-
We I mean :o

We I mean :o
Hmmm

Looks bad I admit but check my post history LOL.
Moving swiftly onto the match , we'll be lucky to get anything out of this.
-
Sorry for the late match thread I didn't have any signal in Erdiington.
-
So I guess he will play Elmo left, playing Hutton anywhere is a big mistake.
-
Looks bad I admit but check my post history LOL.

I just did...
-
Sorry for the late match thread I didn't have any signal in Erdiington.
Erdington really hasn’t advanced much from the time I lived there in the 80’s.
-
That's a shit tackle Hutton.
-
That's a shit tackle Hutton.
I’m going to copy that to save time later.
-
That's a shit tackle Hutton.
Copy and paste repeatedly.
-
Come on villa. It’s quiet on here today.
-
Great tackle, Hutton!
-
My normal method of watching the game has let me down. :(
-
That's a shit tackle Hutton.
Copy and paste repeatedly.
Brilliant tackle by Hutton to save a likely goal
-
Pigeon food chobblers on top.
-
Great tackle Hutton!
-
Great tackle from hutton there.
-
That's a shit tackle Hutton.
Copy and paste repeatedly.
Brilliant tackle by Hutton to save a likely goal
I take it all back.
-
That is a great tackle Hutton and a fucking shocker from Snoddy.
-
We are defending these set pieces terribly.
-
Hutton's in his sex-pomp today. He's going to get a hat-trick.
-
We I mean :o
Hmmm
Haha, sorry about that great tackle, TROLL!
-
Don't believe the hype, we're doing ok here.
-
We are shite going forward.
-
Wolves pass the ball very nicely.
-
Beautifully timed challenge from Hutton.
-
Wim norrasgoodas they'm am.
-
We are a shambles
-
Wolves are much more threatening here.
-
Wolves pass the ball very nicely.
Passing - not in the Bruce Guide of Good football
-
Wolves are, as it stands, top. Could we really expect anything else?
No shots on target yet...
-
The role Whelan is playing he really needs to show more energy.
-
I do love it when Wolves do that high pitched Villa Villa Villa...
...hah, stupid Villa having loads of kids following them...
-
I do love it when Wolves do that high pitched Villa Villa Villa...
...hah, stupid Villa having loads of kids following them...
we used to do the same to Derby, back in the day ...
-
Snodders looks like that SAS guy, Ant somebody.
-
I do love it when Wolves do that high pitched Villa Villa Villa...
...hah, stupid Villa having loads of kids following them...
I'm impressed they can sing that high. It must be because they have no testicles.
-
Fecking hell Kod, stay on your feet
-
I’d be happy with a draw here
-
Davis should have shot then.
-
I'm watching on a Facebook stream. A couple are filming their TV. I'm very grateful to them but their commentary is making me wish I was having conversation with the lotto lout about his opinion of Proust.
-
We are a shambles
Shambles? Really?
Strikes me as somewhat over the top.
-
No zip about us
-
The Debenham's Fanboys register their 1000th shot.
-
Thought refs were supposed to book players for diving...
-
Full backs are struggling.
-
There goes our promotion hopes.
-
Full backs are struggling.
As the commentator said, it's fortunate that Wolves don't really have a striker.
-
Oh dear we seem a bit unable to get a grip on the game here.
-
Terrible from Whelan there.
-
We are a shambles
Shambles? Really?
Strikes me as somewhat over the top.
Let’s say that the defending is not filling me full of confidence.
-
Wolves are better than I thought. Ride the storm Villa.
-
Wim gerrin ponned.
-
We are still failing to get the basics right.
-
Wolves are better than I thought. Ride the storm Villa.
Agree, good side good players. We’ll do well to get anything from this
-
Our attempts to pass our way out of trouble give me heart failure.
-
Not sure where we look the weakest, defence or in attack. Either way it doesn’t bode well
-
This is shit. Playing like we’ve got 10 men only a matter of time before they score
-
Not sure where we look the weakest, defence or in attack. Either way it doesn’t bode well
Don't forget the midfield.
-
Yeah,let em have potshots villa ffs
-
Whelan is not doing anywhere near enough.
-
Not sure where we look the weakest, defence or in attack. Either way it doesn’t bode well
I'd suggest it's in management
-
Hogan for Kodja please
-
We look exhausted
-
Yes Whelan is like a rubbish Heskey.
-
so far we've ridden the storm. can't see us lasting the whole match like this. We need a couple of break away goals to steal this.
-
We look exhausted
Probably because the players were entering who can drive the ball furthest competition at Bodymoor Heath
-
Hourihane lucky to still be on the pitch
-
Can see a red in this
-
They appear to be much, much better than us.
-
Hourihane lucky to still be on the pitch
Not sure you'd ever see a red for that but it was fucking stupid.
