I've never really paid much attention to Podence (or Wolves in general tbh) but he looked quality. Was a very good goal.

Adama, though, fuck me, what do managers see in him other than pace? He's not a footballer. He's a general purpose athlete with no actual football ability. Still.

[Risso]

He's not a footballer. He's a general purpose athlete with no actual football ability. Still.

Agreed, a sprinter/body builder who can just about trap a football. Still, beat his man more times than Bailey did.

He would be better joining the WWE.  With all that oil and muscle, would fit right in.  Adama Wolf.

First half Wolves dominated, 2nd half we did well and maybe could of snatched a win - but a fair result

Thought the Wolves number 3 who came on as sub, looked an excellent player

Ait Nouri. Left midfielder. He’s been good. He won’t be there much longer if he’s got any ambition.

He's the only player they have that I'd take if they were to go down.

I'd definitely take Neves and Neto. Excellent players.

I'd take Podence, Neves, Neto, Nunes & Colins.  Possibly Ait Nouri too.  They've got some decent players.

[Bad English]

had he scored it would have been very tough on Wolves. They deserved a point.

I agree with this. However, I would have fucking LOVED it had he buried it, thus funeralling the orange fuckers.

I would agree & add the left back who looked very decent…relying on a non functioning post injury Jimenez & 5 years over the hill Diego Carlos are the reason they are where they are…if Cunha (whose record is v average) hits the ground running they’ll pull up, if he doesn’t they can be sucked in

Podence was the one who came on last season and changed the game in their favour.
Great player

[Louzie0]

Couldn't they round it up to all 40?

Yes please, that's what I guessed in my first "Guess The Crowd" entry in yonks!

You’re top of the points for this round, eamonn!

[eamonn]

Woop woop!

Wolves are a decent side and now they have a good manager I don’t think they will be in any danger of going down

first half was awful as bad as anything churned out by previous managers
Second half a lot better but still not great to be honest, of the two goalkeepers Martinez had the most to do and I was in the end quite pleased not to lose even though we might have nicked it at the end

We are going to have to sort out the progression from defence to attack
At the moment, it’s too slow and relies on Mings and Konsa who are the two least technical players we have in team, Mings is fine defensively but he is not the ball player he thinks he is and sees far too much of the ball as if he’s a playmaker
Konsa just needs to be replaced with someone far better

Mings ball over the top was superb, but I’m more talking about playing out from the back it’s dreadfully slow, and they really haven’t got a clue what to do with it to be honest
There’s no wonder Emery is allegedly looking to bring in a centre half

A bit disappointed with the performance overall because it showed we aren’t quite as far forward as maybe we were thinking and I for one was probably getting a bit carried away,

Still very positive for the future though, we have a manager that seems to know what he wants and what he’s doing
I think there may be a few changes in the next two or three windows and we will be a totally different team from the one we saw last night

Also, just to wind up Risso and Percy I thought we missed McGinn’s energy and busyness last night in midfield, especially the first half
He is a very underrated player on this forum and it showed last night

[Nev]

I kept my gob shut about Traore until the final whistle, I'm a lot less circumspect when I see him play against anyone else but didn't want to tempt fate.

He is awful but at the latter end of his first spell the commentators were constantly eulogising about him despite the huge weight of evidence, in the form of no goals or assists, saying otherwise.

Great player

Kind of player we need I think

[chrisw1]

Didn't he draw a couple of decent saves out of Martiez the first two times he got the ball?  It was the opposite end to me so I couldn't quite tell how good the shots were, but as least he was hitting the target.

[Risso]

I agree, he's been decent of late, and if he can keep the improvement up he's a good option to have.

[The Man With A Stick]

They'll have enough to steer clear of trouble and I honestly couldn't give a toss about them, despite all the "moyind the gop" nonsense.  Only met two (?) Wolves fans in the last 40 years that I'm aware of, though I'd fully understand it if there were more and they'd just kept quiet about it.

Would much, much, much rather see Everton and West Ham get sucked into the bottom 3 than this lot.
