Ashton has always denied that he’s only in it for the cash. Next to the ‘run towards adversity’ placard, he has the classic philosopher’s quote:

“Money don’t make my world go round. I’m reaching out to a higher ground”

We’ve been the worst attacking side in Championship history this season. By some margin. Assessing Semenyo’s ability to score goals and assist them in a team that creates absolutely nothing is not a fair or worthwhile way to judge his abilities. 

Give him a season of decent coaching amongst a team that could actually create a chance, and I think he could flourish.

Take a point from that all day long. Clearly a foul but if you go down like Tom Daley you only have yourself to blame.

Not an analogy I want to spend too long thinking about 

Bobby has had zero service whatsoever. He's not going to get anything from 60 yard hoofs. We're even sniffing for knock-downs when we do punt long. 

Just a bit disjointed. Need Brownhill to link MF to Bobby and Pato. 

Ridden our luck at times (crossbar), but also really could have scored. 

Id take a point

I get a similar feeling whenever I see a short post in capital letters. Before I've really read it my heart rate goes up.

So glad it's not just me who gets anxious using OTIB

Always clench me arsecheeks whenever there's "16 new replies" on OTIB. Terrifying experience.

Oh but to be greeted with...

"YEAAHHHHHH"

"Get the **** in"

"BOBBYYYYYYYYY!!!!"

"yesssssssssssss"

...is one of the greatest feelings on earth. It's the gamble we take hitting refresh!

Nervous about this one. 

Just refreshed, not really looking at the time and saw "9 new replies".

Didn't want to click incase we'd gone 1-0 down. 

What a loser

That, in nutshell, illustrates why Wolves are walking this league.

They can bring a player like  Cavalier on as a sub  when pretty well every team could not afford him as a starter.

 

True story DC. Was he as good as he looked or did we just not know how to deal with him which contributed?

Cant  recall a sub making as big an impact in ages. Changed the game. 

Agh, So that's the feeling of losing 2-1 in the 93rd minute.

Gutted. 

Huge error from Pack. Multiple opportunities to clear it. 

That Cavaleiro changed it all. We had nothing to counter him. Can't work out whether he was absolutely class for half an hour or if we just didn't do enough to stop him. 

It was a stonewall pen for me early in the second half. If that's not handball with his arm in the air I don't know what is. 

One loss to the runaway leaders shouldn't really change our season other than to help us identify the fine margins that it takes to win matches like that. Namely having some Portuguese wizards. 

We've been brutally punished for the 2 errors we made, which is the sign of a good side in Wolves. LJ called it well before the game. Clinical. 

Unlucky City. Still plenty to be positive about. We go again.

Gotta love jamie mac!

Absolute terrier on the touch line. Firing it right back at nuno before he was sent to the stands. Love it 

Not strictly football related, but my mates band 'for the record', are playing @4pm in the fanzone.

Mainly covers, but they're pretty good. My mate is the bassist. He hides behind the speakers where he can. Face for radio. Cheers

Awful from Pack after being free in the penalty box, ducks responsibility and plays attempted pass straight out.

I see the boards are advertising replica shirts but failing to mention they’ve only got size XXXXXXL left.

With the amount of cheese I'm planning to eat over Christmas, could be just the ticket.

Bit surprised we've not gone 352 with round pegs in round holes and instead going with a cm at rb. 

Nervous of Hoilett up against mags as he didn't look great against palace as a lb and Hoiletts a v dangerous player at this level. 

Lets see what this squads made of! 

Hoillet always does well against us. Tomlin bound to have an impact of some kind. Seems we're changing a lot to accommodate a few. Not as confident as I'd like to be

Another nail in the coffin for the "last year repeating itself" theory.

Settle down. It's half time. Plenty of time for an OTIB meltdown yet

Make a point of patronising it if you're in the area.

Now aren't you just a lovely little pub then. 

BBC reporter on Final Score said the match is full of chances and "Bristol" really could be ahead apart from two worldies from Scot Carson. 

Come on City!

No changes. Content with what he sees?!

Lose & I'm not so sure. SL likes him, but he's no mug*

*ironically except for when he backed him a couple of weeks ago. 

SL has history of saying one thing and doing another. 

Surely if we don't win this, then what more evidence does he need?
