People moan about playing it out from the back, well we tried to walk it in at the other end tonight. Quite a few opportunities to have a go, but they pissed about....very frustrating. I might go and find a small animal and kick it(joking, I'll wait until one comes near me rather than go looking)

Won't be looking to watch the highlights that's for certain. Wolves very compact and knew we didn't have the options out wide. Hopefully different once Mitoma & Aningra come back and then Enciso &Fati. Assume March won't be seen this season. ☹️
Set pieces very consistent = no threat.
Positives
. Second clean sheet of the season.
. Not having to queue in the cold at Falmer Station.

Wolves are good but disappointed with that.

RDZ - maybe don't big up JP saying he will attract offers in the summer. He played like a player with ideas above his station. SO many touches highlighted by that chance at the end. Then shoved out left where he had no confidence.

Gross poor tonight. Billy very good.

Oh and if RDZ is the great coach Ferguson seriously needs coaching. His speed of thought is so incredibly slow meaning he can't link play. HE NEEDS coaching. He's getting worse in this area.

I can see why he does it tbh, he looks up and there’s about 6 Wolves players in front of him. No shot however decent is getting past that and trying is stupid.

In general, yes, but I think he did have a clear shot somewhere in the middle of that extended pirouette (albeit he'd probably have had to be psychic to realise in time to get a decent shot off).
I would say that if you've got that many people in front of you then after a couple of turns you'd be better off passing. f*** it, if you nail it straight at one of them you've a chance of a useful rebound.

They had some decent breaks but I actually didn’t think they looked much more likely to score than we did. Apart from once/twice I thought we looked a lot less vulnerable to the counterattacks than we have in the previous games.

We've dropped so many points this year in the league. 6th should be sown up but we haven't got the mentality to get these wins. 2 points from West Ham and Wolves isn't very good. Could have got a spawny 1-0 and got battered in one and have had one more point.

We havent got the mentality? What's that supposed to mean? We've also topped our Europa league group this season. Oh and we're 7th in the league despite all the extra games and injuries. A point from wolves isn't very good? The same wolves that are one of the most in form teams in the league and beat M.City lately?
I'd say our mentality is bloody good re getting points on the board given everything

Some of the comments on here thiseve are absolutely laughable. '6th should be sown up' - christ on a bike

Cold light of day apart from spurs we just ain't been nearly good enough at home since Fulham game in late october.

Brentford we were just lucky it was Vs their reserves

Wolves very organised at the back and very dangerous on the break. They had the better chances and deserved a point IMHO.

Albion didn't have the quality needed to break them down. Nice build-up play, but Pedro just couldn't get his shots away.

Annoying as it was at home, but another clean sheet and we didn't get sucker punched Fulham-style at the end.

I'm fully expecting the lads to take out their frustrations on a leaky Sheffield United defence at the weekend.

Not our usual standard. We seem to have lost our way to the onion bag of late.
We didn’t look like we were going to score, but more concerning, that they did!

A tough one to watch (though tougher to play in) - we yet again find ourselves with good all-round play, and an unwillingness/inability to take attacking chances. I can’t believe (given RDZs ethos) that this is by design, we have to put it down to a bad day at the office.

To forestall Bozza’s next question, two points dropped.

Reminded me a bit of the 4 home games at the start of 2000 pre-lockdown.

Ah nostalgia.


Anyway, better things ahead, they were good at what they were doing ... onwards and upwards.
