collins at fault for both goals tho the 2nd was a foul

Report abuse

Think we witnessed the best and worst of the frustration that is Neill Collins today. Did well to pressure for the goal, and made 2 excellent last ditch blocks to keep close range efforts out.
But his decision making for the first goal I think will baffle us all and he was far to easily pushed off the ball for the 2nd.

My thoughts, we are conceeding to many goals at present, averaging still a goal and 2 a game but you can’t expect to continue our push conceeding the same too.

Also Mick should shoulder some of the blame, I watched in amazement how the big ox that is Adebola bullied our back line in the wind, why did he not bring Vokes or Iwulemo on sooner?? After we went 2-0 up we far to easily lost the ball up front. Also the Matt Hill change should of come sooner as he was never really going today.

I think we are still ok, we are our own worst enemies at present giving away daft goals and still look a danger going forward. Also Blues still look creaky and Reading are too error prone every 4-5 games. A centre back is needed urgently.

Disappointing to draw after being ahead 2-0. Defensive errors again.We need to get another central defender and midfielder before the window closes.

Report abuse

We have to bring in a quality defender,Collins not the answer. How can you step up for an offside
when the balls already been played. He was also slow to pick up Elliot against Preston. When your
two nil up away from home you need quality to hold that lead. The Collins lovers, he,s got a big Heart,but not the quality to sustain a promotion push. MM must act now before it blows up
in our face. Postive Jarvis and Kightly.

wat a disgrace we will blow this agen this year mark my words we cant even see a 2 goal lead out,and people wolves fans wat eva will u start realisng collins is rubbish and costing us results i dont care if he scores he can score 50 goals but i will make 52 mistakes,we am not ready for prem face it,big chance today and still blow it rubbish

I feel disappointed as we were two nil up but i think 2-2 was not a bad result, im opptomistic about the reading game as i think we can go there and turn them over, either way we STILL need a defender as collins is too slow.

poor tactics from mm city had nothing untill adebola came on, our answer was two lightweights for subs, we should have put iwellumo on jst to counter the physical presence of adebola for the last ten mins. we paid the price of not having a good stopper at the back.

What a missed opportunity! Just not good enough without Mancienne at the back, even with Foley playing again. Conceading goals didn’t matter at the start of the season when SEB+co had their shooting boots on, but we seem to be doing our best to throw points away too consistently now. Makes me nervous at the thought of going to the Madjeski in 10 days time!

I’m afraid MM has got to get another centre half. Poor Collins was shown up again by a pacey centre forward. Just a thought but why didn’t Stearman mark Adebola?? MM must also get someone else for midfield. We lost it in that second half, Henry and Jones are not physical enough for the whole game.

Report abuse

Knowing the results of Reading and Blues before the game im sure most people would of taken a point.But squandering a two goal lead has only highlighted our defensive frailties once again.It seems that Collis jitters are now starting to affect Stearman who were both given the run around by two average journeymen Championship forwards-dosent bode well with the likes of Owen,Agbonlhaur,Ronney,Berbatov etc possibly next season! Karl Henry carnt tackle the opposition and some times he seemed to be tackling himself!!! And why did MM take off SEB-and why two substitutions at the same time???-why not stretch them out over a few minutes to waste a bit of time while we were leading??? Of course this wasnt nowhere near the Preston shambles,a point in the right direction in terrible conditions.Still a central defender and leading midfilder needed.Oh and it was Kightlys goal-i’d hate Collins to claim it!!!

Mick Time to get a centre back who can play football with his feet and brain not just one who can head the ball out of defence

Yet again, we don’t have the killer punch. Just look at how Man U. (spit) have just moved to the top of the Premiership with a totally ruthless and clinical operation.

We can’t manage that in the Championship, and in the Premiership we will be crows bait (whatever that is!)

Report abuse

Our defence needs a shake up, however, the weather took its toll on both teams, so a fair result.

Keep Chris out until he regains form, also start Ebanks on the bench next match as he has lost form also.
I thought Ward, Kightly, and Keough played well.

Adebola pushed Stearman – though a draw was probably fair: Henessey MOM.

