Poor - back 4 were very poor Sully to partly to blame for Doyles goal but again not helped by poor defending for the other 4 goals. Chambers has had a shocker as well. Killa and Sousa in the middle on Sat with JOC on the right and Friend on the left (he is the only left back we have got at the moment!) Keegan in for Wilson, Shiels, Copps and Oster, Billy and Brooker up front. Sully in goal.
It was either drop Hayter or Sharp - went for Hayter as Sharp is the leading scorer.
Crikey fellas, we're playing away to a premier league team, hardly end of the world despite the scoreline!

Hayter has only scored 9 (NINE) this season, which is a massive 2 (TWO) less than Billy Sharp.Hayter needs to be ashamed of himself, in all honesty. He calls himself a striker? What right has he got to be selected over a man who hasn't even got through a full 90 minutes of football since Rovers got promoted to the Championship?Ring the changes!!

Makes me smile Suggesting a change to the line up that is all - Hayter has been crap for the last 2 games (anyone disagree?) - give Brooker a chance to see what he can do - if we don't give him a chance from the start of a game he is never going to get the chance to play a full 90 minutes - the one 10 minutes or so here and there are going to prove nothing. Failing that we could drop Sharp as well he has not been much better and play Fairhurst in his place and have him partner Brooker. Why not? And if people say he is not experienced enough for the level neither is Woods in goal!
Well last night wasn’t the best of games to watch….i was surprised how little donny actually tried to take the game to wolves, if you’d scored early whole different game imo, but at 1-0 we looked surprisingly comfortable and you rarely troubled us. If you got back 1-1 at this stage we may found it hard stepping up a gear to get any more goals. But then the 2nd goal killed the tie and when we relaxed further the goals came at the end. Wasn’t your best display last night, but you did superbly in first leg imo and played some lovely football that day so do take positives out of the tie. Wish you all well for the rest of the season, lets hope we’re not playing you next season just yet please.

Not had chance to be on the forum much this week, so here's my belated thoughts.Sulli couldnt really be \"blamed\" for any of the goals.1) free header despite Locky and JOC in close attendance, and it crept in at the far post, just outside his reach.2) Sam should have stopped the ball coming in, but it took a deflection off Locky (I think) to take it past Sulli. Very lucky goal.3) Sully was exposed by the defence and more or less had it covered, but it hit the post and went in. An inch further to the left and it stays out. Very lucky goal.4) More defensive woes means Sully has a 1 on 1 to deal with and gets a finger to it, but not enough to stop it going in.5) The shot comes through a crowded box and nestles in the far corner. Again Sully is so very close to getting something on it. It seemed to go through about 3 pairs of legs from where I was sat (low down in row 3)That was a very strange game. Even the Wolves fan I work with who went with us said 5-0 was flattering, and both sides played badly. The first half, I lost count of the number of times we played a ball into the box and had Oster or someone running in to smash it in, only for a wolves defender to get a toe to it and divert the path of the ball just enough to take the scoring opportunity away. It was just one of those nights

...and the \"assistant\" on our side was there for purely ornamental reasons, I think.
