Back up to 19th then. Nice.
Last Game Overview:
Defensively we looked a lot better. Not much could have been done about Young's goal.
The Good: Dennis looks an improvement on Awoniyi. Aurier did better than Williams has recently and the midfield held together well. McKenna played his best game in a while.
The Bad: Henderson's distribution is awful. Johnson needs a spell on the sidelines.
The Ugly: Not Dane's missus.
Special Mention: Our fans were pretty quiet, obviously nerves when we went 1-0. Cooper then, for stopping the rot.
Overall Record:
Currently we stand at W44 D26 L62
We’ve only won 6 of the last 25 games against Wolves. Although three of those came at Molineux.
Signings:
Colback, Niakhate and Richards missing. Mangala didn't get on the pitch and Bade the only player to not make the squad so far.
Your Opposition Story:
I don't mind Wolves. Never met a Wolves fan. I like actual Wolves.
Form:
Another early relegation battle. We could be upto 17th if we win. Two points behind Liverpool, who are 14 points behind Arsenal.
Lose this and we could go bottom.
Team:
Henderson
Aurier Worrall McKenna Toffolo
Mangala Yates Freuler
Dennis Awoniyi MGW
Hennessey, Bade, Lodi, Williams, Kouyate, O’Brien, Lingard, Johnson and Surridge.
Prediction:
A 1-0 win...because...they've only scored 3 league goals all season.
COYRs!!!!!

Tofollo looks like he's ready for the noose
Both ridiculous penalties..
They seem to give them for nothing!
Looking at the table your only 5 points off halfway up the league
Strange season...get to the break without being cut off and you never know

Dont think their penalty was dodgy, personally think VAR did ok today

Not sure about that. It appeared to bounce off Toff's right arm, which was in a legal position, on to his left hand. If it had come off his knee, for example, onto his left hand, it would not have been called.
Our penno was a clear foul on Yates, as he was running on to the header.

Wolves looked terrible considering its their 5th season in the Premier league
From an outsiders point of view that game should have been a draw...

I guess we have improved and that’s all you can ask really. Juts don’t wanna get too cut off and demoralised. Cause then certain players will stop playing as they know they are off at the end of the season

Just watched our pen kick again on sky. Their keeper clearly comes off his line before Johnson strikes the ball and as a result is able to get across to the ball. Given the Lino was standing on the goal line he should have flagged for a re-take but when its not going your way...

Agreed a point would have been reasonable given both sides only managed 2 shots on target each,

I see Rev has gone into hiding now Forest look like they’re going down.

FofF, keeper stays on his line, it was just a very poor weak penalty from a player who is bereft of confidence and totally out of touch, needs taking out of the firing line for a few games. VAR did itself no favours, yes it probably got the right result for both pens, but the Wolves pen took four our five mins, with the ref watching slowed down, frame by frame about half a dozen times, if it takes that long is it a clear and obvious error ?? Unfortunately losing games like that, and only picking up one point on the road says an awful lot about Forest atm, yes we may still be in transition but we are already running out of time. We had our golden chance today, against a very poor Wolves team, but couldn’t take it. Neither keeper had a save to make as neither team was good enough to create anything. 17th at the moment looks about as achievable as Brennan finishing top scorer in the premiership. Were we worth a point today, possibly, but Wolves have scored 3 goals all season, surely if there was a day to go all out for 3 points it was today, unfortunately we were still far to conservative in our approach. My main worry is beating the record of ‘the worst team in history’, achieve that, and the way i feel at the moment it will have been a successful season. I am in NO WAY saying get rid of Cooper, even when we get relegated, I’d keep him in charge, but he needs to learn at a faster pace than he is managing atm, his substitutions tend to be too late, and often have little or no effect. Next 3 games look extremely tough, a point from any of those would be a massive bonus.

* Henderson - awful distribution again.
* Williams - where was Aurier?
* Toffolo - never going to cope with Traore.
* Kouyate - Mangala gives us time on the ball.
* Johnson - completely out of form. He looked like he’d miss.
We have a goalkeeper who stops us from releasing the ball quickly, too many CBs to keep happy, poor wingbacks (never mind an absence of fullbacks entirely), an uncreative and ponderous midfield, no options on the wing (that are in form) and no one to score the goals needed.
I didn’t think the rest were that bad.
Henderson
Aurier
McKenna
Cook
Richards - when back
Freuler
Mangala
Yates
Dennis
Surridge
MGW

My feeling is that we have improved defensively, look better organised in our defensive block. Unfortunately with the ball we are simply awful and while that continues we can’t claim to win any game.
Even when playing badly you still get chances in games and to fail to take the pen was a real killer. Absolutely love Johnson but you can see the confidence is low and maybe now is the time to have him on the bench and see what impact he can make coming on with 20 to go.
Unsure on VAR, if they only get involved on clear and obvious decisions but have to run the incident at slow motion and from several angles how can it be clear and obvious 🤷♂️
