Southampton 1-2 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

A thoroughly unconvincing performance with some dreadful passing on show, but a hell of a result in the context of where we are in the league and without Cunha.

9 points, practically speaking 10, should see us safe from here. The two below us aren't good enough to catch that up.

A great day for Larsen getting back in the goals with a very nice brace of finishes. And much needed and timely they were too. MOTM obviously. Andre was decent again too as well as Agbadou.

 

[YoungWolf]

We didn’t learn anything new. We still have a lot of shit players.

But we won. And we’re basically safe now

Lovely couple of goals for Jorgen Stranded Larsen but a tough watch in the end

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We're essentially safe and that's all that matters. We looked doomed just three months ago so full credit to Vitor for a fantastic job.

We were good today, not really. Who cares though. I find it odd that other clubs get lauded for "grinding out results" and when we do it, it's grim and I hated it and we should by rights hand the points back to the Premier League.

So much work to do in the long run. This is the here and now though. We were going down and now we aren't.

 

[Jinky]

Awful performance. Great result. Ipswich walloped. That’s all there is to say, really.

Pleased JSL got back among the goals.

VP has done an incredible job, but there are far too many Wolves fans out there who think we’re well placed now to finish mid table next year. They tend to be the ones who thought GON would have us finishing there this year. The really incredible job will need to be done ahead of the new season.

A game that showed both how far we’ve come and how far we have to go.

 

[Squeak]

All that matterered was that we won this game. We did. Nothing else to add.

You survey every single member of this forum and ask them if there's 10 senior players on our books that they never ever ever want to see in a Wolves shirt after May 2025.

You will get a 100% ratio of yes.

I've got more than 10, as it happens. Way more.

No we aren't well placed to do that, although I do think we have a manager who if backed properly could do that.

 

[BeaverWolf]

Vitor Pereira has done very well so far.

Just 9 for me....

I don’t think there are many, if any, on this forum who think that. But there are indeed plenty ‘out there’. Suspect you’ve misinterpreted my post.

The only intrigue now is if we’ll allow this manager, any manager, the squad needed to have an enjoyable season next year. It needs a significant restructure. That and the possibility we could set some kind of record for 17th place team that finishes furthest from 18th and 16th. I need to see that stats for that.

My request for the rest of the season is for @Jinky to give a different player a comedy name before kick off.

Boosted Stranded Larsen no end.

Always knew you loved Ki-Jana Hoever secretly.

 

[Alan]

Man it's crazy that we can lose and still get 3 points huh

Oh, no misinterpretation, I know what you're saying. They're the same folk who were blowing smoke up O'Neil's arse a year ago after he had a 10 week purple patch, who wanted Nuno gone and who rated Lage, who served up some of the worst football I have ever seen.

They are out there, I'm well aware of it. There are also people out there who buy Limp Bizkit records. I choose to forget they exist.

Fucking ouch, dude.

 

[Tony Towner]

We aren't very good, so I've no idea just because we are playing an even worse team people expect us to play well - it's not in us, particularly without Cunha. That said it should have been more comfortable than it was, but that again comes back to us not having good squad depth quality wise.

JSL showed what he can do with the correct service. We should spend the Summer building around those strengths

Guedes isn't on my list (it's laminated so can't change it)

Or make up an occasion when he was laughed at

 

[Mel Evo]

Weird that we can be 17th on the ides of March, 8 points from the team above, and still have the massive advantage of being able to plan for next season. An advantage I doubt we’ll use of course, but nonetheless… Should be a great position to start sorting shit out.
