Brighton 2-2 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[Jinky]

We equalised from being in this position. Gaz gets no credit for the result.

Well Brighton's second goal is his fault. Appalling play.

He wasn't very good tbh and I'm someone who's been calling for his inclusion. Sarabia was way more of an influence.

It was but plenty of people made dreadful passes gifting Brighton an attack.

Until GON says why he hooked him we won't know for sure.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That one, yes.

I think that's really odd mate.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We have scored more goals than 10 teams in this league now.

Strange.

The smug superfan energy on the socials is making me sick. Fucking simpletons

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

The "that's shut the moaners up" type nonsense, Facebook groups especially have gone nuts with it

Strange.

We've always scored goals under O'Neil. Only 10 blanks in league and cup (56 games I think).

Now count the clean sheets.

Won’t take long

As I mentioned in the match thread. Scored in every game except the opener at The Emirates. It's the defence that's killing us.

Ha.

Yeah, missing the point somewhat.

And it definitely won't shut the moaners up

I think forbes went because he was basically just recieving the bsll on the touchline, and knocking square pass inside or backwards.
When he came on he took on the fullback, but after ten mins played safe.

Immediately after the restart he had a good run but his final ball was poor. After that, he stopped doing what he was brought on for and resorted to the safety first method of passing it backwards. Add that to the second goal mistake and you can see why GON took him off right at the end. We couldn't afford another mistake.

Also, interested in your thoughts about Lemina being taken off. We've asked for GON to make the big call and he did today. Surely he deserves some credit for that decision?

Plus he probably knew Rodrigo Gomes had played wing back in the past so was more likely to offer a bit more defensive protection. It was only for 1 minute of added on time so I doubt it made much difference to anything.

It was a coin flip between him and Joao at HT, neither of them were playing well. Doyle was at least looking to get on the ball and play.

So well done for making the change for sure, but he should know that setting up that way to start with is crazy - especially when literally 24 hours earlier, he'd said how playing a back five with a low block was a bad idea against most teams then did it anyway.

Hold on.. you using a still image to make your point? #ProvesNothing

Regardless of my thoughts on GO...he still has the players.

I've watched way to many Wolves teams over the years who have thrown the boss under the bus and this lot haven't.

1.11 vs 1.15

First time we've out xG'ed someone in ages I think. Plus more shots on target too. Doesn't happen too often away at Brighton.

Toti's 5th yellow of the season by my count so he'll be suspended for Palace. Just as well as Bueno and Dawson should be the partnership.

RAN joins Semedo and J.Gomes on 4 yellows and 1 away from a suspension.

Toti - thought his distribution today was awful. Too often makes the wrong decision.
