Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace verdict thread

[slink]

It's not about the opposition right now. There's nothing about us that suggests we can get points against anyone in this league. No quality and calamitous defending but more importantly no leadership, no fight, no belief and no bravery.

I fucking hate this group of players. I think Slink posted the other day about giving them support under Edwards and maybe something special could happen. I'm sorry but there's not one player in our squad at the moment who deserves anything other than an absolute hammering from the fans. A group of gutless cowards. I'm going to all of the next 5 games (haven't decided on Liverpool and United yet), I fully expect us to lose every single one of them. There was a small showing of support for Edwards yesterday which spared the players from what should've been a barrage of abuse in response to another pathetic performance but it will turn quickly, maybe even as early as next Sunday and I'll be right behind it.

I was talking to the owner of Cafe Rosa* on Litchfield St before the game yesterday and she's really worried about her business next season if attendances drop. There will be businesses all over the City worrying about the same thing. The ticket prices are extortionate and the fans have been treated like shit. It's been years with very little to celebrate.

I've said for a few years that relegation has been coming, I don't actually blame this shoddily assembled squad for getting relegated really. That's on Jeff Shi and nobody else. The way that they've completely capitulated this season has been a fucking disgrace though. They don't deserve our support. A fleet of hopeless, spineless, weasel cunts the fucking lot of them.

I think we have to try over the next 4-5 games no matter what you think of them because something could happen. It won’t but it could. It’s not about them for me it’s about Wolves. After those games when we are completely cut adrift then i think it’s fair game but i still want Fosun to be getting the majority of the stick.

On the wider point of Wolves still being in the game upto the first goal, as others have alluded to that just isn't the case.

The team talk that opposition managers/coaches will give when approaching Wolves will be really straightforward.

It'll go along the lines that they've already got at least a point from the game as Wolves are so goalshy that this will be the easiest game for the defense and goalkeeper. From there they'll say that although we've already got a point then the three are there for the taking as that Wolves defense and goalkeeper(s) are a total shambles.

Wolves pose as much danger to opposition as a plant pot...

Correct. As a coach you'll be saying to "get at" Wolves from the first whistle. Home or away. No need to "quieten the crowd", "keep it goalless for the first 15 minutes", or any of those other cliches.

Press them, score first, coast to the win, collect your bonus. You won't have an easier game all season.
