Tough old game, football.

Albania had counters and screwed them up, can’t complain.

Should have been 3-0 up at HT

 

[jd1981]

Again it’s just decision making that’s the big difference a complete balls up of the an Albanian counter attack 1 minute before the equaliser.

 

[Jack Regan]

Get in!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

2-2. Deserved it over the course of the game.

 

[jd1981]

Brilliant stuff and deserved

 

[Alan]

Wooooooooooo underdogs

 

[jd1981]

Again defences have been dreadful

 

[Alan]

It’s peak football regardless. Breathtaking stuff.

 

[jd1981]

Absolute madness but thoroughly entertaining

 

[jd1981]

Probably going to say it everyday but that was probably the best game so far

 

[Tony Towner]

Bolla into the starting 11

 

[sycophantia]

I've seen nothing of Bolla while a Wolves player, but on the first 20 minutes against Germany he looks quite a bit better than Doc.
I think that's a foul.

 

[Jack Regan]

Defender steps into Gundogan if anything and then just bounces off him.

Probably gets given as a foul the other end though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've seen nothing of Bolla while a Wolves player, but on the first 20 minutes against Germany he looks quite a bit better than Doc.

He is, I mean Doherty has never, ever, ever been able to defend at any level (he was awful at it in League One 11 years ago) and also now has no athleticism whatsoever so he contributes very little going forward. Bolla doesn't look anything special but he doesn't have to be, you could easily see him being a serviceable, cheap back up option.

Strange one all round.

 

[Tony Towner]

Pure guess on my behalf, but we never showed any interest in giving him a chance so I assume at some point he refused to sign another contract, just to be sold or loaned out again. Got booked at Molineux as a Wolves player, without ever actually playing for Wolves which makes a good trivia question

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I agree, but why not give him that chance 12 months ago when he was our player and we were apparently skint and couldn't afford anyone until we sold Nunes.

Rather than handing a 3 year deal to a fat, old free agent.

 

[Tony Towner]

Because he's shit at golf?

Maybe he didn't want to stay at Wolves?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

A year ago? Well if that's the case then sell him.

I can completely understand him leaving of his own free will when he doesn't have to sign a new contract if he doesn't want to.
