Kudos to Emery for the second half but I thought he could have changed things earlier without necessarily making subs. Cash and Bailey looked lost first half and we were over-run in midfield. Bailey, while not ripping up any trees second half, upset their stranglehold on the middle of the pitch simply by hugging the touchline.

Coutinho not involved too much but all the play was down our right by then, and Buendia could have set him up for glory with a simple pass but chose to shoot.

A combination of Wolves trying to hold out and Dendoncker coming on allowed everyone else freedom to get forward and we had a good go towards the end after a hard-working performance at Spurs. Bit of rotation Sunday and a chance to get back on track next Friday.

Just got home. I think that can best be summarised as “oh Leon”.

What sorcery is this as well a completely clear run up the M6 and home in an hour and 5 mins.

The M6 was a dream tonight in both directions, the same can't be said for the M56 going home that was shut from J7 - J5 so delaying dropping my younger son off in Manchester. Got home to Rochdale at 01:04 !

Not if you tried to get on at J10 it wasn't. Junction was closed and ironically had to return home via Wolverhampton, passing Molineux!

Male stripper, I'd say. All that muscle & oil. Shame he's so shit at football.

Buendia gave the ball away too many times, but at the end he was still running his socks off .Bailey doesn't have any control on his right foot so easy to see why he stuffed up, he did play much better second half but i am not seeing the speedster I thought he was supposed to be.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I like Dendoncker and thought he did well tonight but he has such a weird run.

I said he looks like Gordon McQueen.

Gordon McQueen is now 70. Another player suffering from shitty vascular dementia due to heading footballs.

Bailey & Buendia just can’t have 2 good games in a row. If we want to improve we need players who can string good games together.

Emery got it wrong at the start but made the changes and the 2nd half was much better.

We really need some players who understand the wide midfield roles.

Wasn’t that confident before the game. Would have taken 1 point before the game as I just knew Wolves were going to give it a go

First half Wolves dominated, 2nd half we did well and maybe could of snatched a win - but a fair result

Thought the Wolves number 3 who came on as sub, looked an excellent player

Ait Nouri. Left midfielder. He’s been good. He won’t be there much longer if he’s got any ambition.

Definitely  a game of two halves. It illustrated  that despite having managerial  tactical nous  we are still cursed with inconsistent  players.

He's the only player they have that I'd take if they were to go down.

[Villafirst]

It's quite evident that we're missing Ramsey's driving runs through the opposition lines. He creates space for others. Emery said he could return for Stevenage and should be available for the Leeds game. It's also evident that we need 2/3 new players in this window.

As bad as we were first half, leggy and sloppy, Wolves were very good, i thought Neves in particular controlled everything from just in front of the defence. They have far too many good players to go down.
Second half much better, more urgency, crisper passing and Emery made the right changes again. Digne had his worst game for us.
Emery likes to play with his right sided player further forward that his left sided player, but unfortunately Bailey is far less effective on the right.
If Ings is going there must be a replacement coming in.
On the whole despite Baileys miss and a not great performance , we go on with one defeat in 5, things still look up for me.

Agree totally regarding Digne and said exactly the same at the game.

We looked tired first half, almost as if we were expecting good to happen rather than making it happen. To be fair to Wolves they out thought us and were slick with their passing. We were fortunate to only be one goal behind at half time. 2nd half showed why we have a good manager in Emery, he changed it by introducing Couthino who made us tick without seeing much of the ball. Also, hooking Luiz who was excellent v Spurs just wasn’t effective in this game, it happens. Thought Collins at the back was very good for them all night. Bailey and that miss at the end, we now know he’s completely left footed. It was really poor,  had he scored it would have been very tough on Wolves. They deserved a point.