-
Yes Whelan is like a rubbish Heskey.
He makes Kinsella looks like Patrick Vieira.
-
Err they look quite good. I dont even think the players are that ace but they are setup very well. Of course Bruce is changing nowt to counter that :/
-
Hutton really doesn’t like cavelero does he 😂
-
Typical championship fare
-
They've been the better side no question, have some decent players and are well balanced. It's still 0-0 though. I really couldn't give a shit if we we win ugly.
-
Hutton really doesn’t like cavelero does he 😂
I don't think I'd like anyone who kept running past me like I wasn't there either.
-
Wolves are more discreet with their fouling than us.
-
Survived the half! *TSM-style fist pump*
-
We are a shambles
No we’re not. Decent away performance, keeping it tight.
-
Not the worst half of the day,which was at Anfield,but close.
-
Good resilience
Frustrating spells of passing sometimes
Kodjia and Davis really need to do a lot better
I think Onomah could come in here and strengthen us
-
Game panning out as I expected.
We're kicking and screaming our way to a point.
Wolves are a decent team in fairness. They can control games at this level. We can't unless we're playing a bottom 6 team.
-
Typical championship fare
Yeh but more watchable than that Plopmanu shit earlier today
-
Yes Whelan is like a rubbish Heskey.
He makes Kinsella looks like Patrick Vieira.
Yep he is always 5 yards away from where he needs to be.
-
Not the worst half of the day,which was at Anfield,but close.
That game was a shocker
-
The midfield needs to do so much more.
-
I thought we were awful that half, they had 10 attempted we had 1.
We are standing off them, so far they have not been good enough to score.
Hopefully that is our bad half.
-
Apparently they have an actual proper striker on the bench. If he comes on and we keep giving their wings so much space...
Davies looks out of it today, maybe Hogan on for second half.
-
Not the worst half of the day,which was at Anfield,but close.
Was going to mention that match. Very similar to this in Wolves having a lot of play but with almost an extra man as they don't have a striker. Lots of good play in and around the box.
I'm not sure that Wolves can play any better. For all their possession they've looked most dangerous at set pieces.
Think one goal good enough here.
-
We are a shambles
No we’re not. Decent away performance, keeping it tight.
I wouldn't say it's a decent performance. It's pretty abject and toothless going forwards. Fortunately the back 5 look solid and well organised.
-
We are a shambles
No we’re not. Decent away performance, keeping it tight.
We say that but it only takes one Wolves goal and it's another poor 1-0 away defeat under Bruce.
With what we have on the pitch we should be at least capable of having some decent strikes on target and have a spell of pressure. Have we even had a corner?
-
Typical championship fare
Typical? I honestly think this is the first time I've ever seen a championship team play a 343 with a false 9
Their movement is really causing us problems
Jota looks a great player
-
Do we try and see it out, or make changes? Limited options but I would like us to change it up front, not a massive difference between 1 or 0 points.
-
I’d be happy with a draw here
Not as happy as Bruce.
Is Houriane playing in a five man defence?
-
As it stands, we're in the top 6.
-
The role Whelan is playing he really needs to show more energy.
The role Whelan is playing really shows what an arse Bruce is. Be prepared for Whelan to have his usual shit second half, misplacing passes and looking dead on his feet. If only we had a player like Hourihane that could play in the role Whelan has been given.
-
I'm a bit surprised by the reaction here. We playing one of the better teams in the league and have limited them to one shot on target. We closing down well and putting a shift in. We just need to find a way of getting our better players 20 yards further forward. JK needs to be a bit stronger and KD should have had a pop first time then on his other opening taken a touch or two towards goal. Not the disaster that seems to be being described on the pages.
-
Has the bloke on Sky just said that was a penalty for dangerous play??
-
Well I am terrified for the second half, I didnt feel we were containing them or digging in at all. I thought we kept getting cut apart.
I hope Bruce proves me wrong in a few minutes but I fear he has no idea how to counter a manager who has gained the tactical advantage.
-
Let’s hope that was our bad half.
-
Err they look quite good. I dont even think the players are that ace but they are setup very well. Of course Bruce is changing nowt to counter that :/
They have pace but no real target man

