Once again we contrive to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. When all is said and done in May it is the inability of Wolves to protect a lead (or even a draw) with 5 minutes to go that will cost us. It is tight but we are still in it and we will remain so until the end. I know that Hennessey cost us today, but his performance probably saved us four or five last week and I have a feeling that it will be our goal difference that will keep us up – at the expense of Wigan, West Ham and Blackpool.

60 seconds and counting. Fingers and everything else crossed. A chance to move up 2 or 3 places. I’ve been taking a shot of vodka every five minutes since the 39th minute but at no time did I believe that we would hang on, and for the umpteenth time this season I have been proved right. We’re now bottom, no games in hand, worst goal difference and 11 games left. I’ve lived a stones throw from Molineux for over 40 years and was a sponsor when Bull, Mutch, Thompson played and Turner was the manager but why should I keep taking the pills when we’ve got Mad Mick as the manager and the other 2M’s in winter hibernation. I now live in Ukraine and this week Shakhtar Donstsk won 3-2 in Roma and Dynamo Kiev won 4-1 in Besiktas, how much longer can my Ukrainian wife put up with my tantrums after each Wolves fiascoe. She says support teams in your motherland even England won’t make the finals in Poland-Ukraine in 2012. I tell her that Wolves are still in my blood and will be till the day I die. But please get the 3M’s out of my blood system and the same goes for every other Wolves supporter wherever they live in the World.

OFF THE BOTTOM AT LEAST

But there a fine margin between success and failure and WOLVES giving so many points away at the end of soo many games could be the nails in the coffin

Mick – why did u mess about with the deffence

Mick – why did you drop Hammill

Mick – why havnt you dropped Jarvis who clearly hasnt been the same player since his england snub.

Cant argue that Mick gets his players playing for him, but his tactics are the worst ive seen in a prem manager.

totally gutted, and i cant help but think NEGATIVE Micks too blame.

Henry the crab – poor as usual, might as well be playing with 10 men when he plays.

Ward – has to play no matter what, at fault for not closing his man down.

Hennerz – looking better but still prone to errors that will knock his confidence again

Jarvis – what has happend to the man skinning defenders for fun ?????

I’ve seen Wolves play on 70+ grounds ~~ Yet, I’ll freely admit that the best manager in the world would be hard pushed to pick a decent 5-a-side team from those two squads.. And Mick McCarthy would have no chance..! Premier League..? We’re all having a laugh!!

Report abuse

All this negative criticism is nonesense. If you saw the match I would put the blame on Matt Jarvis who fluffed a chance when alone in front of Myhill and the fumbled shot by Wayne Hennessey that gave Carlos Vela the chance to equalise.
If Jarvis had scored the match would have been dead for Albion with Wolves dictating possession while the shor by James Morrison should have been held by Hennessey.
Yes Albion had the better of the second half and this was made possible as they were only a goal down instead of two which would have been difficult to overcome.
Wolves are still three points adrift of Albion but the latter’s programme is a difficult one when they have to meet Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs and another local derby at Molineux.
So come on everyone let’s see the positive side of things.

Well we knew what would happen, a below par performance, he will not pick a team to win a game, no strikers, late subs, the team dropped defensive second half to defend a one goal lead how many times has this happened, then we lose a goal to a sickener again, which is always going to happen with him in charge.

Why take Foley off unless he’s injured, match fit etc,

When is Morgan going to do something?

As for Henry, please no one tell me he had a good game, or we beat Utd etc.

Mick made uneccassary substitutions as WBA were in our pocket, they were no threat whatsoever and Mick decided to change things and 4 minutes come from???

Albion will be relegated, no doubt. They have been poor after their early season form like Hull and Burnley were and they will go down along with Blackpool and Wigan.

Albion play the most unattractive long-ball style and I had to laugh when they were booing their players!

Would have been a massive win, so am very disappointed, however it was a fair result and a decent point for us. As fans we had the fun for 91 minutes and they got 1 minute of mindless boinging (and 500 sad idiots who stopped to try to cause trouble at the end). Blackpool is a huge game and things will look good if we win it – it’s a big IF though.
O’Hara was excellent and the centre halves did well against a poor Alibion attack. Jarvo is still a good player, but admittedly not in his 2010 form (sure the England stuff is just coincidence). He did well against Jara for the frst half but seemed to fade after the miss. Henry put in some good tackles and gaveit away a couple of times.
For all those blaming ‘negative Mick’ did you notice that he bought on Ebanks to try to hold the ball up better?

