Wolves 0-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[john e]

the last few seasons Wolves have had a lot better team than us
Even Last season they were far superior

we have caught up now,
 they might have a bit stronger squad but first team 11 v 11 there’s nothing in it and i wouldn’t swap

just shows how far we came with our signings in pre season

[SamTheMouse]

Something that really pisses me off is that nearly every single foul now has to be a yellow card, Dug's first and Targetts were so soft its unreal, as was Moutinho's second.

Unless of course the fouls are committed against a certain J. Grealish, in which case you're allowed ten before the ref shows a card of any description.

Without question, they were miles better than us last season. Nice to see that isn’t the case now.

They don’t look like the side from last season, something not right at the Dingles. Long may it continue.

I've no idea why they sold Jota, he was excellent for them. Such a good player.

[Risso]

They sold Jota and Jarvis, Traore is miles off the form of last season, and Jiminez got a nasty head inury.

[Aldridge Villa]

Absolutely delighted with that. Just a shame none of us there to revel in it. Well done lads , now please don’t screw it up against Burnley.

Quick quiz - what was the last game we won on a Saturday?

Bonus point - what was the game we last won on a Saturday before that?

I just watched the replay of the penalty. First a brilliant penalty by AEG. But watch Jack. He fucking takes AEG to the corner to celebrate and goes fucking mental. Absolute love it!

Great leadership and great decision from Jack to hand the ball to Anwar.

They're still a decent team with technical players who are dangerous. Every team we beat doesn't have to be shit/not as good as they were. Brighton fans probably think that about us. We dug in today, got a bit of luck and hopefully we can turn on the style a bit at home in the next couple of games.

I'd guess they didn't have much choice, without any proof whatsoever I think if Mendes wants a player sold and some profit then he goes. I think any team in the league would miss Jiminez, the replacement looked a little raw despite hitting the post.

And Neves is struggling. They are a tired squad now and Mendes is bored because his objective to sell on as many as possible has not worked to plan.

Chuffed with the three points, would have happily taken the 0-0 after we went down to 10 men. Ref was utter w**k, seems like any type of contact now leads to a booking.

Delighted with this win, thought they would be a bit to strong for us today. Credit to us though we stuck at it even down to ten men, there really does seem a togetherness with this team and a trust in each other long may it continue

Martinez 9 - brilliant
Cash 6 - liked him going forward but found Neto (who was excellent) tough going
Targett 8 - kept Traore fairly quiet
Mings - 6 better but still a first half rick
Konza - 7.5 consistent as usual
Doug -6 thought he wasn’t as strong on 50/50 balls as usual
Jack -6.5 Saturday morning ko blues? But still an influence.
McGinn -5 poor
Traore -4 ok second half but first half was dreadful. Comically so at times
Watkins - 6 Some great ball control but not his day
Ramsey -6.5 I loved his maturity in separating some of his older team mates from Wolves players in potential spats. Impressive and played well.
Anwar - 7 for the pen of course

Mike Dean - 1 Truly awful display, most of the yellows were unnecessary, the Moutinho red was a disgrace and if I’m perfectly honest not even sure it was a pen. Somehow he seems to increase frayed tempers rather than calm them. That said, as a West Ham fan mate of mine said afterwards, at least we’re discussing human error and vanity instead of VAR.
