Wolves v Villa Post Match Thread

[ChicagoLion]

I think Neto is very good. 
But he was helped today by Pau’s lack of pace. 

To be fair he regularly does that to many players.

Digne shoukd have been a lot closer to him for the cross that led to the goal.

Probably one of the most ‘un’ Unai performances since he came to us.
It’s been a long time since I saw us slow to react to situations and give the ball away so sloppily.
Ollie seemed 2 seconds behind the play, Bouba kept holding the ball longer than necessary, Torres gave the ball away a lot.

It’s a good job Wolves are shit.

Many times we just seem to lob the ball in and hope, Wolverhampton remind me of the Albion many years ago, but happy generally overall with the point

[PaulWinch again]

The boys put in a tough shift on Thursday so not losing today in a very good result coupled by getting straight back in it after  going a goal down. It will do for now.

Yeah that's how I feel.

Yep we’re not going to click every week. It’s the type of game where we just need to get something, and we did. We nearly got 3 points.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

If we continue at 2 points per game, a 76 points total would be our best season since we won the league.

Lot’s to like about this season so far, especially having played 5 away and only 3 at home.

We made Dawson look like a good defender

In all fairness he's been underrated for a long time. He had Haaland completely in his pocket last week

[Richard E]

I had a bad vibe about this game before kick off, so a point will do me, especially from a losing position.

[PaulWinch again]

That was well finished by Pau for the goal looking back.

Was going to say the same, he's decent.

How the hell was that not a penalty for the blatant push on Watkins, and why are we not going apeshit and demanding a VAR review?

Watching the replays of it at the time, I'm not sure why it wasn't given either.  Watkins was in on goal and the push from behind completely put him off balance and made the chance much more difficult.  If Watkins had not got the shot off then maybe it would have been scrutinised more by the officials.

It's one of those where he's been penalised for trying to carry on, if he flops straight to the ground it's a penalty all day long.

Having a bruising local away Derby as the 3rd game in 8 days, with a poor ref and continued fouling by the dingles I suppose we should be unhappy with a draw.

Should of killed after sending off.

Clearly Diaby not fit and we looked out of sorts at times. Showed great determination to get straight back in it.

Decent rest now for most of them

[Ian.]

Did the shove on Ollie go to VAR? I don’t remember seeing the check.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Agreed. I had to go and check to see how old he is as he's been around forever. Shocked to discover he's only 33.

[charlatan]

Ref helped him. Was getting away with pushing and pulling Watkins a fair bit.

[eamonn]

He might be a journeyman but Dawson is a wiley defender. We were linked with him heavily a couple of transfer windows ago. Would have preferred him to Carlos to be honest.
