Just back from the game today. Excellent win and really pleased to come back from a goal down. Jackett changing to 442 made the difference.
Ikeme - 9 made some excellent saves and won it for us at the end
Stearman -8 one of his best performances in a wolves shirt, some poor defensive play but got the winning goal
Batth and ricketts - 7 solid throughout but struggled with the height of their number 9 early on
Golborne - 7 solid enough and kept the ball well at the end. Unlucky for their goal as in the right place but just wasn't tall enough
Henry - 9 very good going forward and defensively and got the first goal. Not sure how the keeper didn't save it though.
Evans -5 didn't do anything wrong but not on the pitch for long
Mcdonald - 7 some good passes, some not so good
Davis - 7 one of his better games. Did his job protecting the back 4 well but some wayward passing
Sako - 5 very lazy today. Didn't seem up for it at all. Kept the ball well at the end and some good passes but like playing with 10 men at times
Griffiths - 7 very good game and could have had a hatrick. Would have given him a higher score but didn't hit the target with a few shots.
Subs
Doyle - 9 made the difference when he came on. Held the ball up well and linked the play.
Siggy - 7 did well when he came on and cause their defence some problems in the air
Jackett - 8 poor decision with the original set up but not afraid to change it which won us the game.
Crowd - 8 good away support as always
Ref - 3 awful. Gave 2 competitive drop balls and generally had a shocker. No change there

“You wouldn't be trying to draw an opinion on O'Hara there Tatter would you ?”
No mate, I don’t think there’s much chance of him making the starting XI for the Stevenage game. But if he does it certainly won’t be the first time KJ has shocked me!

I've heard and read many complimentary remarks from Wolves fans concerning Bradfords fans, team and the surrounding curry houses and pubs ! - most saying it was the best match of the season, and not just for the result

Bantam - yes I was impressed with Nakhi Wells and he is a player Bradford will do well to hold on to. He lifted Bradford just as Doyle had lifted Wolves. I certainly think Bradford are good enough to make the play offs and that's why it was considered a fine result for Wolves. Great support for the home team from all three stands and I am sure that helps the team no end. I have followed Wolves to most away grounds in the Premier, Championship and now League One in the last three years and rarely have I seen such good support from all parts of the ground.

Tatter - to answer your question I am really unsure who I would select for our central two. As wolfgang asks, I think if you pick O'Hara it would be instead of McDonald. I don't see them as a good pairing as they try to do the same things. I think KMac has been ok but not better than ok, so an O'Hara of 2 years ago would replace him. But whether O'Hara can recapture that form is a question none of us know the answer to.
As for who takes the other midfield position, I think Evans and Price in particular are really good prospects and I think if he fulfils his potential Jack Price can be the best midfield player at the club. But right now I think I would go for Davis who is a very different type of player to KMac and provides a better blend. He is good at winning the ball and has good energy, but I know he frustrates people at times with some poor passing.

I don’t think O’Hara will displace McDonald DJ, or certainly not in the starting XI, as Jackett does like to play his signings! Maybe that’s how he’ll get his first chance, on as a sub for McDonald.

I have been labelled as two out of three of those. If Jackett keeps making the mistake of leaving Doyle out then he would certainly become third choice
