Welcome to Wolves Vitor Pereira

Yeah, just like Nuno's classic 3-4-3 squad...

No way GoN would have got results in these last two games.

Even if we'd been 1-0, 11 Vs 10 yesterday, under GoN we'd have shit ourselves and not got the win, possibly even lost.

No way is Cunha scoring that goal under GoN either

On another note, I'm hoping VP can get something out of a calmer and more focused Lemina too for the rest of the season. Definitely still an asset at his best, even if it's mainly off the bench

 

[Stan Hullis]

I can definitely see Lemina playing well as one of the CDM's in this system.

Shout out to Doyle as well, thought he looked good when he came on and the tackle & subsequent pass for Cunha to set up the second goal was a thing of majesty.

Who knows if we'd have lost them under O'Neil, as has been said its 2 very poor teams, it's possible we could have scraped 2 wins but certainly not as comfortably.
What that would have meant was GON would have kept his job and there's no chance we could maintain a good run of points under him. Viva Vitor.

He literally said there was nothing more he could do with this group of players. Although I believe he said that to ensure the sacking, if we hadn't got rid then there's no way we'd have got anything from either game, even if the opposition played as poorly as they did.

I've been GON out for the majority of the season but that comment cemented my irritation of him him as a man.

Irrespective of the opposition in the last two games it is comical to suggest we’d have won both with GO in charge. He had won two in 26, the team had fallen to pieces and lost all belief. He should have gone after Brentford and if he had we’d be far better off. It looks like we may have acted just in time and the turnaround has been incredible. Amazing how asking players to do one job well is more effective than asking them to do two jobs at the same time. Last night Andre was imperious because he did exactly what he’s good at, no trying to charge around the pitch chasing the ball, just reading the game brilliantly and being where he needed to be and doing simple things well. It will be interesting to see Lemina when he plays again, I wouldn’t mind betting that he’ll be like the player we know he can be. I think VP coming in and doing so well will make it harder for GO to get another job as it’s inevitable prospective employers will ask themselves why the players we’ve got looked such a shambles under him. How sad, what a pity, never mind!

With GON it was definitely a case of too much information and overloading players with tactical thoughts and instructions. Hence the constant iPad and the media wanking themselves silly over him explaining it on the occasion it worked well.

Vitor has come in and seems to have a much simpler approach. Clear and simple tactical instructions and talking more about giving players confidence rather than formations/positional ideas. But not in a Dave Jones "Once you cross that white line....." hopefully.

Most young football players aren't academics or great thinkers, so it's no wonder that simpler is generally better.

The key word here is occasion, singular.

VP talking about how “in a month or so you’ll know exactly that you are watching Wolves” was very refreshing after Gary “I want them to play all the styles” O’Neil
