-
Ings who has scored in his last three games against this lot.
-
Good to have Digne back!
-
Only eight subs? Guessing Ings got injured very shortly before kick off.
-
Oh Ings injured. Another one that happens overnight. ‘Rona maybe.
-
Win please Villa.
-
Wolves: Sa, Boly, Coady, Castro, Kilman, Marcal, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Silva, Podence, Trincao.
Subs: Ruddy, Ait-Nouri, Neto, Gomes, Cundle, Semedo, Saiss, Chiquinho, Hwang
-
Anyone with a little babbling Brook please pm
-
Surely if it was Coronavirus we'd have known in advance and would have brought an extra sub? I'm assuming we can't recall Davis or Archer if it turns out to be something serious?
-
I like it. That midfield needed some change and I'm looking forward to seeing Bailey. Clearly his "chat" with William while in Jamaica has had the desired affect.
-
Bloody hell..Sanson and Bailey start.
Happy to see them both get a chance to impress
-
Apart from Bailey that's fairly strong. I doubt Ings would have started anyway.
-
Keep Podence and Trincao quiet and we'll win
-
Ings excused because his wife gave birth last night so hopefully back soon.
-

The words 'new', 'soccer' and a 7-letter synonym for 'brooks' beginning and ending with 's' and 'google' come to mind.

Please win Villa, after That Debacle earlier in the season!
2-2
-
Very nice shade of lipstick that (I assume) Fabio Silva has gone for in that picture.

I screen-grabbed it as the Dingles posted a video of the full XI gurning at us one by one. Not having that.

It saves me doing thirty pms. Anyone who can't work it out can pm me but I will take the piss.
-

Apart from Bailey? I don’t get it.
-
Apart from Bailey that's fairly strong. I doubt Ings would have started anyway.
Apart from Bailey? I don’t get it.
Needs a bit of run, does Leon. Once up to speed, he'll be ridiculously good, I reckon.
-
Apart from Bailey that's fairly strong. I doubt Ings would have started anyway.
Apart from Bailey? I don’t get it.
Me either, it will be good to have pace up front. I think Bailey and Watkins could have fun with Coutinho feeding them.
-
Apart from Bailey that's fairly strong. I doubt Ings would have started anyway.
Apart from Bailey? I don’t get it.
There's an odd narrative forming that Bailey is actually the new Kieran Richardson, rather than an excellent winger who has barely had the chance to play yet.
I don't get it either .
-

We can't.
-
Ta. Sounds like Ings should be back soon enough, anyway.
-
That’s a very surprising and very intriguing line up. Potentially lethal, probably…
-
I like that line up
-
Oooooh wanky, wanky!
-
Anyone with a little babbling Brook please pm
Me too
-
Has a band played Abide With Me yet? It being their cup final, an all that.
-
Anyone with a little babbling Brook please pm
Me too
Same :)

