Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Chipsticks]

Oh well sod this, gonna go and watch some other cowboys on the telly ..

Only 34 posts and you've already given up, don't blame you mate

[Jon Crofts]

Happy fucking birthday McLeish, sort this out.

[CJ]

Why didn't Petrov shoot then?

[ozzjim]

Problem is, we have let Delph go, Herd is out, Makoun out on loan, Jenas not fit.


We have no midfielders, and McLeish says there is no one coming in, it is criminal.


Gabby gave Petrov no ball then, just stood behind the Wolves man. Love him, but he is awful today thus far.

[Jimsta]

It's like watching a pub league.

Changes badly needed at half-time
Baker on at LB, move Clark back to midfield, Albrighton off.
Put Cuellar on and take one of the clowns in central defence off.

Shuffling the pack hasn't worked.

"Fuck off McLeish bring in Clarke instead of Warnock". Fat lot we know about football eh.

Thats totally ridiculous Clarke has had no help at all and anyway he isn't a full-back!

[PaulWinch again]

So so fucking sloppy.

[dean saunders left boot]

Why didn't Petrov shoot then?

cos he's a muppet

I know, eh, we can't even got Clark's name right. ; )

Petrov having a mare

[eastie]

only good thing is we look like we can score again in this game but we look like we will concede everytime wolves go forward - certainly a wide open game compared to the drab offering at villa park.

"Fuck off McLeish bring in Clarke instead of Warnock". Fat lot we know about football eh.

TBH, I think our problems here are because he has got things badly wrong tactically. Our midfield of a kid and a tired Petrov are providing little impetus or support for their back four allowing Wolves midfield (which I'd say was shit) to dominate the game.

He should hook Albrighton or Keane for someone who can go in midfield.

[SamTheMouse]

Trouble is, none of our midfielders are naturally defensive-minded, with the exception of Clark who's stuck at left-back. Petrov is supposed to be our holding player, but he's more useful in the oppo box. We need a midfield dynamo!

[pauliewalnuts]

People can blather all they fucking like about "boo hoo, you just don't like the manager because he came from Small Heath", "we're a mid table side in mid table" and so on, but McLeish has got to start to win some fucking games, because anyone who thinks we're not poor enough to get into a relegation scrap is kidding themselves.

Putting together the odd 15 minute spell of playing well in games like this and many others so far this season is just nowhere near good enough.

Right now we look like a club going backwards very quickly.
