The pitch looked like shit. It was prolly rock hard in some areas. I'd rather see us lose on that pitch than win and get some of our players injured and screw the rest of the season entirely.

Also Harry had to let some of the players get some play time, especially Kaboul and EG. With 2 new players in the team it was not going to be a smooth run.

We still have a chance for top 4 and we deserve to be there at least when it comes to the quality of football we play, better than Villa and Loserpool for sure.

The season is not over, lads, all we have to do is finish strong. Our players and managers need our support.

Personally I blame it on the recession, where when the service industry overtook the manfucturing in terms of reducing unemployment, it could not be sustained it, because of the weakened pound's effect on the same industry causing negative growth.........................................!

Strangely enough I do blame Harry and the players, but I take your point - we need to move on and stay positive.

there comes a time when the blame has to stop. and the players and the staff have to take a long look at themselves. This is that time. Its funny that the arse can come back from a few bad results but we seem incapable at the moment

Have been talking to a few non Spurs football fans in the past few days.
Still very sour about how the mighty Mick McCarthy's team out thought and out fought our so called superstars.
All i got from my mates is ye are 6th, should be happy with that, would ye have taken that at start of the season.
Yes to all of the above, but seeing how the season has panned out, this is some missed opportunity. This was/is a golden opportunity to take us on to the next level, albeit with players not capable for that level.
I feel Harry has to blamed for some of our shortcomings and also the players for the majority.
I'm not for a new manager again, it will simply set us back to the beginning of a new false dawn again, so as some posters said above, let's get behind Harry and the team for the rest of the season and lets have our post mortems then.

The pitch was the same for both teams.
I went to the game and it seemed to me that Wolves wanted out of the bottom 3 much more than we wanted in the top 4

I blame the EPL for putting us in this vulnerable position of playing football anywhere past Watford north when it's cold.

But at the same time they should get some credit for getting us into such a position in the first place. At the end of the season we will end up in the position we deserve to be in, as frustrating as they are sometimes, the players don't go out onto the pitch intending to play badly or to lose.

I do agree with the point about th epitch, it looked frozen over, how Wolves have not got undersoil heating I don't know as Molyneux is a relatively modern stadium isn't it? Obviously both sets of players had to play on the same pitch, but it would have affected their style of play less than ours. Is it mere coincidence that Hudd was abysmal for the first time this season on that pitch, I'm not a huge fan of his either but that performance from him really was Dyer.

:rofl: We'll be lucky to make top 6 the way we're playing at the moment, but your right that we need to get behind Harry and the team.

Absolutely agree 100%.

But the least we can expect from the players is to give 100%, misplaced passes/shots we can get over, once a player looks like he is running his nuts off.
Wasn't at the game myself, and haven't seen it but seems like the players thought, oh its only Wolves we'll beat them no bother.
They think they should be left play their fancy passes, and teams should give Hudd time on the ball so he can pick out his passes.
Sometimes it looks as if they don't realise that you have to earn the right to keep possession and pick your passes.

Was the ptich also to blame when they and Stoke beat us at the Lane, or when Hull got a draw against us?

We played like shit, Harry and the players need to accept the just criticism for the performance and put it right from now until the end of the season.

You really do have a very good point. Most of our players have silver football spoons in their mouths. It is part of the reason why players like Palacios are fine on bad pitches. Because when you grow playing in Honduras, pristine pitches and conditions are hardly the norm.

I blame our groundskeeper for winning awards etc. Haha, stop doing such a good job mate!

We need more players at the club were the term "leveler" means nothing to them.

Or maybe our players don't like freezing adverse conditions? Or finishing with 10 men?

Is this more of the usual, putting plasters on gaping wounds?

Wolves played on the same pitch.

No excuses, we were sh*t and Harry made ludicrous decisions. He has done more than once. Kaboul did not need playing time at RB - why let Alan Hutton go if we don’t have FB cover?
EG hasn't played in the Premiership for years; so why would you start him, away, to Wolves, who you'd guess would offer frantic hassle at the very least? Not the ideal situation to find his feet.

The chance of finishing top four has all but totally dissolved since Lennon's injury. The manager hasn't had a clue how to compensate either. Silly and wrong decisions at many decisive points – so many dropped points.
