Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Crap performance that. One of the most negative 2nd halves i've seen, camp in our own area and smash it, when it was plainly obvious Wolves were going to equalise. Our posession of the ball is diabolical aswell, we struggle to string 3 passes together to relieve a bit of pressure.

Comedy genius.

Did your stream die ? You do know we won don't you?

It seems he didn't see the first half either.

I'm not sayng it wasn't a good result, but that 2nd half performance was diabolical and incredibly negative. Camping in our own half and hanging on against Wolves? Fair enough if it was Man Utd away.

That's right, because if it's anyone except Man Utd or Chelsea all we should have to do is turn up to win.

Not many teams will got much from Wolves this season.Yes we were up against it in the second half but it was nice to see us not capitulate as usual and go on to win the game.Yes there's things to be done but that can't happen overnight but were going in the right direction with the right man in charge

Sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition.  Wolves had a right go 2nd half and pinned us back - it's the way football matches go sometimes!

Under MON we'd have drawn that game; under KMac we'd have lost it.

We let them, straight from kick off we retreated to the edge of our box and said 'break us down', when it was plainly obvious they would score. We looked alright going forward first half yet second half we didn't string three passes together until our goal.

Two games, two wins. Heskey and Young on fire, 5th place,things are looking up.

Agree.
It was going very much like last seasons game, till Heskey's piledriving header.

Going away to any PL side will mean them having a period of superiority.  It even happens to the likes of Man U and Chelsea at 'lesser' sides sometimes.  Wolves were ALWAYS going to have a period of being on top and if you can't accept that then you should stop watching football because that's simply the way it is!

That's a snappy line but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. We've had a great away record over the past couple of seasons, full of games where we've won when we've spend large parts of it defending. I know that it's hard for the revisionists to take but it was a very MON like performance.

I don't think it's revisionism to point out that we drew the corresponding game against Wolves last season, after taking the lead.  The fact that we DID draw the game under O'Neill last season means it does stand up to scrutiny.

Ah I see, so we're only talking about games againts the Wolves, not trying to make any sort of wider point. With you now. Although as MacDonald didn't play any games against them I'm not sure why his name was mentioned.

Even MON's biggest critics would have to conceded that our away record, in terms of results, was extremely good.