Saw this on the BBC live text:
"I've not met a Wolves fan so far who thinks they'll win this one. Olly and Mike outside the Doug Ellis Stand couldn't see them scoring with no Raul Jimenez or Ruben Neves. They can't see a win, but added that Villa can be a bit hit and miss."
Haha, I never knew Molineux had its own Doug Ellis stand.
-
He lives on The Lunt,
He lives on The Luu-uuu-unt,
Bruno Lage,
He lives on The Lunt.
-
I like that line up
Well that's us stuffed then. God, what is wrong with you people!
-
Anyone with a little babbling Brook please pm
Me too
Same :)
Read the first two pages of the thread and all will be revealed in 3-2-1!
-
FFS
-
Crap.
-
what the actual fuck was that?!
Playing in tennis shoes.
-
Oh bollocksy poo
-
Fuck sake
-
Fucking typical.
-
Ridiculous goal to conceded, two slips!
-
Fucking disgusting start at the back.
-
FFS!!!!
What a cock up.
-
Bloody hell mings
-
Fucking hell Mings!
-
Great hit to finish it, but what a fucking mess.
-
What the heck is our defence playing at??
-
Should be two down, woeful from Mings.
Looks like we're having our usual post international hangover whereas Wolves are fresh as daisies despite having as many away.
-
Anyone with a little babbling Brook please pm
And me please!
-
Shambles
-
Wake up Villa!
-
Anyone with a little babbling Brook please pm
And me please!
Read page 1 of the thread.
-
And people actually think we've improved under this manager?!
-
Anyone with a little babbling Brook please pm
And me please!
yes
-
Another weekend ruined.
-
Cant get anything on VillaTV, just as well it seems
-
Digne injured again. Great.
-
And people actually think we've improved under this manager?!
Not a fan then
-
Is Digne all that? Think I'd have preferred to stick with Targett and go for Hickey in the summer.
-
This is fucking awful - everything that could go wrong has
now Digne off
-
And people actually think we've improved under this manager?!
Not a fan then
No. Can't stand him
-
Defence look like they've had ten pints in the Bilston tavern pre match, terrible so far.
-
Fucking hell. 90 minutes for France but ten for us. Young on instead of Digne. FFS!
-
And people actually think we've improved under this manager?!
Here we go…
-
Wow, Digne is pathetically soft.
-
This great scouse experiment is not working for me.
-
Jacob the only one putting a foot in
-
This has got a limp, half arsed, nothing performance slapped all over it's Chevy Chase
-
We looked fine up until the goal and have lost all our fight and spirit since. Doesn’t matter who the manager it is almost soaked into the fabric of the club.
-
I’m watching this but I regret it. Already!
-
Digne being injured again is a massive problem.
-
Has Gerrard slumped back into his chair with his arms folded yet.
-
And people actually think we've improved under this manager?!
Here we go…
That goal had nothing to do with Gerrard and everything to do with the players fucking it up.
-
Not in the least bit surprised - shite season of underachievement.
Don't think Gerrard will improve us much at all.
-
so many half arsed, limp and unprofessional performances this year.
Fucking sick of it.
-
The same was being said about Arteta last season. How about we give the bloke a chance?
-
Looking brighter again now.
-
Once again Gerrard has an international break to work with the squad, and yet again we look worse for it
-
The same was being said about Arteta last season. How about we give the bloke a chance?
-
I take it if we do turn it around, the apologies will be forthcoming.
So much bile
-
How can he work with them when the majority are playing all around the world on international duty
-
so many half arsed, limp and unprofessional performances this year.
Fucking sick of it.
Me too. How much did we spend last summer / January? To go backwards.
-
I take it if we do turn it around, the apologies will be forthcoming.
So much bile
That’s my post-gallbladder removal reflux. Sorry!
-
How can he work with them when the majority are playing all around the world on international duty
Eh? He's been here what 5 months now. How do others manage it?
-

