Wolves 2-3 West Ham: Verdict Thread

[MARKakaJIM]

He uses the ball no worse than any of the other options in his position. No slower than Coady, or Neves for that matter.

He's never going to be anything special but if he's content to sit on the bench for most of the season he's perfectly adequate as cover.

You're very dramatic aren't you ?

I have been following Wolves for too long Paul, but i aint giving up now. I still celebrate a Wolves goal now like the first one i ever saw.

 

[Paul]

I've got no doubt mate but if these defenders kept you up then the likes of Shackell, Johnson, Halford, Luzhny, Gorkss, Hill must have given you insomnia

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Hill! Hill shouldn't be in that bracket should he?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Matt Hill was appalling.

Yes, i was prescribed sleeping tablets. Oh for the likes of Frankie Munro and Joeleon Lescott.

Matt Hill was appalling.

He wasn't that bad, and certainly not in the Gorks or Halford bracket.

In fact weren't his stats really good in terms of wins per game?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Don't start the Matt Hill PPG trope

He was truly dreadful. Could barely kick the ball.

 

[AndyWolves]

Matt hills FL debut was also the game David Connelly bagged 4

I still think our issues begin with how awfully we seem to vacate midfield in defensive transitions. No back four can hold up for 90 minutes when they are getting left on an island each and every time we lose possession.

 

[Tony Towner]

Interesting that Spiers says we planned to go 343 before the Boly and Jonny situations. From that I guess you can infer Nuno didn't trust either a 3 of Saiss Coady Kilman or a midfield 2 of Neves + anyone other than Donck

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

And that may also explain why we looked so ill prepared too.

Without a doubt. The fact Podence only played 45 also suggests it probably wasn't his immediate plan considering his injury issues too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Podence wouldn't have played, he doesn't trust Kilman any more (if he ever did). That's the long and the short of it.

 

[Tredman]

Bit worrying that he trust a back 2 of Saiss & Coady more than a back 3 of Saiss, Coady & Kilman/Donk/Hoever.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't really trust Kilman in a League One team, he's not very good.

Could be the other way. He doesn't trust a midfield 2 which doesn't include Neves, Moutinho or Donck

Guess so, thats rather depressing as I think neither Moutinho or Donk will / should be there longer term

I still don't think it would have been defensively worse than what we saw.

Swap Podence for Kilman and we'd have been way more solid.

This just doesn't compute for me.

I could see us planning to go 4231 WITH Jonny and Boly playing and then revert to 3 ATB after knowing about the injuries. The other way round just doesn't make sense to me
