Ok the train back to Brum.

Zero attacking intent throughout. First half we tried to be compact and it worked to an extent but there was no drive or impetus to them hit quickly on the counter attack. Second half we clearly were holding for damage limitation but were not as defensively tight and Wolves could and should have won by mote. Basically it was a 90 minute game of attack v defence and it was an utterly predictable result. Wolves always felt like they were cruising through it and never really had to step it up to beat us. Too often had to resort to going longon the vague vicinity of JDB as the man on the ball had no options to pass to.

Jakkola - 4. A good double save on a one on one, but at least one goal was his fault (the second) having come partway to get the ball then bailing out and getting stuck in no man's land
Gunter - 5. Quiet game as most of the time we tried to go down the left
Blackett - 5. Given very little defensive protection by Aluko and left 2 on 1 quite often
Illori & Moore - 5. No major howlers but never really looked comfortable
Clement - 4. Largely anonymous
Evans - 4. Largely anonymous
Aluko - 3. Ball watching defensively several times as balls in behind left him on the back foot often and Blackett over exposed. Minimal contribution going forward
Edwards - 5. Tried hard.
Barrow - 5. Marked out of the game and given minimal decent quality ball to feet
JDB - 6. Had high balls fired in his general direction all night. Won a few headers. Hard to criticise him for appalling service he received.

Were you able to spare enough time to visit the M&S in Dudley street?

(well worth the time)

Enough is Enough!

Wasn't at the game so I'm not going to go all Ian Royal, but we have three options.

Keep Jaap, close our eyes and hope for the best.

Sack Jaap and put all our hopes in a caretaker type.

Sack Jaap and go for a.long term replacement straight away, giving the new man time to look at the squad before the summer.

Each has its risks, personally I'd go for option three and hope for the best.

didn't go either but result not too unexpected - just disappointed that we didn't have a go or probably incapable of doing so.........i'm with option 3 - can' t get any worse and might make the last few games more interesting and atmospheric! never know we might get the three wins we need if we can attack more often rather than side ways passing

I’d think we’d do very well to nab anyone decent from another club at this stage of the season. Not saying it’s impossible but would be a big risk, and maybe end up in having to offer a longer contract etc than if we got someone in pre season

If anything is going to happen, would surely be after Norwich with the 2 week break. Can’t see it though

If we wait until the summer to sack Stam or he goes himself no time for a new manager to assess the squad, as all backroom staff are poor . Need to make a change now after Norwich

Yeah.. professional managers famously are incapable of judging a squad when they have only been hired that summer...

It would be nice for the new manager to have a look at the squad in a competitive game situation, I agree.

Whilst it's not impossible for them to make an impact of appointed in the summer, it would help if they had time before.

You can't assess thr squad on how they're playing now, it's nothing like what most are capable of.

It also takes five minutes to work out we need a fit striker, right back, left back and right winger/forward. And unless we get rid of literally everyone, Tevreden knows what we need and will already be working on it.

There's little chance in an up turn in form at this stage, so there's no point in asking someone to dirty themselves with this mess now.

Plus who we want may be drastically different whether we're in League Obe or the Championship next season

No he doesn't and no he isn't.

Oh dear
