Not with three team mates queueing up to score via a straightforward pass
But that probably would just have been a missed goal-scoring opportunity - rather than lead to an equaliser at the other end.
It isn’t the same thing at all. If a team is a goal DOWN in the 93rd minute, nobody can be too critical of them for over-committing and leaving themselves hopelessly exposed at the back. The same is simply not true of a team a goal UP in the 93rd minute.
If an U12 team committed like that and blew a win, they’d be embarrassed.

Wolves proving twice that a speculative shot through the defensive cover can sometimes go in.
Lots to be angry about, but you have to chalk it up as one of those things.
The shot only goes in because it deflects over Verbruggen.
Comfortable save if not for that.

To a certain extent, but there was still plenty of defensive cover by the time Cunha shot.
It was a pretty lucky equaliser.

I had that very thing at u13 when for the second week in a row, my 2 central midfielders ignored my imploring to sit in and not overcommiting and we conceded on the break following a long ball out of their defence when we misplaced a pass. On both occasions we blew an away draw turning them into defeats
FH was much calmer than I was after the game. I do hope he used the language that as a u13 coach I wasn't allowed to use, in the dressing room.

I would say that was the only time on the game that Igor stood off the attacker (may have been down to his booking /no pervis to be seen) and then it hits the underside of JPVH boot. 9 times out of 10 that shot doesn't go in

The whole event was a bit freakish, starting with Dunk's injury in the warm-up and ending with FourVOneGate

On a positive note Evan got the monkey off his back.
Nicely taken too!

This. If we hit a few speculative shots from the edge of the area, rather than always taking that extra touch, a few of these might go our way.

Awaiting the Baddiel and Skinner reenactment......
I had already mentally spent the winnings from my 2-1 bet, but hey ho, I also had a 3-1 bet on too and was mentally spending that just as Wieffer was about to cross the ball for our third goal.

Having watched the replay, if any of Baleba x 2 and Mitoma shots took a deflection like the Wolves equaliser it would have been game over long before Wiefers poor pass. Still don’t think his pass was as bad as Webbys underhit backpass a little while ago. Shit happens.
The team needs to concentrate on it to improve in future matches. It's true that fans dwelling on it will only bring the level of support to the team down.
You're making the assumption that no one else will make a mistake all season. That's a big ask!

or Palace are one point behind Wolves at season end and are relegated due to the point wolves got yesterday, and Wieffer has effectively relegated them
