and I trust Pulis' judgement in Dann, even if he takes a while to get to grips.

Dann obviously needs to get an understanding going with DD. Playing him against WBA was a big risk given how well DD and DG have performed. However, after a slow start he started improving and in a few games he will prove to be a very good aquisition.

DG will almost certainly go at the end of this season should we stay up. I expect KG, Moxey, McCarthy, Price, Jerome (loan expiration)and Thomas from the present squad to leave as well. Mariappa is another who may go but this depends on whether TP wants him or Hunt as back up at right back.

TP will bring in five or so new players and we will have a squad looking for mid table safety next season.
