Looks like Wolves haven't turned up against the cloggers.

Still got another 45 minutes, got a feeling this will end in a draw. Looks like Wolves have saved their worst performance of the season for today...

Wolves have been absolutely woeful and one suspects they will play much better in the second half.Cavaleiro has been abject.Credit to Huddersfield who smothered them in midfield, outworked them and looked far more determined.

Wolves look about as toothless up front as we do.
I think Huddersfield are a nasty over physical team but have to say Mooy impresses me every time I see him and I would like him at Palace.

Woeful Wolves.

Whenever they attack they never have enough players in the box.When Jimenez had that header which was cleared off the line,where were the Wolves players ?

Pushing Traore up front - his best is when he is out wide running at players with his searing pace and getting clear down the flanks.He just doesn't seem to have the instinct of a central striker.

Dreadful day for Wolves - they have made a distinctly average Huddersfield team look good and this says it all.

Great win for Huddersfield, but they still look p*ss poor. If it wasn't for Mooy they wouldn't have got anything as they look even more toothless up top than us. Wolves had plenty of chances to get back into the game in the second half but their finishing was also as bad as ours. I doubt Wolves will be in a relegation fight this season, so it was annoying for them to lose.


Watching games like this does fill me with confidence though as over 38 games I think we are much better than than Thuggersfield and I would say even better than Wolves, who have lost a bit of that swagger that sometimes comes with newly promoted teams (4 defeats in 5 now).


Tomorrow night is going to be very interesting ahead of next weekend's game.

I wasn't impressed with Wolves when they beat us - they were fortunate to get all the points.Since then they have lost 4 and drawn 1.

That's the only game I've missed this season, but I heard they were lucky. I still think they have the quality to stay clear of the drop zone. The only caveat I would put on that is I do question how much spirit they would have for a scrap if they were to get pulled down the table. That is the one thing that saves Huddersfield and could keep Cardiff up - that willingness to just throw bodies on the line and get in people's faces.

Returning to the subject matter, we have actually only attained 2 points from the last 7 games which of course is abject but we have managed to get these 2 points in our last 4 games which of course have been games against Arsenal,Chelsea,Tottenham and Man Utd and I suspect most wouldn't have expected us to get any points from these games.

Would of been interesting to see with VAR how many points we would of got in those 5 games. When it is introduced there will be teams that will be relegated due to it, when in previous seasons they would of not.

Would probably have expected 5 points from these last games so not good at all really - how we let Wolves beat us.
Given everyone says there are worse teams than us but Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle are already above us - Burnley might be tomorrow as well - then I am still worried.
Great point at Old Trafford no doubt and we played well but we just don't score goals and with so many games to play before we have a centre forward there is no doubt in my mind that we will be fighting relegation for a long time to come.
PS - Murray scored again - 7 goals for him and 8 for our whole team so far this season - thanks again Alan!
