Wolves 2-3 West Brom: Verdict Thread

[Trips]

Yes ge should have stood more towards the middle of the goal..on that balloon throw in

No keeper would do that. You need to protect the near post

 

[Freddeno]

Shut up Fred, your entitled to your opinion but it's making you look a tit.

Naah, you can shut up yourself, you are always the tit btw

I am frustrated with Nuno in regard to a number of things, but I absolutely agree with the comments that a lot of the blame has to lie with the players.

It’s unfortunate that some of our new signings, like Semedo and RAN, appear to have the heart of peas. Both talented players - but when you look to them for a bit of fight, responsibility or reliability they are sorely lacking. We’ve gone from a tight-knit group who would fight for each other at any cost - who would throw themselves in front of anything for the cause (but actually had quality & flair to back it up), to a group of players who duck out of tackles - who dive to the floor (hi Fabio) - and who don’t seem bothered when we lose. The amount of second balls we lost today was embarrassing - it’s genuinely stuff you’re taught in school.

What on earth was Boly doing walking off laughing, smiling and fist pumping BFS when you’ve just lost against your biggest rivals and have one win in nine. How does he think that comes across to the fans?

I can already see how this thread is going - with the standard excuses being dragged out. I don’t care that I grew up watching Wolves finish season, after season in the middle of the championship. It’s irrelevant now. We are a team packed with international footballers and what’s being served up right now is no where near good enough.

The senior players need to make a u-turn in form (players like Rui, Moutinho & Coady). And the new signings need to go for a walk around the museum and get an understanding of what it means to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers and for the shirt.

There is so much wrong with us right now it’s difficult to know where to start. Nuno can work his bollocks off all week drilling “solutions” in to the team, but if the players attitudes aren’t right there’s not much he can do.

I really hope Jeff & co are backtracking right now on the “no new signings this window” line because we need something - anything - to lift us out of this slump. Our form is dreadful and we look a million miles away from putting any sort of run together.

Apologies that this is quite a negative post. I hope it doesn’t mean I’m not a fan of the club anymore.

I dont give a fuck if we finish 17th
Losing to those Cunts is not fucking acceptable

Worried about Nuno mental health at the moment he looks like he’s carrying the world on his shoulders and struggling massively with the current situation. Reality is I think he’s very home sick with not being able to see his family.

I'm all for being compassionate but can we put this constant 'poor Nuno' reference every time we have a bad performance or result to bed now

 

[The Bear]

Sorry Fred but you're having a mare here. He absolutely has to be positioned near to his post. If he's in the middle and the ball drops between the players and someone stabs it home at his near post from a tight angle then he's at fault 100%.

You always have to cover the post the ball is coming from.

Quite a few are concerned about his mental health, me included.

He didn't look good today on the sideline.

I suggested he moved one meter towards the center of the goal, covering whatever balloon header was coming out of that throw

You crack on mate, I'm done arguing this point.

Couldn’t do it mate, he has to be towards the near post. Can’t do much for the vast majority of problems from the middle of the goal.

Except you don't set up for every set-piece assuming that some weird floaty balloon header going right into your far post is going to happen.

Yeah, i wont..just made my point, no point arguing further

I wish him well, but I'm not sure what good it does to keep speculating about it. And it's only ever when we've had a poor game.

If he's having problems I hope the club are able to help, because we need a leader right now.

Ok so with a ballon throw in they will smash a volley in the near post right? Better chance saving it standing a bit more to the centre of rhe goal

People are concerned that's why.

It is a forum after all.

I am too. He hasn't looked good for a while to be fair.
Also another thing is did he take Coady off for RAN for a tactical change, or just to say no-one is immune from coming off if you are playing shit. Even the captain? I know what he said in his interview, but that is a std answer.

How would you cope in his situation? Heavy pressured job a long way from home and family no chance of seeing them in the near future in the middle of pandemic.
I doubt he’s not the only having trouble with this either.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We were losing, we were getting loads of set pieces at the other end, and we needed to take one of Boly, Saiss or Coady off to accommodate RAN (who did pretty well when he came on, crap shot aside).

Which of the three is the least of a threat from set pieces...

 

[Freddeno]

Is his family back in portugal, how often they visit normally?

 

[Sniffer]

I’ve been wobbling my head all afternoon!

When I’m not too dizzy I’ll post my verdict
