Haha. If anything sums up our luck against Albion.

Unlucky lads, absolutely outclassed them.

Still…at least they have a season of Steve Bruce and The Championship to look forward to. And it seems like their total footballing philosophy is running strong through the age groups…

Our penalties really were awful. The keeper kept us in the shoot out. He was excellent.

There's never an excuse for missing the goal. If the keeper saves then fair enough but hard and on target please. If you're hitting the crossbar you're doing it wrong.

Will be character building for the boys.

How the **** have we not won that game??!

Answer: despite being by far the better team, we’re just not good enough in front of goal. And that goes for open play and from the penalty spot.

Proud of those lads. Some really good performances and dominated the game. It was like watching a Prem side playing good football against a bunch of big Champ cloggers hoping for pens. Disappointing to miss 3 in the 5,I'd have put my house on Shabani, still in the end we're much the better side and that's what really matters at this level.

Lack of bottle a running theme it seems

Lack of finishing the main thing. Must have had 4 or 5 clear chances to shoot in the game, instead overplayed trying another pass.

This is why I always go on and on about similar with the first team. Even if we got that pacey CH and dynamic attacking CM, what you'd see is much like what we saw tonight (and in the first few matches of the season). Loads of chances wasted and hit by the sucker punch. Get that clinical striker first else the rest is pointless.

Tried to be too neat in both situations

Runs through both teams, pure bottlers. Sondergaard superb saves. Wtf was that from Shabani, Perry and Cundle??

LEARN TO SHOOT

During the game. Very good performance but shoot, shoot, shoot . You can NOT score without directing the ball towards the goal. I do not know if this is trained for at Wolves!

Pens a lottery; you are silly if you do not need to too buy a ticket and get involved.

I agree. That’s the whole point of the U23s. They played some lovely football tonight.

We play all that football to score then they put in a bad throw, flick it on and shoot for the same outcome :D

As I said previously, in the bigger picture we're fine as our players are a lot better as footballers but the lack of physicality and ruthlessness that seems to run throughout the club is a concern.

Played some lovely stuff but we were poor in both boxes and the penalties are some of the worst I’ve ever seen.
