A much better performance overall
The only effective sub today was Adama. Jimenez could have made a difference if only he had come on earlier.
Hwang was completely invisible in the second half. I have not changed my opinion on him, I think he is a passenger and needs to go.
Good performance today and glad Nunes had his best game so far. Still got to sort out the problems up front. Semedo is becoming a liability at the moment and he's not doing well in that position, which is not his best, imo.
Clumsy defending for their goal and Jimenez unlucky with his late header, as was Neves with his free kick.
changing to a back three worked the other day but today it didn't work at all, we seemed to lose any momentum with that change.
Adama lively for a while when he came on but no idea how Hwang stayed on so long.
Nunes our best.
Thought we did well today and well worth a point. Looked for a long while as though 0-0 was the likely outcome but Utd had a top class striker on the bench and we don’t have a decent striker at the club.
Plenty of positives on the Wolves side with the back four all doing much better than last week, particularly Collins. We matched Utd in midfield but of course we lack the goal threat. Surprised Hwang stayed on so long, but Adama did well when he came on.
Terrible refereeing today, another one favouring the big club. Semedo booked for a nothing challenge for his first foul of the day. Casemiro meanwhile committed three bookable fouls but was only booked once.
Good to see the subs making a difference and interesting to see him using Ait Nouri in attack. Just have to hope Cunha makes us more of a goal threat
Think cinci tuned into the wrong channel. We didn’t change to a back three. Toti came on and played left back. Ait Nouri played on the left of the front three

Yeah, I was very tired and went back to bed but you are correct, RAN was defo not playing wing back. I meant the defensive changes really. Jonny and Toti are just not really viable options.
Ingesting game today and a little unlucky to get nothing from it. Agree with most of above, particularly the pointlessness of Hwang. A few days back I suggested a starting line up with Podence, Jimenez and Adama. Based on their performances I think it might have been productive.
Can’t understand why Semedo is going backwards, quite literally sometimes. Sadly the same can be said of his replacement in Jonny. It would be good if we could convert either Bueno or RAN into a lright back, but that might be expecting too much. Can’t see Toti as a fullback.
Was glad to see Nunes have a good game and was impressed by Moutinho playing further forward.
Some room for optimism but time is of the essence. Let’s see what Cunha can do.
Rushford was the difference, the only one on the field with the calmness in front of goal required.
Podence was lively again until he got kicked out of the game but without looking like opening up their defence, Costa was an outlet nothing more, Hwang ran about a bit. Our passing needs to improve for us to be able to compete with the big lads again. We kept going though and our fitness levels look better. If we play to this level with new guys coming in we'll be ok but we still need to re-learn how to score goals. Was told in the pub earlier that the Jimenez chance at the end was a sitter.
Wouldn’t say it was a sitter, decent header well saved by De Gea
Do think it’s sad that Jonny has struggled for form. One of the best full backs we’ve ever had in my opinion before his injuries. And that’s in common with other players we’ve had with long term injuries with Jimenez and Neto who have also not got back to what they were. Makes you concerned for Chiquinho and Kalajdzic too
But when they all return to top form it will be "like having 4 new signings".
Glasgow Rangers hoping to take Dion Sanderson on a permanent signing in January. Has to be to his credit that Sunderland, Birmingham, QPR were all keen to sign him after he spent times on loan there
cracking atmosphere yesterday hardly a spare seat in the house, decent performance

It was a United fan that told me actually so probably bigging up De Gea. Still not seen any highlights.

Don't think Wolves were up for selling at that time, particularly at the fees those clubs could afford to pay
Good to see Jose Sa right back to his best for Wolves yesterday. Didn't have lots to do but made a few decent saves and his positioning to cut out through balls was excellent
Really impressed with Semedo’s “no eyes” back pass.
Forest drawing at home to Chelsea is enough to take them above Wolves in the table and put us 19th. Boly and MGW two of their best players today.
Wolves go to Villa on Wednesday with a relegation 6 pointer on the South Coast with Forest travelling to Southampton
And Villa beat Spurs in their own back yard today. Results not going our way just now.
Interesting to see if Cunha starts on Wednesday, and when we get more reinforcements through the door
Cunha has to start surely. He is fit and ready so see no reason why we should wait. My fear is we just plug him in on the left or right and not central. If that happens then it will just be a case of rinse and repeat I fear.
