They scored from a throw-in that was ours.
I reckon we outplayed them 60/40
Carl Cort & their chinky, No. 19 were their only decent players.
Ref was poor, as was the baldy bonce lino.
We won't go down if we keep this up.

No. 19 - that'll be South Korean Seol KI-HYEUN who played in the World Cup semi-final then.
Thought Kenny Millar (16) had a cracking game.

Carl Cort was shit.
We had lots of the ball but created little.
Aaron Lescott was super for them in defence.

I though Wolves looked a useful but uninspiring team. Their Korean player looked good and Miller is a class act (apart from one hilariously wide shot).
Don't think we were worse than them and a draw would have been a fair result but these things happen. Their goalie only had one shot to save though, we had a lot of possession and should have tested him more.
Knight looks like he'll struggle at this level and Virgo showed his limitations: he gets offside too much and hasn't got that anticipation in the box.
We certainly weren't terrible though and have improved since the shocking Plymouth game.

He beat Butters & Cullip to every single high ball - agreed he did f***-all else - but his knock-downs etc from 20/30 yards out put us under pressure.

It was disappointing as Mayo was late for the ball.
If you were looking at this in marketing terms the reality is we had no end product tonight.

Get off Kerry's back. Reckon he had a great game tonight, and is getting better every game. Goal was FDM's fault.

Mayo decided jumping for a cross was too much effort, unfortunately Kenny Miller didn't.
I was surprised by how upbeat McGhee was by the performance, we were ok, but not a patch on the way we played at Watford. Apart from the unfortunate (for us anyway) goaline clearance which denied us an equaliser I felt we offered no real threat up front and both sides just cancelled each other out, restricting chances from distance only.
I felt that at times we passed it around well, but that final moment of inspiration was sadly lacking. I can't fault the teams effort. This may be a tad harsh as he has just comeback, however, McPhee seems to be shown up as the lower level player he is, evidently still hasn't learnt control or the offside rule.
Wolves showed brief glimpses of the side that made it to the Premier, with a couple of remarkably quick breaks with some sublime passing, but they were few and far between.
Biggest disappointment for me was that Jarratt was only brought on with 5 mins to go, especially if you consider he was the catalyst for our comeback on Saturday. Even in his 5 mins he looked more dangerous than any of our players had in the preceeding 85. We just need to be that bit more positive at home, especially when chasing a game.
I think I will cease my ramblings with the final point; McGhee is right when he says we have come a long way since Cardiff, we show signs of promise, but until we are slightly more freescoring it will be a long hard season.

I thought we had quite a lot of the ball but never really used it that intelligently. I didn’t think we played that badly, but I didn’t feel we did that well either.
They looked a big and strong team and not a bad side.
Agree their Korean bloke was one of their better players although he did need a good slap for his antics when being substituted. Also, just for once, maybe Ince could accept a referee’s decision and not moan the whole time.
Ref wasn’t great but I have seen a lot worse.

We should have equalised but Hammonds goal shot was cleared off the line by Craddock and Currie's free kick went just over the bar.
We played reasonably well tonight but the two players already mentioned Seol Ki-Hyeun and Miller were the difference in the two sides.

Most of our decent build-up play from the back was initiated by Kerry who linked excellently with Currie.
If given a choice, I reckon Currie would have Kerry in the team, but you're right, Cullip would probably pick Harding
Let's see who McGhee picks for Saturday, this selection is on a knife-edge.
