Players are very static this half. Everyone looks to have given up.

Just under 20 mins to go. Have we had a shot this half?

It is a curiosity. Ralph has made us better overall. But two 9 nil defeats and what looks like a record run of defeats.. it makes it hard to say he's a good manager?

Players have stepped off the gas. We just aren't in the game and it's back to the usual lack of leaders on the pitch.

It has been coming. We aren't in the game anymore. Barely had the ball this half. At least we are safe!

We really aren't getting the decisions lately are we?

Bednarek going for goal again there 🤣 About time someone told him it's at the other end.

VAR is quite pointless. Though to be fair we had reverted to our "bore them to death" tactic. So maybe we'll wake up again how.

Goal Armstrong! Deserved.

Zz.. both teams looking dull. Wolves haven't offered anything. Probably score in a minute against the run of play!

I am surprised Ralph didn't make more changes yesterday. We had Djenepo on the bench who likes to run and beat players to create things for example. He only made one sub the entire game, N'Lundulu who is frankly the slowest footballer I've ever seen. Tella might have injected some pace into proceedings.

5 league defeats in a row for the first time since 1998. It's relegation form. Our good start may well save us, but the rot is well and truly set in. Ralph has to find a way to stop us losing. Players look devoid of confidence.

Not feeling the goal coming here. Conditions not helping us.

Bednarek having a bad time at the moment. Mike Dean would have sent him off.

Someone needs to tell the players we are still losing. It's tough in the rain but come on lads, not creating enough chances !

Should be 4-1

Players appear tired. Lacking in leadership on the pitch. Mentally not right either, they still seem to be dwelling on the 9 nil.

I think its beyond us now. Confidence very low at the back. No sharpness and McCarthy has not recovered from conceding the 9. I'd even consider Fraser at half time.

What odds on another 9 nil ? We are all over the place.

Ralph mentioned Will Ferry could cover full back, though I thought he was more attack minded? So we may see him on the left with Bertrand pushed into the centre alongside Stephens with Ramsay on the right. Unless Bednarek's card is overturned. Ralph is pretty stubborn on formation and will probably want to slot people into his favourite formation.

For context: He joined them on 31 January 2020 on a 6 month loan. The season was suspended on 13th March and eventually cancelled. So he hardly had much time and you can't really draw many conclusions from that I think.

A lot riding on the Bednarek appeal outcome. Though as several have stated its hard to see them overturning Mike Dean as it opens a whole can of worms.

On another day it goes to 4-1. They go on to get possibly 2 more and Bednarek stays on. Both VAR calls were highly debatable.

Anyone know much about the youth team CBs now we'll be missing Bednarek for 3 games?

Yes. This is different than the last times shock result. He has been set up.
