Having the misfortune to live in Wolverhampton, Just fuck off.

Feel for you Luke. Those last 10 minute + injury time and final whistle were not comfortable watching the fuckers going mental.

Fuck..I sympathise with you.

Yes and today made it a lot worse, I think the mustard 4 fingered orcs enjoyed their day at Villa Park.

My only tiny bit of salvation, is that my best mate left when they were 2-0 down.

Dean Smith’s excuses were fucking astonishingly stupid.

He said it was a failure of game management. By the players.

4 pints of San Mig hasn’t numbed the pain. Still utterly bewildered .

For 80 mins we were sloppy & they were worse. We were fortunate to be 2 up. Once they scored we went to pieces. We just didn't deal with the second ball in that final 15 mins & failed to clear the ball.

With 5 at the back & no wingers we lack fluidity & ability to get the ball forward. Full backs aren't good enough to be wing backs. Ings & Watkins isn't working.

There's not much wrong that wouldn't be fixed with Bailey & a formation change. I think Dean will be starting to worry, it won't take much for people to turn on him.

[itmustbe_it is!]

For me this is on the players not the manager.

People criticising the formation but we were 2-0 up and cruising.

Substitutiions : Luis off for Nakamba - plenty of times on here Smith been caned for leaving tired players on the pitch.
Buendia for Ramsey - aim was to shore it up at 2-0. If he hadn't done this people would have asked why he didnt. Personally I'd have left Buendia on but this sub isn't why the defence fell apart in the last 10 minutes.
Cash off - he was injured. Yes he could have put Hause on but plenty of comments after the last game he played that he should never play again at this level. Major revisionism at work.

We had enough warnings when we tried to play out from our own box and gave the ball away. Piss poor defending from the set pieces cost us - thats not a management issue, thats the players - including one England international and one who many people think should be.

Ramsey fouling Traore on the edge of the box at the end was blind panic - but the foul should have been made 20 yards further back, by players that should have known to do that.

For me this is on the players and they need to take a long look at themselves.

Agree with this

exactly how I saw it.
We have some tricky fixtures starting at Arsenal, lose that and Smith will be under a lot of pressure.

I'd have sacked Smith out of blind fury for that if I'd have been NSWE. A totally shambolic and disjointed affair entirely of his creation.

Beyond unacceptable.

I've said this before, you're a poster I generally consider balanced and reasoned. For that reason, I'd be interested to hear which of Smith's decisions you were unhappy with at the time he made them?

[AV82EC]

As pissed off as I am, I’d say that I thought we looked pretty comfortable until Doug and Emi had to come off, Traore aside they’d looked utterly toothless. To then not see the game out is majorly on the players in my view. My only criticism of Dean was Young coming on and not Hause.

Overall 3-5-2 just isn’t doing it for me, and as the system means wingbacks are vitally important I don’t think Targett is good enough though Cash shows promise.

Oh well, we go again…..

The decision to persist with Tuanzebe, despite him being Wolves most creative outlet from open play.

The decision to persist with Mings, despite him being atrocious at Spurs and equally as dead between the ears today. I feel for Hause.

The decision to make a sub before a corner, given our spectacularly ameutrish defending at the 2nd phase from a set piece 5 minutes before.

The decision to persist with a stifling 532 at home to rank mid table garbage.

[Villafirst]

We still haven't fielded a full-strength team some 2 plus months into the season. These f*****g injuries and International breaks are doing my head in. We need Bailey fit asap. Mind you, we were sloppy with our ball control and poor passing on too many occasions today. You simply can't do that at this top level without getting punished.
