Worst half of the season that, absolutely terrible.

Just not sure who will net for us, badly needed Sarabia to come to the party but he's failed to do so.

GON needs to sort it out at halftime. Get this shape right.

Fraser looks like a lost 19 year old who hasn't many senior minutes as much as Silva isn't the answer he would be doing a better job. Cunha on the pitch we look better

We look a team without 4 attackers who have sarabia a creative 10 behind a weak front man

And we are throwing so many defensive bodies forward we look so weak to a direct ball or counterattack toti constantly out of position with ran nearly cf

HT: a high-energy, entertaining cup tie but not good for the nerves. Both teams with chances but Cov’s the clearer. The big worry is our lack of senior options from the bench.

Sarabia needs the ball and people to be moving.

How can you say he hasn't come to the party? We've literally played the whole game down the left, what's he supposed to do? Grab a magic wand and make the ball appear at his feet? lol

He's mostly been down the left with Lemina lol
Should be playing as an orthodox winger. Not sure what we're trying to achieve at the moment. And Lemina out wide is leaving us far too open in midfield.

I’d probably bring Fraser off and push Sarabia up top bring on Traore and try to play through them with Doyle and Gomes with Lemina and Ait Nouri offering support to Pablo.

Think we could see Noha Lemina this second half? Give us some much need pace and something a bit different.

Lucky here so far. We’re too slow in possession and attack but our final ball and decisions in attack are woeful. GON needs to muster up a plan for the 2nd half. I know attack wise we’ve been decimated by injuries but we need to inject more speed into our attacks.

Yeah, I think Wolves actually created more just nothing definitive because we don't have any command in their box.

Coventry had two really good chances, but the rest of their chances weren't worrying.

Played some ok stuff in patches but just don’t have anything up top. Crazy that we’re having to play a not-match-fit 19 year-old who was going out on loan to League One in such a big game.

Doyle and Semedo (and Sa) have been good.

Fair play to Cov. They’ve given it a real go and have more of a threat up top than we do.

Not sure but something is going wrong whether it's his instructions or just the way the players are going about it.

The Mrs is less than pleased with my language...
He's overloading from defence to have more men forward to support Fraser and sarabia but if.you lose the ball you have basically two defenders kilman and Bueno left

Yep- needs to find the right balance, if we keep getting caught on the break they WILL score.

Hard watch. Fraser well out of his depth. Dear Wolves, we have been asking now for 3 years - can we have a CF. Without our forwards we will do well to win this.
I'd rather them play noha lemina to have a real winger we need attacking threat

Time to bring Fletch on, Fraser trying hard, but just not his day. (Watch him score now )

We are lacking pace in attack. To be fair to Fraser he hasnt been given great service. Cant see us scoring unless something changes at half time. We have been very sloppy as well though. Central midfield disappointing and letting Coventry run through us far too easily.

Must do a lot better second half but the worry is where is the firepower?

Only good thing with that first half is that we are not behind scoringwise.
Coventry should be at least one or even two goals up at this stage.
Another "performance" like that second half and we can watch Wembley on the tele.
Awful lack of quality from us thus far.
God only knows what´s to come.

Yeah, when we have some money.

We brought in two last year. Both are injured (one on loan).

Pretty even first half
Just need to get our passing better
Fraser looks lost so will probably get the winner lol
Semedo and Doyle been good, RAN all over the place and Lemina needs to be more central
Usually we are better in second halves,certainly hope so

Just what we all thought would probably happen. A tense frustrating half where we've had a few chances but not really any proper efforts on goal, and lucky not to be at least 1 behind. It's not Frasers fault as he's still so young, but we so desperately need someone with presence and experience up front. Hopefully things will be better 2nd half, although I imagine it'll be more of the same - fingers crossed we nick it with a goal from one piece of quality...

We've really not been that bad and could be winning this if we didn't have Fraser up top. Cov had the better last 10, for sure.

What's the difference between a top championship team and a mid table prem team - normally the quality of the attackers taking half chances. We have the best part of £150m of attacking talent in the treatment room and it really shows. We are lucky to be still in this, but we are because of their championship finishing.

We have nothing up top, so it's going to have to be a quality interchange of passing type goal. We can do that, the question is what happens if we concede a goal, on this showing I can't see us getting back in it.

Big second half coming, and I am not convinced we are going to do it.
