Well, that’s the end of the season now bar the shouting. A must not lose, and we lost it. Shot ourselves in the foot in the second half after a very promising performance until then, and got a VAR shafting for good measure - the season in microcosm really. Overplaying at the back was a big...

Dishwater. Sa MOTM. Seeing Cunha probably the highlight of the evening.

What an enormous relief! Huge win that. I could picture those Boggie ****s laughing at us for bottling the chance of a BCD; now I can imagine more than a hint of fear... It’s not a game I can appraise in any sort of depth, having had to rely on Wolves comms – an experience I have not missed...

How are you all enjoying Gazball?

We thankfully didn't roll over against a side who are on another level to even our full strength XI, but I make that 11 of the 25 goals we have conceded (44%) coming in the first 15 minutes of each half. Almost half of our goals conceded have come in that one third of the match. It's a problem...

Albeit with a very limited dataset against the worst side in the league, I felt we instantly looked more comfortable within ourselves after reverting to a back 5 yesterday, and did more than alright at the back seeing as we were down to 10 for 50 minutes. Kilman and Dawson were able to play...

A pretty ugly game between two poor sides who will both be down there in the relegation mix, overseen by yet more dubious officiating and more questionable substitutions by GON. Defended pretty well seeing as we were a man down for quite a long time - albeit against little pressure by a limited...

The first clear managerial failure by Gary O'Neill. After a positive end to the first half against an undeniably good Brighton side, what on Earth did he say to the players at the break to inspire such a lame response? Did he offer any tactical insight in how to exploit Brighton whatsoever, or...

I was holding off on this thread because it seems... sacrosanct, in a way. But we now have apparent confirmation that not only will Lopetegui depart, he will be replaced by Gary O'Neil, a manager with less than a season's experience who was sacked by Bournemouth with a 29% win percentage, and...

Sick and ****ing tired of being cheated by the officials is my verdict. This season is one of the worst I can remember for refereeing. Regardless of how poorly we played, 1-0 up against against ten men with 70 odd minutes left, changes everything. Madeley and VAR have possibly stolen three...

Looks like it was a phone that was stuck in a secret location inside the BBC gantry. And this guy was ringing it remotely! How did it get there??

Thought I'd start a thread, seeing as Romano has (basically) said "Here we go!" A £4.5m initial fee is absolutely incredible business for a player who got 32 goal contributions in 47 games last season, and an extraordinary 40 in 52 in 2019 as a Sevilla player. He's not even a centre forward...

In news that rather took me rather by surprise, big Carl has taken up mixed martial arts, and even won his debut fight! He certainly has the build to do well. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19098684/carl-ikeme-football-cancer-wolves-grappling-mma/ Skip to 44:40 for his fight.

Sheffield United's John Fleck is the latest player to collapse unchallenged with an apparent heart problem. This follows the recent revelation Sergio Aguero will have to retire with heart complications. There seems to have been a spike in players suffering serious heart conditions, Christian...

Not laughed that hard since Junior Hoilett.

Worst performance since Burnley. No shots on target against a newly promoted side with 10 men for the last half hour is unacceptable. We simply cannot defend against strong target men. Coady is a paper captain: great talker until the going gets tough. Toney destroyed him and he hid away when we...

I feel absolutely rotten after that one. Our inability to score after dominating matches is a real cause for concern now, and as much as I hate to admit it, Raul is nowhere near ready.
