How we managed to do that from a position of comfort with 10 mins to go I'll never understand as long as I've got a hole in my rear,
I think yesterday was one of those freak things that happens sometimes. In all honesty I don't really know how it happened. The hope is that it doesn't affect confidence too much going forward.
.On the bright side, if there is one, I wouldn't take a single one of Wolves starting line up and we'll defend better next time out, it cant be worse. On the down side I guess those snow-washed backwards tramps will think they have a rivalry with us again now.

Our defence and pissing around with the ball at the back made it uncomfortable throughout. Wolves never gave up and looked like they wanted it more.
I’m not convinced by Buendia. Feels a bit like the second coming of Carles Gil. Obviously skilful but a bit slow off the mark and easily dispossessed.
Similar collapses in recent years: Home against Leeds 2-3 in Dec 2018 (Roofe winner 95th minute). Home against Liverpool 1-2 in Nov 2019 (Mane winner 94th minute). Typical sitting back instead of attacking, just like yesterday.
I thought we looked relatively comfortable until Podence came on, and if he hadn't, and it had ended 2-0, no one would have complained about the performance. But he made a massive difference, just in terms of unpredictability - it knocked us right out of our rhythm. That shouldn't happen, one tricky player (of his level) shouldn't have that much of an effect.The fact is, they brought on two more attack-minded players on 74 mins to really go for it (with nothing really to lose at 2-0 down), and rather than put our foot on their throat we took off Buendia and put on a slightly more defensive-minded midfielder - that was the big mistake, I think. I don't think it's a formation thing (the formation got us to 2-0 up), I just think the subs made with 15-ish minutes to go paid off hugely for them, and not at all for us. Dean has to take the blame for the subs, even if Cash coming off was forced on him.They had three shots on target in the last 20 mins, and they all went in - that's lightning strike territory.