Got up at 1.00.am. to watch the game here.In one way it was two points lost.Once again we conceded in the last few minutes and showed an inability to hang on to a lead by defending deeply and giving the opposition too much room while continually giving the ball away once they had got possession.

In all fairness Albion came back(it may be argued that Wolves tactics let them back in the game)and the result was a fair one.

A point yes. Unfortunately the same old inept manager cost us the win. Will he never learn, the answer is no, but what does it matter because Morgan and Moxey are also clueless about football. Oh for a decent manager. Never mind I have just renewed my season ticket for the championship.

38 Did you actually watch the game? Long ball football – are you having a laugh? Just watched the interviews on the BBC website and think Mick was watching the same game as #38. WBA 11 shots on goal – Wolves 2 shots on goal. WBA goalkeeper had nothing to do all afternoon except pick the ball out the net from a quality strike. Wolves keeper kept on his toes especially in the second half. WBA 51% possession, Wolves 49% possesson. You can’t argue with stats you don’t get 51% of the possession by hoofing the ball down the field.
It was a nailbiting game and at the end of the day I think a draw was fair.
And all these Dingles coming on here and saying WBA were crap – please take a look at your own team as well. Anyone who has seen my posts on here before will know that I’m very complimentary about the Wolves – I’m just PO’d with some of the near sighted supporters who can’t see further than the end of their nose.

Why Oh why does MM have to play so negatively. The Tesco lot down the road have the worst defense in the Premier League and what does he do – plays with just Doyle up front. It is no good saying that all the team ‘put’s in a shift’, we know that. Why does he not play with two up front eg SEB/Doyle, SEB/Fletcher, Doyle/Fletcher. This system of playing a lone striker does not work!! We can see it week in week out, why can MM not see it?
We are rapidly running out of games and patience and desperately need more points if we are to remain in the PL. I am sure that I speak for the majority of fans in saying that I would rather give it a real go and try to get something out of each game rather than this negative stance of trying to restrict the opposition and hope to score on the break, we simply do not have enough players with speed or guile to hurt other teams in and around us.
When I saw MM’s team sheet for today I expected nothing more than we got. I know local pride is at stake but I would rather have lost this one today and to win the majority of our remaining fixture if we are to stand any chance of staying up.
I have up to now always tried to defend MM’s tacticts and to get behind the team but I am now getting very annoyed with team selection and player favouritsm. Lets be more positive!!!
Come on Mick listen to the fan’s and lets give it a go or is there a hidden agenda here i.e in the light of next seasons re-development and consequential reduction of ground capacity is the management already planning for championship survival, I can’t help but wonder!!

To the Wulfs blaming MM for the substitutions, what do you suggest Mick did? Nothing? Albion pushed Olsen up front and he caused mayhem with your defence, any manager who watches that and does nothing is an idiot. Craddock sub should have happened sooner IMO.

Good Derby, but only for either set of fans, to the neutral it would have been a bit of an ordeal to sit through! A decent point for us, as it keeps the Dingles behind us, but a better point for Wigan & West Ham.

Olsen was MoM by a mile, don’t know how Brunt got it, i know supporters were booing the decision and not the player, but it was still a bit daft, as it could’ve been seen by the player as being directed at him.

Defensively we looked more solid than we have for a long time, it took a good goal by O’hara to beat the defense, we were pretty solid throughout and theres plenty of promise to come if we can stay as well drilled as this.

