I'm trying to reflect on tonight's performance against Wolves . All I can say is: thank God we won't be playing them next season. On the whole there were positives to take from the game. I thought we looked attacking, had a decent amount of possession and got the ball into the final third well.
However every time Wolves got the ball they looked dangerous. Catching us on break on numerous occasions, and really looked a force. But it's worth remembering: A. How much this Wolves team cost, and where they came from. B. How far ahead of the rest of the championship they are.
So from today I would suggest we have learnt nothing. Sure it's highlighted how ineffective we are in the final third. But ultimately we were up against a squad on a par with any mid table premier league side. I genuinely think this Wolves team is one of the best to have graced this division.
Wolves will win the league. Personally I think Derby will drop off and will ultimately end up being between Villa and Fulham for second place. But let's not beat ourselves up about today Wolves were too good for us, but they are too good for almost everybody else too. If I'm honest I don't believe we will be good enough to make the play offs, but Wolves aside I do believe we can match any one in this division. All we are lacking is that final ball, that little bit of quality.
I'm taking the positives from the game: the work rate, the midfield, and the ability to control the ball. We can go on to beat Leeds!
