Wolves v Pups Post-Match Thread

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

When did Wolves get good?

They've luckily picked a (seemingly) good manager - it happens for teams every now and then.

They're clearly the best team I've seen this season, and probably an anomaly for the league. They play like that all the time they'll cruise the league.

We're miles behind them. But we're way beyond many others.

Put it behind us and move on to all the other teams we should be beating.

Best team won, Hutton our best player tonight. We go again.

He's our only player with any pace

I thought it was clear he was a big weakness. They looked to go down his side a lot. Not a left back. Not a first 11 member.

Hilarious!

Our free kicks and corners tonight were diabolical.

I asked earlier, when was the last time we scored from a corner? Even Pullis and MON can/could manage to make them work.

You were watching tonights game, right? Wolves against Villa?

Hutton was our best player, by far. I hate to think what the score would have been if he hadn't been on top form.

Watching a bit of the PL it just becomes so depressing as to how far we are away from that level. I’m not even talking Man City, but even mid table stuff. Bruce is what Bruce is. He’s a coward and unnecessarily displays an inferiority complex when it comes to big games as a manager. Certainly with us. He waves a white flag in how he sent us out to play. Not build off our recent good form and confidence. He played into their hands and we lost. Inevitably. It’s utterly pathetic.

I'm no big fan of Hutton but he was our best player by a mile today. Albert and him appeared to be the only players trying to track the Wolves runners.

makes me laugh when I see Calderwood explaining  to Hogan what to do on his piece of paper

what does it say

three kebabs with chilli sauce for the boss , chips and two litres of Dr Pepper
chicken nuggets and onion rings  for me
and a strawberry milkshake for Stephen.


clowns all of them.

We let Wolves play second half. First they were completely clueless in the same way a lot of sides down her are very good at retaining the ball and going nowhere.

The performance deopped off hugely second half and the amount of time and space we gave them was criminal.

Anybody, even Ashley Westwood, is going to look a world beater if you gift him 20 yards of space at a time.

It should have been 4141 or 433 to keep a triangle of three centrally. Too flat, over run and got what we deserved.

I thought they were too cautious first half but you could see that they had the quality to give us problems.  Once they realised we weren't going to lay a glove on them they committed forward much quicker and blitzed us.

They just have a better manager. Time to make the right decision Tone.

Yes..lets sack a manager after his first defeat in 9 games.

I'm with you Wirral. We were simply beaten by a better team, at their place too. Let's untwist those knickers.

You're probably right. It's just fate that Wolves are another team on the list who have sailed effortlessly past us in terms of competence and quality.

I mean there's no way a mere football manager could try and set up a massively expensive team to do something about that.

We should just accept our lot.

[QuintonVilla]

Have to say the dingles in the South Bank create a decent atmosphere, they all stand all game and get behind their team. That was a million times better than the atmosphere at VP. Amazing what happens when you're watching a team who play good football and want to win with decent style. Take note Bruce.

[Steve67]

I agree Dave, Wolves were just better. We have to accept it and hope our bubble hasn't popped. Some tough games coming up, more tests ahead and we have to be better than we were today.  That said, I can't see us playing too many better sides than Wolves.

[paul_e]

Just watched the post match comments, have to say I'm bit surprised that wasn't "the worst we've played since I got here".

Was thinking that reading some of these posts Dave.  In less than a decade we've gone from being told that we should accept that we can't compete with the top few teams in the country, to not being able to compete with the likes Swansea and Southampton and now its teams like Wolves in the 2nd tier.
