Definitely a point gained. Sloppy play and a general lack of urgency. Also we seemed incapable of putting a cross in. Frustrating but better than a loss.
Only watched on a twitchy stream, but seemed very open, too open from our point of view at times. Seemed to be hanging on first half of the second. Still, unbeaten and Wolves will probably be a decent side this year.
Richard Crawley reporting on Twitter that Vetokele was helped off the pitch at the end with his arm being supported and looked to be in agony ??? Anyone know anything
Still unbeaten. Seem to be trying to play the right way. A lot of decent performances, but no standouts. Still seem to be getting to know each other to me, but plenty more to come from a young side.
Only watched online, decent point - looked better when bulot came on and gave us something different attacking wise. I think that although we have had a fantastic start to the season we are desperately shy of a creative midfielder and a forward, although we are trying to pass the ball there seems to be a lack of movement in the final third (Igor aside) and no cutting edge.......I would have loved to have seen Jensen in this team.
Happy with the result, and happy with the league position at this point. But we can't carry on having less than 40pc possession at home this year. We just can't get the ball and when the other team has 10 or 15 chances per game they will score more often than not.
Thought Wilson was back to the pre alright phase tonight and that didn't help young Gomez. Allied to Wiggins getting a roasting and we were getting done out wide.
Not sure about Bulot but it was a short cameo. Just seemed to run after the ball but at least he gave it a go. Think Moussa is worth a shout on Saturday.
Fair result in he end, we did ride our luck. A lack of movement when we had the ball. Stil a win on Saturday will get us back to 2 pts per game and that's promotion form.
Glad to stay unbeaten against a good side, but we could've done more, letting them have so much possession at home, having to defend for long stretches was not optimal, but a good point gained.
And the ref was really, really poor. Not that he made one game-changing decision, he was just inconsistent and gave way too many small fouls to Wolves compared to what we got.
This tactic of conceding the majority of possession is draining our players strength by the end of the game and giving the opposition a bit more...it shouldnt be happening at home
Really worrying that we had very little possession again 39-61 tonight - and Wolves opened us up really easily again. If it continues like that then we will get beat more than we win.But saying that, we are still unbeaten- dont quite know how, but we are.
If you had told me before Saturday that we would be outplayed by Watford and Wolves yet still come away undefeated with four more points I would have taken that all day long but we haven't come to terms that we are punching above our weight.
Tonight wasn't good. We were very negative, continuously passing the ball across the back four and creating very little up front.
Jacko looked off the pace. Gomez wasn't great going forward and Igor desperately needs support from midfield.
On the plus side, our centre halfs were immense again and the support was great but please let's play more positively.
Sounded like the ref was a joke how much did wolves pay him tonight? Still, unbeaten after 7 games and winnable game on Saturday.. Take that all day long! Coyr
Most partisan ref (against us) for some time. Prior to their goal thought he'd played advantage and would call play back but they went on to win corner for goal. Gave us nothing. TBH clattered 20 minutes in, played on but never went back to book their guy.
Pleased we tried to push up despite the paciest forwards we have faced so far.
Players seem to be able to get in between our lines of defence and midfield really easily - which does not surprise me when we sit back so much and let the opposition dictate.
For me Gerogie T and the midfield pairing off Jackson and Buyens is not offering enough when we have the ball. Though we are unbeaten, so what do I know.
Thought Moussa and Bulot looked lively, Bulot especially looked to move the ball with pace.
Not much to add but they were much better than us imo throughout the pitch.
We didn't have a cutting edge to see out an attack and time after time put our foot on the ball and play backwards, the difference between us and the top sides Ive seen in this league so far.
We look like we didn't believe in ourselves tonight which was a shame.
Still, unbeaten run continues and a fortunate point imo, better than playing brilliant and losing.

And we urgently need JBG back.

Oh and Bikey back-flip, just when you thought the man love could not get any stronger, just like everyone else, love this man..........

Happy to knock it around in areas which don't harm the opposition. I fear we may become predictable In the way we play.
Seriously missed gudmonsonn, hope his injury isn't a bad one and is back soon.
