    More shots, more shots on target, more possession, what an afternoon so far.

    I do wish we could get this win.

    Reading, Millwall both losing, Rotherham lost, so just a glimmer of mathematical hope still. Have to beat Bristol to give us any chance Tuesday.

    Shame I couldn't watch the match, sounded like we played pretty well, first 5 minutes aside.
    That was a well earned draw, have to keep it going for a few more points, need at least two to ensure we don't end up with the joint lowest tally.
    Reckon we'll get those easy enough.

    Well earned draw, unfortunate we didn't have somebody with more confidence in front of goal leading the line, could have won otherwise. Im particularly thinking of Nolan suddenly finding him self through on goal and not being able to sort his feet out to shoot, never looked confident he would beat keeper. We were certainly better in the second half, nothing was sticking to Quaner.

    A real real shame that the result leaves us further off the pace.

    I know our problems are huge but I'm sorry WBA sacked Darren Moore after the game, one of the good guys.

    Was unlucky just to not have a few more weeks to keep them up. Now they are shoe-ins for the play offs. There is no justice sometimes.

    We did have Mike but Evans got rid of all of them and replaced them with pub team players because they were cheap, scoring goals has been our downfall all season which is why we are in this mess.

    We just cannot persist like this. Evans needs to take a big hit this summer and back his manager if he is going to turn the club around.

    I thought it was Hurst that sold them all? :p

    Actually had Sears in mind when watching Nolan's shot roll nearer to the corner flag than goal and Jackson running himself into trouble.p

    Spending had got out of control at our level.

    Wolves lost £50 mill ( no typo ) last season alone.

    Sure, we require more investment but it’s getting ridiculous.

    League 1 is a lot better in that regard- not that I’m interested in being there but will have a think and reply more in depth later.

    This is why I’m pleased to hear Lambert talking about playing the young players.

    We can’t carry on the way the club has been run.

    Yeah- I think it’s safe to say the academy and maybe selling assets is a likely outcome.... I don’t like to consider us a feeder club but we are essentially in limbo.

    We can get back to the championship in five years tops, but bar coming back with a quality squad for 2/3 years I do not see how on earth we can get premier league under Evans - the games changed and far too many invest a lot more.

    If Bart is off the wage bill and Harry Wright gets a chance - maybe he is up to it. Woolfy certainly is. It could turn out to be a blessing.

    If we then sell those players though instead of building our own team, forget it.

    There’s no chance in this day and age, a batch of youngsters (sadly) can be kept together for 3/4 years unless we are in the prem.

    Chelsea and clubs like this hoard players, then loan out 40+ a season.

    Sadly, even a Chelsea youth player heading for first team is on more than we pay our highest earner.

    I hate how ££££ modern day football is. Absolutely broken.