Report abuse

Wat a game for a start.
Let’s be a little objective for a start,sick and tried of all the negative around the 3M’s.Yes Moxey isn’t everyones cup of tea but he is trying to make theclub have a sound financial footing.Now the second M the Boss man.We need to remember where we have come from in a short space of time and where we are.Yes he has made mistake and yes has his favourites like his love child in “ward” but he has taken us to the promise land and kept us there.Maybe we should take on the Charlton theory ” he has taken us as far as he can”.get a life you moaners.
Now about the game today we had a good first half and scored a good set piece(o’hara to stay) second half the Tesco’s played well and should have won.With all the chances and play.Regarding the subs King Mick made putting on Blake for Doyle to work pace on the break and ward on tobolster the midfield would be theright choice when your trying to kill the game off and then playing Jodyon just to add more bodies to the defence.What you can defend is the lack of closing down on the shot for the goal and Waynes fumble.To the knockers remember where we came from and where we wanna be.Wolves forever .Up the Dingles

I’m an Albion fan and I have to say on this evidence we deserve to go down.

Where was the passion and desire to win other than Olsson and Jerome Thomas?

Where were the tactics – sticking with Fortuné, taking off Thomas and Dorrans? 4 – 4 – 2 clearly didn’t work as we don’t have the players.

We are a mediocre Championship side.

Let’s hope Hodgson learns that Fortuné is rubbish, that Jara’s time is up, and that Dorrans is coming back into form.

In fairness we didn’t turn up in the second half, nothing to report apart from deep defending and Jarvis’ shocker.

The lack of closing down for the equaliser was shocking, why do we never learn? This is the Premiership, you just cannot afford to let teams have free shots like that..

On the positive side, O’Hara and Stearman had superb games and we didn’t lose.

The point for Albion will be like a victory whereas for us it will be like a defeat.

The tactics have been sub-standard all season, as have the substitutions so no great surprise.

I JUST DONT GET IT!!!

all over the park we had wba beaten, then Mick steps in! why change a team doing so well? i concede that wba looked a little better after break but i still think we had the right players on pitch to grab a 2nd on break! as jarvo
nearly demonstrated! Milijas wasn’t injured nor looked tired to me so why change it? he is a guy who can split a defence or give the ball to a forwards feet, so whether mick wants to play possesion football or hit them on counter surely both him & o hara need to be on the pitch! but change it to then put doyle in a midfield position and blake up top ??? wtf? some people (NOISY) are saying he did it to help hold up ball!???? wat? im sorry blake has never or willnever be a striker that can hold up the ball for you! we had the perfect man already in that position!

Then comes another sub, jarvo off? another outlet to ease the pressure, why? your now left with no option to drop deep and invite the opposition on! which wba did time n time again until we snapped! the introduction of ward has now become silly! its an obsession! i have lost count of goals that have been conceded because of his backing off jockeying rubbish!!
& then craddock? to fit in where exactly? just confusing everyone at back is all that did!

i just think its very very poor management!

One last point, Karl Henry!! everytime he got the ball he either slowed an attacking break down, gave the ball away, passed negatively, shot way way wide or tried a hollywood ball that was nowhere near its target! granted everyone has an off day, but this is every single week!! he was having a complete shocker AGAIN so why does he not get brought off?

I will not have a go at players as i do really believe that with better management & tactics we would be in a far better position!

lose to blackpool and its curtains but lets atleast fight til the bitter end lads!!

We started off flying, with Jarvis causing loads of problems down the left,then took a well deserved lead. It sounded like Elokobi and O’Hara were both excellent, so was the rest of our hard worked defence. But alas a missed golden chance by Jarvis cost us dearly, if he had scored that i believe the game would have been over. But its been our trouble all season missed chances at vital times, and lack of goals. When your on top you need to put your chances away. But we cant expect to defend a 1-0 lead and win everytime like we did against Man U / Chelsea / Liverpool, as we are not good enough to do that consistently. Im still concerned as to why Fletcher cant get a game, when Doyle as only scored 2 plus 1 dubious goal? Why doesnt MM play him behind Fletcher? Anyway im still gutted but i did say Friday 1pt today and hopefully 3pts v Blackpool would be ok it would gives us 7pts out of 12pts, its still all to play for yet, so keep our fingers crossed.UTW:

A win would have flattered us, to be honest,and in the context of our useless Away form, a point isn’t a bad outcome.
Having said that, the concession of late goals is beyond a joke, and undoubtedly suggests a failure amongst players and coaches in terms of concentration and fitness levels.
As this represented our best chance of an away win between now and the end of the season,, i reckon the pressure is on to win at least 5 of our remaining 6 Home games; surely beyond our capabilities?

Fair credit to Wolves they worked hard and got a draw.