Mourinho was pretty much praised for the same 4 hours ago.
-
Let’s hope that was our bad half.
Unless he makes changes, I genuinely believe that was our good half.
-
We've managed to contain them pretty well.
They are a much better team than us, their passing is way better than ours, but whilst they are the better team, they really haven't looked hugely like scoring.
This is the way Bruce teams play. It's not great to watch, but when you see halves like this one, you start to understand why it works more often than not.
-
I feared the worst during the first 15 minutes, but Wolves have been blunted by our rather ugly defensive strength. I don't know about anybody else - but Jimmy Danger looks to me to be a shadow of his former self this season. I'd like to think we'd have the capacity to hit 'em with a sucker-punch second half, but I can't see it happening tbh. Here's hoping I'm proved wrong...
-
Apparently they have an actual proper striker on the bench. If he comes on and we keep giving their wings so much space...
Davies looks out of it today, maybe Hogan on for second half.
Trouble is, when Davis goes off who will hold up the ball up front? The ball just bounces off Hogan at the best of times. Davis holds onto possession which is vital for us.

I'm with you Nastylee, decent tight first half away performance against a decent side who may or may not be all fart and no shit.....I can't quite decide yet! Hutton has been decent to be fair.
-
If we finish above Wolves we go up.

Would like us to show more going forward otherwise it's like many of the away defeats last season.
It's not impossible to score at Molineux, Cardiff got 2 there and Bristol City scored 3 a few weeks back.
-
Wolves just put on Bonattini, he is their out and out striker.
-
I dunno guys. Seems like some of you are seeing a gritty well disciplined defensive display from us. I hope you are right, because I didnt see that at all. I think we just got lucky.
But again I really hope your judgements are right and mine are wrong.
-
Apparently they have an actual proper striker on the bench. If he comes on and we keep giving their wings so much space...
And here he is...
-
Great possession there, Snod...
-
Why is it that other teams can pass a football and we never can? This has been going on for years and it's really making my arse itch.
-
Why is it that other teams can pass a football and we never can? This has been going on for years and it's really making my arse itch.
Even in the glorious MON days, we managed to win without ever really looking like we could play decent football.
It's fucking annoying.
-
It's football Jim,but not as we know it.
-
What is the matter with a Kodija?
-
We are Aston Villa. We will kick the ball to you.
-
The way we give away possession pisses me off.
-
KD has to do more this half. He needs to start putting himself about like he has in previous games.
-
Hook for Kod please
-
We can't play like this all half. You need to change something Bruce.
-
No surprise
-
It was coming
-
Still think it's a good performance SH?
We have offered nothing going forward.
-
The way we give away possession pisses me off.
It's all from the Bruce guide of dull football
-
Compared with the dingles, we just play complete anti football.
-
Game over.
-
There it is. Game over.
-
Was obviously coming. Now what do you do Bruce? Piss poor.
-
Can't say that hasn't been coming. Best player on the pitch
-
Bruce out.
-
Bruce has to change it quickly or this could be damaging for confidence
-
Pile of shit, another team we are making look like Barcelona.
-
All over, so predictable you just knew the game was going to play out like this.
-
Apparently they have an actual proper striker on the bench. If he comes on and we keep giving their wings so much space...
Davies looks out of it today, maybe Hogan on for second half.
