Good to see Luke Cundle getting another run-out. Really hope Fabio shines.

I'm not sorry the Joe Willock is not in the Newcastle line-up

My school is on spring break, currently on my way back home from Iowa, visiting my partner’s family. Just checked in and seen that Newcastle had taken the lead but VAR rules it offsides.

0-0 25 minutes gone by

He has to change something at half time because we won't win in a month of Sunday's playing this way! It looks like we're trying not to lose, let alone win!

[sausagenegg]

It's almost as if there is a mental hurdle every time we have a chance of getting in the top six.

It's not the first time and we are shocking tonight.

Cannot see us getting a point tonight against a poor side.

H.T....0-0 and Wolves are very lucky to still be in this game after a first half performance that defies logic. Heaven knows what our game plan is/was because we looked terrible. Passes were going astray all over the place and we showed very little purpose. If we are going to get anything at all from this match there needs to be vast improvement. Fingers out, you Wolves !!!

[MichiganWolf]

Lage said Neves is worth 100m….might be double that for Wolves since it seems we don’t have anybody else that can make an incisive pass forward

[MichiganWolf]

Know he’s left footed, but Neto has to hit that ball with his right. Almost impossible to score with your left in that position. That was our chance to tie it up unfortunately

[sausagenegg]

Absolute rubbish. Embarrassing.

[GrizzledWolf]

FT 1-0 which was nothing more than Newcastle deserved. There was greater effort from Wolves after the break, but somehow you could feel that it was going to be one of those days. Moutinho played his heart out, pulling the strings in the middle of the park, but it was all to no avail. In truth, Newcastle should have buried us before the break and we should feel flattered by the end result. Bruno still puzzles me sometimes with his choice and timing of subs. Surely, Marcal should have got the 'hook' much earlier than he did and IMHO the introduction of Neto and Ait-Nouri came far too late.

[sausagenegg]

I think tonight is a great example as to why we cannot get over that barrier that separates us from the top six.

No real hunger or ability to kill off lesser sides.
