So far so good but we need to keep the ball better, giving up possession all too often and inviting pressure onto ourselves, we have been pretty comfortable really.

Tbh we look fairly comfortable at the moment and as long as we concentrate at the back and don't get sloppy this game is definitely winnable.

Stay really tight for the opening 10 mins of the second half and the crowd will get frustrated and the Wolves players very nervey.

Pretty much spot on - Wolves seem to be feeling the pressure more. However, expect a reaction, and we need to work hard to stop the service to Sako, Afobe etc. Agree, too, that we need to keep the ball better in forward areas. Think Wolves defence looks vulnerable.

Exactly hereforder, Murphy I think it was headed the ball from GK clearance straight to Wolves attack which led to their equaliser. Mings should have done better but it was a well taken goal.

Starting to make it a bit too easy for them by playing too deep, inviting pressure and not getting close enough to their midfield. Our passing needs to be a tad better.

Another tough, resilient, performance with the reward of a well-deserved point under pressure, and at a difficult away ground. Well done to MM/TC and the players - 7 points from 9 can't be bad, and should help belief and confidence levels for the last two games of the season. Keep believing! :D

A very good point for us, I believe a win next week could well seal the play off spot. We just gave up possession all too easily and invited pressure but they really didnt open us up much at all. A draw was definitely the fair result.

Another point in the bag. :mrgreen:

Would definitely have taken that before the game as was expecting the worst. Unbelievable that we already have 75 points and yet are still fighting for a playoff place.

Obviously disappointed not to have taken maximum points but on paper at least a draw is a satisfactory result.

Game at a difficult venue with the opposition in need of points more than ourselves and we took something away, it all equates to a good journey. Going to be hard for the opposition now to make the top six but if they don't make it at least they'll have some time to make a distinction between a Wolf and an Alsatian.

Guess we got two games now left this season with Blackburn on the final day and Notts Forest a week from today. Win both these and we got ourselves a play-off place after 10 years out of the picture. A win today would have added a little more security but we kept one of the other promotion candidates at distance which was all important.

Yes great results for us all round. Also it was important that Wigan kept themselves in the hunt and the Millwall drew which means that Reading are not safe. It means that next Saturday Brentford, Wolves & Derby all have games against teams needing a win badly.

Bournemouth must be a tad disappointed too not to beat Huddersfield, they had some great results recently didn't they :wink:

Another exciting weekend ahead folks!!

If only we'd got a win today and we could of been 5th. Win next week and that's us in Playoffs I think.

Yep, that's exactly right Lucy - simples! :D (A win today would've been great, but given other results, the hard-earned point may prove crucial come the final shake up). Exciting, isn't it?!
