Lavery needs the ball to his feet, not long balls.

Never been a Nuhiu fan but he does usually at least try, but yesterday he just didn't seem bothered.

Thought we could have done with an extra man in midfield in the second half, they cut through us down the middle in the 2nd half yesterday, maybe Semedo could have put a stop to that??

Cant see SG getting the sack unless we lose 6-7 games in a row.

"SG needs to have a re-think. Nuhui isn't good enough but Lavery & May isn't going to work. Can May play as a lone striker? Where can we find a big striker who can work with May & chip in with a few goals?"

Could go 4231, with Drenthe Left, McGuire right and McGugan in the centre, with Semedo & Lee the holding midfielders. McGugan showed he's a good passer in the first half yesterday. Problem is SG will stick with 442

Managers have to stand or fall doing it their way. BL listened to the fans in his final weeks in charge & he failed not doing it his way. SG has said more than once that he is a 442 man so that is the way we will play. DJ tended to play 442 at home and 4231 away which is what SG did at first but this season he has stuck with 442 except for the Brighton match.

The problem after Nuhui went off is that Wolves knew that we couldn't hit it in the air so it made their defending easier so they went from defending like jellies to reasonably competent.

I think 4231 works best when the guy up top can compete well in the air. SG doesn't want Madine so we are kind of stuck with Nuhui. Maybe look for a loan signing in January, Kone from Everton maybe although Martinez might want him for their first team.
