Worryingly far too many of that crap still have long contracts. And we won't shift them so it's another 18 months of e.g. Manning unless we get lucky and Wussell persuades his new club to come in for him/Downes/Jack, etc.

It was Charlton. Managed by Nathan Jones. They're punching well above their weight currently.

Flynn D please.

Tonda's at the wheel and we're heading for the wall.

The only thing I take from that is that the goalkeeper is therefore incidental as a good defence will do it all. I thought he was there in case the good defence didn't. Sometimes the other team make that happen. Just to be clear: our defence is shit, but we all know that.

I think we played to not lose rather than to win. My ratings. 1. Bazunu 5 Ok. Good reaction save but one he probably could have collected (maybe) or the defence should have stopped but it was a good save nonetheless. 2. Jelert 5 Not bad. I would like to see him behind Fellows who can play his normal position and he can overlap. 3. Manning Minus infinity. The more I see this fraud the more I dislike him. 4. Stephens 4 Got kicked. That was his memorable moment. 5. Harwood Bellis 5 Same as. I just find him average at best. 6. Wood 5 Happily anonymous although he did drive forward with the ball nicely once. Likes a sideways pass. 7. Masuki 5 Did ok. Nice introduction to a physical game. Let's see if he can adapt/impose himself. If he can't, he'll have to go because he won't be good enough but happy to give him some time based on that. 8. Bragg 6.5 Could turn into a player. Wants the ball, wants to do things with it. Means we can have him, Jander and Charles as a 3 in that 3 man midfield we might see one day.. 9. Archer 3 I just don't see him as a viable option for anyone. A player who's best playing on the shoulder of the last defender needs a good team to create loads for him, but that kind of team would have and want a better player than him.. 10. Downes 5 Put some effort in but I still cannot see quite what the point of him being in the team is in terms of what he doesn't contribute. 11. Sceinza 5 Got sat on and crowded out so we saw some of his limitations in a poor team that couldn't give him the option of a give and go so he could play with his back to the defender. Subs. Not a lot. Robinson did a couple of things. Tonda. More Tonda toy than 'on the bus'. Clearly another spreadsheet manager. Millwall. Physical, cleverly dirty. Average. Would love to see them go up cause I think they'd make a lot of Wolves fans very happy.

No. Leeds shit the bed.

As neither goalkeeper are likely to be directly responsible for the goals we score and the points haul and that is skewed by Tonda vs the bloke who we thought would be a manager but turned out to be the ginger Ali Dia in disguise those 'stats' mean about as much as a 'Yes please and thank you'.
-
While I would hope so, the truth is he hasn't yet shown us much and I hope next year, after the cup game which he should play the whole game for us he'll start to demonstrate his ability.
-
So do I, but I'd rather see it a lot than not at all.
-
It was an opinion/comment. Just like your ignorant and repressive bullshit. HTH.
-
His entire career.
-
Insult to Fox.
-
I'm interested in 'rarely'. As in which alternative universe and on which one occurrence?
-
But in fairness, he does have a shit defence ahead of him. Otherwise he'd probably ... nah, still be shit but we might have a few more points. If Cap'n Jack made fish fingers, they'd be cheese straws.
-
Wrong? Because THB can't see a pass and the only time he tried the one that went through the lines there was no-one moving to it, but that ball is on a lot. Wrong because we just played 'pass it by numbers' rather than do something intelligent with it. Coventry defended well and pretty much kept Fellows out of it. Azaz wasn't up to much (as expected against the better teams) and it was more boring side to side passing far too often.
-
We really need to move Downs and Manning on. I don't care if it's to a 'rival'; they ain't that good.
-
Who is this player and why don't we play him?

I'd tell you but I stopped watching international football years ago. -
But it's also Leo's number. Maybe he'll score 13 in a 15-all draw?

At those prices, I wonder who can afford them? £100k upwards? Or young, single and stupidly minted. -
Two interesting things yesterday. One he scuffed a hoofed clearance so isn't always great. Two a couple of times he just did the sensible "Get rid of the bloody thing" as did a couple of others. Seems someone's letting the players just make decisions as they see fit at the time. jjj

True. I am incredibly surprised now how it is Still ever managed to 'manage' a football team, frankly.
-
From where I was, I agree no-one was saving Gray's shot. Might change my mind once I see it on the telly, however. Brum were like most teams (didn't see Millwall) in this league: functional and organised. You can see why the league is so tight: most teams seem much of a muchness.
