Back the team. They played well against a team that could finish top 4.

Football that doesn’t stink the division out
Made as many tackles as anyone on the pitch and won possession 16 times, 6 times more than anyone else on the pitch.

Disappointed? I think he might be gutted. Little chance to gloat and spout the usual negative gibberish
Spence sees NOTHING positive about Albion points won

Actually trying to score goals
Albeit not very successfully at the moment!
I think given our current run of form, and theirs, a point is a good result. The players worked hard, showed determination to get something for the game, and were rewarded with a clean sheet. Our lack of finishing is still a major concern. By the sounds of it Bissouma put in a good performance, deservedly man of the match by all accounts.
There's just something that feels wrong about being "really proud of the lads" and thinking a performance was "immense, fantastic" when we're talking about a 0-0 draw at Wolves (a place at which we have a very good recent record). I mean, it's a game of football, so talk of being 'proud' of a league performance just seems weird to me, anyway. It's the sort of talk that should be reserved for cup games where your team has given it a really good go against a strong opponent from several divisions above, not someone who is in the same division, with no recent history of dominating the English game.

Well said. Really good, enjoyable performance also giving some real positive hope for the short and long term future with Bissouma growing as a player and Mac Allister’s cameo.

And potential. We have the potential to be a much better team as seen in some of our earlier games. Maupay, Connolly, Alzate, Bissouma, Ali J, Lamptey, McAllister feels like it has potential to be really good.

Up to you if you choose not to see how tough that game was for the team in their current run of form. Wolves have only lost to big clubs at home this season. We finished the stronger team and our past record means F All. I too thought it was a fantastic point, we stayed strong and limited a very good team who have been scoring goals for fun to pot shots. I was proud of them
We all react differently, I saw plenty of negative stuff on the match day thread so clearly we are all different

Did you go to last season’s game ? Performance was dreadful and a template for subsequent ultra defensiveness. Today was much better and makes me think we will actually leave our half of the pitch in the remaining games.

As on talk sport commentary Alvin Martin summed up he loves Graham potter's style in trying to win the game not just trying to get a point...all but praise for potter for his subs in a game where we didn't look like a side fighting for their lives at wrong end of table
At this point every game is a cup final, just about 10 times more economically valuable than winning the FA Cup.
And while Wolves got "no recent history of dominating the English game", they are still a very good team. People still see them as this club were Jody Craddock could steal a living for ten years and where everybody was named Kevin or Stephen. Those times are over, they are now a continental style club who will be challenging for big titles if they keep Jorge Mendes happy.

You can’t be rubbish at scoring. You can be rubbish because you haven’t scored when you should have scored. When you have scored you are no longer rubbish.

You could be rubbish at scoring by scoring lots of not very good goals,........
In which case, who would care.
