Another supporter, Nolan, aimed sharp criticism at Wolves’ approach late in the match:
“Pathetic team, pathetic players. You are pathetic in every aspect of your actions. The game is tied, and instead of trying to win, you prefer to make a scene and delay the game. This is the true image of a failed, small, and mediocre club. The second division is where you belong.”
