[League Cup QF] Forest 1-1 Wolves (4-3 pens): Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

Another wank decision does us over.

Off you go.

 

[YoungWolf]

Dreadful football match really. And as bad as we were we could have easily won it too.

I think they will go down though if that’s their best team.

 

[Deano]

We should have won that game before it got to penalties.

First half was mostly crap but we started to take over in the last 10 minutes of the half. In the 2nd half we were the better side and Forest didn't really do anything whatsoever. Same issue as always though, not enough goals in the team.

Hodge is a young lad and I don't want to get on his back too much but we do really need to stop bringing him on. He weakens the 11 straight away, anyone can miss a penalty but he shouldn't have been on the pitch to even have the option of taking one.

 

[malta mick]

Why ask a kid to take a do or die last spot kick. Poor management

 

[MARKakaJIM]

I don't blame Hodge there, plenty more experienced players didn't step up

Can't knock the lad for putting himself forward at all.

Either some experienced cowards alongside him or a manager who's made the wrong call.

Any cards or anything with the handbags at the end or was it just a bit of pushing and holding people back?

 

[The Bear]

How on earth you you take a players boot and shin pad off from behind, get nowhere near the ball, and it still not be a penalty?

 

[Tony Towner]

MGW has always been a bit of a prick. He used to be our prick, so I defended him. Now he's just a prick.

 

[Wolvensam]

Sounded like we picked it up a bit in the second half. Positives are the link-up play upfront looked a bit more there and good for Raul to get back on the score sheet: that will give him an awful lot of confidence,

 

[malta mick]

Hwang, Raul and Guedes should all have scored first half.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Looked best when they bad the bodies high up the pitch to put pressure on Forest's backline, unfortunately spent too much of the game not being lined to do that

 

[Alan]

Only thing I learned is that Forest can fuck all the way off back to the Championship and I won't shed a single tear.

Morgan and Henderson especially. Kind of wish Toti had just laid one right on Morgan's jaw, but ultimately glad he didn't.

 

[Wolvensam]

MGW has always been a bit of a prick. He used to be our prick, so I defended him. Now he's just a prick.

It's a bit of an odd one: he was in the press pre-match saying how Wolves had made him fall out of love with football, yet Lage (I know) was playing him, saying he was essential to the team and so forth. I'm really not sure what his problem is.

How rude. This is the guy who stormed the Championship, formed a deadly duo with Raul then got his dream move to a CL club!

Oh no, sorry that was Diogo

 

[The Bion]

Please god sign some players

 

[PuntsWolf]

Other options were Toti, Semedo, Adama. None of which you’d want near a pen. Then Jonny and Kilman. Should have been Kilman

 

[YoungWolf]

Saturday be interesting now to see how we line up in attack. Back four and midfield predictable but I really don’t know how the attack will look.

 

[Tredman]

Sad for Hodge really, but shows how many of his team mates are cowards.

Costa + Cunha

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Lop’s not without blame for this one. Poor setup from the start and changes which removed our momentum (and removed a penalty taker).
