Three points would have been nice. No disaster as we're going nowhere this season. We are a work in progress. It will take time for JFH to get us playing with the intensity he wants. But overall tonight have
sounded positive, keep progressing and the results will come. Build momentum towards the
end of the season and keep it going through summer and into next seasons promotion
push.

You do know prem sides go backwards in the 2nd season if they don't go up 1st season?

Only WBA have done it in last 10 years. Statistically about a 3% chance

More likely we'll do a wigan and go down.

You just don't become a better team after losing someone like Austin

Agreed. Many factors though, and we will need to get them all spot on during the summer recruitment to succeed. But building momentum in the final part of this season like under Warnock the season before promotion, can be the platform needed to get it right in the summer.
 
Wolves beating Fulham 3-2 seem to be doing fine without Afobe.

Benik Afobe: Bournemouth sign Wolves striker for about £10m
Bournemouth have signed Wolves striker Benik Afobe for an undisclosed fee, thought to be about £10m.

The 22-year-old has joined the Premier League club on a four-and-a-half-year deal after passing a medical on Sunday.

Afobe arrived at Wolves from Arsenal a year ago and scored 23 goals in 48 games for the Championship side.

He becomes the Cherries' second signing of the January transfer window after fellow forward Juan Iturbe signed on loan from Roma.

"It's been a long time coming," Afobe told the club website. "I have come here and I'm not saying I'm the finished article or the best that I'll ever be, because I know that I've got a lot to work on.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said Afobe would "bring strength, power and hopefully goals", and Cherries chief executive Neill Blake said Afobe's "outstanding progress" has been "difficult to miss".

Howe lost striker Callum Wilson and winger Max Gradel to long-term injuries early this season.

Bournemouth's previous record signing was the £8m paid to Ipswich last summer for defender Tyrone Mings - another long-term injury victim.

Wolves turned down offers from Norwich for Afobe in the summer, but the club "reluctantly" accepted a bid from the Cherries on Saturday.

"Benik has regularly re-stated his desire to leave Wolves and to test himself in the top flight at the earliest opportunity," read a Wolves statement.

"Faced with this difficult situation, and with circumstances now changed for Wolves, Wolves were left with little other option than to reluctantly accept the substantial bid."

And here it is, from micro blogging site Twitter:

Could easily have won, didn't do quite enough. Some semblance of plan and improvement there. Polter's best game so far and MOTM IMO.

Same old, same old. I was busy tonight so wasn't at the game and have no idea how we truly played (apparently a bit better), but at 1-0 I just knew we wouldn't hold the lead. Almost expecting the equaliser. This team just isn't mentally strong enough.

He is pony. Did you see the pass he made that Ied to the goal on Sat? But surely a better option than the hide in plain sight world champion that is Karl Henry

Would love to know if Sandro really is injured. I doubt it. But why not play him?!

Should be Luongo in for Henry and Chery for Fer

Good to see. Too many dark grey ones on here!
 
Would you look at that. Steel myself to go and walk the dog in the cold rain when we are 1 up, come back 1:1. No minerals!
 
Wigan managed to blow a 3-0 lead this evening as Sheff Utd tied them 3-3. Likely the same would happen to us, not sure right now how we would ever accrue a 3-0 lead though.

Burnley seems to be the dark horse in our division, calmly and quietly getting the 5-0 job done at MK Dons.

Bolton are likely to be dead certs for relegation after they enter Administration (almost certain later this week) and suffer the points deduction. That leaves just two relegation places left. It will be interesting to see how this afternoon's best odds of 66/1 for a QPR relegation alter after this evenings usual 85th minute gift/capitulation.

Sky bet 80/1

Didn't impress me at our place at all though.
