Wolves 0-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[LukeJames]

Patricio is a great keeper tbf, he's a cock for wearing number 11 though.

Also I wouldn't swap Martinez for any other keeper in the League

Wolves are cocks. They had a season last year where they picked up almost 0 injuries. Although I wish Jimenez all the best in his recovery, I couldn't give a fuck for them that he's out, that's what squads are for. No one gave it any consideration when we had our keeper, centre mid and striker out and had to play with a winger up top. It's tough shit. If they're so good they should be able to cope with 1 injury.

Titty babbies.

I think the Wolves are one of the dullest sides in the league. They were last season with a goal scorer and they're even more tedious to watch this.

Thought Neto was superb yesterday. 20 years old and a player of huge potential. I guess he has effectively replaced Jota and Semedo has replaced Doherty from last season.

Traore threatened but didn't deliver much. They owned midfield in the second half and Semedo did a good job on Grealish too. Missing Jimenez but they created enough chances to win by a couple of goals let's be honest. Mourinho still a canny operator in midfield. They are a decent side and a win at their place is an excellent result. 

It was a very good win, as only Man City had beaten them at home previously. But that's a separate point.

They set up to hit us on the break at home. Nothing wrong with that per se, but they're all about safety first. Just 2 goals conceded outside their defeats to us and Man City and the trade off being just 11 goals scored in 12 games. Zzzzzz. They're a dull, safety first, risk averse side.

I'm not so sure that's fair Ads, it's just that their way of playing was a lot more effective last season.  Jota is a big loss for them, as is Jiminez now he's out.  Doherty was a big part of the way they play as well, and Traore has gone back to being shit.  Part of it is that that unlike us, they're not big enough to hold onto their best players when other clubs come calling.

It’s a big mustard coloured Portuguese player farm.

If you read some of the dog head comments on MM they are getting tired with Nuno, the spoilt fucks. Because of what in part Ads is pointing. But you’re right they are also without some very talented players from last season.

[Exeter 77]

Only realised late last night that this win took us to 18 points after 10 games. A point more than we managed in the whole of the 2015/16 season.

[Richard]

It also took us 19 games to get to 18 points last season so we we are well ahead.

[Scovilla]

And at least three teems with 10 points fewer than us.
And we have 2 games in hand. So definetely better than last year.

[Legion]

Agreed, but we have one out on loan at the moment.

How’s he getting on?

Sorry for the delay in replying. He's doing well and gaining invaluable experience. He is popular with their fans. Had a few starts and appearances as sub. Scored a couple of goals. All looking good. Back at the Villa in January.

[Exeter 77]

Does that mean his loan won't  be extended there?

[Legion]

Does that mean his loan won't  be extended there?

Possibly, but nothing has been decided yet. I think the options would be extending the loan, another loan out at a League 1 or 2 club or (hopefully) reintegration with the first team squad.

[They owned midfield in the second half ... they created enough chances to win by a couple of goals let's be honest.

I think this is plain wrong.
They didn't 'own' midfield and - whilst they created a couple of good chances - they didn't take them. We also created chances in the second half: Luiz, McGinn and Watkins all had good goalscoring chances.

[TonyD]

I’d like to see Barry on the bench soon. 

[LukeJames]

I like to go onto other teams forums after we've won and have a read, the general consesus this season is that we are a horribly niggly team. For years we have been a bit of a pushover, I love teams now looking at us in this way.
