I shouldn’t laugh, but…At one point, our forward 3 was Doc,Chiwome and Sarabia.
Unacceptable really and the impact of our financial mis-management has cost us dearly in such a crucial/winnable game.
What are you talking about? Coventry wanted it so much more than us.Can’t fault the effort of the lads but it was a cruel ending in what has so far been a superb season for us.
Agreed, I don't think some of ours left it all out there, to be honest.What are you talking about? Coventry wanted it so much more than us.
Abject from start to finish.
Yeah I've had to calm down and bite my tongue on here but they deserved it and clearly wanted it more.I’ve calmed down a bit so am able to praise Coventry now. They were fantastic today, written off by us since the draw and looked like the PL team on the pitch. Spurned some glorious chances and caused us problems whenever they went forward and had some very clever attacking players supporting Simms.
Very intelligent, competent, dangerous. Thought they were excellent throughout and would have been a travesty to go out.I’ve calmed down a bit so am able to praise Coventry now.

Clear for all to see that we need a lot of depth added this summer. If GON had more senior options, things could have been different today. But this will be a lesson and I think the manager and players can learn from it.The club really did let O’Neil down in Jan. The players let themselves and us down big time today.
A great end to end cup tie that we just came out the wrong side of.

Just everything people predicted and said would happen due to small squad has happened. Almost as if fans saw it coming and it was so obviously a risk. But what do we know!The club really did let O’Neil down in Jan. The players let themselves and us down big time today.
Their manager is clearly experienced and has good squad depth. Think some bottom half prem sides must be eyeing him up, surely? Having said that I know **** all about him or Cov, so...Very intelligent, competent, dangerous. Thought they were excellent throughout and would have been a travesty to go out.
Almost as disappointing as when you were killed off screen between Aliens and Alien 3 you deserved so much more mateI’m still in disbelief, Cov should have had 4 or 5 in fairness but to go 2-1 up with only minutes left to then lose ….I’m numb, as painful as the Watford defeat. What an opportunity missed.
Somehow need to try and avoid anything football related for a while, my love of the FA Cup died today, too many heartbreaks in this competition.
Oh I get the last part 100%. I was so excited to watch that game, so invested while watching it as well. Haven't jumped around so much in ages. Sod's law it was the one time my Mrs decided to watch us with me- but she was getting into it so I hope that continues!First of all congratulations to Coventry fully deserved.
However as undeserved as it was to be 2 -1 we have to be professional, game management and see the game out.
No excuses about injuries we have PL players. Same players more or less won last week. It was a poor performance and lacked any quality apart from RAN.
Got to take it on the chin. 2 week break to recharge. Difficult to process at the moment but this is part of being so emotionally charged to your team.
It's the Wolves way..
From GON today:The club really did let O’Neil down in Jan. The players let themselves and us down big time today.
So we are consistent then?Our best move, maybe our single outstanding move in the entire match, for the second goal, started as a counter attack inside our own half. Other than that, against a reasonably organised team, we looked as clueless as usual against that way of playing.
HAd a feeling we'd used up a big chunk of luck not being 2-0 down to Fulham at HT last week. First half performance as abject as todays, and a first half we've seen many times. One shot on target. And that was even with Neto/Hwang/Cunha fit. Would assume COventry knew how we play, knew our weaknesses.
What I'm getting at is that I don't think we are inconsistent. We consistently struggle to break defensive teams down, while consistently punishing teams who are open and commit forward. Most of us knew today would be a struggle because of that.
I still think we had enough in the squad to win, that tactically we set out wrong and also tend to manage the end of games badly. Luck gets us through some weeks, but not others. Both last week and this, a goal ahead going into injury time and we have lost our structure and seem more keen to put some gloss on by scoring another, than grinding out the result.
That's one of very few positives I'm trying to take from today.I just hope that result, starting 11, subs bench and missed opportunity will finally give Jeff and Fosun the kick in the ***** they bloody well need!
I put £50 on Cov to qualify when we were 2-1 up, to me it was inevitable with the stoppage time.One of my work colleagues had Wolves to win in his acca. I told him it’s a very risky choice betting on us against lower league opposition or teams we are expected to beat. Needless to say I got a whole heap of swear words sent to me as it has ruined his weekend bet already.
Isn't it even worse now v vile as he's suspended.From GON today:
"I knew it would be tough as it was. We have one fit senior attacker fit at the club which is Pablo Sarabia, we used Rayan and we used Mario higher but then we lose them lower."
He is a ****ed as many of us at Fosun I’m sure, but is professional enough not to show it.
Sorry Joao Gomes was a one man midfield I’m at a loss how people aren’t seeing thisExactly. Sa and RAN were the only two out there in old gold and black who looked like PL players.
They are a proper football club, with decent fans imo. They have come back from the brink, so good luck to them.Very intelligent, competent, dangerous. Thought they were excellent throughout and would have been a travesty to go out.
