Wolves v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

Agree KRS about Wesley. What I’ve seen so far tells me he is an incredibly, bizarrely limited striker, but can be a handful if you set up to play to his strengths.

He is the wrong player for smith’s tactics and is let down every game by the ineffectiveness of trezeguet and el ghazi. Yet he is our only option so can’t be dropped. It’s the kind of self destructive dumb as shit stuff I thought we’d left behind and it is 100% not Wesley’s fault.

No excuses after that.  Wolves wanted it more and that's unforgivable in a derby.

Easily the worst we've played since Wigan in January.  Big two weeks ahead, and let's have some clarity over Jack's injury please - no more of this "will he wont he" crap please Dean.

Theres going to be some limbless babies born in Wolverhampton in August on the back of this.

Imagine the shite SB would have got for performances like today, can see him coming and getting a result then we're really in the shit.

Feel sorry for Wesley.

I think we are missing a genuine striker option to give him a chance to have a rest out - can’t imagine it is easy coming over to a foreign league facing quality defenders week in week out.

. Kodjia is a busted flush and not sure Davies is a decent enough option (if he was fit).

[Legion]

Abject.

Wesley's best contribution was beating his man at the near post to get in a position to score an equaliser.

His worst contribution was missing the sodding ball having done so 🙁

We really look a level or two down and lack creativity every time Jack is out.

First half utter shite but I thought we did ok second half and might have sneaked a point if we hadn't gifted them a second.

We have a powder puff front three who don't work hard enough.  Trezeguet might have scored again but for me both him and AEG are a largely waste of space.  At least the latter occasionally looks brilliant.

For those slagging Targett, he got no help at all up against one of the fastest and trickiest wingers around - Nuno has made a player of him.   Replacement Taylor was his usual utterly useless self going forward as well a giving the ball away cheaply to set up the breakaway for the second goal and again later giving them another chance.   

Unlucky with injuries but then it reveals the strength of the squad, which, £130m spent,  is not really good enough.  Two decent hard-working forwards (Snodgrass, Grabban types) needed in January if we are not to get sucked in to the bottom 3.

Luiz's "challenge" on Traore was a joke.

I don’t think you can play without a Centre forward.

It's time to start holding Dean Smith accountable. I'm not saying sack the man, but for god sakes can we build and progress as a football club?

Indeed.  Since he became manager it's all turned to shit hasn't it?

[LukeJames]

Beat us when we have Grealish and they will have my respect, beat us when we have our reserves out? Ok then 👌👌

[Flamingo Lane]

Theres going to be some limbless babies born in Wolverhampton in August on the back of this.

Nice.

The stupid decision not to get another striker is coming home to roost. But, ffs our players are so injury prone. It'll be a struggle to stay in this League but I think we'll scrape 16th or 17th place, just.

So we haven't progressed at all since drawing at home to Preston in front of 27k and one of our own fans throwing something at the manager?

[Risso]

Our front three are woeful. An embarrassment at this level. They all need replacing wholesale in January.
