    Plus another 45 minutes which is even less ideal

    Take 1 1/2 points for winning at half time?

    1-11: **** or anonymous.
    Wolves better than us in every aspect of the game. And we somehow manage to be ahead.
    It's a funny ol' game, Saint!

    If Kane was on we'd be 2 up now

    Someone should be putting that away. Great ball from Tanganga. Nobody gambled.

    Kane would have done, every time.

    1-0 HT. Awful performance.
    Our midfield's non-existent as a creative force and we've got nobody to hold it up at the front.
    The team balance is terrible, which everyone could see in the pre-season matches.

    Absolutely horrendous half and it’s almost embarrassing to be in the lead.

    The team looks like they all played Thursday night and individually the likes of Sanchez, Tanganga and Lucas are having utter mares.

    Kane on at HT, please. We need someone to hold up the ball otherwise it’ll be the same again and I can’t see Wolves not taking at least one chance.

    At this stage, our only hope is that Wolves run out of steam or ideas. Neither seem likely however...

    I would add Reguilon to that list.

    **** me, Alfie. Your stream is even slower than our play that half!

    Trarore's half. I doubt Wolves will keep this up for the second half but if they do you would expect to lose. I expect Spurs to come more into this as the game proceeds.

    Bergwijn's giving him no protection

    A sentence we're getting used to hearing already...

    I can’t see Nuno bringing Kane on unless they score. Which probably will be fairly soon after half time the way things are going.
    What really p*sses me off is the fact they are so much quicker and faster to the ball. They seem to have so much more time. With us it’s a massive struggle to put 3 passes together because they are working so hard. We need to match them for that at least, otherwise it will be a matter of time before we concede.
    And even if we somehow manage to fluke a win today, if we play like this all season we will end up mid table as we won’t always get the rub of the green

    Agreed, but he's making errors in his own box as well. Not all down to others.

    Getting absolutely battered by Traore so far. Need to get Tanganga off and I'd stick Dier out there tbh... well I would but we don't have any CB's on the bench? Where's Rodon and the new lad?

    We definitely need someone to stand off Traore, slow him down and don't let him get up momentum.

    We've got a lot of players who are much better on the front foot, but nobody to put them there.
    There's no playmaker in the midfield and no striker to hold the ball up.
    The formation's wrong and our personnel don't function as a unit.