If only Fortune was injured we could have had Vela on from the start who looked very impressive. Fortune is useless and missed vital chances.

Watched live as always. That is 15 points dropped from a winning position this season and sixth time conceded goal last 5 minutes. Simply comes down to lack of individual quality as always.On this occasion MM tactics with subs caused downfall. Why change to 4 in midfield with just 15 to go when we were doing ok. Inexplicable. Stearman – most improved player at club this year and seems to have stopped making mistakes.

To be honest, i felt that it was our style of play that allowed theyre equaliser, not the subs. That could possibly also be down to Mick, but i feel that he wanted us to press further up the field, but we just didnt. For all the baggies fans who was praising theyre style of play, they didnt half play allot of hoof ball. We were clearly the better passing team, although they seemed to be more effective where it counted, in the final third. I can only think that maybe we need to score in the 89th minute in order to hold out for a win. Otherwise, we need to keep pressing high up the field. We were way too defensive after we scored, and had we continued to play our own game, i think we could have won comfortably.

So!

having beaten the mighty Liverpool at fortress Anfield

already this season, (not to mention victories over Mau U, Chelsea

the required wit & wisdom to have swiftly done away with ¨Our

Woys¨ (new charges) without too much trouble.

Or was it Mr McCarthy, a pure stroke of luck that we

won at Anfield, and that you were just an innocent by stander &

nothing more? What was it luck or good tactics which saw us

come away from Anfield with theponts in the bag?

Today, you stated, was our future defining moment of

the season.

The same day we had to sweat the last 50 minutes at 1-0

up, in the desperate hope that we could hang on for the win.

Whereas with a positive attacking approach, 2-0 would have

wrapped it up and we´d now be 17th in the table. A nice big pre

Blackpool booster all round. But nah, Mick, none of that eh ?

Instead it´s still Sunday and nothing´s changed. Even worse, it´s

A very poor substitution from MM, putting Craddock meant more defense but in the wrong spot. Craddock naturally moved to the 6 yard box when Jarvis would have cut out Morrisons shot as he would have defended just outside the box.

A draw was a fair result overall, but there’s little doubt ‘Nugget’ Mick’s usual negativity and subsequent meddling almost certainly cost us 2 priceless points.

We’ve lost so many points in the last few minutes of crucial games that it just cannot be an accident and will prove to be our undoing.

I’ve no problem with ‘Happy Clappers’ as such because we’re all entitled to a view. However, I would ask one of you -any one of you- to explain to me precisely HOW MUCH MORE incompetence we need to see from a Wolves manager before you finally feel able to make even the slightest complaint about his abilities. Better still, Happy Clappers, explain to me what dazzling qualities Mick possesses that keeps him in a job.

In doing so, try hard not to say: “He took us up and deserves a chance”, or even: “He inherited Hoddle’s mess, yet look at where we are now” because it’s meaningless and irrelevant. Imminent relegation thanks to Mick’s season-long tampering most certainly IS relevant, though. What will it take, though, for some of you to smell the coffee, I wonder?

Just like last week, I thought it best to sleep on it and then comment on the game. Even though it feels a bit like intruding on a Wolves Wake today.

I usually try to be positive but I thought that was one of the worst performances by an Albion team for at least ten years. I think we looked like the two poorest teams in the division on that form.

We showed little in the way of desire, professionalism or perhaps most important confidence. Wulfies may take this as a dig at them, it isn’t meant in that way but if you couldn’t beat us the way we played yesterday then you are in deep trouble.

I’m never totally down though and I think there is always something to look forward to. If I look back to the late 1990′s there seemed no hope of us ever getting back to the top tier and Wolves in the 1980′s were faced with the possibility of losing their club so both of our present day problems pale into insignificance by those standards.

I’ll leave the Wulfies to look at their positives but for us.
1. I think I saw the green shoots of a more organised defensive display (although someone should have gone with O’Hara and when Wolves had their corner we again left a 2 on 1 situation, very unprofessional.) We laso gave away less free kicks around the box.
2. I’m sure we will see a week on week improvement as RH settles in.
3. I think Vela will get more game time as apart from the goal, he looked our best forward player when he came on.
4. Most important, Youssuf Mulumbu. Our most effective player and the one we can’t replace.

