Villa vs Wolves Match thread

[Drummond]

Is it only me? Using ST free match pass, installed BT Sport app on Samsung smart TV, it hangs every 5mins (more then that in fact)  for a few seconds grrrr

Nah, that's the match.

[Dave]

Well Wolves certainly won't be hammering us.

They'll win this by the odd goal which is their default result v bottom 6 teams.

Yup. Probably 1-0, Traore crossing to Jimenez. Minute 72.

[RichardBatchelor]

Tripe all round.

[chrisw1]

The problem is there just don’t appear to be any goals in our team, so when Adama comes on and they score we’ll struggle to respond.

It's so inevitable.  How are bookies still in business when we all know this will happen?

[taylorsworkrate]

So slow and pedestrian. We are the easiest team to defend against in this league by miles

[Bobby Boy]

Listen that hasn't been awful but I really thought our front two would've offered more. The Wolves defence has scarcely been stretched.

It has been way too easy for them so far.

Even stuff really, Nayland's blunder aside. They've looked a little more menacing towards the later end of the half, but they've not created a great deal either.

I think we've wasted a good number of free kicks and have only carved on opportunity from open play. Think we need to think about the ball into the front two and try and get a runner into the gap between centre half and wing back.

I'd be thinking about McGinn for Nakamba not too long into the second half and Elmo for Konsa. The full backs forward play has been poor.

No understanding between Ally and Keinan bar one dummy.If only they had more game time before

[AV82EC]

So I haven’t watched it and assume that our new formation and tactics have caused the opposition problems and we’re unlucky to be drawing.....

Oh....

[hilts_coolerking]

They've been the better side and look much more dangerous than we do.  I thought our energy looked a bit better than it has but we do give the ball away far too much.  And then there's Nyland.  We do like making things difficult for ourselves.  Saying that, we've had one or two bright moments.

[SheffieldVillain]

Steer should be our #1. Clangers aside, Nyland always takes 2 attempts to catch a save.. any striker following up has a great chance of a tap in. Liability!

Agree with all of that. Steer has done nothing wrong. I understood Heaton being brought in to replace him, that's clearly a step-up, but Nyland is certainly no improvement on Steer.

[themossman]

They’re doing what they do, containing us easily and wearing us down.

[Ads]

Aw bless, the Dingles with electricity are obsessed with us.

[Drummond]

4 matches in 10 days. I can understand the lack of energy. It highlights our weakness in squad depth that we can't change it up.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s so annoying that we have no pace, because they’ll just wear us down, box us in and then pick us off.
