Thanks for the hard work Future. I agree that Munetsi did ok and got in some important blocks as well as his well taken goal. Championship is seemingly his level. Not sure how you can give 7's to James and Andre. The former wasn't really on long enough, and it was definitely an own goal to my eyes, whilst Andre was reckless in giving away the penalty. He's generally neat and tidy, but needs to become more expansive.
Hopefully, Raul is just getting over the World Cup blues. Mane had Walker Peters on toast for much of the game before fading, and although his decision making is questionable at times, it was great to see him beating men through trickery, as he's not blessed with lots of pace. Defence is definitely the main issue currently, and we're in for a rocky ride without those issues being resolved.

I agree with your ratings, Future. I remember thinking Andre was a class above everyone else and unfortunate to give the pen away. His break up play was excellent for most of the game. I also think James did well and looks like he can be a real asset. Doyle ran his socks off, but that was about it. Can't fault his effort.

Goatmark: I agree Andre was a bit unfortunate with the penalty on two counts. For one thing, it looked to me as if the actual contact was made just outside the box, and the WH attacker fell just inside as a bit of an afterthought. For another, there were two other Wolves defenders on hand who bought the dummy and ran past the scorer, each presumably leaving the tackle to the other.
Having said that, it wasn't a great challenge by Andre who, for all his work rate, is prone to giving away pointless free kicks and losing possession in dangerous areas by dwelling too long on the ball. Still a definite starter for me but at some point I'd like to see James drafted in somehow as a starting midfield player. He always looks as if he has a goal in him.