100% this
-

Don’t let cold facts and logic get in the way of people talking out of their behinds.
-
So many half arsed, limp and unprofessional performances this year.
Fucking sick of it.
This year? More like the past 12 seasons.
This is a standard Villa performance.
-
Boly dosen't get booked for that yet Mings got that yellow v Arsenal for winning the ball?!
-
Good effort from Bailey
-
Fully grown men in those ridiculous Mexican wrestling masks. The mind boggles.
-
Good effort from Bailey
That's not the positivity we need right now thanks.
-
Fully grown men in those ridiculous Mexican wrestling masks. The mind boggles.
Only allowable in a surf instrumental band.
-
Boly dosen't get booked for that yet Mings got that yellow v Arsenal for winning the ball?!
that was a very dangerous tackle,
-
Yeah top save from the Wolves keeper, Bailey getting central and making things happen. Need to give him more of the ball.
-
Got to get Cash going
-
Looks like they will sit back and hit us on the counter
-
Sanson getting into the game more and more.... Some nice little touches. Hope he makes that slot his own.
-
What a fucking disaster
-
Fuck sake Ashley!
-
Oh shit
-
So two cock ups for their goals.
The gifting of goals is ridiculous.
-
Game over
-
Really glad we went out of our way to help Newcastle.
-
Bollocks.
-
Piss off, Ashley Young. So stupid to get rid of Targett.
-
Fucking Ashley deciding to play it safe and put it out for a goal
-
Hope we win 3-2
-
Well we certainly need a new LB in the summer that's for sure.
Just when we were actually dominating the game and playing some decent football in final third.
Sigh.
-
What the fuck are we doing? This is malpractice. Disgusting execution and accountability.
-
Another weekend ruined. Loaning out Targett was utterly stupid.
-
What the fuck is going on?
Shocking defending again.
-
Get one back this half nd this is not over
-
well pat murphy seems to be enjoying it
-
Just fuck off.
Making scoring a goal look like the hardest thing in the world, yet coughing up easy chances left, tight and centre to our opponents.
-
McGinn with the weak pass in midfield, gives them possession which leads to the goal - again. He’s been one of my favourite players in recent years but he’s looking increasingly frail and replaceable. As is mings.
-
FFS, can we not trust professional players to wear proper studs?
And Young, sorry, but his pace is shot, he's physically bullied, what the fuck does he bring apart from gobbing-off to the ref?
-
The game plan is shit.
-
We're invited to dinner tonight. I'm getting wankered.
-
I dont like how narrow we are - trying to play through 3 in the back.
-
We’re experts at self imploding. We seem to have one good game in every five or so….other than that we’re bang average.
-
The game plan is shit.
Yes. Go two down, lose composure, rack up bookings, go three down, bring on Luiz.
-
Are we safe yet?
-
I’d get McGinn off. It’s fucking shit, usual sloppy shit in midfield letting them in.
-
Bailey and Sanson only players looking like they want to be there.
-
We're invited to dinner tonight. I'm getting wankered.
Going out early doors with the same aim.
-
McGinn with the weak pass in midfield, gives them possession which leads to the goal - again. He’s been one of my favourite players in recent years but he’s looking increasingly frail and replaceable. As is mings.
same here
-
Got to do what they did then. Don't laugh.
-
I stopped watching once I saw those Mexican wrestling masks, and prefer to follow the game on here.
We look a poor side. So many pathetic excuses for footballers.
-
I’d get McGinn off. It’s fucking shit, usual sloppy shit in midfield letting them in.
World class for Scotland, absolute shit today for us. 3 strikes and you’re out, in 30 minutes no less.. just plain poor today.
-
I dont get how sometimes we make scoring a goal look so bloody hard work
And then, make it easy for them to score
-
All part of the game to get them back for the villa park game. Lead them into a false sense of security and 3 late goals to us.
Boom boom 🤯
-
The game plan is shit.
Yes. Go two down, lose composure, rack up bookings, go three down, bring on Luiz.
*Start pressing around the 80th minute mark.
-
At least we've got a contender for (own) goal of the season. Wonderful technique to get it in from there, you can't teach that.
-
Our defence has been desperately poor of late.
-
When did we last win when falling behind?
-
I thought that our defence looked better with Chambers in it.
-
When did we last win when falling behind?
Not 100% certain but pretty sure the opposition were Old Carthusians.
-
Remember when villa sides were built from the back and were hard to beat? I hate this shit of soft goals.
-
Our defence has been desperately poor of late.
Konsa and Young have both made catastrophic mistakes and Mings got away with one. Digne goes off because his belly hurts. what a joke.
-
How on earth do they end up four vs two from our corner?
-
Bailey and Sanson only 2 players to come out of 1st half with any credit.
The rest of em need a rocket up them at HT.... And get them some longer studs FFS!
-

Chambers is the only one that has looked good recently
-
Shambolic against the counters, why are we sending Young up for corners?! He should be on the halfway line as he can't exactly sprint back these days.
Schoolboy stuff.
-
At least we've got a contender for (own) goal of the season. Wonderful technique to get it in from there, you can't teach that.
Apparently the club are going to offer him another year on his contract. We've got to be more positive and forward thinking than that.
-
We were getting these performances from Smith.
-
When did we last win when falling behind?
Even at 1-0 the probability is that would be enough for them to win. Another game where we could play all night and not score.
-
What is it with all our players slipping?
-

Not 100% certain but pretty sure the opposition were Old Carthusians.
Lesta wasn't it?
-
Steven Gerrard got absolutely schooled there by Bruno Lange.
-
Our defence has been desperately poor of late.
Our attack is not looking that great
-
How on earth do they end up four vs two from our corner?
We're sending up Young to outjump Wily Boly.
-
Sounds if we're lucky it's only 2.
-
Can we get special dispensation to make 5 subs at half time today?
-
The whole season has been such a massive disappointment. From pre-season, right the way through it has been a shitshow bar a slight up-turn with the new manager.
-
I am furious.
Everyone is world class on international duty and absolute dog shite for club. They should be ashamed.
-
These commentators reckon the game is still not over. They don't know us do they.
-
What is it with all our players slipping?
Wolves players can stand up why can’t we?
-
Right bang on a tenner for villa 3-2 win
-
The whole season has been such a massive disappointment. From pre-season, right the way through it has been a shitshow bar a slight up-turn with the new manager.
we never really recovered from that Greasy summer. Still a shambles

