Away from home, Kenny Jackett's men have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches.
And the one player most teams would know not to leave unmarked is Daryl Murphy baca use he knows how to score goals!! Our heads are down again, and we're making it easy for Ipswich
All over and two good goals from Wolves to get a good result in my opinion, considering our record against them. Good to see Afobe back on the scoresheet
BBC just said it wasn't great, both sides as poor as each other defensively speaking.
I know it's a journalist job to sensationalise these day, even the BBC now, but they opened the match report by asking "has Kenny Jackett done enough to save his job". Really ?
i thought we started well gave away the goal they played better for awhile got the goal back even again to half time they started better got a goal again a mistake by ikeme we got our second goal could have gone either way at the end i thought graham had a good game
to be fair to badge, i listened to it on the radio as well and we sounded f#cking awful until 5 mins from the end, andy thompson and his co presenter said the same, they also said its the way we've been playing for most of the season, andy thompson reckons we cant even string to passes together were that bad, and our defending is even worse
They did say we started well but was sloppy at the back. We lost our way and pulled it all square. However second half they said we was awful until we made it 2-2. They did praise Graham and Price mind you and also said Afobe at times dis-heartend for a better word with the ball keep being hoofed up towards him in stead of quality balls he could work off.
wouldn't it be nice for once, for us to put in a half decent performance,any manager worth his salt could at least do that. if we played as good as he talked we would be top of the league.another load of b#llshit friday, another let down saturday, same old story, perhaps i'me asking to much of the poor little kenny he is under a lot of pressure. i hope for his sake we beat mk dons next week
There's no reason we can't get a draw against MK if we have a bit of luck , defend for our lives and jackett makes some astute cunning substitutions if we're behind which is likely. Picture the scene, 1-0 down with a minute to go and Jackett makes a game changing substitution to rescue a point from the jaws of defeat just in time to make the xmas dvd sales winning Jackett manager of the month from sky. We can but dream

well he is king kenneth angry, anything could happen, he did manage only just to lose against bristol city, ok they did batter us for 90 mins but it was only 1-0 and they have got the impressive record of 2 wins in 13 games. and also we only just got beat by bolton, ok again it was only their first win all season in 18 games but then again we done ever so well to get a 1-0 defeat out of it but were ticking along nicely that's all that counts, it doesn't matter that were sh#te every week and cant string two passes together, well done king kenneth
