It was good to see Kilman slot in on the left after Dendoncker went off. I still think that Semedo, Coady, Kilman, Jonny would be an effective back 4.

Apart from pizzing away 38 million on Silva (whoever suggested that should be shot) my biggest concern is Jimenez. I think the blow on the head has affected his memory. He seems to have forgotten that he is a centre forward and spends his time alternating between being a central midfielder and a winger. I'm very much afraid that our 25 goal a season striker is a shadow of his former self.

Congratulations bud, I was wondering who would be the first to say that

Bruno pleased with the options it seems

Lage: "First half, different dynamic, Norwich usually play with a line of four and our plan is wingers to cause problems, but after Trincao with covid and only one (senior) winger in the squad, our plan was Leander to the same."

I think we can put to bed any suggestions that Bruno is happy with our dealings. Three snipes at our options post match

Well it'd be rude not to snaffle away a tap in

Well, that was rubbish.

Didn't think Silva was worse than anyone else today, heard quite a few singling him out after the match for criticism but bar Semedo, Kilman and possibly Ruddy most of our lads seemed to be still on the beach.

Didn't see their goal clearly as I was just making my way back from a pi$$ (I blame the 99p a pint Ruddles best in spoons) looked like Ruddy could've made more of an effort to keep it out but difficult to say.

Bruno's options were limited by Trincao's absence and traore's departure so don't blame him for going with the formation that won us the game at Brentford, but it needed far more intensity to make it work, too many ordinary performances out there today.

Certainly the least inspiring performance by Wolves for a long time. First half was insipid at best, better second half but still lacking as an attacking unit.

Poor goal to concede, thought Ruddy could have done better and we should have had a defender on the back post. But couldn’t argue with being behind at the break as they brought a few saves from Ruddy whereas their keeper had nothing to do.

Better after the break with Neves and Moutinho dominating midfield and Semedo getting forward more. Podence unlucky not to score but he was poor otherwise. Silva got into the game more as the game went on and Jimenez improved us a bit but although we pinned Norwich back we rarely looked like scoring.

Dendoncker really poor, Podence and Ait Nouri added little. Semedo and Kilman probably best of a poor bunch on the day

I thought both Podence and Ait-Nouri worked hard. Neves made some good interceptions and some good long diagonal balls out to the wings. Coady didn't do anything spectacular but conversely didn't make any mistakes either. If I had to pick out the weak links I would point the finger at Dendoncker, Jimenez and Silva

We should have Saiss back next match so should stiffen the defence. Agree about Jimmy not the same as he was before the injury and at this moment in time Silva is not up to standard, time will tell if he ever will be, but you all know my opinion on that.

The Zurich Derby live now on 1 Football app . Bonatini, Herc and Bola for the good guys.

I don't think Saiss is that much better as a defender than Toti. What he does give though is an added attacking force

Saiss is much better than Toti right now and have to be honest, not sure what people are seeing in Toti so far. Plays it all safe which is fine for a youngster but they got at us on that side a few times today after errors from him. Not his fault, he is young, but feel the hype of him is very over the top altogether.

I heard that as well.

Other things from today.

I thought it was an encouraging cameo from Chiquinho who looked lively and got some good crosses in and I guess we will move back to 343 for the next league game and I’d like to see him get a start.

Toti had another good game and hasn’t put a foot wrong really in his three games. Surprising substitution to take him off and put Dendoncker in the back 3. Would have been a simpler change to take Donk off, and he was taken off not long after anyway.

And although it was a disappointing goal to concede from a dead ball situation, no way should Norwich have had a free kick in the first place. Perfectly good tackle by Kilman

If there’s one thing we need more than anything in the coming games it’s for Raul to start hitting the back of the net again. Our squad lacks goalscorers and we need him to get back to getting goals regularly

And I do wish Bruno would take Podence to one side and tell him to stop trying fancy back heels. I reckon he has tried them about 8 times in the last couple of home games and not one has found a Wolves player

The problem with that as I mentioned earlier is that he is seldom in the box waiting for the ball to arrive. He spends far too much time dropping deep into the midfield and straying out onto the wings. He's supposed to be a centre forward but he seems to have forgotten that fact.

This happened literally right in front of me, and to give a free kick was an absolute joke decision.

Amiga I don't know what your game is but I didn't make the comment that you have tried to attribute to me.
Do it again and you my friend are history!

By all means make me history. If you can't recognise a simple mistake. jeez, it's not like I was attacking anyone.
