Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa match thread

[villadelph]

Wolves are a good team though.

I imagine everyone is now realising that was actually a youth team they put out v us in the cup.

With Targett going off we can only make one attacking change in second half now so very limited options.

Would be amazed if we get a point out of us particularly as we have a few on yellows aswell. Not good.

They are good. But we have been disgracefully poor. We’ve made it so easy for them. Agree there’s no chance we’re getting anything from this game.

Relatively speaking, I don't care how good wolves are at the moment. This effort, gameplan and execution couldn't compete against a third division side.

Wonder if we'd have gone 3-5-2 if Engels had been fit. Probably not as we didn't change formation before.

After last few weeks of promise DS has gone back to being naive today although the injuries haven't really helped.

Any team looking to stay up needs their first 11 out there most games to get results and we simply don't today. Let's hope we have them all back for Newcastle and the following games otherwise we will have a long winless run.

Wesley, Trez, El Ghazi have been terrible.

Everyone else poor. With Taylor on now, I'm worried this will be a 2nd half embarrassment.

To be fair he can’t be any worse than Targett was.

Smith has to use the one sub left and shore up the midfield.
Lansbury for Al Ghazi and go 4 4 1 some hope

441?

That's that then, 1 useless half, we need a goal, best thing Smith can do is search on Amazon see if he can get one delivered on prime, can't see anywhere else a goal is coming from.

How Wesley is a full Brazil international is one of life’s great mysteries

Have we already had a player sent off then?

[andyh]

why has this team started aimlessly whacking the ball forward?
It’s something that we seem to be doing more and more often.

[Deano's Mullet]

All them Egyptians flooding our social media raving about how Trezeguet is the greatest thing since sliced bread, you can bugger off now. Dreadful dreadful half.

[Nii Lamptey]

Taylor vs Traore.
Not sure I can put myself through this! 😬

[wince]

This is a team who have given up. Spineless performance at moment.

I don't want to be cynical, but can't help wondering how bad Targett's injury really is.

+1....I'm more than a bit cynical myself

I'd have brought Elmo in ahead of Taylor for a bit of leadership if nothing else

Concussion apparently.

I thought it was whiplash from turning his head too quickly as Traore went past him yet again.

Think you're both talking shite, tbh. Concussed players have to go off.

We would not be this poor if Jack was in. He'd be floating around their back 3, picking up space, running at them, winning free kicks and corners.

Ultimately I don't think it's too dramatic to say a bottom six standard side is going to miss one of the better creative players in this division. Particularly as our other forward players are still pretty unproven at this level.

[Goldie.7]

This team is just as bad as Southampton, Watford and Norwich. Players like El Ghazi will be the reason why we're not far from the bottom 3 all season.
