    If Potts is still getting significant game time on 1 February, we haven't had a good transfer window. His position is one of those we should be looking to improve.

    My memories of Potts today were him backing out of at least 3 winnable challenges and of him jogging aimlessly back towards goal twice when Wolves were on the attack. He had a couple of good moments breaking up play in the first half but he was the worst Red's player today, albeit in a very professional team performance.

    I'm surprised he stayed on for the full 90 minutes.

    He was brilliant against Sunderland. Ran his blood to water. Gave everything.

    Potts is rapidly becoming one of my favourite players. Ungainly lacking in any great skill but gives it a go and helped our midfield compete against a very good Wolves team.

    Moncur on other hand as my nan would say if you’ve got nowt nice to say then say nowt.

    I'll take your word for it.
    All I can say is that with the exception of two or three games I've seen him in, he seems to have spells in the game where he just looks like he can't be bothered to run.
    I want him to do well. If he does, I'll be the first singing his praises.
    I just don't want him to be walking back into his own half as if he's not bothered, when Wolves are bursting through on his side of the pitch. Happened several times today.

    He wasn’t great but Davies and Moncur were the poorer performers today.

    don't think moncur did much wrong (or right), but Davies was terrible. Too hesitant and terrible distribution. Needs replacing in my opinon.

    Moncur didn’t have his best game but he didnt hide and if he applies himself as he did today he’ll be a good addition to our squad imo

    Your eyes must be painted on, if you think Moncur had a better game.

    Moncur had a 2 minute spell where he literally just tossed it off.

    I like Moncur but I think Potts gave him a poor ball on the break and Monks just gave up on it and let Wolves break. It was disappointing to see.

    Yeah Davies will be lucky if he isn’t on the bench by the end of the window.

    He's *****. Doesn't close down the ball, wastes passes & has a girl's hairstyle.

    i didn't notice that from moncur, but yes last chance saloon for Davies. Feel for Pinnock and Lindsay.

    I thought Potts did ok today. After the performance of the whole team I think it's unfair to pick out any player for criticism.

    My opinion of Adam was that in the second half he ran his blood to water for the team - completely out on his feet at the final whistle.

    I really rate Moncur when he’s at it and sometimes fans are too quick to throw the old ‘heart of a pea’ at him ect but today I felt he looked that way.

    When he came back in the side last year he looked fit and focused whilst also benefiting from the quality of Matty James.

    I do get the feeling though he’d rather be a League One number 10 than a Championship box to box.

    Fine first half, but went asked to go wide was blowing after 10 minutes. I would have replaced him with McCarthy.

    I like him. Looks proper awkward and clumsy at the best of times, but he’s a good option to have.

    First half he was playing well, looked better than Mallan, for me. Second half he didn’t look as good out wide, but still did well to get the ball in the box to Moore, only for Moncur to put it wide.