What a joke 2-0 up with a howling gale behind them and they fail to deliver not good enough 2 more points lost we should be well clear of the pack but we always find a way of shooting ourselves in the foot.
If MM cannot finally see that Collins is a total liability then we can forget promotion as all other teams we meet from now on are going to target this guy as he is our weakest link without a doubt.

Report abuse

Sorry, but Neill Collins needs to go. Fair play to him, he scored, but he was responsible for the both goals and if we still had Mancienne, we would have won the game. Come on Wolves, get a new centre back!!!

In the end we were guilty of some very poor defending.MM’s comments on the teletext,Well MM how many times have you said that this sason so When are you going to do something about it? Leaving Shackell on the bench until the 91st minute was diabolical,With Stearman suspended for Saturday then surely Shack’s needs some match practice and also Adebola was tearing Collins apart.MM you seem to be totally Blinkered in your desire to play certain players no matter what the cost to the team,2 points dropped again last night could prove oh so vital come May.It is totally obvious that Money needs to be invested urgently to shore up this defence.When are we going to see the Quality Signings we have been promised.

Report abuse

I am not a ‘Collins basher’, but both goals were his fault yesterday. He stepped up for offside AFTER the ball was laid through, Adebola of all people exposing his lack of pace, and then got knocked off the ball too easily for the second. A good honest player, but not fast enough and not clever enough for us. 2 points thrown away. Yes, he got a goal but it was quite a simple gift from their keeper. Reading will expose his frailties Tuesday week. What has happened to Shackell?

Report abuse

collins at fault for first adelbola goal, we desperately need 2 good central defenders, sometimes i feel stearman is running around clueless,foley wasnt up to his best, kightly is taking a good half an hour to wake up and get started, luckily reading lost and bham drew

Report abuse

Oh man

How Frustrating is it to watch at the minute!!!

Yet more schoolboy defending, Collins has to be taken out of the team & Shackell given a run before the window closes.Hennessey was also at fault for 1st goal, which was the 1st thing he had to do all night!!!!

However we passed the ball better than we have in weeks, no coincidence Henry & Jones playing together again in midfield, both were excellent & Kites is returning to form.

Play like this & tighten up at the back & we will be ok, even though we missed an opportunity to punish the chasing pack last night!!!!

This comment is typical of someone seeing their cup half empty. We are 5 yes 5 points clear and have yet to play the only two teams anywhere close to us.

A good point in atrocious conditions but disappointing to lose a two goal advantage. Wolves are the best team in the division when Kightly and Jarvis are both playing but it won’t have escaped anybody’s attention that we were conceding too many goals before Mancienne arrived and we are doing so again now he has gone.

Why didn’t McCarthy bring on Iwelumo for Keogh in the 2nd half? When they brought on Adebola he caused havoc in our defence, the conditions suited his style of play as they would for Iwelumo, so why couldn’t thick Mick see that? He also brought on Vokes too late in the game.

Report abuse

Not a good result. If you want automatic promotion you go to places like Bristol and win it 3-0. Something isn’t right at the moment with wolves. They played better than against Preston but just didn’t make loads of chances just a few. Its the defence that isn’t helping. Neil Collins isn’t good enough they need a good young defender. Wish we could get mancienne back. I still think wolvezs need a midfielder. I don;t understand it with mcarthy. Hes been given 12 million pounds and hasn’t spent a penny of it when you can see what they need. Ridiculous.

Report abuse

Good performance in general. We were exploited through the middle of defence every time. With Mancienne in the team I reckon we would have destroyed them.

Collins wasn’t too bad, just lets himself down with stupid errors. But if you look at the way Keogh has been fired up by Mick recently, you should understand if he can do the same to Collins we have an almost complete defender on our hands.

if our form hadnt dropped by 60% we would be 10-12 points clear by now.im not a doom and gloom merchant but its not looking good.we need to get a quality defender,we seem to have lost our way.almost feel draws against anyone will be as good as it gets ! hope im so wrong

Please wake up Mr McCarthy, we need to sign a couple of VERY GOOD DEFENDERS. Yes I know the conditions were atrocious, but we shouldn’t be losing 2 goal leads when we are top of the league and at this point in the season. Can we also have a new central midfielder plese. When is Morgan going to spend some of the £30 million he promised when he bought the club?
For those of you who will tell me to stop moaning, yes I know we’re top of the league by 5 points, but we all admit we’ve not played as well recently as earlier in the season and I for one would like to see us put the ‘P’ word beyond doubt by making some good signings and killing off the opposition. It’s time to get ruthless.