Trouble is, when Davis goes off who will hold up the ball up front? The ball just bounces off Hogan at the best of times. Davis holds onto possession which is vital for us.
Think you might have a point. Kodjia looks dead at the moment. Did he play over the internationals weekend.
Adomah not at his best either.
-
Well they deserve that. I wonder what Bruce's cunning plan is now?
-
We'll win this 1-2.
-
No it’s ok we are doing fine.
-
The run of the game was leading to this, sadly. Also deserved. Maybe it will wake us up - nothing to lose now
-
Bruce has to change it quickly or this could be damaging for confidence
He should have changed it 15 min in 1st half.
-
You need to try and get a midfield that does something.
-
Well they deserve that. I wonder what Bruce's cunning plan is now?
Not to lose 2-0
-
Twice Elmo let ball pass. We are not any good
-
He will wait til we are 2 or 3 nil down til he changes anything
-
Yeah, they're miles better. We look pedestrian this half and need to change things now or we will lose this by 2 or 3
-
It’s times like this when I’m glad the Villa threw me out of the Away ticket scheme.
-
We'll win this 1-2.
I fear we will be spanked with Tactics Dim.
-
Get Whelan off.
-
Glenn Whelan is cack.
-
I am out. Good luck everyone. This is crap and I have better ways to spend my Saturday morning.
-
Why does everyone but Bruce realise that Whelan is a disaster?
-
Glenn Whelan is cack.
I wonder why.
-
This is a bit embarrassing really.
Being played into oblivion by the fucking dingles.
-
Yes Onomah is a must just to get some pace in the central areas.
-
No reaction by Bruce to the goal as usual
-
Bet Cotterill is worried to bits in the stand
-
No reaction by Bruce to the goal as normal
Keeping it tight at 1-0 for the next half hour I'd imagine. Maybe some attacks in injury time.
-
We look amateur on the ball.
-
It's like boys versus men. Unfortunately quick, fit, skillful boys against slow, blundering yesterday's men.
-
This is a bit embarrassing really.
Being played into oblivion by the fucking dingles.
But the dingles have a manager who coaches his team to pass the ball and play an attacking game
-
They are fitter, faster, in fact better in a departments. We are clueless.
-
They spend a few quid, and are instantly much better than us.
-
Well they deserve that. I wonder what Bruce's cunning plan is now?
Not to lose 2-0
Aye, that'll be about the size of his tactical 'nous'. ::)
-
We have 24% possession
-
Never got excited in the previous run. This type of play shows why. We really are shit..
Fuck it... about tio turn it off
-
This is a bit embarrassing really.
Being played into oblivion by the fucking dingles.
But the dingles have a manager who coaches his team to pass the ball and play an attacking game
And pace. It’s all about pace.
Our pedestrian football is so bloody ineffective.
-
See this is a pretty good example of why giving up possession in the long run will lose you games.
-
Can someone give Bruce a fucking poke and wake him up.
Another 2 week break where we come back looking like we've just awoken from a coma. Has Bruce spent the fortnight abroad eating and drinking shit again?
-
They spend a few quid, and are instantly much better than us.
Indeed. Frustrating as hell. We spend big and improve by 5-10%, them its more like 50-60%
-
They spend a few quid, and are instantly much better than us.
But they seem to have spent it wisely
-
Oh good, Tyrion Hoganister is coming on.
-
It's like boys versus men. Unfortunately quick, fit, skillful boys against slow, blundering yesterday's men.
They sign exciting talent from Portugal, we sign Glen Whelan and Elmo
-
The last team to cause Wolves problems pressed them. We sit back.
-
This is a bit embarrassing really.
Being played into oblivion by the fucking dingles.
But the dingles have a manager who coaches his team to pass the ball and play an attacking game
Why can’t we ever find a manager like that?
-

