Gary O'Neil is proving to be a very astute and talented manager. Did a superb job in keeping Bournemouth up IMO, despite their end of season droop, and has taken a Wolves side that looked resigned to relegation under former Spain, Real Madrid and Sevilla manager Lopetegui, right up into the...
Craig Mackail-Smith had a phenomenal work rate, doesn't mean he wasn't generally pretty crap.
Joao Pedro had his worst game for us tonight IMO. Not for want of trying, it just all went wrong for him when it mattered.
Did anyone hear who got sponsors MoM? We were trying to think of anyone that was above a 5/10 today and came up with maybe Dunk, Steele (bar the late brainfart which actually worked out) or Hinshelwood as the only ones that could be arguably above that.
Fulham, Sheff U, Burnley and now Wolves have taken points home by parking the bus and playing on the counter. RDZ, for some reason, has no answer to it. Also see Everton 5-1.
I know we're missing key players but it's just bloody naive at this point.
Ho hum, must be happy because we used to...
Our home performances have been unacceptable for a while now. Every team uses the same tactic and inevitably get what they came for. So frustrating.
Sidenote: Joao Pedro has been utter shit tonight.
Game plan has totally done us. Same as so many teams have done against us. 8 at the back, wait for the ball, get it forward to the quick wingers and you'll get something.
Cunha gets a yellow, no idea why. Proceeds to go nuts at the ref and totally loses control, comes back at HT and does it again, and the ref has still bottled the second yellow. Weak, shit refereeing again.
Jesus, we really should be winning this already. Mind you, they could be winning it as well. We look very good going forward but fragile at the back, another BTTS today no doubt!
