Awful second half

I’m not sure, other than Jack and occasionally Ollie we have anybody in our team who can consistently beat an opponent in the danger areas and create anything. It’s all sideways, back and hopeful long balls. Oh for Tony Morley or Ash Young.

Trez and Bertie were poor tonight as usual. Both not good enough

Enjoyed the season immensely but I’d be happy for it to finish now as I fear we will slide further down the table

A draw was a fair result I think.
Excellent first half, but a poor second with our midfield disappearing with the Sanson injury.

If there is money available in the summer, we need to be spending big on a striker. No pissing about.
That’s no reflection on Watkins who was superb in the first half, and worked his bollocks off is the second, but the kid needs help. Davis is not that help and who knows if Wes will ever play again.

A fair result.  For every bit we were good in the first half the second half was the opposite.  Shame that Sanson was injured - he must be a first choice starter going forward.  Barkley - How many opportunities will he have and spurn?  And as for Keinan Davis - I understand why he was put on but it was embarrassing.  You need to look elsewhere Dean because Davis is never the answer.  Happy we are safe and can surely now experiment but we need to recognise that there is a lot of work still to do.

Wolves are a very limited side this year and their better players, neves, Johnny, Moutinhio , Traore, actually did nothing much today, netto was dangerous. We were much better team first half and all they did 2nd half was Step up the field 10 yards and we couldn’t react, very disappointing on that front.  We couldn’t string two passes together, never mind create chances, as well as luiz and McGinn played first half, they completely disappeared 2nd half. Traore was woeful, Trez just mad, giving free kicks away everywhere.  Barkley zero confidence, defensive wise, all did well enough, Elmo got worse as it went on, EMI is world class.
Sanson was tidy, like him. Watkins is far too isolated without Grealish. Pointed gained given how shite the 2nd half was

Thought we were decent first half but totally lost our way second.

Defence very good again but forward players bar Watkins just do not do enough and are really costing us.

4 goals in 7 games tells you where our problems lie.

Yep.
In the big picture a fair result and bits to praise but bits to bitch about.

Let's face it, not losing is always your starting point.

No drama. As the kids say.

One massive plus for me.
Two years ago I was looking at Wolves with a little bit of jealousy and thinking how far behind them we were.

It’s only taken two years and we have gone past them.

Once again we fail to take advantage of games in hand .......whilst we are still perhaps ahead of where we expected to be after last season it is so galling to see us fail to take advantage and push on by winning the games in hand .....being a Villa fan is so fucking frustrating ....and before anyone reminds me of the Liverpool score earlier this season just look how they have imploded ......not beating Sheffield, Brighton, Burnley and now Wolves indicates we are too inconsistent to warrant a Top 8 spot
Right now we are little bit meh :(

40 points in March. Progress.

It is but feels like a letdown with the performances since Burnley first half. We look knackered, short of ideas or any sort of flair

We have no forwards except for Watkins. We will have to put up with this for the rest of the season. Good job the goalkeeper and defence were superb again.

this result at half time I would have thought it two points lost

Full time about right

Congratulations to the side for getting to 40 points.
We're below par because of Jacks absence but impressive progress has been made by the club.

Well 40 points in Premier League. Last time we reached this milestone was under Houlier/McAlistair.
