Play well and lose, play badly and lose. A sure sign of a team in deep trouble.

Exactly, time to make a positive change was 70 mins not straight after conceeding

I don’t expect to see Vydra as it stands after Arsenal’s late goal I think SD will be willing to take the point.

True. Results against the top 6 don’t define our season. It’s the results against the bottom half where we need to pick our points up.

Are you listening to radio Lancashire and not watching the game? We’ve been good beaten by a deflection and a side a 2nd in the league.

Typical Utd. How often do they win with deflected goals.

That really is bad luck, especially for Cork, who's been very good today.

I’m sure we should’ve had a free kick on the edge of the box there before they broke away.

What a run from Vyds, just before the goal. It makes you wonder how he would have scared Utd had he been on a lot earlier.

Deserved a point.

A good performance in our final ever league game against this awful club. I hope Van Der Beek and Pogba recover from the horrific injuries that they suffered.

With Arsenal scoring, this was a bit of a free hit for me. Man U are in great form, second in the table and we were very unfortunate not to get a point.

We're playing well enough to pick up points, so they'll come.

It's frustrating how we can hold up against the best pretty well but throw away games, or don't turn up when it matters.

How people can moan after that performance is beyond me, we pushed Utd all the way, and but for some bad fortune could have easily come away with a point, play like that at Wolves and we'll win.

No coincidence Cork was back in the fold today, Wood was immense, and BPF did everything asked of him.

I'm just gutted we couldn't see the last few minutes out, but that's the quality Utd possess, and they often score late.

Plenty of positives to take from that display and we didn't look like a team battling the drop far from it.

Great effort by the lads. Still think woods goal should have stood. Maybe I’d have given vydra a few minutes more.
The super power super league W..,,,s knew they had been in a game. Lady Luck seems to have deserted us at the moment.

Damn, bit of a harsh scoreline that and not really reflective of how well we played against an in-form side.

Table looking only slightly worse than it did this morning but still better than it did at about 3pm.

Agreed that is definitely a game we should be looking at getting 3 points from, Wolves are not the force they were last season, and we've already beaten them this term, so it certainly isn't a fixture we should fear.

Should’ve been a free hit but all I can think of is last week. Truth is a 5-0 loss but a result against Newcastle would have us in a better position than now. Ah well.
