I agree that performance In isolation isn’t, but what we don’t know, but if I surmised, I do feel Diblings output this season, or even by this point could & really should of been better than what it has been.

And for me, that’s partly down to how he’s been mismanaged by Moyes.

Dibling also has to shoulder some responsibility but for me Moyes really hasn’t managed the situation well at all.

….unless you’re close to the club, I totally disagree.

Well yeah, if a midfielder goes down in the first minute he’s supposed to be coming on. In general I’m not a fan of having players who aren’t fit enough for 90 mins in a PL squad. They should build their fitness up in practice games or reserve games and then rejoin the squad. They either don’t get used because they’re not fit or they end up getting another injury.

Even if a player went down in the first five minutes Moyes would still wait to minute 63 to bring the sub on

Armstrong is far superior to Rohl.

Might be the case. Not seen enough of either yet. If he is then why did we send Armstrong on loan? If he starts lighting this game up then we could really have used him in earlier games.

Happy he's gave Harrison a start. We need more composure and ideas in midfield.

I'm unhappy he's persisted with that backline. If Wolves are smart they'll try and sucker Tarkowski and Keane up the pitch and get their forwards in behind.

 

[BigBeto1]

there was absolutely nothing to lose from Moyes by playing either Patterson or Dibling today. Absolutely overly conservative to play 3 centre backs against these. If we don’t start hot the atmosphere will be like a league cup game. Grim stuff

 

[Ufotone]

Nervous about this one.....

Good luck lads

The stadium will be empty come kick off time, never mind after 55 mins.

I imagine the thought was with Gueye and Dewsbury-Hall as midfield options, Armstrong was too far at the back of the queue and would be better off getting minutes in the championship.

But due to a combo of injuries, AFCON and Armstrong playing well, they thought there was a place for him in the team from Jan onwards.

Keane is useless and makes all around him nervous because of his rubbishness.

….and here’s me thinking you liked his performances this season;

I'll be heart in mouth against Sunderland because they can give us a game on Saturday, but Wolves? Come on FFS.

This is one we can almost relax with.

Keane is useless and makes all around him nervous because of his rubbishness.

I’m pretty certain we’ve had 8 clean sheets in 20 games. He may of missed one or two of them, but you can’t be a part of a defence that nearly keeps a clean sheet every other game and be “rubbish” not at this level. I’d much prefer JOB at CB but I don’t think it’s between JOB and MK I think it’s how bad Patterson is.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Booo

 

[nsno_traditionally]

A back four that conceded four on Sunday with the full backs creating nothing going forwards or supporting the wide men is being played again three days later. Madness. Play a right back at right back so that's Patterson. Play O'Brien centre back, Keane doesn't look fit and it showed again on Sunday. Play an actual right sided player on the right so that's Dibling, yes he was poor Sunday but so was Mcneill. Crackers team selection that seems to be trying to prove to Kinnear that he'll only play who he wants. Wolves arriving with confidence, no pressure and sorting regularly from corners. What can go wrong. Three nil Everton, up the toffees
