Addicks 1 Wolves 3 No sign yet of the club's internet commentary, although the ones that tuned into local Black Country radio seemed to think we were well beat. The Reading game sure does seem a long time ago, doesn't it? And watching Hull's win at Newcastle only emphasised our sudden fall from Premiership grace.

A phone call with a mate has given me a little more enlightenment to our performance, and Varney should have put us further ahead early in the 2nd half. Nevertheless we were constantly on the back foot with Wolves, without Iwelumo who got injured in the warm-up, always in the ascendency. Bailey's goal did sound a cracker though, pity I won't be able to see it!

Like Preston, I also fancy Wolves' chances this season and the 3 goals today takes their total to 16 for the season. However of course that is the 2nd consecutive game we have thrown away a two-goal lead, and at 80 minutes I would have settled for a draw.

The result doesn't do much for my recent unexplainable torpor, once again as an overseas Addick I'm feeling very detached from the goings on, my expectations this season are not great but the next two games need to put a smile back on our faces.
