Wolves 2 - 3 Leeds United

[StuardoWulf]

Really? Because we sure looked $#@!e at the back before he got injured. Our only period of defensive solidity was with Williamson at CB.

Absolutely agree

I can see more shit for Edwards.
Tell me this, those of you that go to the games, when Keogh was playing it turned out that the crowd ganged up on him and from the stands by the thousands, dog's abuse was hurled at him, let alone he got booed regularly, does the much vilified Dave Edwards get ANY abuse from the crowd?

From the few games I've seen on tv it doesn't sound like it.

Or is it just on here he gets shit?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No, he doesn't get anything. Not even ironic jeers as he goes off having contributed nothing. The thing is you can never fault his effort (nor could you with Keogh, but y'know....people) and for some bizarre reason people buy into the idea of him being a goalscoring midfielder when actually his goalscoring record is dogshit.

He's the first player I'd get rid of. He isn't the worst player on our books, that's Doherty by an absolute mile, his attitude is and always has been everything you would ever want from a player, but if I had one Wolves-related wish right now and I couldn't sack the manager, it'd be for Paula to disappear so no-one is ever tempted to pick him again. Eight years he's been here and he's no good. A woeful footballer from a technical standpoint who is totally unfit for purpose where we use him, and he pulls the wool over people's eyes with pointless running and about 2 reasonable games per 15 appearances.

Wolves fans seem to try to not boo players during the game at the moment but I can assure you there is plenty of discontentment with him in conversations around the stand. He truely is a waste of a shirt from the start though he can provide energy off the bench. He needs dropping Roy, simple as that.

 

[pr0sl0]

Ebanks-Landell is starting to push Doherty for me in the "worst senior player on the books" stakes, tbh.

 

[Tony Towner]

I can't really be arsed, but the defending between the 40th and 65th minutes was the worst I have seen from a Wolves team EVER and I include the mid 80's and Saunders in that. The Batth and EEL getting in each other's way none header was pitiful. Our captain couldn't organise a piss up.....if Mike Williamson had played tonight we would have won, Yes Mike Williamson!

 

[BillyDee]

I've no idea how to get this bigger, and at this point I'm too pissed to figure it out (or care really), but FFS even before we were losing this sounds like a piss take...

 

[Alan]

How far from the first team is Aaron Hayden?

 

[Lycan]

How far from the first team is Aaron Hayden?

Far.

The last thing that back 4 needs is another child in it though. After the transfer window I'd be looking at something like this:

Iorfa Batth Williamson Hause

 

[Penk Wolf]

After Leeds started strongly, thought we played really well for 35 minutes until Evans was forced to make a change.

Had to laugh at Evans' interview, trying to take credit for a tactical change in the first half and then when then interviewer said so Adeyime didn't have a problem, he said yeah, he was struggling to breath.

 

[Paul]

There just seemed to be too much immature bravado and then fear in our back four, both EEL and Iorfa making runs that achieved nothing but caused trouble, wasn't it Iorfa that at one point was chasing their keeper down ?? Then as soon as the tide turned it was if they'd never played together before, one thing I have noticed is that we very rarely win any balls in the air, ever ?

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Absolute dross at the back. Ikeme was poorly positioned for 2 goals. Defending by Batth and EEL was at best poor at worst non-league standard. Edwards was anonymous and yet at 4-4-2 we looked no better. Byrne took his goal well and Graham looks a class act in a shit team.

This is what you get when you dont invest and trust in development only. Its no coincidence that Williamson oversaw our best defensive period. The only way we are getting out of this division with this squad, this manager and this strategy is via league one. Absolute disgrace to all who pay to watch them.

At the moment there are 3 or 4 rivaling Doherty for Worst player including Ikeme and EEL . The club is spiralling backwards at an alarming rate. The football we played in league one was streets ahead of pretty much anything we have seen at home this season. The squad is worse now than it was then particularly defensively with players who have just stagnated not improved. The blame lies with the manager and the recruitment policy/ strategy of the owner and the board. Wolves this season are getting what they deserve for their abject failure to build on the progress made from January to May. Now watch in 2016 while the remaining assets are stripped. We need a miracle to challenge with this squad and manager be it this year or next.

I am , disappointed, disillusioned, despondent, depressed , disgusted and pretty much any other negative word beginning with D you can think of

Did the anti Sky chants come across on the TV?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

As I mentioned in the matchday thread, we were playing a system that involved having 3 players behind the striker yet 2 of those players were offering very little in terms of being an attacking outlet or linking up play between midfield & attack. The plan seemed to be to give it to Graham and see what he can do. We may as well have played 4-4-2 instead and had both ALF & Afobe up there for all the good Edwards & Henry were offering in that system.

None of that should have been too much of an issue having gone a goal up early on but our defending was absolutely appalling for all 3 goals. For the 1st one, 2 of their players had time to bundle the ball back & forth to each other before having acres of space to finish. For the 2nd one, their player just strolls forward unchallenged and somehow manages to beat Ikeme with a pretty average shot. For the 3rd one, you have a static goalkeeper and a defence that is all over the place.

The fact that we lost that game shows just how poor we are at the moment.

Didn't hear them tbh.

Did the anti Sky chants come across on the TV?

At one point very quietly. You could just about make out "Thursday night, WTF". I think you got muted.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Did the anti Sky chants come across on the TV?

Yes, but I could hear what they were singing and the TV had a 5 second delay.

Someone watching on TV said Moxey was shown on his phone during the match. Presumably not ordering a Dominos?
