VERDICT: Fans underwhelmed by Wolves

Peter Abbott (London Wolves)

What's your verdict on the match? As ever, super David Edwards pops up to score again at Ewood Park, for the third successive season, albeit only after failing with a number of other chances in his more advanced role today.

Bodvarsson, Coady and others had chances in our better spells however there were, equally, large portions of this one where we were on the back foot.

It was an unstoppable classic volleyed goal for Rovers before the majority of their fans, after protesting outside for the first 18 minutes, emerged in the ground. Amusing that we waited for them to leave after 75 minutes before equalising.

A couple of changes by temporary manager Rob Edwards brought despair to some I spoke to, including Jed Wallace ahead of Ivan Cavaleiro for instance. And no Prince Oniangue? On the other hand, good to watch Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and, after Ikeme went off injured, Andy Lonergan getting a chance.

Again Costa and Teixeira looked like the best bet for us moving well up front, but either too many touches or no one immediately available ended possible opportunities.

Bodvarsson again struggled to free himself from his markers and Coady, although very active, was hardly firing on all cylinders. Plus, unfortunately, we saw Saiss's worst game for us and he was unsurprisingly subbed.

Sadly, my overall impression on the way home was that these sort of disjointed performances pre-date Kenny Jackett.

Who played well - and who didn't impress? Edwards may get man of the match for his goal but Kortney Hause stood out for me and he hasn't had many such plaudits, so well done him.

Rob Cartwright

What's your verdict on the match? Well there was no new manager bounce here. A performance which was similar, but probably worse, than what we were seeing under Zenga.

We started well but went behind to a very good strike after 10 minutes. We were then poor until half time, allowing Blackburn to dictate midfield. We did have three good chances to equalise but finishing continues to be poor.

It was a performance perfectly summed up by the guy standing in front of me who continued to play Sudoko throughout!

We were better in the second half. Rob Edwards made his subs early and positively, though I would have liked to have seen Dicko.

Dave Edwards could have scored with a header and five minutes later he did equalise and this was deserved. I thought we would go on to snatch a win and we were pressing for it, but to no avail.

Hats off to the protesting Blackburn fans. They must do something about their situation. Rather ironic that they missed both the goals though.

Who played well - and who didn't impress? Batth had yet another 'mare' of a performance. I expected him to walk in the first half for a second yellow, but the referee must have thought it was more of an advantage to Blackburn to leave him on!

Wallace was mostly anonymous, which was another opportunity wasted.

I felt Borthwick-Jackson had his best game in a Wolves shirt. Teixeira did well when coming on just after half time. Costa continued to impress and Cavaleiro looked good in his half hour from the bench.

Chris Hughes

What's your verdict on the match? Groundhog Day for Wolves. New boss, same performance.

Another early goal conceded as a result of shambolic defending put us on the back foot and, yet again, many will point the finger of blame at our captain for not being close enough to the man he should be marking.

That was the particular low-light of a first half performance from the back four that lacked discipline, cohesion and leadership, with Blackburn having several chances coming from our defenders' lack of willingness to make a challenge.

By half-time we'd had several chances to get an equaliser but none that were clear-cut.

Costa was clearly the danger man but had little support aside from a surprisingly attack-minded Coady, who had three of our half-chances himself when driving forward from midfield.

Those two were the only outfield players who came off the pitch at half-time having made a significant positive contribution, while Batth (booked for one sloppy challenge on Gallagher after turning like a tanker and a little fortunate not to pick up another for bringing down the same man when dallying over making a clearance) Hause and Wallace being three players who particularly underperformed.

In the second half we started a little sluggishly but the introduction of Teixeira and, later, Cavaleiro saw us have much more attacking impetus.

It was Teixeira's positivity in striding forward and taking a shot on that lead to our equaliser, with Doherty - who had a much improved second-half - latching on to the rebound to cross for the enigma that is Dave Edwards to equalise.

While it's common for strikers, has there ever been a midfield player who contributes so little in his general performance during a game be so consistent at popping up with important goals? Many will say that this is cause for his inclusion in the starting XI but, apart from the last 20 minutes, Edwards was largely anonymous.

The fact that he is so fantastically fit and has such great stamina is likely why he becomes so effective in the final stages of games, but such is his tendency to disappear for large chunks of games it feels he would be better used as an impact sub brought on to do exactly what he did here.

The other big worry at the moment is the regression of Bodvarsson. Gone is the player who was relentlessly battering defenders, winning aerial battles and holding the ball up well. Having become so integral to our game plan under Zenga he was subjected to repeated batterings from opposition centre halves game after game and it seems that he may be carrying a knock that's affecting his game and costing him that half-step that he needs to affect the game in the same way as he was only a few weeks ago.

Who played well - and who didn't impress? It seems amazing that Teixeira, Cavaleiro and Costa are not being given starting roles as a trio behind the striker. They're undoubtedly the 'talent' players in our squad and the ability of all three to interchange between the two wing positions and into the '10' role makes it difficult for opponents to defend against them.

Russ Evers (Hatherton Wolves)

What's your verdict on the match? Here we go again, Saturday at stupid o'clock for the watching dozens whilst title chasing Liverpool are on another TV channel.

No ticket price reduction and unfortunately no increase in application or ability from Rob Edwards' new charges.

One word would describe most of it - insipid. To cap it all the good name of Hatherton Wolves was put at jeopardy by one of our most loyal patrons - my brother Nick of AA golden balls fame - who started drinking Bovril whilst the bar was open. It was that sort of game! Insipid all round.

Who played well - and who didn't impress? The latest owner of the coveted "empty crisp packet" award for blowing around the pitch in a largely aimless fashion, Dangerous Dave, popped up to earn a point in a sea of bland monotony disrupted at times by a half-hearted protest by the home fans at their equally insipid owners.