Judging by his waistline, yes
-
Good to see Steve changing the system.
-
Feel sorry for Davis,should have been Kodja
-
So far we have not turned a match around under Bruce and today looks very very unlikely.😟
-
This sums up the problem with playing for a clean sheet and hoping for a goal to get the win, as soon as the opposition has 1-2 players who can make a goal from nothing you always run the risk of going a goal down and looking like you don't really care about getting back into it because everyone is still playing to the same defensive plan.
Hogan on for Kodjia should mean we keep the ball on the floor a bit more but we all know we won't.
-
They spend a few quid, and are instantly much better than us.
They spent it much better than us, especially last summer but also considering what we spent on hogan
-
Thought maybe Kodjia might go off but Davis hasn't been holding it up well tonight. However, more experienced players have had worse games this evening.
-
We've made it easy for their defenders with poor ball control and passing.
-
Good to see Steve changing the system.
What system? Do we have one?
-
Our unbeaten run flattered to deceive, reality is setting in Bruce style
-
Ah well.
*turns telly off*
-
Problems with 442 really shown up today
But even considering that our passing has been really bad
-
They spend a few quid, and are instantly much better than us.
They spent it much better than us, especially last summer but also considering what we spent on hogan
Jota for them looks every bit the £15m player. Hogan for us looks like a free transfer from Nuneaton Town.
-
Good to see Steve changing the system.
What system? Do we have one?
The just sit back and pray system.
-
We look completely cold, 2 weeks wasted again doing fuck all, you can see we've taken it easy.
-
Whelan...
-
Fuck it, I’m gonna go and watch strictly
-
I reckon I could beat Whelan over 50 yards.
-
Sub bloody Whelan.
-
When Alan Hutton's the MotM...
-
Whelan is fucking abysmal.
-
We look completely cold, 2 weeks wasted again doing fuck all, you can see we've taken it easy.
Busy seeing who could hit a golf ball the farthest according to the OS
-
Looks like a run on Whelan here.
-
I reckon I could beat Whelan over 50 yards.
He always looks surprised when he gets the ball...
-
I reckon I could beat Whelan over 50 yards.
me too and I'm seriously overweight and have had 4 knee operations in the last 12 years.
-
Comes to something when an out of position Hutton is in with a shout for our MOM.
-
Will end up being 3-0.
-
4-4-2 doesn't work with such a pedestrian midfield, if you're playing a decent side.
-
Alberts fucked by the look of it
-
Where the hell are you from?, I'm from Wolverhamperton, I drink 20 pints a night, cos I'm from Wolverhamperton.(anybody remember that one?) Wankers of the highest order but they are considerably better than us. Sad times.
-
Pathetic
-
They spend a few quid, and are instantly much better than us.
They spent it much better than us, especially last summer but also considering what we spent on hogan
Jota for them looks every bit the £15m player. Hogan for us looks like a free transfer from Nuneaton Town.
It wasn't Neves who cost £15m, but I agree both have been absolutely class acts
Whelan and hourihane have struggled
-
Going out to a party. Setting out early. Bye...
-
Get Onomah on, Whelan is like having a fecking random glue sniffer playing for you. Complete shit hasn't put a foot right.
-
They have outdone us in every department you can think of, and some departments as yet unknown to science. If we go up this season, some kind of miracle will have occurred.
-
We should have sacked that idiot when we had the chance.
-
There you go well done Steve.
-
Garbage.
This is the standard of an automatic promotion team btw which is frightening given the difference in quality.
Be amazed if there's two other clubs in this league who can finish above them.
-
This is difficult to watch. Humiliating in every way but scoreline.
-
FUCK OFF BRUCE!
-
Johnstone done at the near post there
-
Well beaten
Have to say Wolves have been very impressive. Easily the best team I've seen since we've been down here
-
This is difficult to watch. Humiliating in every way but scoreline.
Give it time.
-
Wolves are going up We're not
-
This is pathetic. Absolutely outclassed.
-
Turned over. Watching Strictly
-
Awful, totally outplayed.
-
****** off Villa, fucking wasters, two weeks of jolly boys and fecking around, getting completely twatted here. Bruce can stick his smug comments up his fat arse, shit this is.
-
... and so passes Denethor, son of Ecthelion ...
-
4-4-2 doesn't work with such a pedestrian midfield, if you're playing a decent side.
It's not about the formation really, it's that we hold to the shape rigidly. If you're properly coached the formation is the defensive shape that you fall back into but with the ball you're trying to move out of it and create mismatches and overlaps.
-
Nothing to worry about, we are just keeping it tight.
-
Fair play to Wolves. We've been utterly turd.
-
Well done Steve not a moment too late....
-
That was embarrassing from Terry. He looked about 96.
-
Wolves are light years ahead of us.
Yet again, we play a team who look like a team. Whereas we...
-
Was handball
-
I reckon I could beat Whelan over 50 yards.
me too and I'm seriously overweight and have had 4 knee operations in the last 12 years.
Ask yourself why he's being played as a box to fucking box midfielder by our arsehole of a manager when he hasn't the bloody legs to play the position?
-
Neves and Jota are way too good for this level
-
They've spent the last 2 weeks doing staring competitions
-
It won't be the fault of Bruce. Never is
-
He should've been sacked before Norwich.
-
Has fist face woken up yet?
-
But all came from an aimless ball in fron Hiurihane
-
Hmmmmmmmm. Nowhere near auto promotion with this manager / team. Our best bet is getting up via the playoffs which is really not good enough. I can honestly see the club in this league for a good few years.
Also, Glen fucking Whelan. No.
-
Dr Tony are you watching???
Wolves are a template for resurrecting a football club.
Not just sitting back and ‘hoping’ that yesterday’s manager might get us promoted.
It’s not too late this season to get rid of Bruce.
-
Awful, totally outplayed.
But no surprise.
-
Good feeling gone - Bruce out!
First time we play a decent team and back to being rubbish. He needs to go.
-
We didn't have any tactics today
-
Fucking hell Kodjia.
-
Neves and Jota are way too good for this level
Just too good for us that’s all.
-

