Wolverhampton Wanderers v Derby County

[Sexydadbod]

Rowettball won’t work against a good team like Wolves. A 1-0 defeat would be a good result for us to not hurt confidence. Not a single one of our players would get into their team. 

This game is about not getting embarrassed and then move on to the Burton game.

It’s a shame because we look confident enough on the ball. Could do with a bit more aggression and arrogance. 

Absolutely. We have some decent footballers who can pass and play well. Should play to our strengths but also push them. Too passive. 

Plenty of time to get back though.

Christ can we stop standing offside man, it’s hard enough as it is

don't worry guys - wolves won't win this. free flowing attacking football doesn't work anymore in the championship remember.

Never has apparently. 

It's boring anyway. Not exciting like us

[Gritstone Ram]

Lawrence running forward with the ball needed a quick ball forward to a runner but he stops and passes sideways it breaks the move down.

[Sith Happens]

At least our kit looks better. 

[AndyinLiverpool]

Blimey, we are so cowardly.

Oh come on, it's the Championship and Wolves aren't Barcelona. They've lost six games this season which is hardly a really low figure for the league winners. Reading went through the season only losing twice, so it's hardly as if Wolves are of a quality this league has never seen before. They're very comfortable, I'll admit that, but so far they've had one clear chance and scored from it. If it wasn't for that lapse in judgement and concentration, we'd be praising the team for how well we're doing so far. If we're going to play for a 1-0 defeat against a side from the same division we may as well just forfeit and go home now.

Don't worry Gary has a plan! He's bringing Jerome on on 76min and Palmer 10mins later.

Looking clueless

They are a better, quicker team than us. If we go chasing everywhere they will cut us open. We need to stay in the game, pressure the ball at the right times and nick a goal from somewhere., perhaps a set piece

Wouldn't go mad unless/until we go 2 down.

Baird's having a good game today.

"Not playing like team with a free hit" bang on.

[Phuket Ram]

I guess this is what Rowett meant by no pressure....

Said from the minute go we’ve come out like it’s a pre season friendly, no energy or tempo whatsoever

I'm already embarrassed for what it's worth. 

[QuitYourJibbaJivin]

Pathetic 

[blackNwhites]

Don’t normally post in match day threads, just wanted to offer my view on the game.

 

Bit of a stalemate game really, shame Pearce didn’t stay level with Davies for their goal cos I don’t think they’ve been especially great going forwards. Neither have we, hoping we turn up the gears at some point but those moments seem to have disappeared this season.

We simply don’t have the players to be aggressive against them. If we do try to play open, they could embarrass us.

Carson still POTS for me
