[FA Cup 4th Rnd] Wolves 1-0 Brighton: Verdict Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not sure who the co commentator was tonight, but enjoyed her, she pretty funny at times too.

Was "the female"* from the infamous furore during/after the Burnley game on Amazon. Fine apart from calling Hwang "Chan" 2-3 times.

Good defensively, shit offensively.
After the goal was hoping Bellegarde was going to step up but unfortunately not.
Hwang was terrible as everyone says bur I don't think it helped having him so isolated up front on his own.
I'm a bit worried about Neto, after that early long bursting run he seemed to be a bit off it, at one stage Doc made a great run in the inside right position and Neto ignored him.
At the end when Toti made that run down the left, Neto was just jogging up the middle, I really hope he hasn't got a problem, otherwise Sunday we might have to start with a front 3 of Bellegarde, Fraser and Sarabia.

Decent performance, particularly defensively.

Hwang was like a wall tonight, no way he was sharp and no way he is a no.9 we need to change that, although we have no choice now.

I thought Bellegarde was better than he's often been, great run for the goal and a couple of other good moments too, Lemina actually did really well to score what was an odd goal.

I don't agree with the criticism of Doherty, he was simply adequate for me, couple of misplaced passes which get magnified because of his rep, but its not a hill I'm going to die on.

Was impressed with Kilman and Santi, and Doyle was excellent.

Sarabia showed some real niggly, battling qualities tonight too and the increase in our general quality when he and Neto came on was so obvious.

Traore still scares the shit out of me (in terms of what appears to be clumsiness), but he was fine tonight.

Yeah, pretty much how I saw it. We were very rigid today, we sat in our 3-4-3 formation and didn't move from it which is a big change from our recent performances. You've got to say full credit to O'Neil as well because even though they had so much of the play we were so solid and disciplined that they really struggled to create chances against us.

Buenonotte / not a lot-ay was

That was Neto presuming Toti would just go to the corner and waste time

Didn't we get Coventry at home in the FA Cup QF before our very unfortunate loss to Leeds in the SF at Maine Road in 72-73?

Yes that's correct - was there in the Enclosure.

Won 2-0 with goals from Richards and Hibbitt (pen). I believe it was the last 50K+ attendance at Molineux.

 

[sycophantia]

Doc was 'ok' for the most part, got ripped apart early on but settled down after except for a few misplaced passes. One great run in on goal second half but Neto decided to go across the pitch.

Should have Geoff Hursted it. Either it goes in and game over or it flies into the South Bank and that's another 20 seconds gone.

He looked bloody rapid in that moment, he has a really strong running style.

 

[KiwiWolf61]

In all but name it's done and less than £5m too

An absolute steal at $5M.

Whether he’s a sub or a 20 game a season player he adds something to the team/squad. He is a Premier League level midfielder.

Bueno looked quick too. Won plenty of foot races tonight which surprised given the initial chat was he was slow. No issues with him starting to play more. Kilman was also very good

Was that Cunha? I thought it was Olaf from Frozen...

Buenonotte / not a lot-ay was

That kid’s vibes were fucking rancid btw

 

[sycophantia]

He's not faultless obviously but I think Toti is starting to develop nicely, quick, athletic, decent in the air. Just lately he seems to be getting forward more and looking more composed and confident on the ball.

 

[Tony Towner]

I like Toti, but he can't pass water

 

[sycophantia]

I like Toti, but he can't pass water

He was quite poor but I think there are signs lately that he's improving that side of his game imo.

 

[Alan]

He’s usually fine passing to his left, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him hit a good pass into midfield.
