and bang

Ugh. Hate wolves.

 

[philll]

Of course the guy who shouldn't even be on the pitch scores.

 

[C0YS]

The keeper who plays a worldie vs us palms one into his net.

Not just against us. He's been suberb all season.

Newcastle deserve that

Agree but Wolves didn't...Absolutely ridiculous tactics from Newcastle, I don't understand their game this season.

To give credit to newcastle, while they do look directionless they actually can defend fairly effectively. Thing is, I think Wolves won't be up to much this season, reckon they will finish bottom half. Had a bizarre transfer window and I think it'll hurt them.

Wolves struggle a lot to attack. They've scored 5 goals this season, Newcastle have more on 7. This is a lower mid table clash as far as I'm concerned. If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Newcastle today. Though it could go either way.

Definitely agree about their attack. Jota and Doherty were both huge losses and I think that's been overlooked in a lot of quarters due to the amount of money they spent, but as you say they spend...weirdly.

That young striker they signed for 35 million hasn't played a second, Podence is skillful but looks lightweight and a shadow of Jota, while Semedo is far more of a typical fullback/winger than the unique wingback that is Doherty who linked up so well with Jiminez. It's just hard to see where the creativity comes from and I can't see anything changing soon.

I do, however, think they have a good manager and a great defence, so I think they'll still finish top half and would 100% favour them over Newcastle today given Newcastle have had like 10 shots all season or something stupid.

And there's the goal.

Only one team trying to win the game even though they were huffing and puffing a bit.

Newcastle just show no ambition whatsoever.

Darlow should be saving that. Good hit but well within the keeper’s reach.

Wolves look set to win, but I want to point out that wolves have had more or less the same shots on target as newcastle. And have scored less too. There current position more reflects the fact that they've played the bottom two, then anything more than that really. They still have two or three top top players, but I reckon they won't get close to matching their past seasons. and there are a lot of teams this season who look like they might challenge for 7th or even top 6.

Why is traore all oiled up like a body builder? Can't be sweat as he's like it when he comes on as a sub... looks like he covers his arms in baby oil... harder for defenders to grab him?!

Apparently he’s got a history of dislocating one of his shoulders and it’s an effort to stop it happening again

Darlow should be saving that. Good hit but well within the keeper’s reach.

He's not playing against us though

 

[Mr Pink]

Bruce is so lucky lol

Agree with all of that. Good post.

 

[ardiles]

[RickyVilla]

[andy00900]

[tony0379]

Draw is perfect for us

 

[philll]

Fucking hell... what an unexpected goal. I was sure it would end up outside the ground.
