Wolves very organised at the back.
Didn't commit miore than 3 to any of their breaks.
Very happy with the clean sheet, as that looked an archetypal 0-1 , when we over -commit

I think the pikeys will fancy there chances. We are perfect for there type of game.
Really what we're missing at the moment
I thought that was a frustrating watch. But think of the poor neutrals......Christ, not a great advert for the Ahem best league in the world. Thud and blunder, honest endeavor blah......
If we're relying on a pint sized sweaty to create and score we may as well think league 1 again, as great as Wee Billy is, he's defensive minded. I know we're depleted and he's doing his best, but quite frankly, he's not an attacking player, like most of our defenders, they get nose bleeds and go all dizzy if they cross the 18 yard line.

In fairness neither of those clubs are yardsticks anymore. I’d love to finish above Villa and West Ham, not the also-rans.

We probably should of lost with wolves having the best chances. Its a point gained despite all that possession but doing nothing with it. They defended bloody well and we weren't going to score all night.

Roberto says the same thing you if we want to be a 'big team'. If we want to be a 'big team' or just bloody better than we are we need to beat Burnley, Sheffield United, Fulham or Wolves at home. We couldn't manage to beat any of these and we need to force the winner (see tonight and Burnley) or shut up shop and not give away cheap goals (see Fulham, Sheffield United).
Am I happy where we are? Of course. We should have more points and be 6th. I'm loving the ride. Don't know why people start flapping around when there is anything negative written.
Wolves were the more genuinely threatening team over the 90. Neto was on a different level.
Our attacking was ponderous, predictable (last 25 minutes we were stuck down the NW corner FFS). Our passing wooden, telegraphed, obvious. Our corners
Felt so sorry for Welbeck, he made countless great runs or was waiting on the shoulder of a lone CB, but the obvious passes never came. Gross, Gilmour instead slowed things down, passed sideways, allowing a defensive 8 to form.
Webster was awful second half, committing by the dugouts, being beaten, springing Neto into acres of space. I’ve never heard the people behind us moan, today was a first, on Webster.
MOTM Hinshelwood.

Some really vitriolic comments here. Pedro, Pervis, Facu, Hinsh, Steele, Lamptey, Fergie etc - we’ve seen better days from all of them but Wolves played well - and tbh, given the number of injuries we still have out we didn’t do badly IMO. Ffs, we can’t even get a full squad of everyone playing in their optimum positions yet.
We always struggle against teams that play smash and grab while sitting deep, we all know this - Both teams deserved the point and I’m happy we came away with one and kept a clean sheet, not conceding any stupid giveaway goals.
Meanwhile, I’m counting the days to the end of February when Fati, Veltman, Mitoma, Encisco and Adringa will all be back.

It's just a bit of venting after a frustrating result. Happens every time and its no big deal
Fulham, Sheff U, Burnley and now Wolves have taken points home by parking the bus and playing on the counter. RDZ, for some reason, has no answer to it. Also see Everton 5-1.
I know we're missing key players but it's just bloody naive at this point.
Ho hum, must be happy because we used to be shit: Withdean, Priestfield, Hereford etc.

Two dreadful PL games in a row for neutrals for us now! I think tonight was worse than West Ham though.
