Bournemouth 0-1 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

I said I would still have taken a point when Bournemouth went down to 10 men, so to snatch all three Is a fabulous result. Really puts a decent gap to Ipswich going into a more favourable set of fixtures.

We played quite well on the whole, defended quite stoutly, and Bournemouth surprisingly didn't create too much of any real quality, even before the red card.

Hard to pick a MOTM as no-one really stood out. Dave Edwards is correct that Andre played really well and looked as composed as ever so he gets the nod.

Oh man that is a HUGE win.
Kudos to VP for getting this team playing like a team again

One of those where, yes, it would have been nice to have a comfortable 0-2/0-3 after they went down to 10 men, but it’s not that easy and the POINTS are everything.

We’re a one man team when it comes to goalscoring, and he’s going to take some replacing, but that’s a discussion for another day.

Couldn’t really have gone any better for us results wise today. Get in!

 

[YoungWolf]

That’s massive. And a well deserved win. So well managed throughout

I said similar about Bournemouth when Howe was in charge.

Well done Wolves. Competed with a thuggish Bournemouth side intent on bullying their opponent. So nice to see a ref who was onto their game plan and didn't allow them them dastardly plan. The sending off was probably the turning point and there can be no argument about it. The tackle was dangerous and RAN was lucky to play on after that.

Nice to be 5 pts clear of the drop zone after these fixtures and even nicer to see some players performing well. Bellegarde has taken a lot of stick but now he's looking like a player with a new lease of life. Defensively we are so much better and playing as a team. Still some shit and carelessness partic. from Toti and Doc but overall, much much better than under GON.

Bottom line... 3 pts and fuck off Bournemouth.

No, no, you’re wrong… it’s Wolves who are the anti-football, team…

That's a fantastic result and a very professional performance - a deserved 3 points.

We didn't look particularly vulnerable after they went down to 10, and I thought we controlled the game really well. Munetsi - finishing aside - definitely gives us something extra. I like him and tbh the fact he's had several really good chances in the few games he's played is a good sign. His goal will come!

Andre excellent, as was Bellegarde.

We're grafting some good results now and getting some well earned clean sheets too, and without Agba that's encouraging (I often slate him but after a dodgy start Bueno was pretty solid today)

The table looks much more healthy after the 3 below us all shipped 4 goals.

Keep the good form going, lads. Carry on like this and we'll be fine

Just massive.

Saints, Leicester and Ipswich all concede 4 and we get a very satisfying win at Bournemouth.

5 point gap and it would take a disastrous set of results to see us relegated from here.

I just wish we could get our goals from more than just one player.

I was happy when that player was Steve Bull and I’m more than happy to see it now being Cunha

Look, I don’t want to be an ass. Really, I don’t.

However, I FUCKING KNEW ABOUT JEAN ALL THIS TIME EAT IT HATERS

Vítor Pereira - thank you for giving us (at least part) of our club back.

It feels good to post again, after some personal things and have been online reading every day for the past 5 years, without logging in. Very much looking forward to getting back involved in (hopefully) healthy debates again!

I'd be far more concerned if the only chances we created were Cunha efforts from absolutely nothing. But going forward, we actually look decent.

Yes, he should have scored and yes, his finishing for us so far has been bad but Munetsi's presence and very clever runs into the box will eventually lead to goals.

We're looking a lot more dangerous than we did a few weeks back.

Would have been nice to get a few more goals but it's interesting to see Bournemouth only had one shot in the second half. Yes they were down to 10 men but even so that's good game management.

It’s the fact that he won’t be here next season that worries me.

 

[Deano]

A good win. First half was weird as it was so stop start, definitely a red. It's leg breaker.

2nd half managed the game excellently thought all of RAN, Andre and Bellegarde were very good. Thought the manager made good subs at good times protecting us in case the ref tried to even it up taking off the players on yellows.

Munetsi should have scored again, he makes some good runs but not sure about him whenever the ball is at his feet as his finishing and passing leaves a lot to be desired on evidence so far.

Massive win and results elsewhere, a nice gap and GD advantage now going into some more favourable fixtures on paper.

 

[Kenny]

Worry about that then.

For now enjoy the fact we have him and he knows how to score.

I thought Doc and Santi ended both playing very well overall, whilst also riding as close to the knife’s edge as you can get before cutting yourself.