Seriously ffs!
Poor again from us against a side from the top 8!
Why isn't young clearing that ball with his boot instead of his head?
-
Sounded like we booed off?
Really bad half - seen so many performances like this from both managers this season
Clearly something wrong with the mix of players we have - though fucked if I know what. Certainly less then the sum of its parts, and alot of the players have been significantly worse.
I would think only Ramsey and Cash you can say have had a good season.
Oh to have a manager and a squad as balanced as wolves
Def at the moment were talking the talking, but a long long way from walking the walk
-
We’re shit in both penalty boxes. Not exactly a recipe for success.
-
We were getting these performances from Smith.
This. We look so inept at times. Some very poor performances even early on in the half.
Why these players need a kick up the arse at half time is beyond me. Sort yourselves out and play with a bit of desire you overpaid, useless ******.
It's not being able to do the simple things that I have no patience for. Countless times over the course of this season, I've just turned the game off like a spoilt child. There is not a chance in hell that we'll get anything from this game. Not with the usual shit suspects playing like farts week in week out.
-
Massive gaps again. Too many players ahead of the ball, no pattern to our attacks. No defensive midfield player. Shocking goals to concede. It's been really poor.
-
Disgraceful unprepared performance. over hit passes, constant slips, no movement, no width, 2nd to every loose ball. We are easy as fuck to play against because we move the ball so slowly, it ends up back at Mings every time who launches it forward to an isolated Watkins.
Gerrard is showing very little to suggest he will be a top flight manager, in fact he is showing fuck all to suggest he will be. Another Lampard.
This will end up 4 or 5-0.
-
Why do we keep slipping over? Has Wolves’ version of Fulchester’s evil Gus Parker been surreptitiously greasing our fecking boots or something?
-
The whole season has been such a massive disappointment. From pre-season, right the way through it has been a shitshow bar a slight up-turn with the new manager.
we never really recovered from that Greasy summer. Still a shambles
We had ample time to prepare as it was likely he was going and didn’t
-
What is it with all our players slipping?
Yes it's terrible. You'd have thought they'd have sorted that out. It cost us the first goal, but we've been terrible.
Even the foul-mouthed nutter behind me had quietened down a bit after abusing every single player (theirs and ours), but now has time to shout abuse at the Wolves kids doing a lap of honour at half time. Where do we get f'ans' like these from?
-
Most worrying thing for me is we already look like we've reached a plateau under this manager against every top 8 team we face.
Our record so far is very poor and we'll be playing a few more of them before the season is out.
Wolves are missing two of their best players aswell ffs.
-
maybe this bunch of players is not up to it.

I see a squad overhaul in the summer with a load of experienced players brought it and a 14th place finish next season.
-
Well I've missed the first half in its entirety, which seems a good thing reading the above!
-
I struggle to see how we’re going to improve in the 2nd half. Nothing has clicked today. We look disjointed and disinterested.
-
Another summer clear out beckoning.
-
Is Gerrard not using the players right the problem? Or are the players not being right for what he needs them to do?
Either way so many basics are wrong that most managers would struggle with this lot at times.
-
Another summer clear out beckoning.
we can’t keep having massive clear outs each summer. We need to get it right at some point 🤣
-
Garbage
with exception of martinez, cash and ramsey, i would not miss any of the rest
why is mings caught out at the other end of the pitch so often
did we choose the wrong studs for our boots
-
Is Gerrard not using the players right the problem? Or are the players not being right for what he needs them to do?
Either way so many basics are wrong that most managers would struggle with this lot at times.
We look easy to attack and offer no threat up front.
-
I know it's unfair to judge Gerrard now and he needs to build his own squad and get at least a full season behind him, but there is something monumentally depressing about having been spoon-fed warm dog sick for almost every one of the last 25 seasons.
Not much less depressing is the inevitability of having written most of those seasons off when a little over 2/3s of the way through.
It's miserable.
-
We've had 1 shot on target which was from about 30 yards.
When Gerrard came in he wanted to play with both fullbacks really high because that worked in the farmers league, we constantly got exposed at the back on the break with just Konsa and Mings trying to defend against 4, so we had to bin that off.
Not really sure what we're trying to do today.
-
As an aside, I hate fuckers covering the game taking the piss out of us, John Acres and Jason thingy on the BBC.