Yesterdays manager
Yesterday's players
Enough said
-
I made it! Victory is assured
It was funny at the time.
-
It’s all very well twatting teams like Burton, but we’re never going up playing like this agsinst the better teams.
-
Fair play to Hutton I must say
-
We didn't have any tactics today
What are these "tactics" of which you speak?
-
This is shameful.
-
Wait for the hysterical fans to come out again. *Brucie excuse no.68
-
They are better than us all over the pitch. Pass and move and pass quickly and run into space.
Should've been 3
-
He should've been sacked before Norwich.
Three months earlier, last May
-
We pass like a lower half championship side. Where's the fucking energy? Where's the movement? Where's the pace? Ball hoiked around until Wolves get hold of it then pass triangles around our fucking cloggers making us look like a park team.
Haven't beaten a single team so far who have a positive goal difference, flat track bullies who won't get anywhere near automatic promotion, no matter what guff and bluster Bloated Bruce comes out with his dull as shit, plodder football won't be going up this season, no matter how many times he tells us it's ridiculous to panic because he's a promotion expert.
-
Good save from Johnstone there
-
They have 2 players in the penalty area giving our 4 defenders mayhem.
-
What do we think, 3-0, 4-0 ?
-
He should've been sacked before Norwich.
Three months earlier, last May
Exactly.
-
Well beaten
Have to say Wolves have been very impressive. Easily the best team I've seen since we've been down here
Seconded
-
I can see Tony sacking Bruce and appointing Moyes, this is the Villa way, play it safe ::)
-
And for a team that were awful last season, they have managed to transform it all in very quick time. So it doesn't always 'need time'.
-

Bruce, to give him credit, is probably quicker than our center back pairing, their movement is way to much for plodding defenders. Hutton has assured his name will be on the team sheet until he is the scapegoat after our next terrible run.
-
Dr X's glorious 5-Year-Plan (for world domination) looks like it might just take a tad longer. :o
-
I don't think I have seen a team that is as bad as passing the ball as us so many unforced errors.
-
Wolves have the league tied up. They won't lose many. That said, there's no other team in the division to be worried about. I mean Leeds have lost about their 5th game on the bounce so 2nd is wide open. We've gone 8 unbeaten, we were bound to lose at some point.

