Wolves 1-2 Ipswich: Verdict Thread

Seemed like the apathy has well and truly set in unfortunately. Was hoping for it to be totally toxic especially after we went behind but it all seems very reminiscent of when Mick was sacked. And again in the Championship after we appointed that c**t whose name I won't utter.
 
We look absolutely shot.

No identity, no passion, no hope

GON has got to be replaced now, we’re still going down but we may get someone in who can give us something to turn up for

Definitely. I don’t think people can be arsed to be toxic. Shi wasn’t even there by all accounts, so there’s not much point chanting calling him a wanker, you’d have had more of an impact calling Ed Sheeran one.

I'm going to go against some of the stuff on here.
I thought we played OK for much of the game. Unfortunately 2 more defensive disasters and didn't put enough of our chances away.
From the North Bank I couldn't really see what actually happened for the first Ipswich goal, looked another clusterfuck though, should Johnstone have done better?
Bellegarde skying a sitter and Larsen hitting a good chance straight at the keeper didn't help.
Thought the subs were good, Andre was a bit average for me, did the simple stuff OK but he tried 4 or 5 forward passes that all went to an Ipswich player and put us under pressure.
Doyle was pretty good imo and Guedes gave us summat different.
From just before the equaliser and especially after thought we were pushing them back and it looked like we'd take the win. Then conceding a corner in the dying minutes, we'd all knew what was coming. We're so weak mentally.
Couldn't see what went on after the whistle, it didn't look good, petulant teenager behaviour and shows how poor we are discipline wise and that comes from the top.
Were going down I'm afraid.
 
Where the hell do we start to unpick that?!

Positives:
We brought on Guedes and looked OK for 10 mins or so.
Saw Johnny75 and managed to give him an update on what's happening on TWF.
The third pint of lemon dream was delicious.

Negatives:
The other pints of lemon dream were towards the end of the barrel.
Most of the football.
Tommy Doyle deciding not to play Guedes in twice.
Jeff Shi getting away with a pretty light roasting.
Trains have been as good as watching Wolves.


Question: when we get relegated can Johnny75 come back to play as we will need to make up numbers with the tourist fans leaving?
 
Welcome to the forum André...

The simple answer is the manager didn't want another central midfielder and scapegoats you in pretty much every game he picks you.
He isnt a CM (well thats not how i see him) , and can (not at the same level) play as a CB , in playing 5 at back he could be the one giving the frist combat and some other CB as cover, that may not be the ideal but like this the defence can still be solid without losing a better passing or having a CM come back too much for the ball. Sure im being speculative but i've seeing him play like this for Fluminense, even tought the level in Brazil is inferior,he was always very safe and i dont think he has played yet for you like this
 
Not sure how I feel about this. In some ways he's throwing Fosun under the bus, in others the players. My summary is they like him, but don't respect him, someone passed Taylor off for the header, that comes from the lack of respect. He sounds broken and wanting to be sacked. Only at Wolves that wouldn't have been weeks ago and probably won't be now

Sounds like as boss you like who allows you to turn up late and applies no discipline.
They’re a nice person but not suitable for senior management.
As said all seems a bit to familiar at Compton, especially after the Fulham win and the club posting social media videos from training.
I genuinely think the players dread match day but like training as they’re shut off from the outside world.
 
We're in some weird no-man's land where everyone knows he should have been sacked weeks ago (including himself and the players) ...but he's still here. It's unnatural.

Player behaviour is getting weirder and negative patterns of play (conceding just after scoring or very late on) becoming ingrained and 'inevitable'.

He's actually doing psychological and morale damage now, regardless of whether the players like* him or not


* not sure where this 'likeable' tag has come from btw, he comes across as whiny and gormless to me?

As I said the other day, all this stuff about him being a 'nice guy', it's not a popularity contest and the players don't have to see him as their pal/drinking buddy (a figure of speech for that bloke with 20-odd posts in as many years who seemed to not realise it was not meant literally and wanted proof such as him sat in the Combermere supping Golden Glow with 'the group'), respect him rather than like him

It's a fucking shambles, get rid, some of us have been saying it for a long time and were getting vilified for it
