Like most posters, I thought we were on top right up to our second goal. Then we started giving the ball away continually and Wolves got confidence from it. The goals were absolutely farcical with rank poor defending. Some are saying that Ings and Watkins isn’t working but I say let’s wait till Watkins is in form before we condemn it. Watkins is clearly way out of form at the moment. I don’t blame Smith for the defeat, we just started to play poorly in the last 10 mins

Stems from Mings. We need leadership and he lost his head. Meanwhile our best centre half by a country mile is playing so far right his average starting position is full back.We need a centre half as good as Konsa. Had it with Mings. No more excuses. He's not a top half player and a new centre half should be a top priority.
I don't think we were the better team at all. The warning signs were there in the first half when Traore barged through the whole defence and should have scored. We looked disorganised from the get go.
Don’t think anyone has commented on the possible sending off of Mings. He had already been booked for being a prat. Later, Wolves had been given a goal kick and as he went past the ball, he scooped it up and threw it backwards. If he hadn’t already been booked, the ref would have shown him the yellow card for that. Both Mings and Watkins appear to have gone backwards since they have been in the England squad.

Yes, Traore had one or two runs that were dangerous, but Wolves had nothing else going on in the first half and we had several very smart moves that ended up with goal attempts (the best of which was from Ings and McGinn); we should have been up at halftime.

It does beg the question though why do press conferences why do we bother Listening to them if everything they say is a complete load of bollocksBecause idiotic journalists ask idiotic questions and get bland anti-controversial answers. Unfortunately the media these days is so dumbed down it beggars belief:

That was a glorious chance for Ings before half time. A very good save by their keeper but he should not have had the opportunity. Fine margins.
I was gutted leaving Villa Park I thought at 2-0 with twenty minutes left we had it in the bag but little did I know we implode.
