    18 shots no goals. Played OK. Long change led to less fluidity. We really need Armstrong back.

    This is the team that held City a week ago, we haven’t become relegation fodder overnight.

    We look so much better defensively, but pretty toothless going forward. Ralph needs to get the balance better ASAP.

    I heard St Badger asked Ralph to lose because he is fed up of doing match threads <laugh>

    We will struggle this year as we just aren't creating anything. Redmond, Djenepo and Elyounoussi are just not good enough. We really miss a Lallana/Tadic type i.e someone creative.

    Does anyone know what is wrong with Armstrong? Seems to have been "injured" forever but no indication as to what injury?

    Tino is our only creativity but has nothing to cross to when he gets into a great position. Our front four, regardless of personnel have been truely hopeless.
    What has Tella done to Ralph?

    Don't have a problem with that result to be honest. Not our best performance so far this season (!) and far too many unforced errors. We really need to move the ball faster.

    As for Wolves, despite being a cheating b*stard, Raul was the best player on the pitch and took the goal really well. Watched it several times now and can't really fault our defenders who committed about the right time but were beaten by the dummy. Wolves defended well and their keeper was MOTM for me. It was not that we fluffed our chances - more that Wolves defenders fought really well to keep us out.

    While we really have improved defensively, if we cant score, it will be difficult. Can't wait for the return of our #1 Armstrong, to help things happen further up the pitch.

    Disappointing result today against a poor team, who will be among the strugglers themselves.

    Trouble is we had 2 centrebacks and a defensive midfielder as our playmakers.

    Oh and the whole team slowed down to make Elyounoussi feel better about himself.

    I mean, that was a good result, but it’s sad that we are championing a 0-0 draw. We also couldn’t beat Sheffield Utd over 90 mins, and no goals in the league in three games. On top of our dreadful form since January. Let’s face it, our survival depends on teams being worse than us.

    Yep, apart from one piece of shoddy defending from a kick from their GK we were solid enough. The problem is that our supposed creative players are just not creative enough and we no longer have Danny to create a goal for himself. It must be a decent option to start Tino as the right 10 at least until Stuey is available and Tella must start the next game instead of Redders.

    Che Adams needing to learn the offside rule is still a thing.

    Yeah we definitely haven’t become relegation fodder over night, we have been since the start of the season. We were 5th faves to go down with the bookies at the start, I’d say that puts us firmly in the mix.

    Yes we’ve had some good unexpected results but games like today are the ones you need to win to really pull away, draw to stay above the line and not lose. It’s only one game of course but if results like this become regular then we will go down.

    The performance was very much like last season (second half), dominated for large spells without really creating anything. Concede to a massive defensive **** up then look toothless for the rest of the game.

    I'm sorry but two CBs have to deal with a long punt from the GK to a lone striker it was really poor from Bedders particularly.
