According to the BBC live text, Ikeme has saved twice in the whole game. Saved two, conceded two. That’s without their missed penalty shocker.

Love the fact that there are people on here slagging off some of our players performances without actually being there. Wish I could manage that - it’d save me a fortune getting up to Wolverhampton every other week.

Thank goodness, a great away win, even though Collins did his best to give it away. Stearman and Shackell in defence and Collins out and we should be ok.

57. Windsor….well spoken my friend. It’s surprising how many armchair critics we have !!
In my book it doesn’t matter how we win ‘em as long as we do win ‘em.
60. Raffo you must have moved at the speed of light to get to a computer to post that comment - I take it you weren’t there my friend. It really does make me wonder how people can moan so much when we are still 2nd in the table.
Report abuse
Watford in defence as bad - but we are worse-What is going on where is the best Goalkeeper in a Wales Shirt and why play Collins again–Okay we won but by the grace of god-Was confined to listen and I have to say it sounded like a “Comedy of Errors” for the GRANDE–Come on MM get the defence right its more of good fortune that we are where we are-Can judge for myself at the Swansea game–Okay we won-but I cannot see any improvement in us-to rave about–Need two experienced defenders in -IN JANUARY– Goalkeepers do no fumble and stumble persistantly and play the next game—-Crazey Dave

By the was E&S yopur report is scant but the Commentators on Sky and radio were scathing about both defences–Do not flower it up- What have the AWAY FANS got to report–CD

I love reading these comments. Currently overseas with the RAF and some of you lot don’t half cheer me up and make me smile. Cheers. There are some absolute corking comments on here. I wasn’t at the game….obviously, so I can’t possibly comment on players performances…..funny how some can.

Get real & get behind the lads.

wot a result, got some luck on our side finally with the penalty. Surely its time for a Sterman Shackell centre.
Wot Foley songs can we sing on tuesday lads?? Man of the season so far!!

Report abuse
I see the sycophants are trying to surpress free speech again. Probably the same people who keep voting for Labour’s NuStasi.
In the vain hope that we might discuss stats constructively (waste of time on here, probably), but the criticisms today revolve around goalkeeper and defence.
So, the first and most important stat is that we are scoring more than we are conceding and are second in the table and looking healthy because of it. Wonderful, delightful, let’s all have a party because it’s brilliant. Fine.
However, we have conceded 21 goals. Forest are bottom having conceded 22. Next it’s Doncaster in 23rd who have conceded 21 - same as us. In 22nd are Southampton who have also conceded 21 - same as us. 21st placed Barnsley have conceded 16.
In our league matches, we have kept TWO clean sheets in thirteen games.
If getting nervous about the way we allow goals in makes people traitors, Wolves haters, Baggies fans or Father Christmas, then so be it.
But it strikes me that those who try to surpress any form of observation unless it’s utterly totally sycophantic, blinkered nonsense are those who are fanatical which in moderated quantities is charming, but to excess can be very dangerous.

Could all those armchair fans who don’t even attend the games please stop moaning about the players, Mick and all the Worlds ills because of them - we’re second, 5 pts clear of Reading and still favourites for promotion. Collins never impressed me last season but has come good this year, every single player has a bad game even Kites, yes it’s true. Get behind the team because boos and moans only helps the opposition teams. Up the Mighty Wolves
Report abuse
Fair play.
You guys took the chances and looked lively on the break.
Maybe a draw would have been fair but then we took 6 points off you last season when you were the better side twice.
I’d say you are on of the top 3 sides we have played so far (attack wise) and your defence held on well.
I could have told all you worried fans we’d miss the penalty because we’re rubbish at them.

Raffo why don’t you get yourself down to tesco town this club really doesn’t need people like you! Bet you were calling for hennessey’s head when he netted against Reading! Second in the table and yet you still whinge and moan! What are you on!?
Report abuse
loads of armchair warriors shouting for people’s heads when they haven’t seen any of the game - get a life ffs - Ikeme has had good reports whenever he played (ok he made ONE holwer at Norwich) so what’s your problem, maybe there’s something in the Hennesey leaving in Jan rumour so MM is trying to get our Carl aclimatised to league football

we never play well at watford ,so lets stop being negative and lets get behind the lads on tuesday ,come on WOLVES

come on boys get behind the team. we won. celebrate. dont berate
Report abuse
Are you guys that want Hennessey in the same ones that wanted him out after the “Debacle” against Reading? Oh!! I thought so. You amaze me that you have to single out players when you:
a) Were listening on the radio.
b) Couldn’t see the players.
c) Forget that we won the game.
d) Don’t seem to be aware we are second from the top, and not second from the bottom.
Collins won a great deal of challenges in the air today, and made some very timely interceptions. He made a few errors, but which defenders don’t?
Ikeme was probably at fault for their second goal, but I wouldn’t have blamed him for the first goal. (Still, I didn’t hear it on WM or Beacon, so what would I know?) For their second goal he was a little too bothered with watching for the players who would be running in, and their bloke (Smith I think) whipped it in with pace, and left him scrabbling, and O’ Toole was able to score.
I would play Hennessey on Tuesday, and maybe Shackell instead of Collins. Not because either Ikeme or Collins are poor, but both need a break. (Even if only from some of you.)

good win today, lets follow it up on tuesday night against swansea.
isnt murray fit now? if hes not going to play hennessey then play murray because were letting to many sloppy goals in at the moment & you have to blame the gk.

I WAS ACTUALLY AT THE GAME.IKEME HAD NO BLAME FOR THE GOALS.HE WAS SOLID.PLEASE DO NOT SLAG PLAYERS OFF FROM ARMCHAIR,REGARDS
Report abuse
happy about the win, pretty poor game but still managed the 3 points.
i think with the sale of hennessey we should get in 2 defenders cos collins is absolutely useless (how many times do we need to witness it) and ive not much faith in shackell.
on the plus, kightly and foley were class of the field, and iwelumos got a goal behind him now im sure he’ll be back on top in no time.
mick sort out that defence and we’ll give the blues a run for their money this season.
COME ON YOU WOLVES !!
Report abuse
You have to say well done to the lads for grinding out a result. It didnt sound pretty but we needed it. I hope MM hasnt got one of these stubborn attitudes about the keeper now. The club and the fans come way above any personal gripe he may have. Hennessey has to start. There is a common denominator as to why we have leaked so many goals in recent games - individual errors !! Work on eliminationg those and get your best players back in and it can only get better again. Optimism reigns for me !! Come on Wolves !!

Constructive criticism I see after a well-earned and difficult three points. I hope to God you aint a season ticket holder. I went and although one was his fault, there’s no need to barrack him. He’s a Wolves kid, come through the ranks and its muppets like you who put him and Keogh etc. down, that stop players from properly performing because they are too scared to make an error!
Well done boys!

I understand that Collins needs a break, but not Ward.
Ward has been superb, he has not just done a job, he has been our best left back available.
He is no Elokobi who owns that position but if the choice is Daniel Jones, Mickey Gray or Ward, I know who i will choose. Or do you want Collins at left back??
I am a little confused by the Ward bashing.
Anyway centre half has to be Steaman and Shakell, it is the only way forward now.
