Why do you think Wolves were poor ?
It's because the way we set up dragged them into a battle. One which we had the upper hand on until around the 60th minute when they seemed to take a grip.
After that we had to push forward and they picked us off on the break.
Given the players they had we did well today and deserved a point, which is more than I could say about Monday when we didnt
How on earth can a penalty which doesn't end up in the back of the net be a good penalty? It can be a decent penalty and the goalkeeper makes a great save, but good? The stats for penalties scored as opposed to missed tell you that the odds greatly favour the penalty taker and on those relatively rare occasions when one is missed, then the taker cannot be congratulated for taking a good penalty!
You've turned that into me suggesting that it's ok if we lose to Wolves and Villa, which I've never said.
I still disagree with your view that we need to beat Wolves and Villa. It would have been a major advantage to have won both, even 1 win would be great. Even if we lost both we still have our destiny in our own hands, even if losing two is not ideal. Nowhere have I suggested losing both would be fine.
Your suggestion, by saying we need to win both, that only 1 win would not suffice is bollocks.
Really? Hoilett could have taken exactly the same penalty 100 times and it would never be a goal, at least with Madine it would have ended up in the net, say, a third of the time because of the keeper diving the wrong way, but are you really wanting to go down the route of arguing which one out of the two (that's two!) of our players who missed from the spot took the best penalty - they were both hopeless efforts!