Report abuse

Terrible conditions to play “good” football in, thought keogh was average AGAIN, cant see why he gets a start over volkes or Iwelumo. Clearly missing Manciene at the back, although collins gives 100% it dow make up for quality. BIG opportunity to go clear at the top missed, now Reading is a must not loose game. Moxey please invest in quality defender and midfielder as 60 million is alot of money to miss out on if we dont go up… invest now.

Will the Neil Collins fan club and its chairman MM finally now admit that the guy is a walking disaster.
If in the end we do not get promotion it will be down to this player who week in week out lets down his team.For the first goal he looked like his was running in quick sand whilst Adebola walzed past him and for the secong failed completely to use his considerable frame to give as good as he got.

MM PLEASE open your eyes

Would have been great to be a couple of points further from the blouses. However we’re not in bad shape – need to strengthen in the window, defence not looking so strong without ward and mancienne plus one midfielder and one striker who is a cut above what we already have. Actually we have the midfielder we need in mark davies.

The Reading match is going to be crucial – a draw would do us, they need to win that game but a draw would be a great result for us.

Now let’s take boro apart on the weekend. WE ARE WOLVES!!!

Since Manciene left the defence is leaking like a sieve again and unless we can change that we will continue to leave points on the table. We are lucky that the chasing teams are slipping up aswell.

I really feel sorry for Neil Collins because deep down he must know he is’nt the fans favourite.
You can’t take it away from him that he always puts in his all in every game and his passionate,but he simply is’nt up to the standard we need which is a shame because if we had 11 Neil Collins who put as much effort in his game then we would be further out in front.
Never mind still five points clear so any of us would of taken that at the start of the campain but we desperately need a pacey centre back now!!!

Report abuse

Missed opportunities again, thought we had chances to put it out of sight at 2-0, with Ebanks Blake and Keogh chances.

I feel sorry for Collins, did well all game and two minor errors cost us. Thought that the defense wasnt good, and Stearman made errors and so did Foley, its just that the only erros that cost us was from Collins.

Come on boys, I think that three points on Tuesday will see us automatic.

Kightly and Jarvis superb again!!!!

I forgot to mention Keogh. I’m sorry, but MM has had 2 years to assess the lad, and he’s just not good enough. He runs around like a mad man, but is just not good enough as a forward. He’s a mid fielder at best ( not a winger).. but frankly, hes just not good enough, and we all know it. Collins is no where near good enough either of course.

MM fully to blame. He’s throwing away all our good work with barmy tactics, and even worse substitutions.

To not have either of our top scorers ( and the leagues) on the pitch when we are chasing a winner is criminal in my book.

Utter disgrace.

Report abuse

Yeah I know, just checked, got mixed up. I think Reading will be another game that could be another battering, although I think Reading are a little overated. Swansea are a good team, who play good attacking football. They keep the ball well, and score goals too.

I think if we play well, and score first, Mick will make sure this time that we defend the lead, especially because it could be a pivital time. If we win, I think we’ll get automatic. If we lose, I think we’ll cock it up.

And another thing, why knock Keogh, he was fantastic, put 110% in, and played with passion and heart, thought he should have done better with that chance that glanced off his foot, but still we was 2 up, so you can’t put the blame on him.

And like I said before, Collins is a litlle unlucky at times, I think if the fans and Mick stick by him, he will improve.

I remember when Craddock was going through that stage, when in the Prem, and the season after. But once he had the fans behind him and the manager, he has been superb ever since

Up the Wolves!!!!!!!

I also think all we need is one central defender and Defensive Midfielder.

That should be enough..

We would get killed in the Prem, MM would still plat his Love kids, so whats the use of going up. On that showing on Sat we would need to spend at least 200 Million, could you see it, MM would still be buying cheap.

