Wolves travel to Wigan Athletic to try and make it three league wins on the bounce. Wigan are rooted to the foot of the table, however it is these sides we always seem to come unstuck against.

Poor match so far, only 1 effort on goal that Wigan scored.
Wolves showing more pace but Wigans passing more accurate.

Fairly even in last 10 mins, Wolves deserving the equalizer for having most of the chances so far.
Ikeme forced into a save, easy enough.

Not much for Ikeme to do, Defence has stood up pretty well against Wigans majority possession.
Expect us to win on current showing.

Nothing special happening in last 10 mins. Both sides probably right to make a change

Hi Ian
Just wanted to reassure you that you're not alone!
One more Wolves goal would really push us up the table

Turning into a boring match, looks like a draw already, Wolves way behind on possession stakes.
Ola John on for Onion

Garbage, neither side showing any urgency to try and win it.

Full Time Wigan 2 Wolves 1
Shocking performance by Wolves, Bottom of the table side having nearly 70% possession.
Look totally clueless without Bods and Mason. Gladon looks useless.
Batth looked our most dangerous up front !

Very disappointing and another 'reality check' v a team who ended a poor run against us

Thanks Ivy.
It's only appreciation that keeps me doing this when we get results and a performance like that. Wish I'd stuck to the cider now.
Wolves now 11th.

Only just read through this Ian but thanks for the updates. Wigan is probably the nearest match to be this season and i was thinking of going to the match but it seems i made the wise decision in not. I am simply losing a lot of interest in the sport and i think the news today about Sam Allardyce with his dodgy dealings with this £400k 'deal' on top of his obscene £3m annual salary is part of this reason. There is just far too much money in the game now and i am so disconnected with the whole thing
Just reading through it now. Cheers Ian, much appreciated. After actually going to the match on Saturday against Brentford I was expecting a better result than this, but then you can always rely on Wolves to b%gger it up.
