Afternoon all. Today's line-up:
Lonergan, Coady, Batth, Hause, Doherty, Edwards, Evans, Weimann, Gibbs-White, Marshall, Dicko
Subs: Saville, Price, Bodvarsson, Saiss, Burgoyne, Cavaleiro, Williamson
So Cavaleiro makes way for Morgan Gibbs-White. Seems PL is keen to load the midfield today.

Gibbs-White plays a superb ball through to Dicko who brings out a fine save from Fielding. Marshall unable to complete the follow-up

17 year old Gibbs-White certainly not overawed by his starting place in the game, playing just behind Dicko

Aiden Flint hits bar for City. He's scored against us in each of last two league matches!

Wolves have been pretty sloppy in defence and Jamie Paterson curls ball into the corner to give City the lead.

Former player Mark Little breaks into penalty area, and earns a penalty after collision with Doherty. Abrahams puts it away. City 2 Wolves 0

I hope Wolves are not going to get complacent as we appear to be safe from relegation. Some players are going to have to play for their club positions or they will be on their way in the summer.

Well Billericay if you see or hear City's 3rd goal it is a list of stupid errors which led to Abrahams passing the ball into the net. Evans tried a backheel instead of clearing the ball.
City 3 Wolves 0

Wolves mount an attack but still can't get a shot on target

Gibbs-White replaced by Cav. Bodvarsson on now for Dicko

No improvement in second half to report. Doherty having one of his unusually poor matches, and generally lots of silly lazy mistakes being made.

Bodvarsson gets one back for Wolves, breaking his long duck since scoring away at Blues

At least all the sides that matter below us haven't won.

Poor overall today.
Lovely day, went up with 2 Wolves pals who I often watch Wolves with in the pub, really enjoyed their company, fantastic vocal 2,500 old gold voices. All set up for the team.
They did not perform. Shaded the first 15-20 minutes but too sloppy in passing and no real concerted creative effort. Interesting, I didn't realise Gibbs-White put that ball through to Dicko - however I'm sure he will have better days in a gold shirt, as will the whole team. I am still not sure how Dicko fluffed his lines for that chance which would have changed the match completely.
I'd like to see the penalty on telly too - looked very six of one to me.
Special mention for the ref. What a tool!!
At least I saw a Wolves player score - my first time in 7 matches and a rare one too with Bod sticking it in front of us.
Hey ho, disappointing but there you go. I'm up on Friday v Brighton. My attendance is sure to tempt anybody wanting to back against Wolves. I'm a bloody Jonah.

Radio said the ref was rubbish for both sides and that he was going over the top in his actions.

Terrible result and by all accounts a poor performance
