MATCH ANALYSIS: Flip-Flop Wolves bring supporters back down to earth with a bump.

Wolves flipped from the highs of a Black Country derby to the flops of a miserable display up on Teesside with a goal shy performance that left more questions than answers. But, for all that it was a tough watch for the loyal supporters who made the long trip, Middlesbrough were hardly much better.
The absence of Fer Lopez concerned fans beforehand and the fears came to pass. Wolves, as an attacking force were disjointed, poor in possession and easy to predict. Cesar Peixoto, at least, identified this.
“I think our biggest problem in the first half was what we did when we won the ball,” he said in the aftermath of the game. “We didn’t take enough time to play with it or manage the game. We always tried to speed things up immediately, lost possession and then Middlesbrough had the ball again.”
