Wolves v Pups Post-Match Thread

[myf]

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.

Biggest crowd since 81 and a comfortable win under the lights  against a local rival to go top of the table.

Didn't know the result,  just saw the highlights, fucking destroyed by Wolves.  Bruce will be found out by the end of the month and it'll all be too late.  UTV.

Exactly.

When we lose to Small Heath in a couple of weeks he'll be back to square one and everyone will want him out again. You can guarantee he'll adopt the same tactics there; keep it tight and terrified of losing. Then if we go 1-0 down we're fecked.

Can you give me the scorers so I can retire off a big bet please.

Vassell. He can run quite fast so he will cause us problems. We've got zero pace in our side, at the back or going forward. The pace of Wolves' attacks compared to ours today was a stark contrast.

Bruce - the new Lambert. Seamless transition to hope then hell.
Get rid.

[Skerra]

Really hope I'm wrong but, can see us getting a draw against Fulham followed by 2 defeats and back to square one.
Get Onomah in place of Whelan and push Hourihane up to where he prefers to play and gives his best performances.
We keep trying this going for a 0-0 but just doesn't work. The few games when we have been on the front foot has easily seen our best performances and, gives the fans something to get excited about. Today, even when there was space in front of our midfielders, they always looked to make a back pass. It's the easy option because most of the players seem frightened to try something different.
While I'm at it, hope we lose the toss next week as then there's a better chance we will kick towards the Holte in the second half!!

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.

We scored loads from them last season. Chester notched a couple, Gabby v SHA.

To me it's one of the areas you can say Bruce has legitimately improved us in.

Last season? And this season?

I must be missing something. I'm struggling to see even an attempt on goal from our corners and free kicks. It's standard practice the ball gets headed away, not even reaching a Villa player.

I'd love to see the stats on number of corners/free kicks around the box we've had and nothing happens. I'm surprised Terry and Chester even bothers going up for them now.

We hit the bar from one tonight.

Yeah this season it just hasn't happened (odd as Snodgrass has been good on corners throughout his career and Terry has scored many goals throughout his career from them) but we did score a fair amount last season which was the first time in years we've look a major threat.

Did we score that many, 3 for chester and 1 for Baker were from corners and then the 2 against blues were both from set pieces but I can't remember many more than that.

It was still as many as we managed in about 4 seasons in the premier league. We barely threatened at them for years after the MON era when we were very strong at them.

People know the managers we need to appoint if you want to see us regularly score from them anyway.....

Again, I'm not sure that's true.  We've not scored many goals for years but 4-6 from corners and a couple from free kicks have been fairly standard.  I can think of 4-5 from the relegation season, and that didn't feel massively different to any point post MON.  I don't know of a simple way to gather up all the stats for it but I really wouldn't be surprised if last season was no different to any season in the last 7-8.
