Beaten by a team with more quality across the park and good defensive discipline. We didn’t make it the kind of arm wrestle we needed to, really, and made mistakes at key moments. Suspect we’ll see a few more of these this season.

Very similar to Bournemouth… their quality is obvious, and they’re finding space behind our midfield. But their goal seemed to spark us into life and, for a third game running, we managed to find a quick riposte and start winning the individual duels. But another gear needed.

Too many not quite on it so far… Ampadu, Stach, DCL. Quality gap pretty evident.

In the summer, I vowed to stop buying novels until I re-read the ones that have been on my shelf for 20+ years… I’m five down now and I may as well have been reading them for the first time. I’d barely retained a single detail from any of them.

Desperate for the West Indies to be competitive at Test level again but this is just pitiful. They’ll barely make it to 2.5-days…

Woken up more annoyed about yesterday than I was about Fulham… three points were in the bag and we switch off at a set piece. 10 points from 6 would have matched Bielsa’s Prem start. There’s plenty to be encouraged about, of course, but can’t afford too many more injury-time concessions.

Gutting… and, like Fulham, really undeserved. That second half was far more comfortable than Wolves… unfortunately, Tanaka isn’t strong enough, coughs up a needless free kick and we switch off at the far post. We more than enough opportunities to put that bed.

Much more end-to-end than I was expecting. But we’re competing, getting tackles in and attacking in decent numbers. Unlucky not to be 1-2 up when they scored but, like Wolves, we didn’t panic and managed to force the equaliser. Bournemouth best we’ve seen at ER, though. Work to do.

I need to stop watching Netflix crime dramas... just finished Dept Q and while Matthew Goode was, well, good, I couldn't get over the plot holes and the convenient contrivances and the clunky "so here's what happened" dialogue. And aren't we beyond in-car scenes using green-screened scenery...?

Molineux is one of those grounds, like Hillsborough, where the pitch looks 20% bigger than most others. Sure it’s a standard size but it always feels like there’s acres of space out there.

Not going to lie, I *hated* that second half… was convinced the roof was going to fall in, especially as we struggled to keep the ball late on. But that is a brilliant 3 points, especially after conceding first – and a proper shift from all involved. MotM between Darlow and Gudmundsson for me.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause

We definitely deserved a point. We created the better chances in the first hour or so while keeping them largely at bay. The difference, ultimately, is that they can bring on £100m+-worth of subs to shift the momentum… although it still took a freak goal to seal it. Infuriating.

Decent, that. Looking a little more cohesive, a little more connected… and offering much more threat, even if clear chances are still at a premium. Okafor has been bright, the midfield combative… and Aaronson everything you’d expect.

Probably our best XI bar Gnonto and Perri… but Aaronson at RW is a *huge* call, especially against Iwobi. One of those that managers might struggle to live down if it doesn’t go well.

Untamed on Netflix = a string of TV detective cliches separated by wooden acting, unnecessary side plots and unconvincing twists. Should have bailed 4 episodes ago.

This is great... although I was disappointed when, just after Farage had appeared, the teacher said "our solar panels" and not "arsehole".

There's no doubt we haven't given Farke enough this summer, but if there's one slight defence of our recruitment is just how insane the market got. Feels like prices were inflated 40-50%, certainly for forwards. In May, Muniz was probably 25m, Okafor nearer 10m. Should we have sold Joseph?

Not sure what's worse... us not getting the attacking options we need, or social media whenever Ramazani, Bakwa, Diarra, Uche, Wilson or Hamer does anything between now and Christmas*.

Let’s be honest, it would have been a 6/10 window – at best – with Wilson. Now it’s looking like a long, grim grind through autumn as we try to George Graham our way to January. Feels like an entirely avoidable act of self-sabotage...
