Game still underway. Covering for Frisco.

 

[Womble19]

Sako... cassidy...doyle...hennessy... edwards.....

Useless

 

[Starsky]

Vedict:same as the last 3 months.

 

[BlahBlah]

First game I've watched for months.
Utter garbage.

 

[Ponty]

Forward needed or it’s POs.

 

[Jonzy54]

$$$$ right off

 

[Stratman Wolves]

Wow. This was bad. Forget automatic promotion, we're fighting for a playoff spot.

 

[MolineuxMixer]

$$$$ the lot of them!

 

[Starsky]

We'll go nowhere under this utter duffer of a manager.

 

[1908radford]

Just listened to the last 20 mins hear gills mentioned once....ffs
Gutted!

 

[OCD Wolf]

Abject

 

[Paul76]

Pedestrian, predictable and down right disgusting.

There is absolutely no way we're going to finish in the top 2.

We're Toothless.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Times up Kenny

 

[david.cooke.96343]

Get McKay now

 

[wolf of sedgley]

It's like last season all over again. Reach Xmas and it all goes to $$$$. Oh, and Edwards is still here. What a $$$$ing success he has been.

 

[wolf of sedgley]

We'll be stuck in this division for years. A complete loser of a club.

 

[Deleted member 4023]

Something is seriously wrong at our club

 

[itsmee]

We $$$$ed all over them spart from pitting it in the net.
Typical wolves loss
Im $$$$ed and $$$$ed off
Sort it out kj

 

[Keano17]

I finally got to witness this dip in form.

Absolute rubbish. Rarely forced a save from their keeper, Doyle, Edwards did nothing, elokoni is stealing a living.

The main thing was our lack of urgency and a woeful final ball. Sako was the main culprit.

Henry, Jacobs and McDonald played well but that was a very poor performance.

 

[OCD Wolf]

We're a mid table division three side. Nothing more. Cheers Jez. Cheers Steve.

 

[cobweb]

We didn't really have many if any clear cut chances all match so I wouldn't say we were unlucky (which is i imagine what jackett will allude to)

For me, the body language of the players is all wrong. They don't play like they're happy or confident.

 

[JOSWolf]

Verdict = What the $$$$ are you doing Jackett?

 

[PREM.L.L]

$$$$hole pitch and we got done.

Yeah lets sack another manager, utter gimps on here.

 

[Edgmond Wolf]

Dominated for 90 minutes

Can't score

Lose in last minute

[david.cooke.96343]

Coming down with the Christmas decs

 

[Linwolf]

Poor conditions but just utter garbage. Sako wtf?

 

[Big Mack]

We've been found out. We rode our luck for nearly the first half of the season but teams know how to play against us. Know we can't score and can even time Sako's switching of wings to the second. The only way is down. Connor/Solbakken/Saunders/Jackett.... not one of them has managed to sort our failings. Pathetic.

 

[Sketchead]

Lack of quality in the final third really disappointing.

 

[dingle01902]

Spineless and $$$$ing clueless. Sako can $$$$ off now. Ive seen the last 4 games on the trot and am yet to see him put in a decent cross culminating in the $$$$ second half of jizz he produced tonight. How many times has been said that Rickettes is no right back and tonight he costs us the goal failing to clear when the ball bounced off him. Baath could have cost us earlier with his pussyfooting around that lead to the shot off the post.

No credit to anyone tonight least of all the Coat. We ARE going backwards and the slide is getting faster.
Time for Morgan, Moxey and all of the $$$$ wits they have appointed to clear off.

 

[Ponty]

Too many balls into the box played with no conviction. Sako, Henry, Jacobs, Doyle, MacDonald all guilty. If they had someone leading the line they might try and pick him out but with Doyle and Griffiths up front there’s no focus to the attack.

 

[Starsky]

These sides need to stop trying so hard against us.

It's not fair eh Kenny?

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

First half against Orient was some of the best football I've seen us play for a while.

Second half today some of the most average football I've seen as any level.

Automatic promotion? No chance without a serious influx of players.

Hennessey & Doyle (goodbye).

Fair play to those who went tonight, I'm fuming dread to think how you feel!

Positives? McCarey looks solid. Elokobi showed glimpses he can play football again. McDonald oozes class whenever I see him. Batth by in large looked quite comfortable against some tough pressure.

Negatives? Sako - awful selfish performance. Doyle, used to love him but £30k p/w for that?! Time to go! I generally support our youngsters but have seen little to justify Cassidy's inclusion!

They hit the post& had more desire to win

 

[MolineuxMixer]

We huffed and we puffed... same old $$$$ing story just under another $$$$ing useless manager!

 

[Paul76]

Did the keeper make a save?

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

What were we told by the usual suspects on here "listen to the voice of reason and keep the faith"

Just shows how completely deluded the happy clappers are.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Ok first half but played within ourselves. Not enough tempo or urgency.

Second half. Absolutely dire.

McCarey 6 - Did ok on his debut
Ricketts 5
Batth 5 - always uneasy whenever anybody runs at him
Elokobi 5
Golbourne 6
Henry 6
Edwards 6
McDonald 7
Jacobs 6 - tried to make things happen but poor choices in the second half
Sako 5 - decent first half. Atrocious second
Doyle 5 - Anonymous. Gave possession away with each of his first three touches. The lone striker performances of his first 18 months are a distant memory.

Griffiths 6 - At least he got into goalscoring positions.

So frustrating and depressing.

Just don't know what the answer is.

I do know, Doyle is Deffo not it.

 

[Moira Stewart]

Football can be a tough game sometimes. Simply heartbreaking.
