Bottom 3 right now go down.

I thought Wolves might get away from it but they look as bad as S'ton and Ipswich.

Wolves will probably change manager after tonight. Could go either way for them. They can score goals but are horrendous defensively.

Wolves desperately need a couple of new defenders in Jan. I wouldn’t even sell them Keane they are that bad.

I thought he looked completely downbeat in his post match interview, and based on that performance I want him to stay as long as possible!

Surprised at Wolves. Some seriously talented players but utterly dismal in defence. A defence that bad can’t stay up.

People upset at us conceding goals this season, by contrast, Wolves have conceded 15 goals more than us.

Whilst us conceding 4 twice and a strewth of 3s, at least they were against handy top of table sides (spurs, United, villa).

Wolves conceded 4+ three times this season. They're in real trouble. Doesn't matter how much of a threat you are going forward (and they look quite handy), you're spot on. They're finished shipping goals like that.

I think when a relegation rival inflicts a defeat on you like that the writing is usually on the wall for the manager.

Wolves have got some good attacking options but their defence is absolutely terrible. I’ve never seen basic long balls cause so much chaos or a team as repeatedly incapable of dealing with crosses into the box. They’ve got even bigger problems than we do.

Set pieces, all goals were more or less from set pieces. And they even conceded a 5th over that was unexplainably disallowed.

There were 2 chances that could turn the game differently in the first half, but overall was a solid performance.

Said yesterday, we need 7 wins and now 6.

We need to focus on us and no one else. I know it's hard but we create a negative mindset which just know it's hard.

Hopefully we get that number down to 5 on Saturday x

30 will be fine.

Possibly mate.

I think we can do 38 with ease, tbh.

I at the minute stick to what i said after 2 games in here that wolves may be in bigger trouble than some thought at that point. The comeback was they can score though. but people forgot that they are concedeing tons every week. Nothing is ever done till its done. We could do probably with Wolves been a draw Monday maybe

Next 3 for Wolves are opportunities...but if they dont take points from them their heads go down and they're gone IMO.

I'll be honest, I don't see many people improving that defence. It's a joke.

I think it would be a mistake to lose ONeil who has done well there. Maybe Cooper does ok for them?

The thing is, their last 2 have been opportunities for them, and they have flopped.

After those next 3, their fixtures turn. They won't be picking up many points for some time after that.

They are easily the worst defence in the league. I think someone could come in and at least make some sort of an improvement

Such a relief to be going into this tough run of games 5 points above the relegation zone and hopefully we will have new owners very soon.