Just feels a bit pointless to me, constantly spending 100m + every year just to produce same mediocre results when it comes to the crunch.
We just need better coaching. Wolves have played the same system for five years now and it shows when they can lose a couple of key players and yet squad players come in and know the formation.
People take the mick out of waiting for Mendes to find them players but they're not a club who spends as much as we do.
-
Any other club would come out and put Wolves under serious pressure to try and get back into it and force errors, we will come out pass it around slowly and go 3-0 down before 55 minutes.
-

Exactly. We cannot keep pointing the finger at Grealish. We've undoubtedly made progress since NSWE arrived, but we went into the season totally unprepared and bar one or two flashes of brilliance, it's been a bad season.
-
This is a piece of shit that's not worth polishing until the next window, it's that simple. We're only a couple of glaringly obvious pieces away from being solid but until then I'm off to bed, fuck this bullshit.
I feel for you folks close to the black country. Take care.
-
Sort it out Gerrard!

Southampton same. Succession planning.
-

Precisely. Why this is so hard to accept I don't know.
-
Second to every ball so far.
-
WAKE UP JOHN McGINN!!!
-
How many times does mcginn give the ball away
He needs to be binned
-
McGiveitaway again. McStrewth!
-
Checking in from South Africa, wish I hadn't looked.
Heading back to the pool, grabbing a beer and ignoring Villa for a week methinks.
-
Ollie feeding on scraps again. Actually not even scraps.

-
We never seem to have any players in there half until they have all there players back
-
This is too easy for Wolves.
-
McGinn looks like I used to on a Sunday morning, although at least he hasn't been sick yet.
-
McGinn seems to be our 'designated defensive midfielder' today. Absolutely NOT the spot he should be playing today, or ever again!
-
Two inches wide from Ollie
-
Got to score those Ollie.
-
Oh Watkins! How did you miss that???
-
Usual fucking miss from 10 yards from Ollie Watkins. SHIT, SHIT, SHIT.
SHIT.
-
Sa's legs couldn't have been open any wider to pop ball through them.
-
Not even particularly close. Shite
-
miss a fucking sitter.
if he can play for England.......
-
Not even particularly close. Shite
The only surprise is that he didn't hit the post / crossbar.
-
Get Chuk on.
-
Ollie feeding on scraps again. Actually not even scraps.
He's just missed an absolute sitter. Shocking from Ollie.
-
Get Chuk on.
For....
-
Ollie feeding on scraps again. Actually not even scraps.
He's just missed an absolute sitter. Shocking from Ollie.
that was some miss
-
Not even particularly close. Shite
The only surprise is that he didn't hit the post / crossbar.
At least he'd stayed onside. Small steps..
-
Er. Why did Watkins chase that down when we gave the ball back?
-
Not even particularly close. Shite
The only surprise is that he didn't hit the post / crossbar.
At least he'd stayed onside. Small steps..
he is no where near a top 6 side forward and you have just seen why
-
Too many players who we rave about but in truth are very mediocre
Until we get rid of these we will never threaten to get into the top 6
-
The 3 Grealish replacements have been disappointing. Was it worth signing any of them.
-
Ollie feeding on scraps again. Actually not even scraps.
He's just missed an absolute sitter. Shocking from Ollie.
that was some miss
I could've drove my Transit van through the keepers legs they were so wide open.
-
The 3 Grealish replacements have been disappointing. Was it worth signing any of them.
nope
-
Utter wank.
-
Roll on the summer.
-
We appear to have dragged Coutinho down to our level. That didn’t take too long.
-

