Wolves 0-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Chris Smith]

All about perspective Ads. I don’t do stats unless someone shoves them my way. On what I saw today, Villa deserved a point. It was a jammy penalty, but we got the win. Happy Days!

I’m not sure how it’s a jammy penalty. McGinn surprised him by taking him on which caused him to commit the foul.

I don't see how we were jammy at all.

Yesterday was football, that’s all and it went our way. Martinez was superb as was Targett and I really liked the look of Ramsey. Think Bertie will get better over time (see also Trez and AEG 1st 6 months) and SJG looked better. Shame about Luis and Cash but couldn’t argue with those bookings despite Dean being card happy elsewhere.

Great win which over the balance of our last 2 games we deserved points wise. The fact that it came against those deluded, backward wannabes made it all the more delicious. We’ll now need to go on and make it count against Burnley and Olbiyun.

I give up- just very pleased with the 3 points

Sorry Dave read your Birmingham live post again my earlier comments weren’t warranted. Still think we were lucky today

We were 1-0 down with 10 men at Rotherham in the middle of our 10 game winning run in the championship. This was a key win on the way to promotion. How many other managers would go for it in these situations like we did yesterday again? Viva Deano.

The ball hits the post, it's not on target. That's not being jammy it's the attacker not being good enough.

Yep - amuses me when people count the woodwork as 'in  ... but not quite'!

why was the penalty jammy?
They had enough chances to win the game and didn’t.

I’m sure some of their fans fell asleep at the end of the 50’s and didn’t wake up until 3 years ago, then the children of these parents haven’t been told about how Wolves had to train in Asda’s car park.

I know its been covered before, but I have only just watched the game this morning on MOTD, it says so much for the character of the team, and its ethos,  that down to 10 men and in added time, we get a penalty. It would be so easy to close things down to keep a point. Or it may be that if they ever do draw a game they are made to do the washing-up all week...

My 2 biggest disappointments about yesterday:
1) Not being in the away end celebrating like a madman with 3,000 others.
2) Not even having 2,000 of their lot socially distanced and distanced from reality, crying salty tears for the cameras.

That was a superb ground out performance from the boys. Mike Dean wanted to be the centre of attention as ever and at least two of the bookings were unwarranted. Martinez has to be our best keeper in a long time. It boggles my mind to think why Arsenal sold him? Jack had a quiet game by his standards but still did enough to rattle the dingles a few times. Also a big shout out to Matt Targett. I've been his biggest critic but he made me eat my words yesterday. He was excellent and also brave which is something else I've accused him of not being. All in all a great victory in the circumstances. Jammy? I don't think so. A well deserved victory and once again var showed how wildly inconsistent they are with it. That was a nailed on pen for handball 99 times out of 100 these days.

Both penalty decisions were correct.

[Malandro]

Another great away result.

Probably strange to say, but I actually like watching Wolves, they have quality throughout their squad.

[Mouse Potato]

Both penalty decisions were correct.

I don’t think the first one was correct, i think it was a pen. He leans across to head the ball but it misses his head and hits his arm. If you going to do that, you have to ensure you make contact with your head.