Because it's a convenient excuse for bullshitters. Always jam tomorrow.

Pity we can’t play the likes of Burton every week.
How many years, how many managers before we get back into the PL?

Has Hogan had a touch yet?

Yep. They have spent well on young, pacey players who are good and get the fans going. A great combination
-
We have the movement of 11 re-animated corpses.
-
Fuck sake what a collapse.

Agreed, this defeat isn't the end of the world. We are still right in it in terms of a play off spot, we weren't last year.

I think its the manner of the defeat. A abject surrender
-
We didn't have any tactics today
What are these "tactics" of which you speak?
Indeed , what is this white round thing of which you speak?
-
86 minutes 1st corner Says it all
-

Whilst we accept managers who put teams out to play like this? Could be lots.
If we start demanding a manager who makes the team better than the sum of it's parts and a team that's worth what we've spent on it then hopefully the next manager will be enough.

Hairy balls, shit and piss.

Absolutely
-
I think wolves are just standing their ground now and waiting for our attacks to break down, and they do.
-
Least O'Hare is showing for it
-
Absolutely sick of us being so shit.
-
Steve Fucking Bruce played not to lose again. Shock - we got battered.
-
86 minutes 1st corner Says it all
Can you remember the season we scored from a corner?
-
Dr Tony are you watching???
Wolves are a template for resurrecting a football club.
Not just sitting back and ‘hoping’ that yesterday’s manager might get us promoted.
It’s not too late this season to get rid of Bruce.
Absolutely right. Looks like the yam yams got the smarter Chinese owners. Fosun > Recon, Tone, sort it out

That's fair enough.

This is exactly how teams beat Bruce's sides in the premier league as well, get into them early and get a goal up then you can just sit deep and counter attack and he'll play into your hands.
-
Glenn Whelan, pants not just pulled down by Stoke but shredded in to a million pieces. He looks like he's 80.
-
Least O'Hare is showing for it
Done more since he's been on than any of the others have all match combined. I'd start him ahead of Snodgrass/Hourihane/Kodjia next match. My guess is we won't see him again until next time we're two goals down, though.
-
Elmohamedy really isn't much cop is he?
-
Elmohamedy really isn't much cop is he?
A bizarre signing. Completely and utterly pointless player.
-
The only good point so far has been ohare. I think he’s becoming a very good playe
-

He was at fault for the first goal, really poor effort.
-

Thats why he didnt make the starting 11 of the ROI. Legs have gone

Won't be at B6 very long then

This is so correct.We have promising youngsters and fuck up their development.And keep lazy fuckers like Kodja to retain their place.
-

To be fair, he's come on when the opponents have won the game and winding down. Not a true reflection of his ability over 90 minutes, I would say.
-
I think people are exaggerating Wolves ability, they are not world beaters they just came up against a team that have some decent players but are organised in such a way that undermines their ability.
-

Bizarre. And lazy

Didn't realise he had legs, I've never seen him move, I thought he was buried in the pitch from the waist down.
-
Ha! "Can we play you every week?"

So you're saying he's not as good as I thought?
-
It’s all very well twatting teams like Burton, but we’re never going up playing like this agsinst the better teams.
Better team, singular. Apart from Wolves, I don't think there's anyone decent in the division.

A Paul Lambert/Grant Holt, I know him and he's a top bloke, honest pro, bollocks type of signing.
-
Not at the races at all. Wolves look very good, but second half we looked awful

Except Cardiff and Reading who both did this to us as well?

Sheffield Utd beat Wolves 2-0 (and that flattered Wolves) - they must be pretty decent too.