Is he playing? Fuck me!
-
Bailey. Hmm. Is he actually any good or what?
-
The 3 Grealish replacements have been disappointing. Was it worth signing any of them.
nope
Combined, I dont think they have contributed as much as AEG, let alone grealish
-
Aston Villa. It’s the hope that kills you.
-
It’s one of those afternoons when whoever is not in the team become world beaters but worrying thing is it’s happening every other match.
-
The 3 Grealish replacements have been disappointing. Was it worth signing any of them.
nope
Combined, I dont think they have contributed as much as AEG, let alone grealish
Add to that, Traore, Sanson, Young.
-
What does the tablet say today?
-
Teams seem to know they can just wait for the mistakes and then come at us on the break away.
-
2-0 down and Wolves making the first tactical sub. Need to try something here Gerrard, as this 11 is clearly not working.
McGinn has been terrible, Coutinho non-existent, Watkins wasteful. I'd get Chuk and Traore on for McGinn and Coutinho - Probably won't change the result, but their performances deserve the hook.
-
Bailey. Hmm. Is he actually any good or what?
Disappointing since his debut. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until he has had a pre-season with us.
-
The 3 Grealish replacements have been disappointing. Was it worth signing any of them.
nope
Combined, I dont think they have contributed as much as AEG, let alone grealish
Add to that, Traore, Sanson, Young.
First team signings are shit. I dont get all this data, all this skills etc and Lange and his team have got pretty much every signing wrong.
Only ones that seem to have worked are those that have the whoever the Manager is name all over them.
-
Haha, a half-hearted 'sheeeet on the Vill-a' from these no marks simpletons, pretending to be the blues and pretending like we give two shits about Wolverhampton.
-
I’m not quite sure what this team is trying to do.
No real shape or purpose.
Hoping something will drop for them.
-
Bailey's not put a world beating performance in, but he's been far from our worst player today.
-
I’m not quite sure what this team is trying to do.
No real shape or purpose.
Hoping something will drop for them.
Neither are they, which is worrying.
-
Martin Keown has just said on the Beeb that he thinks we'll get something out of this :o
-
Sanson's look alright. Other than that I can't think of anything positive to say.

He's right: scorn and derision the length and breadth of the country.
-
we had a chance to get back into the game, its pretty irrelevant now, they will just wind the clock down
-
Why no changes
To a man they have been awful.
SG wanted 5 subs despite the fact the concept seems completely foreign to him
-
We're a mid-table team with mid-table players other than Coutinho and Martinez. We'll need to do some serious upgrading to get where we want to be. We can afford two or three mid-table players to be starting for us next season, but not nine. We need at least three quality new signings.
-
That should have been 3.
-
Sanson's look alright. Other than that I can't think of anything positive to say.
And he will be dropped for Luiz next game
-
FFS, should have been 3
-
Moutinho may be nearly 40 but we desperately need that sort of tempo player in the middle for next season.
Someone who dosen't attempt fancy passes but always in right place to intercept and keep the game ticking over.
-
Sanson's look alright. Other than that I can't think of anything positive to say.
Aaaaaannd he's been subbed. OK then.
-
Told you Luiz would be on. What the fuck is he going to do?
-
Luis for Sanson??! What the actual fuck?! How is McGinn still on the fucking pitch!
-
Here’s a question for you. What are we actually good at on the pitch? Defending? Midfield? Attacking? It’s all a bit kak at the mo.
-
Coutinho absolute rubbish today.
-
Told you Luiz would be on. What the fuck is he going to do?
probably get sent off.
-
Do we still have a set piece coach?
-
Our senior central midfield options are seriously shit.
-
Absolutely the wrong decision to take off Sanson. McGinn should of been the one hooked.
-
Catweazle has shown the tablet to Bunendia. Ere we go!
-

Talking the talk?
-
And now Coutinho off for Buendia. Sigh…
-
So SG seems convinced the formation isnt the issue
All like for like - just bring on the understudies
This half has been more disapointing then the first, because we should have seen a response which we just havent
-
Full time set piece coach and McGinn floats a corner in for the keeper to pluck from the air.
Class that is.
-

I agree!
-
Buendia should have come on a lot earlier.
-

Who are you blaming there?
-
And still McGinn stays on the pitch.
You have to laugh.
-
It’s all rather tedious.
-
McGinn is one of our most overrated players ever.

The set piece coach and McGinn.

