not a bad night out, a fairly decent game but not many signs of improvement to me

on the plus side, i thought Amavi (first half especially) looked decent as did Gueye and Richards (at times) and Kozak took his goals well. Thought Westwood had a decent game too

on the negative side, i thought Hutton, Sinclair and Gabby were absolutely terrible. not sure any of those 3 should be anywhere near our starting 11 next weekend

Had similar thoughts. Though Westwood was very good I thought. Fwd quick passes a lot of the time

I'm not sure what the alternatives to Hutton and Sinclair really are at this stage

Gabby wasn't great but he is an out ball. Perhaps ayew can be a better alternative though I'm anticipating he may be the least successful of our four Frenchmen based on reports

Four Frenchmen? Six, Ginola, Amavi, Veretout?...(Ayew is from Ghana).

Losing two-nil. Blood glory-hunter Cooper will be unbearable.

Just watched first half of wolves game on way home

Quite pleased. Comfortably the better side. Kozak limited but clever and looks on form. Westwood best player on pitch by absolutely miles. I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but I really like him

Dare I say it bacuna was pretty good.

Amavi looks a risk at left back. Doesn't track his man very well at all. And with Sinclair that's a weak link, especially if we don't have three central midfielders to help cover the full backs. I wonder about him in midfield to begin with

Definitely could have done with the touch of quality that Gil or grealish bring

It was 3-0 and that seems to have been the final score.

Seventy-three year-old Tamworth player-manager Andy Morrell got two.
Grealish played just over an hour.

Never mind that, how low have we sunk?
