Is that definite? I thought we are still in rumours?

Routine for Wolves 

Pitiful attendance by our fans - sad to see

Routine as in we should have been 1-0 (and possibly 2-0) up?

[Gamst]

Surprised at how well we’ve played there given the off field chaos. Don’t deserve to be losing. Linesman and keeper have screwed us over. New players have done well and effort can’t be questioned.

As I said on Tuesday, how can you possibly have seen Kargbo in one training session and not thought "Yeah he's a better option than Hedges".

Baffling management.

He should certainly have been playing Tuesday night, no idea why Eustace chose not to.

[WacoRover]

My earlier optimism, lol. We’re not winning this. What’s left?

I am looking to see who gets subbed in the 2nd half, who doesn’t quit, & if Kargbo and/or Dennis score. 

[dallydally]

Perfectly good goal from Hyam but they haven't been out of third gear and look the better side.

Unfortunate that

Some decent performances from Kargbo (apart from his dive) and Dennis 

A blatant goal disallowed and then two soft goals in a minute means it’s game over 

A turning point for me was ACD played through by Buckley, he gets across his man there and he’s either in on goal or a red card, instead he wasted it 

It was a penalty. We should have been 2 up before they scored.

He'll be on the ohone in the morning.  Horrendous goalkeeping, both our keepers are game losers.

Not offside and not a dive.  Do they really need to help Wolves?

[yellowsubmarine]

Offside? Yeah right.

If that was given against us you'd be calling it a disgraceful decision. It was a clear dive.

Never a penalty, ever, not even close for me

Has the feet, but not the pace sadly.

I'm not watching, I'm at work, but my answer would be the same - I've no idea cos we've barely fucking seen him play and he's been getting splinters in his arse all season. Given how many howlers of Pears we have had to sit through, and even some balls ups recently, remains to be seen.

He’s shit

[sverrehh]

The replay shows that it was clear contact on Kargbo.

Took his foot away. You see then given ever week in the prem

Yep, clear as day

[rigger]

Cantwell is a big disappointment, he gives the impression of being lazy.

[AspRover]

A front three of Kargbo - Gueye - Dennis looks very good in the championship based on this showing to be fair. 

That's the silver lining on the massive cloud of vaporised piss that is the rest of the day.

Nope, he kicked his foot

[sharpysharps86]

Weird game. Rovers arguably unfortunate to be 2 nil down here, and could easily be at least level or leading had the 'offside' goal been correctly given. A few thoughts:

• Toth is absolutely worse than Pears.
• Cantwell having an absolute stinker. Seems to happen more often than not. Can't pick a pass and dallies on the ball in dangerous positions.
• Forshaw and Buckley actually doing ok for the most part.
• Kargbo while clearly a lively sort, you can tell he has no end product. Is at least exciting in that he runs at players.
• Dennis looks decent enough for someone who has barely played any football in 9 months.

Wolves somewhat fortunate but they showed quality when they needed to.

Bad decision for Hyam but that’s the way it goes. Wolves have hardly broken sweat yet 2-0 up. 

[RevidgeBlue]

(Tin hat on)

I think Kargbo looks flashy and has a bit of pace but will prove to be a player who gets himself into lots of promising situations but who has no end product. Still miles better than Hedges though.

Quite like the look of Dennis. He'll just about be getting up to full fitness by the time he goes back to Forest.

Has Eustace's Uber to Derby arrived yet?

Karbo has left the foot in to be taken, there is an argument over whether its a penalty or not, but a booking was a terrible decision.

[DackDackGoose]

Cantwell losing ball in dangerous positions, one led to their goal. Not sure what he brings and has regressed

Actually think Buckleys looking better after a run of games, when he finds space can be a decent deep lying playmaker.. needs a travis beside him rather than forshaw who doesnt have the legs. Does lose too many 50/50s

Overall we've been decent considering half team hasnt played together, kargbo doesnt fit our system in my opinion, doesn't look to like a pass or a cross! Certainly can beat a man..

What a difference if we'd had dennis all season
