Wolverhampton Wanderers v Derby County

[PodgeyRam]

This is when Rowett really gets on my nerves.

It's obvious this isn't working - we've barely had a shot on goal all game. We're 2-0 down.

What does he lose by chucking Thomas on and giving him a chance to impress? Nothing. 

[North East Ram]

The 'optimists' are creeping back on now they know we've lost but can anyone say tonight has been good in the slightest? No fight and no chance. We could've had a right go but no, sat back and sacked it off. What is our actual plan and style? In the last 4 months we've beat some relegation fodder and generally got worse.

“Where’s the energy?” Damn right imo, knew we were gonna lose, but we haven’t given it a go. Not at all

[AdamRam]

How long do we have to put up with anti football rubbish, CB to CB then hoof to a player standing 40 yards away from anyone else surrounded by Wolves players.  This reminds me of when Conte set Chelsea up with the intention of conserving the goal difference against City, expect that we seem to do it every week.

It’s not fun, it’s tedious boring and surely even the forum PR machine can’t say they enjoy watching this.

Didn't say that. I just think that there isn't much point in being so upset about a predictable result. Wolves are filled with top top players. Neves will be in the Champions League soon enough. I won't be on the negative bandwagon for this game, because I don't think it's justified. I was absolutely seething at the Sunderland result, but we're away to top of the league. 

By your logic Sunderland had no right to beat us at ours what with us being in the play offs and them being second bottom of the league. But guess what, they rolled up their sleeves and gave it a go and what happened ? 

Have we given it a go all night ? I don’t think so. Man, we’re poor. 

[AndyinLiverpool]

Apparently, 'hitting them on the counter' now involves dawdling, allowing the 6 or 7 opposition players behind you to get goal side.

Vids and Lawrence down great

Bit different playing school football and playing vs top quality players. Top players find space. It's why they're so well paid.

So are our players. We should defend set pieces better. 

[Nuwtfly]

Where is the energy? Where is the effort?

Fair play to you if you’ve paid money and travelled to Wolverhampton to watch us play like this.

Because it's really simple to get the better of a top side, and dominate them in midfield and create chances like our fans want/expect. We're poor. I agree. However, I think we're just against opposition a level above us.

Ok, lads. Time to spring into action and give them a bit of a game.

It is, as Elvis used to say, now or never.

I was thinking with some of our squad...return to sender might be better.

[PistoldPete2]

Oh no we should have played the kids , hope this isn't the george thorne moment of 2016... Vydra and Lawrence we need them both.

[AndyinLiverpool]

They are so confident, they are bringing on a 12-year-old.

[ossieram]

No problem losing to a better team, but tonight we have been like a boxer that has entered the ring just to collect a wage.

Its astonishing that Sunderland and wolves have that in common.

 

Yet a lot of other teams don't. You can name bad results for all teams. It isn't exactly a good point.

It's what's really annoyed me tonight. When they scored it was clear we weren't going to succeed with how we set up. When they scored the second, the tie was buried so change it up and protect your better players.

One thing just looking at this game

Its a young well drilled team against a washed up old side with no direction,sad to see

Were probably worse now as than we have been for years

[ram1964]

Just when I thought we had kept our half of the pitch free of rubbish we bring in Jerome ☺☺

[Sexydadbod]

No wonder English football has been poor for years when Rowett is considered one of England’s finest young managers.