Report abuse

i am not a collins hater,far from it becus the last few games the lad gives his all and has played OK. HOWEVER, saturday just highlighted the good and bad of the lad and to put it bluntly, he simply ain’t good enough. He has tryed and tryed but his lack of pace and error-prone ways are costing us points. We should of won saturday,for large sections of the game we outplayed city and made them look plain rubbish. I thought kightly was back to his brilliant best and jarvis does what he always does, terrorises teams. We need a decent centre back in alongside stearman as the awkwardness of collins is rubbing off on stears and affecting his normal high levels of confidence. I dont care who it is just as long as they have pace and are strong in the tackle and physically so we can deal with the cart horse type players like adebola.
I also agree that we need something else in centre mid. Altho i dont think its to replace jones as his passing and distribution are what hold our midfield 2gether. We need something to give henry a kick up the jacksey as he is complacent and drifts in and out of games far too much for a “hard-tackling” centre midfielder. Ive saw rumours about us signing ched evans…now i dont think we need striker cover but that kid is talented and he aint ever gunna get into citys team now.That would be good business!

both centre-halves are a liability

stearman could have been sent off due to immaturity (hacking the ball away) and a stupid foul

Report abuse

Collins wasn’t fouled if one of our Cf’s did that to a big defender we would be saying what great forward play & great strenght shown, Collins is supposed our ‘powerhouse’ (tongue firmly in cheek!!!)at the back & he got knocked about like a little boy.

What he should have with 3 minutes to go is make sure that by, whatever means possible Adebola did not get past him, he hedn’t been booked & wasn’t the last man so couldn’t be sent off.

What this shows is that he is not one paced on the deck, but worse still also one paced upstairs as well, the guy needs to be taken out of the side as he is a liability.

What was he thinking of trying to play Adebola offside when HE was goalside & playing him on, beegars belief!!!!

Other than the joke defending, thought we played really well, Bristol didn’t have a kick 1st half.

Midfield was superb, 2 more assists for Kites, Jones & Henry hardly gave a ball away, best we have passed the ball for weeks.

Keep the faith

Report abuse

I am 10000 miles away and saw the match live. As everybody, we realised that Collins was at fault on both goals. Stearman should avoid picking stupid yellow as it put unnecessary pressure on him afterwards: he should be the one to stick with Adebola but could not because of his yellow. Also, why don’t MM replaced Hill earlier as he was struggling and too fiercy at times; he finished injuring himself. Why do we buy Shackell for million and he is not considered better than a once-transfer-listed Collins by MM. Is he slower than Collins?
How is it that we conceded the 2nd goal when our backline so high upfield? Can’t we control better the game with 3 minutes left?
Why are we refusing gifts from the other teams? We have a young team and I think that we lacked an experienced player like Craddock last saturday!
Fortunately, this year, most of the other teams are more crap than us!!!

Report abuse

A further note, I hope MM, realises that over the last few games Wolves form has dipped. Big Chris no goal in 7 Games is not good, but our defence is like a sieve. Neil Collins needs to be dropped! End of story, he is a accident waiting to happen and if MM thinks he is a 4 year contract player then I must start to think about playing football too. 2 weeks left until the window shuts and I want Wolves to get in at least 4 new players to challenge the 1st team because the current team is just not on the ball. If MM thinks the defence is strong enough then I am sorry we are going to blow it and blow it BIG STYLE. So come Morgan, flash the cash you are the 20th wealthiest owner in british football so you tell MM to bring in quality and preferably from the premiership!!!

Report abuse

Wolves defence has been a shambles for some time, bring back Craddock, that is more than three steps backwards. Youth wins matches not old men. The trouble we are in stems from the Hayward days and those supporters who and he went to Watford and guess what. He proved a point with less talented players than he left.

M. M chops and changes players without rhyme or reason and fails to spot those who cannot pass a ball. Too many of the team fail to pass the ball when a colleague is open and finish up giving it aways to the opposition. Dare Icomment upon a Jarvis run for goal against Britol City and with two colleagues in prime position failed to pass them the ball.He tried a shot when he was not in position to so. Time and time again they fail to give Blake the ball when he is open and then when he is covered they decide to make Blake run for an impossible ball. Wake up you Wolves coaches.

I am still awaiting for an answer on how many of the Wolves players paying are admission money as they only seem to be spectators for most of the match.

