It's all looking very bleak for Wolves and their once-of-this-parish manager Gary O'Neil. Relegation beckons, VAR and referees are working against them and they apparently boast the worst-coaches team in the division. Tonight thank God it's them, instead of you.

"Let’s say GON and his bunch of League 2 staff are dispensed with today . We still have 23 games to go and are four points behind Palace & five adrift of Leicester and Everton. We can with the right staff turn this around. The next two games are huge and with a bit of luck and no corrupt officials and VAR we could be in a much better position. The club need to sort it out this week to give us a fighting chance. See you all at the Golden Palace."

"I’ve been a Wolves fan for a very long time so I made sure to enjoy every minute of the Nuno years because I knew it was temporary. How GON was allowed to stay in post so long should be the subject of a Netflix true crime series."

"Gary O'Neil spouted the same old pathetic ****e after the game.. can’t wait until he’s finally gone."
- Wolf 82

"I'd really like to know, to what level of detail a manager and coaching staff go into when speaking to EVERY single player before a game, when identifying the biggest threats from the opposition, because the way Guedes shaped up and defended against Bowen was nothing short of a ****ing disgrace. Is it because he's thick as pig ****? Or do these footballers seriously need to have their eyes held open Clockwork Orange style when watching analysis in the build up to games? If a Sunday league player did that he would look ****."

"Goal from a free header at the back post from a set piece, again. Goal immediately after we have scored, again. The captain losing his head. A head coach well out of his depth. An owner who has lost interest. We’re done."
- Matt

"Brain dead manager. Brain dead collection of players. Brain dead DoF. Brain dead owners. We’re gone. What a ****ing waste of the platform we made for ourselves."

"Sa fighting with fans. Lemina fighting with staff. The toxic culture at Molineux is resembling that of its leader. I'm absolutely disgusted, embarrassed, and appalled to call myself a Wolves fan at the moment. An utterly hapless chairman has eroded this club's very fabric and spirit. Gary should have been sacked weeks ago. This club stinks."

"I thought we would lose by five or six tonight, so 2-1 and a close game was better than I expected. I will not enjoy the Championship but it's fully deserved with these fools in charge."

"We were ****, sack him now pls. But, what the ****, var. As bad a performance from the fixers as I've ever seen. Ref was a coward."
- WISAW

"So disappointing, again. Appalling referee/VAR decisions. Having said that it we deserved at best a point. You know things are bad when Doc is easily our best player. End of Gazball."

"Atrocious. On so many levels. Absolutely atrocious that the manager was left in charge for this game. Atrocious that this was one of our best defensive performances of the season. We conceded two and had two ruled out. Atrocious VAR use. Forgotten what that was like. Atrocious GON-biased commentary throughout. Atrocious management of the team. Atrocious management of the club. We deserve to go down. I've lost so much love for football. It's just a constant nightmare. Atrocious."
- Hoganstolemywife

"Some poor VAR calls tonight but in all honesty, West Ham just needed to make minor steps forward and we parted like the Red Sea, so even had we led they would've overwhelmed us in the end. We're going down and we deserve to go down."

"I still haven't quite recovered from RAN's overhit pass for a Doherty tap in. And it was nice of Tommy Doyle to produce an exact replica of his miss at Brighton."
- rubyloo

"Weird game. Several instances of VAR injustice. We didn't look totally impotent up front and we competed strongly in the first half, but still couldn't get anything out of the game. If this had been a 'normal' season we'd move on to the next match thinking that we might have nicked something on another night against a, let's face it, pretty mundane WHU side. But it's not a normal season, is it? This result can't be shrugged off in isolation, it has to be taken in context of the most extraordinary run of poor form. We are most probably getting relegated this season and the reason for us getting relegated is not because of VAR, it's not because of bad luck or poor officiating; we're almost nailed on for the drop because we're not very good. In fact we're record-breakingly poor and coached as badly as I can remember."

"All you have to do is take a couple of corners under the bar and then on the third one just loop it to the back post for someone to have a free header and you're guaranteed a goal against Wolves. A pub team would be harder to score against off corners. It's coaching of the lowest quality ever seen in the Prem."
- Chisels_n_ommers

"A **** day out. Five hours on the coach to get to the ground, another defeat, then coach broke down a few miles from the ground on the way back. Replacement coach from Wolverhampton has just turned up so we should be back home at about 6am..."
- JR WAS KING