PS Anyone else think that Jara looks to be half the player he was earlier in the season? I think that since the red cards and being told to rein in his aggression he now looks frightened to tackle.

If Hennessey had caught that ball and we held on for last minute and got the 3 points, MM would have been the best manager we had ever had!!! Hennessey made some fantastic saves during the match and made one mistake, he’s only human, but I get sick to death of everyone blaming certain players, managers etc.. we were 1 minute away from another historic match, and for the record, Sandwell Town have just got a new manager and guess what, they drew 1-1!!! Don’t hear for Hodgson to be sacked!!!!!

SERIOUSLY if anyone on this site beleives MICK is a good manager at this level,needs to book a doctors appointment or even better go straight to hospital.
Mick as constantly made error prone decisions,last couple of games HAMILL as looked good against stronger opposition,Jarvis is off the boil,yet mad MICK picks the out of form player!!
Doyle as had 2 shots on goal in the last 5 games,the goal against MAN U can be argued was ELOKOBI’S.Yet muppet cant see this and does not know we have to score to win!!Ward is brought on and does what he as done all season backed off and allows to much room for attacking players always yet MICK still plays him!!Millijias the one true player maker always comes off,yet HENRY the back passer stays on!!!Henry can make some terrific tackles I am aware,but he as nothing else in his locker!!
Cant mick see we defend at our worse when we have 9 players behind the ball!!!?When we were sitting back how many times did albions wingers find space,MANY TIMES!!!The players cannot defend as a unit,just cant they flap,watch the match in detail,we are defending yet it seems we are constantly playing 3 defenders against 7 attackers!!!
MICK GET OUT NOW!!!

To my inexpert eye Wolves suddenly looked like a team. They have not looked like this for some time.

They were very unlucky not to win but quite honestly the result was a good one nevertheless. Neither side can blame their close neighbour if they end up being relegated. Imagine what the baggies fans would have done if they had lost!

Once again, however, I believe a degree of complacency crept in towards the end of the game. I think Mr. McCarthy needs to teach his team the game is not over until the final whistle blows. I think the supporters needed to learn that too.

Turnaround begins with a draw. Wolves now need to start winning with a vengeance.

I think everyone needs to take off their “tinted glasses” and look at the facts about this game.
Which game some people were watching I don’t know, the truth is –
Wolves started the better, Albion looked nervous.
BOTH teams had good chances in the first half, O’ Hara’s goal was a quality strike.
Jarvis missed a sitter in the 2nd, but then it was all Albion until the final whistle.
One more stat to add to all the shots on targets etc. – Man of the match – according to Sky – was going to tbe Hennessey until his blunder. So there you go, when a goalie is the man of the match it shows you the way the game went.

Despite two seasons in the Premiership, the club management and coaching team have not reasoned out why the team scraped by last season, and are in dire trouble this year. Whilst Hennessey did fumble the ball prior to the WBA goal, it was the fault of the defence not Hennessey and it was the most bizarre substitution ever made in the history of the Wolves, Craddock. The defence had somehow managed to cope, but Mick, why oh why? It shows that his substitutions are done an a whim. Being stubborn is one thing but M.M has gone beyond the pale.there was no tactical reason for the change.

Yes, the Wolves defence was at the limit of its powers but they were surviving; Tinkerman 2 has arrived.

Do the coaching staff realise that certain players need rest from the weekly grind of fighting off relegation. Some revel in a dog fight whilst players such as Jarvis, who are in general attacking players, may not have this resiliance in a long campaign. Big George does enjoy this type of game, never dodges the issue despite his shortcomings. No doubt O’Hara fits into this type of player

Perhaps , for the last few matches, the E&S will stop the players huffing and puffing via the paper, and let them concentrate on the next game. Stop putting those stupid marks and statistics which do nt mean a dam thing except fill the page up with nonsense.

Why are we bottom of the league table? Is it because the defence lets too many goals in or is it because the forewards fail to score goals?

157. Grace. You say that Albion are a poor team & will be relegated at the Custard Bowl in April, your team managed one shot on target and forced one corner during the game. What does that say about the Wolves?.

