When you look at the 2 squads there is no way we should be losing to Wolves.
It was the wrong team with the wrong tactics and compounded by the wrong substitutions.
I am afraid that is down to the manager.

The players on the pitch on Friday were more than good enough to beat the worst team in the league. That they didn’t is down to them.
Selection tactics instructions and motivation is down to the manager.
The decision to change them during the game is also down to the manager.

It’s obviously a combination of both. The players user underperforming, but at this specific time the tactical approach feels a bit off. It happens, even with top coaches like Unai.

The important thing is that Friday has to be the collective wake up call that we need to change how we’re going about things. Most apparent is we need to start games much faster and with more intent.

Bloody hell, it’s been like a Victorian melodrama on here last few days.

We’re going through a bad patch. It happens to every club, every season. We’ll be fine.

Nah, I just think it’s a cop out and lets the players off the hook for their poor performance and failure to impose themselves on the game. You don’t get to be third in the table with inept tactics, motivation and selection decisions.

Usually i would agree but our performances most of the season  have been average  to poor. We also went 2 down to salzburgs youngsters lets not forget.

The wolves result was very very worrying. This is a big problem  epic  when you see the fixtures we still have left.

I cannot believe we mustered 1 point vs leeds brentford everton and wolves.

Thats shocking