"I have always opposed VAR for anything other than goal-line technology - the ONLY 'absolute'; everything else is subjective and subject to interpretation. And 'corrupt' as the system is, it is unlikely in the extreme that the person sat in the VAT studio had any thought that 'it was Wolves wot tried to scrap us' and hence penalised us. The problem is that with VAR, referees have been devalued. The ref last night - without VAR - might have ruled differently for ALL the in-field decisions - the foul in the build-up, the two penalties - but in each case thought 'well, I'll err on the side of caution and if I'm wrong, VAR will rescue me' so didn't award penalties. Mike Dean and Anthony Taylor - who are 'trigger happy' might well have given both penalties in the field. Who knows?"
- SilverstoneWolf

"Last night was a clear foul on Santi Beuno which wasn't given. That is down to incompetence by the referee. The push on Guedes was deemed to be outside the area yet I don't recall a free kick being given. The foot on Bellegard wasn't given because he didn't fall over soon enough. Where is falling over a prerequisite to award a penalty? The referee was diabolical in those instances."
- old wittonian

"On my way back, what more to say? I think we’re down. The scenes at the end show something has to give. Looked like GON was half way down the tunnel before it kicked off and he came back on."
- Brixton Wanderer

"Some might call supporting Wolves character building. I don't need any more character, thanks. But I do need a new manager. And blaming VAR is clutching at straws."

"We created literally two chances: the goal, and the Gomes miss at the back post. They scored twice, Mavrapanos put one over centrally from seven yards, Johnstone saved from Bowen's low shot and nearly shovelled one to their man at the back post, Ait-Nouri blocked a certain goal etc. They carved out far more opportunities. It wasn't a corner, but you cannot blame the lino for giving it in real time without a replay. Foul on Bueno? Not enough for VAR to overrule. It was a penalty on Guedes I agree, but it's a moot point as we scored moments later. The one on Bellegarde didn't have enough in it for me to be deemed a clear error by the ref either, JR took a couple of steps after the contact then tumbled which didn't help his case. I can see why that wasn't given."

"Good teams find ways to win. Bad teams find ways to lose. We managed to find a way to lose that game. It was an absolutely dreadful game, unbelievable how poor West Ham are with the money they’ve invested. It’s the same old ****ing story with us though. We can’t defend set pieces and we always concede straight after we score. Dread to think how many points down we are this season because of those two things."
- JadeWolf

"I thought all West Ham players were offside for their second which wasn’t even checked. It’s absolutely mental the state of football , let alone our ****ing club."
- Oh When the Wolves

"The team can’t string five passes together before they lose the ball. I believe we have the players to be more of a front foot team but it needs to be coached into them. West Ham, as poor a team as they are had something like 12 corners to our nil and they even had two disallowed goals. This shows where the game was being played and who was more attacking and likely to win. I get that we were away playing from home, but they controlled us on the main. Until we develop tactics to consistently play further up the pitch - like West Ham did - and improve our ball retention we will always struggle to win games."
- Eastern Wolf

"Bloody awful match. Bowen is an obnoxious little weed. Lemina seems to have more passion post-match than the previous 99 minutes. Championship beckons, Cunha off in January. If only there was a decent coach. That ship has so sailed. We haven’t beaten anyone at home who were outside the bottom three for close to a 11 months!"
- Bryce

"Honestly probably deserved a draw from that, but mostly because West Ham are also rubbish more than because of our good play. VAR really didn't do us any favours with what I thought were two very strong penalty shouts."
- Monketron

"West Ham have conceded 28 goals in 15 games since Lopetegui arrived, with an expected goals against of 31! Most competent teams would have spanked them tonight. Lemina with an absolutely clear sight of goal as their defence parted, Bellegarde with a free run into the heart of their box until Cunha decided to come across and tackle him, Doyle and Gomes both with very presentable opportunities and old man Doherty too fast for them for the goal."
- marrs-guitar

"Actually think West Ham were so bad that we had them for the taking. Unfortunately, we’re just worse than anyone can offer right now. I just hope that’s the end of that chapter. Fingers crossed it becomes one of those eras where you don’t quite understand how it happened."
- Wolf 82

"We were poor again, as were West Ham. But neither were as poor as the officiating."
- djmikeydickens

I thought West Ham looked bang average under Lop. Hugely helped out by our inability to defend a set piece and our own mental fragility/lack of concentration when we score. Any other season I think they’d be in trouble but they’ll stay up through being marginally better than three other sides. Also had all the Antonio stuff (get well soon) going on last night to bring them and the crowd together. We’ll go down because we completely deserve it, even though much of it was completely unavoidable and our own doing - but I think it’s only a matter of time before Lop goes at West Ham, because they looked pretty poor too."
- Jinky

"At no time did I think we would get anything from that game. Just resigned to another defeat! Poor VAR decisions, usual awful set piece goal to give away, just the same old, same old. West Ham are not very good, Everton are not very good and we have lost 6-1 against both of them!"
