We huffed and puffed but don’t have the quality to succeed in this league.

Playing with the 5 at the back isn’t going win us many games and scrapping for a draw isn’t any good for us.
 
I think, the problem of this season are the coaches and president.

The player are limited, and not have a lot quality, but one good coach get the maximun performance of that players.

If you view the team players, and the points have in all season. The problem for me is clear: bad coaches and president.

Look Claudio on Celta, he put play FerLo like 25' and he scores a goal. Claudio in spain have a lot praise for getting play good the team, and get máximum performance of the players.

I think you guys need one coach like he, Manú its a good example: he need made many impressive games to play vs poor players. And for me that not is normal.

It's years since we've been able to reliably keep clean sheets and we've drawn a blank in 10 of our last 17 league games at the other end.

So join the dots.

We're a very bad team and it's hard to draw any conclusions from a squad that is a) miles out of its collective depth and b) will surely be decimated in the coming months.
 
Goal shy, points shy. We're being farmed by average teams, again.

I agree that, i think the coach underestimate the squad.

Not are the best squad, but many of they play the last season and get 42 points and 6 continue wins.
 
Thought that was the best we've played all season overall. We lookwd decent at times.
First 25 minutes we were the better team, shame about the offside.
Second half we really took it to them and deserved to get the equaliser, but we have no quality up front. Think Mane is wasted so wide out, would like to see him more central.
The 2 goals conceded came from giving the ball away in poor areas, Andre and Hugo. Tbf Hugo was struggling at 75 minutes with cramp so Wolfe should have come on earlier imo.
Tolu holds the ball up well half the time but the other half it ricochets off him, tbf a lot of the time there isnt another Wolves player within 20 yards.
The 2 goal mistakes apart I thought we looked comfortable at the back.
Finishing is appalling.
 
I thought we were shite, created nothing really. Just a very meh game during which we were comfortably outplayed by a shit club with no fans.
 
I don't think we were shite at all, and deserved at least a draw.

Sadly - and this isn't a huge shock - we simply don't have the quality in crucial areas of the pitch.

At least we actually created a few chances today. A mixture of rotten luck and poor finishing was the difference today, as well as Scott's desire to get to that cross late on ahead of our ball watching defence.

We look a lot better than we did. But that's still a long way off Premier League quality.

Fair enough, you go every home game but I disagree. Obviously we are not a Premier league quality team but in the mediocrity of this season I thought today we weren't terrible, I certainly dont think Bournemouth out played us.

Ok.

Now remove the goal involvements of Ait-Nouri and Cunha, and replace them with David Moller Wolfe and your mate "FerLo".
 
Never felt so disconnected. People around me rate the likes of H Bueno, R.Gomes and Tolu and I think they are all shit. Big chants for Rob Edwards, would not care less if he is sacked due to his love for Hwang and other terrible observations. Not sure where we go as I can't see us mounting a serious challenge next year because the surgery required is so big that it's a huge ask to it all in one summer window. Don't care if any of the player bar Mane leave. It's been a bad season but I've left the game today as disappointed as any.

I’m with @Tredman I’m afraid. That was pathetic after the first 15 minutes and their second goal was inevitable near the end. I thought we were complete shite and, plot spoiler, we’re going to be next season too until somebody does the really not tricky job of looking at the kind of calibre of management and the structure that got us up last time. And replicates it.

Those applauding this effort and this manager are simply content with mediocrity, and I’m afraid that’s the majority of the fans. I’m not, it still makes me angry.
 
We've just lost the most "0-0" game of the season, both teams were shit.

All of our shots seemed to be aimed directly at Petrovic, except the one aimed at the post.

Enjoyed pre-match in PACK though.
 
Once again the front players looked very isolated. Yes we created a couple of chances but they came out of nowhere, most of the time we look like we have no plan when we have possession and each player makes it up as we go along. I'm not sure how you could watch that and say we played well. The first came from the kind of casual pass we've been playing all season, this time it was Andre but everyone has had their moments. Once they were ahead Bournemouth kept us at arms length most of the time and I never felt like we'd score.

Nobody played particularly well. Hugo was great for 25 minutes then faded, though his cross for Tolu's big chance was excellent. Sa finally kicked the ball to a Wolves player, though nowhere near where he was aiming, Agbadoo had a Keystone Kop moment to give away a comical corner. Mane had the odd good moment but his decision making was again poor.

Today provided overwhelming evidence why anyone we want to spearhead a promotion challenge next season would be mad to sign until the summer. Playing with this group of players would drag anyone down. The end of the season can't come quick enough, I just fear that what follows will be as bad as there's little evidence that those in charge of recruitment have a clue.
 
From what I saw from the 2nd half onwards we should quite easily have got something from the game. However could'a, would'a should'a gets you zero fucks at this level when it comes to points.

We just need to abandon the whole five at the back bollocks as it's getting us nothing at this stage. We're going down and everyone at the club including the players knows it so let's fuck off with any pretence and actually try and win a football match from the start. Because we're running out of winnable home games, and hamstringing us for 70 minutes of them is fucking pointless.
 
The first game I've watched under Edwards where I've thought that we had a coherent plan of what to do when we had the ball. We've been a bit more solid recently but that's the next step towards being an acceptable football team.

I think 1-1 would've probably been a fairer result but that's what happens when you've got a lack of quality throughout the team.
 
Ok.

Now remove the goal involvements of Ait-Nouri and Cunha, and replace them with David Moller Wolfe and your mate "FerLo".

Cunha only played 2 games of that these 6 consecutive wins. And Larsen scored 14 goals that seasons.

FerLo only play 231 mins in diferente games and made 1 assist. Its like u take Forbs of the another season to compare it. Its Arias who come for cunha.

Not awful today and created enough chances to get something but lack of quality in the box cost us again, Tolu the worst offender with some poor misses and shots straight at the keeper. During the second half I felt an equaliser could be coming but with each miss then the one which hit the post I just knew it wasn't going to happen. Their injury time 2nd felt like a sucker punch and yet again we were left to skulk out of the stadium whilst another set of fans were having the time of their lives. Pretty sick of it all
 
First time I’ve been this season and I was pleasantly surprised in that first 30 minutes. We looked like a proper football team and we were better than them. They weren’t particularly good all game, we just gifted them a chance and he struck it well on goal. Something we can’t do.

After that we huffed and puffed but we were definitely value for a point.

Grief for Edwards seems a bit harsh to me. As I said it looked like we had a plan and were a coordinated team. We just don’t have the quality. Every single team we play against their entire team is faster than ours. Even our fast players in Gomes were completely matched by Truffert. Then Tolu got little change out of Senesi despite being twice his size, finishing is largely shit too. He isn’t better than Che Adams.

Mane actually helped us have a chance of keeping hold of him, he stands out in our team because we are terrible but he’s not a consistent performer at this level, but we’re killing a bit playing wider but he’s ignored Bueno overlapping several times now only to produce nothing, your not Arjen Robben mate.

Hugo Bueno is just bang average anyway. But the same can be said about R Gomes. Didn’t frustrate me by looking like he was playing 3 leagues above his level, but was also largely totally ineffective.

Hwang wasn’t actually that bad and probably the best out of the front 5 but got cheered off.

We were value for a point but we just don’t have good players and are always likely to concede one.
