FOREST 0-0 WOLVES
It's another point for Wolves, and when you only have nine overall, that's not to be sniffed at. But it's been a grim performance within a grim game. Forest have been dominant for most of it and will wonder how they've failed to win. #WWFC

In terms of quality, this has been a dreadful game of football. Wolves terrible in the first half and slightly better in this one but still not very good. Forest average in the first half and worse in the second. #WWFC

Gibbs-White powers through the heart of the Wolves defence and slides a pass to Hudson-Odoi, who shoots straight at Sa. Frustration threatening to boil over among home fans, whose side are failing to make the most of their dominance. #WWFC

Change of shape in the 2nd half for Wolves. Mane and Armstrong now out wide either side of Arokodare, so it's more of a 3-4-3/5-4-1. #WWFC

HALF TIME
FOREST 0-0 WOLVES
The only positive for Wolves is that they haven't conceded. That's their worst 45 minutes for quite a while. Not matching Forest's intensity and unable to keep the ball in the final third. But they're still very much in the game. #WWFC

Forest have the ball in the net but there is a clear offside in the build-up and it's ruled out. Still 0-0 but Wolves not at the races. #WWFC

Huge let-off for Wolves as they lose out on halfway and find themselves outnumbered 5 to 1. Hudson-Odoi crosses for Lucca who somehow sends it over the bar. #WWFC

In the 26th minute, Wolves have their first shot. It's a wayward one from Angel Gomes after a decent break involving Joao Gomes and Hugo Bueno. All Forest so far but 0-0. #WWFC

Joao Gomes having a nightmare start to the game. Has already given away possession twice in very dangerous areas. Forest on top early on. #WWFC

Back to 3-5-2 by the looks of the Wolves team. Pleased by that. With Andre unavailable, this feels like the strongest available team.
Sa; Mosquera, S Bueno, Krejci; R Gomes, J Gomes, A Gomes, Mane, H Bueno; Arokodare, Armstrong. #WWFC

WOLVES 1-3 CHELSEA
Wolves started both halves well. But they imploded in the first half with some horrible errors and then just faded away in the second, albeit against a good side. Not all about formation, clearly, but there was no need to change, and changing backfired. #WWFC