163.Crockett48. Well said my Wulfie friend. I’d like to add that the supporters were more sporting too back then. You would not have had flares and fist-fights, just a feast of football. Of course, both teams were in the upper reaches of Division 1 which helped our feeling of well-being, but where the Hell has all this hatred come from?

Cyril – I was taught as a kid that Villa were our main rivals throughout the 80′s.

My 1st derby experience was when Darren Bradley got that superb winner what with all the atmosphere and hatred within the ground made me realise that Wolves are way more fierce rivals to us.

The Albion vs Wolves game is very special and the hype built up around it makes it all the better. We are all very passionate people who love our team and with it being such a rare occasion that both teams are in the top flight. Albion fans have a sense of humour and the wulfies are the more serious expectant type which makes it all the better.

Plus 1996 was a long time ago….

Obviously, ALBION were coming to grips with the new format laid down by our new Head Coach. Sorted by the second half, giving way to Olsson being able to forage in the wolves half. The time spent in the wolves half was amazing, their full backs Doyle and Jarvis were stretched to the limit, with Jarvis heading off the line. Mick had to compensate by the way of substitutions, as ALBION threatened to over run wolves. We can now concentrate on playing proper football teams, that don’t park the bus to scrape a point. no wonder wolves concede so many late goals that will, unfortunately, be the undoing of their Premiership challenge. wolves will be over run by Blackpool’s attacking flare, led by C.Adam. Thank you Roy, your coaching prowess is showing already.

Some very immature comments on here from both sides, grow up people. For anyone who actually watches football and understands it we can all see that the Alb**n were on top for the last 35 mins and it was only a matter of time before the goal came (unfortunatley we could not hold on for 2 mins longer) Some of thier dominence in the last period of the game has to be laid at MM’s feet as he must have told them to go out and hold on and then in my opinion unsettled things with taking off Foley and Jarvis for SEB and Craddock. On the whole looking at the whole game a draw was a fair result. Not really good for either team as I believe we are both deep in the brown stuff now looking at their run in and our lack of goals and results against the lower teams in the Prem. Heres to hoping both can scrap out of it but I think a minimum of 1 of us will go down (if this is the case hope its them not us)

If what your saying is right then Wolves have been very very lucky, I mean seriously whats the chances in a season that you play liverpool, Man city, Man Utd and Chelsea and they all just happen to have an off day when we play them. Plus most of the villa Brum derbies in recent years have been of sunday league standard, doesn’t mean that they both can’t play good football. Derbies Very rarely have good football played in them!

Absolutely thrilled, feels like a win. Thought it was gonna be one of those days when it just wasn’t gonna go into the net. Absolutely priceless silencing those Dingles who thought they’d managed to get a win at the Hawthorns, finally. Loved it.
How did they manage to get a point yesterday? I’m not surprised Wolves are languishing in the relegation zone with displays like that. Only 2 shots on target and 1 corner. Myhill didn’t have a save to make did he?. I’m unsure whether Wolves were just dismal in attack or Hodgson has managed to sort out our defence, me thinks it’s likely to be the Wolves attack. They were very, very lucky to get a point yesterday. But for one superb shot from O’Hara they didn’t create anything. Their only chance came from our defensive mistake and they blew it. And yes I know we may very well go down with ya but a least we know how to entertain. If that display yesterday is typical of your game, I feel sorry for ya.
BOING, BOING.

175. They didn’t take you seriously, putting out their strongest side just meant they expected to roll you over more easily … once a team starts in the wrong frame of mind they find it hard to lift the level. How else do you explain your ability to beat the top teams but fail to beat the rest?

Mmmmmmmm me thinks Mick cost us the game. Jamie scores a goal worthy of any Premier League player (it was from outside of the box too, he will be dropped for that)& we then sit back in the 2nd half & hoof the ball up to allow the Baggies tall defenders to bring it on again. The Jarvis miss was criminal in games like these. All he had to do was compose himself. Why didn’t Hammil come on to replace Jarvis. I don’t blame Henners for the goal Ward didn’t close Morrison down & he was unsighted.

There we go again 90+ minutes & we stop defending. Where did the 4 minutes come from. One day the footballing god will take the stripey Blue & White shirt with the Budgie emblem off & put a Black n Gold one on —
