[Albion] Positives from Tonight (Wolves)

[Sheebo]

Get one or two of these a season. Frustrating and bodies defending narrow behind the ball. We still got a point - forget it and move on.

We actually have been spoilt in recent seasons remember!

 

[fly high]

But were there enough pies?

Ran out of steak pies, had to make do with chicken, just not good enough.

 

[Stat Brother]

I 'green lighted' all the way home.
From central Brighton to very west Sussex in 47 minutes.


What a result.

Made my drop off in Worthing at 10:31 which I think is a record for an evening game.

More relevantly: Fortress Amex is back...

1. We've gone nine Premier League games in a row without a defeat
2. We've gone 10 games in all competitions without a defeat

 

[pasty]

We won’t have to watch it on tv!

Just got home. First thing I did was delete the recording of the match.

 

[Silverhatch]

No injuries.

Er? Gross looked in real bother and Perv was holding his groin…

 

[The Grockle]

Showed again we can grind out a point against a form team, 2nd best for most of it but still could have nicked a win.

Completely disagree. Wolves came for 0-0 on 75 mins then try to win it. Almost worked.
What was a little concerning was that all our subs seemed to actually weaken us.

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Looked up to see where Jenas' favourite goalkeeper Luke Steele is these days - player-manager at Peterborough Sports

 

[Acker79]

Not a good performance and a rather frustrating night. A few positives:

- another clean sheet
- a point which is the most we deserved. On another day we lose that as they had the best chances by far
- Steele did well
- Lamptey back
- One game closer to getting some players back. We desperately need some real width.

If you can’t win don’t lose I suppose.

I'd say Buonanotte's header on the goal line was the best chance either side had, but even if you don't think it was, it was good enough a chance that it stops their's being the best 'by far'.

 

[Weststander]

One of those rare games when even our captain started to get on my tits, it was sooooooo slooooooow at times going across the back line and Steele.
Yet ANOTHER two points dropped at home.
There was no variation at all. I think we tried to go down the right about twice in the entire 2nd half. What was the point of bringing Lamptey on?

There were also several instances of both Dunk and JPVH being caught out near the dugouts, allowing Wolves to home in on goal. What was all that about? Why zero CB’s in position?

Can only think that Gary O’Neil outfoxed us with some traps?

 

[Jeremiah]

It was exactly the sort of lacklustre , shot shy , nervy home performance we reserve for Palace , so surely we can't have two on the trot ?

Cote D'Ivoire dumped out of the Africa Cup Of Nations, so Adingra will be available for selection from the weekend.
RDZ didn't pick up yet another yellow card, after the benches had a coming together
Confirmation that Webster is not a left back

 

[Hugo Rune]

Palace will pay for tonight’s insult!

 

[Easy 10]

The one positive is that we didn't lose - which we easily could've, given that 2nd half performance. Once Perv went off for Webster, we were in ALL KINDS of trouble down our left. Take the point and move on.

Oh, and pleasing to see Lamptey get half an hour in his legs, even if the whole team basically ignored him.

They still have a chance of going through. Check the AFCON thread.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

We won’t come up against Neto again this season.

He's got some bloody incredible pace on him, hasn't he!

Well that's ruined my evening

Imho Wolves dominated the second half, they should’ve scored after ten seconds, they displayed composure, speed of thought, incisiveness.

Positives?