As for promotion? Does any one believe that the club could survive the first week in the Premiership with the way the current squad, or is it the coaching side, approach matters? Stearman shows promise but playing him out of position will not help him to form stabily in defence . Long lasting partnerships will give it the foundations to stop it giving goals away.

Report abuse

How many back fours have we tried this season? A DOZEN? It must be around that figure, surely?

Injuries/suspensions aside, there’s been too many unnecessary changes performed by Mick. Overall, I applaud his efforts because there’s no denying he’s done an excellent job at the club. Nevertheless, he has a really grating habit of playing square pegs in round holes even when there’s pressing urgency to do so.

Defensively, we’re a joke.

Considering that Mick was an accomplished, international centre-half himself, how come he still hasn’t rectified our most glaring weakness? That’s what astounds me most.

Report abuse

Vast majority here share my opinion that Collins is costing us. Over and over again he’s left with his head in his hands as another howler costs us points.
I’m sick and fed up of seeing him with his bloody head in his hands!
And yet, it’s not his fault. It’s the manager who keeps picking him when anyone who’s ever kicked a ball can see how inept Collins is.
I can’t help liking MM as a bloke but as our manager I’m beginning to detest him!
His insistence on Keogh, Collins and Ward beggars belief.
If he was manager of a World X1, MM would pick Stephen Ward – striker, left winger, left back, goalkeeper, anybloodywhere but he’d pick him.
And handing Collins a 4 year contract was simply amazing. Talk about rewarding mediocrity!!
And just what has MM got against our own, home-grown youth players? We hear a lot about his youth policy but only if they’re from Scunthorpe or Balymena or Glentoran.
Come on Mick, what have our own kids done to you? You know? The ones who got you out of the shit and into the play-offs when you came here?
Mark Little, Daniel Jones, Lewis Gobern and especially Mark Davies all farmed out on loan and all excelling wherever they’ve gone.
But no, MM prefers Stephen Ward (signed as a so-called striker) in preference to any of our own academy products.
Lescott, Keane, Hennessy would never have had a kick if he’d been here earlier.
Davies (captain of England at every youth level) looks cert to be playing in the Prem within 3 years and yet I fear it won’t be with us.
MMs stubborn determination to play Keogh, Collins and Ward led to failure last season and if they stay in the team we’ll fail again.
Never mind Blues and Reading. Sheff Utd, Preston, Cardiff and Burnley are all threats the way we’ve been playing of late.
It could only happen at the Wolves and yet it always does!!

Great coming on here and laughing at all you moaning Wolves followers, you were lucky to get out of Ashton Gate with a draw. 2-0 up and big Dele tore your defence to shreds, call him what you like but the mighty Wolves could not handle him, and poor old Collins he must be desperate to play for you shower. How Wolves are top of the league by 5 points is a complete mystery, perhaps Sherlock Holmes can work it out. Reading are in different class to you lot, based on what i say saturday, and your Blue nosed friends from down the M6 are also a better team, so all it leaves me to say to you Wolves moaner’s is, see you next season. LAUGHS OUT LOUD.

Red Ken, some of the comments that i would like to write back to you about reading, wouldnt be posted, and i wouldnt want to lower myself to your standards!
Wolves are top because they have the most points so far this season, or are you unable to count? and spell for that matter?
anyway, we will see where the so called “mighty reading” are at the end of the season, no doubt in the playoffs losing in the first round of games!
maybe see u next season, in the cup!
“LAUGH OUT LOUD”

WOOOAHHH Wolfie, I’ve been voicing my concern bout the defence for ages. Even before Elokobi snuffed it I mentioned how I couldnt believe we were still relying on the likes of Craddock to prop up our defence…

anyways, its all minor detail now – mick is clearly showing signs of last season, playing favourites and not fixing the glaring obvious faults.

like our fine in-bred colleague ken points out we are not the best team in this league, we’re good going forward but put us under any pressure and we fold like a napkin.

Ad Mant, completely agree with you, up until now we have been relying on our strikers to score more than the oposition,and now they are slowing down, it shows the true holes in our defence!
We need to change it before its too late!

Nice one Grace any chance of using spell check, or speaking English you cabbage. Wolfy the lights are on, but your still as dim as last season, with your usual dribble on here.See you next season.
