Good to see some level headed posts this morning.

I completely agree that whilst the changes leave Roy open to scrutiny you naturally, and I would suggest logically, assume that there were reasons behind them.

The first goal is just sloppy defending from a set piece where we hadn't woken up properly however beyond a good delivery, which is the least you expect at this level, was just sheer bad luck and not something Wolves can claim any real credit for.

Equally, the penalty right at the end was circumstantially forced, off the back of our own error, and lightning happened to strike twice for them where beyond that they looked even less likely than us to score.

Even with the changes including an entire midfield we would not expect to and haven't seen elsewhere, we had the better play. We were in and around their goal more however to again echo another poster the early goal allowed them to set up camp and severely reduce the opportunity to create chances.

It's a game that has left me furious but that anger is not directed at the manager or players and more just the luck which completely sided with Wolves on the night. On most other days the first corner is cleared, Olise penalty given, we probably nick another and the situation for conceding a penalty at the end does not come about. I try not to negate or berate others for complaining but I am inclined to just chalk it off as a bad night at the office and don't think there was enough there to really constitute criticism for the manager there.

If we look similarly unable to score vs WHU I will then ask as to why we shot and scored so freely for three games and then just reverted back to where we were so quickly however until then... COYP.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Agree with all the level headedness. Geez, what's going on!

Silly goal put us on the back foot. Never really felt like they were going to score another.

We played some nice, confident football at times. And look a player or 2 away from being a serious outfit.

I think we all know this, but Luka (whilst didnt play badly) isn't good enough to impact the game at this level. Eze needs to play more centrally and be unshackled of so many defensive duties.

Whilst not spectacular, I thought Hughes was especially good tonight. He's got tight enough control to get involved in the 1 touch stuff with Eze and Olise.

Judging from these comments it seems to me that if Hodgson would have put out the team that had been doing well since his return then we may well have fared better. Of course it is difficult to say for certain because the early goal set out Wolves' strategy from then on in.
I think Roy put out the wrong side for a game that was winnable. 3 points in the here and now is better than resting a couple of players or assessing others.

Eze has always been terrible out wide, ayew has done a good enough job, so he decides to put eze our wide and ayew through the middle, just makes no sense.

I could only follow the sky text commentary last night, but also just watched the extended highlights on Palace TV. Must say I'm
surprised at all the negative comments - hopefully it's reactionary coz we lost - as both commentary and Highlights suggested we incredibly unlucky to come away 2-0 losers.

Plenty of good saves by Sa - including 1 of the best reactionary Save from lakonga, and a few from Eze long distance. We appeared to have created the best chances, but gifted them 2.

If we had a striker in form then we'd be laughing. I still think that of the current bunch, Mateta's the one who deserves a run in the team - just think with a run of games he'll actually score occasionally.

As for SJs error - think that's the first one I've seen him do in 4 games. Apart from that, looked solid throughout, again.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Totaly agree, with Mateta starting, infact, every game until the end of the season, i think most fans have decided that Edouard is not good enough, these games should tell us if Mateta is worth keeping.
