Wolves 0-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[steamer]

Great result
Not everyone was a world beater today but, Hey Ho
special mention for Martinez and Ramsey
Luiz was stupid with the second booking and not yet convinced by Trarore
Mings had a couple of moments but we won so , YEEESSS
PS the ref was an absolute Twat

[Risso]

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

Not sure selling Jarvis 8 years ago has had much impact this year tbh.

I was scratching my head there as well, I take it Docherty was the player meant.

Indeed. Please forgive my old age!

[Mister E]

Targett played excellently. It needs to be said.
I thought McGinn looked a lot better than of late, but still has a way to go before re-capturing his previous form.
Watkins gave Coady a hard time, and I'm surprised Coady didn't get booked.
I thought we might have seen Guilbert for the last 15 minutes; just in case he's called upon next week.

Unlike seemingly many others on here, I thought we played some neat football at times; yes, there's a way to go yet but we should remember we are still very much  a team in transition.

[Chris Smith]

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

To be fair they’ve Jota and Jimenez for different reasons, probably their best 2 attacking players.

So pleased with the result and a clean sheet Emi was brilliant well taken penalty by Anwar.

Good sides turns draws and ok performances into wins. We did the same away at Leicester. It's a good habit to get into. We did the opposite against West Ham.

[Mellin]

That is such a good interview from Ghazi. I want him to start next game now based on a penalty and an interview FFS!

In all seriousness, see a chance coming for him here. Would love him to take it.

He's been getting more cameo appearances of late (which suggests to me he's shown a good attitude in training) and we're coming into a bit of a hectic time so he will likely get chances.

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

Doherty is another big loss for them.

Not sure how much say they get

[Toronto Villa]

That’s what happens when you make a deal with the devil. They get some very talented players but they likely will sell them all on. Wolves is a stepping stone club for Mendes clients. But it has worked so far to get them to the upper half of the PL and I’m sure it you asked their fans 3 years ago if they’d have taken this, but with limitations on how far it might be able to go I doubt any of them would have turned it down.

I did have a little titter to myself when the commentator suggested wolves had done some scouting when it came to acquiring silva.

Me too. I doubt they’d heard of him until Jorge decided he needed to bank £7m in fees for the transfer of a teenage footballer.

The comedy there was when they said Wolves had took a punt on him at 35m :-) dodgy as that arrangement with Uncle Jorge

We never seem to have too much fluency to our play at the Custard Bowl.

It was a bit of a drab affair, which away from home is no bad thing really, but we did the fundamentals well. We defended and competed strongly, decent press out of possession. Bit sloppy at times in dangerous areas, as their main focus of attack was using their front 3 on the break.

It didn't help with the endless stoppages and bookings, which nullified a few of our players. Silly sending off for Dougie, but we kept going.

They had a couple of chances where you thought they might score; the post and Dendonker effort, but everything else was quite routine for Martinez. We didn't work their keeper enough, but they're defensively very strong and quite compact, so opportunities are hard to come by.

4 clean sheets away from home, 4 away wins, double last seasons win tally is fantastic. We are on the same points now as we were on 20 games last season.

Its going well.