He's one of the players who, the longer he stays on the pitch, the worse he gets.
-
Coutinho absolute rubbish today.
3rd game in a row where he's gone missing
-

Pointing. 10/10.
-
Still willing to give Gerrard some time and a proper preseason, but at the moment, it feels very much like we have replaced the previous manager with a scouse clone.
Stubborn, constantly picks underperforming favourites and no Plan B. Work to your strengths - Square pegs in round holes won't work in this league.
-
McGinn is one of our most overrated players ever.
He seems to find his feet for Scotland.
-

I said before. We are partly to blame. We hyped him to a level behind what he’s capable. He’s a solid PL midfielder but only as a squad player. Not starting in my opinion for any team mid table or above. We need better. Much better
-
That's a yellow card all day.
-

exactly
-
We've been crap all game so make changes with 15 minutes left.
-
Bailey. Hopeless.

My biggest concern is his persitence with a formation that clearly doesnt work or suit our players.
I think he is way out this depth
-
We have a half decent game about every 6 games. The rest range from shite to meh.
-

He plays in a front 3 for Scotland, or one of the 2 behind the front man to be more precise. I don't think his strengths are in CM.
-
For Bailey see Charles N’Zogbia.
For Sanson see Steven Ireland.
-
the ref has been shit as well

Most Premier League teams are a lot better than teams like Israel though.
-
Brentford beating Chelsea 4-1. Fuck me!
-
SCORE IN A BROTHEL...!
-
Pen
-
9th with 16 defeats. We won't be 9th much longer. You just know we'll be overtaken by about 3-4 sides who we were ahead of on points a month or so again.
-
Penalty
-
Penno with var? Who to take?
-
another Watkins miss
-
Coutinho absolute rubbish today.
3rd game in a row where he's gone missing
He is a bit of a luxury we can’t afford to have in this team
-
We need an upgrade up front.... Ollie should have a brace here. I'd be hard done by if that pen was given against us (*and he almost fucked the penalty too!)
-
In off the post. Get in.
-
The come back is on
-
In off the post (for a change).
-
4 minutes left. Bring it on!
-
Not celebrating.
-
Cmon boys
-
Get out of jail time please.
-
About 8 mins to save a point.
-
Let's hope they shit their pants like we did.
-
Let's hope they shit their pants like we did.
They won't.

Buendia has been our MOTM. Done more in 10mins than the rest of the team put together.
-

They did against Leeds
-

He was unlucky to be dropped for the past few games, he was one of our best players before hand.
-
Brentford beating Chelsea 4-1. Fuck me!
That's ruined my bet as well, was going to be my pizza money for tonight. Worst day of my life.
-
Baddies always get decisive late goals. We won't.
-
Shock, they bring on another Portugal player.
-
How much gingery time?
-
See what they've done here? Yes that's right they've wasted another fucking 5 mins by all this play act fighting. And we've fallen for it
-
Meanwhile those Wolves wankers are doing the job of not letting us play very well.
-
If only they'd showed this much fight for the previous 93 mins
-

Precisely.
-
Fuck off you bunch of ******.
-
Fed up of this season. I enjoyed last season, this has been cack.
-
If only they'd showed this much fight for the previous 93 mins
See Gerrard's post-match excuses.
-
30 seconds of the 4 minutes given were played.. how are you gonna blow the final whistle.
-
And to the dingles, when you're not Portugal anymore, you will be Wolves again and be shit.
-
Once again a poor performance,
-
Most worrying thing for me is we already look like we've reached a plateau under this manager against every top 8 team we face.
Our record so far is very poor and we'll be playing a few more of them before the season is out.
Wolves are missing two of their best players aswell ffs.
I see a squad overhaul in the summer with a load of experienced players brought it and a 14th place finish next season.
Just feels a bit pointless to me, constantly spending 100m + every year just to produce same mediocre results when it comes to the crunch.
We just need better coaching. Wolves have played the same system for five years now and it shows when they can lose a couple of key players and yet squad players come in and know the formation.
People take the mick out of waiting for Mendes to find them players but they're not a club who spends as much as we do.
that’s the key. They’ve had the same system and one manager in that 5 years. We’ve had 3 managers and a total overhaul at the top. That leaves a mish mash of players that 3 managers have bought. Gerrard must be given time to assemble his own squad or we’ll have more of the same
