Watched the game last night.

* Kieren Tripper was superb. He’s captain and that’s it. Wolves don’t need six captains.
* Tom Edozie played well.
* Tawanda Chirewa played well.
* Mateus Mane will be a key player for Wolves in the Championship.
* Hugo Bueno looked good but he didn’t see much of the ball.
* Nasser Djiga and Yerson Mosquera looked decent and Mosquera was comfortable in the LCB position.
* A couple of other young players looked pretty good.

The pitch looked okay but was awful.

* A non-league player sent Jackson Tchatchoua to a different postcode.


* Toti Gomes looked bloody awful. Championship teams will have him for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
* Wolves desperately need a new goalkeeper.
* Marshall Munetsi looked average at best. He’ll offer very little in the Championship.
* Tommy Doyle is a back-up player. Not enough quality to start games if Wolves want promotion.
* Wolves can’t rely on Raul Jimenez to score the goals. Leon Chiwome had chances, which bodes well.

Wolves looked better than they did during last year's pre-season under Vitor Pereira.

Don't disagree with anything, Ms Bucket. Chiiwome should have had a couple. He missed them and he knew it, but it was a friendly.
Just wanted to add Sutherland's left footed balls to the box, a sweet foot, and a good back up for Hugo/Wolfe or whoever.

Yes, Ethan Sutherland looked good. Shifted between raw and very classy.

Possible that if Wolves sell one of Wolfe or Bueno, Sutherland might be back up.

However, I hope Wolves don't become too dependent on kids under the guise of giving youth a chance when the reality is Fosun don't want to invest.

Watching yesterday, Tchatchoua and Toti Gomes have nothing to offer.

Neither looked interested imo Hyacinth, and you're right, we can't rely on youngsters. Ok to fill in now and then, but they'd not be up to a full Championship season yet.
