Still absolutely fuming from yesterday, a game there to be won, and won handsomely if we got out of first gear but still for the late antics would have been a comfortable 3 points.

I was staggered at how poor and limited the opposition were as an established EPL side and couldn't think of a worse side we have played since getting promoted. For me they could get close to Derbys 11 points and are currently on course for a meagre 8 points all season.

With the caveat I've seen it's a crodo thread..

They were dogshit, bordering on embarrassing in the first half, then we decided to just hand over control to them in the second. I'd say they deserved a point. Not because they fought their way back into it, because we sat back and let them play.

Spurs and Newcastle aid the same about us.

They played really well from 55 minutes, far superior to us at everything. Almost taking the p1ss, their 9 and 10 had opportunities at 1-0.

Way better than what I saw from Forest and Ipswich for example.

We seemed frozen, unable to go up a gear and this was BEFORE the subs. We needed a 25 year old StevieG type player in centre midfield to drive us forward, make direct runs, push play forward 30 yards, give Wolves something to worry about.

Sadly we went into our shells.

I'm with you and that's why I was so disappointed, first half was total control without getting out of 2nd gear, they were so limited and we were still the better side in the 2nd half but sat back and offered them territory and possession.

No where near the worst, I can think of Burnley x 3 for a start

Thought they were decent, and far better than their league position suggests.

Defended well in the first half, and looked decent enough in the 2nd. They have a decent squad.

Very much this. People have been saying how awful they are but they gave City a good game, have a decent coach but a limited squad and, on their second half performance deserved their draw. That said I am getting very bored with teams coming to the Amex and just getting 11 mem behind the ball.

This bit we need to get used to, as a potential top 6 team.

Since we've been 'good' over the last few years, it's how the lower teams set up to play against us. They play the same way against all top 6 sides as it's the most effective way to grind a result. We're obviously not as good as the like of City and Arsenal, which is why our record against the bottom sides is poor.

It's our job to break them down... and to be fair we are getting a lot better at it, compared to previous seasons. Should have finished them off yesterday, but it was just one of those days.

Don't think it's fair to say they are the worse side to grace the Amex but they are the most frequent visitors with 12 appearances here.

If not for Verbruggen's excellent positioning they could have won

they looked ok once they decided they didn't have to lay on the ground every 5 mins better finishing and they would have been 1-0 up.

They weren’t that bad. Cunha was probably the second best player on the pitch (after Baleba).

Really, thought Baleba was poor in the second half, got caught a number of times, almost trying too hard.
The sub was the right one, as he looked knackered.

The ineffectiveness of our midfield in the second half was one of the reasons they took control.
