[Albion] Positives from Tonight (Wolves)

[CaptainDaveUK]

To be fair to Wolves, they are on a good run. Positives we didn’t lose. One game closer to Adingra and Mitoma back. Lamptey and Boaty got some game time. UTA.

Ivory Coast are out of the AFCON, so Ardringa should be back by Saturday.

They're not out (yet), and the fact they threw Adingra on for the last 7 minutes out of desperation, doesn't mean he's actually fit!

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Wolverhampton should be ashamed of themselves. They just came to spoil, constantly in the referees ear. Never made any effort to mount meaningful attacks. The sort of team that should be banished back to the Championship where they belong. My Villa supporting relative was right about them all along.

I agree, but that’s not a positive from last night!

It is 'Adingra'

The fact they threw him on for the last 7 minutes out of desperation, doesn't mean he's actually fit.

…but apart from that, excellent post?

Strange night.

Even ahead of the game, ie on here etc, it all felt a bit flat - no real excitement for what was, incredibly, our first home fixture of 2024, and the first time at the Amex since the scintillating Spurs game. That vibe continued to the Amex itself - there was no real buzz at all.

3rd week of Jan has to be the flattest week of the year just generally, then throw in a miserable Monday evening KO, and you have flatter than a flat earther’s flat model of a flat earth on a flat surface in their flat while eating a pancake.

And almost beat us ! What does that say about us then ?

A crap crepe?

A point and a delicious pre-match WSU chicken & ham pie... that's about it. Not even a Gross turn to raise a muted cheer.

We got dragged down to their level unfortunately. Hate these sorts of teams. Probably the dullest game of the season on paper before a ball is kicked, no wonder the audience weren't up for it.

 

[sagaman]

The real concern is that we are not winning nearly enough matches at home. Draws against sides lower than us. Wolves didn’t park the bus and looked more likely to score.

Positive two clean sheets in a row but also no goals scored in these games

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Ivory Coast are out of the AFCON, so Ardringa should be back by Saturday.

No they aren’t, they are going to go through (probably) as one of the best third placed teams.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

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'.

On that subject, he got brushed off the ball far too easily throughout and overall contribution was poor. Yes he is young and still learning etc etc but I’m still to be convinced that he has got what it takes.

 

[Mellotron]

I watched it from the comfort of my own sofa.

Weird how two people can view the game so differently. I thought he was physically at it last night. He got in between Wolves players and defenders to block off well, won the ball back a few times. Solid 6 out of 10 in a generally lethargic team performance

I agree. I thought he won a number of challenges very well

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

Gross couldn’t even hold his own groin?

Albion (both players and fans) obviously need to start wearing "daylight glasses" - Wolves utilising unusual medical method for Premier League advantage

 

[AlbionBro]

? It was gilmour

It was the Premier league that voted for Pervis as motm.

 

[mothy]

Lots of positives from last night. Clean sheet. We are premier league. Bossed the game with possession. Just a flick away from being in on goal multiple times. Tariq back. No injuries. 7th in the league. We are spoilt if we are complaining

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

And TNT gave their player of the match to Neto.

So, seems we had 3 different winners, sums up a draw quite well.
