[Albion] Premier League 24-26/11

[ferring seagull]

One of THE oldest cliches in football is you have to earn the right to play. Wolves just thought they could turn up and bamboozle their opponents. Huddersfield will ****ing tear into us next weekend.

Sadly I feel your pessimism will probably not be missplaced !

Bloody hell mooy has been immense..



<splurt>

How is he as a defensive midfielder?

 

[ferring seagull]

Hudds from bottom to 14th.

Shows how fragile it is at the bottom... and we're still amongst it all. A few defeats and we'll be at real threat of relegation again.

Just perhaps we are already. If we are simply setting up to achieve an average point per game it may prove to be a flawed strategy ! Last season was too close to call until the Manu. win.

Imagine the WhatsApp messages zooming between our players after watching that!

I’m not pessimistic, far from it because I think we have some of the best footballers I’ve ever seen in my club’s shirt - but next weekend we’re facing a team we know we’ll. We know what they’ll do and it we don’t adapt we’ll get beat. They will press and hunt us all over the pitch. I just want Chris to accept that and pick a team and formation to counter them. Power and running and a proper match up in midfield is a MUST.

I just posted in another thread.

Wolves manager; they pressed and were aggressive. Let’s hope Chris can take the game to them on Saturday. Get at ‘em

The really sad thing is that is exactly what we have...knocky and izzy are both pacy wingers who are capable of ripping teams apart, as well as andone who has pace. Murray and locy not so much.

So we are a pacy team, it is just they are shackled by the edict that must be drummed into them..."when in doubt pass it back".

Exactly.

ps.. what is your loyalty next week? Or do you view as a neutral?

 

[Triggaaar]

Can you imagine what a binfest it would be on here, if we were 2 down to the bottom club? It was bad enough with us getting a draw against 10 men.

If Wolves had been playing negative football for while, maybe they'd be annoyed too.

And Huddersfield were only the bottom club because we gave the previous bottom club 3 points last game.

I absolutely agree, I still have nightmares about the away fixture to them in the Championship where we were, as you allude, trashed by them ! So I agree entirely !

Always brighton.

Wolves board in meltdown....Nuno outhought by Wagner......slow to adapt his tactics ...players not good enough ..blimey I thought this only applied to us

It wasn't really that close. Last season 18th managed 33 points and we reached 34 points with 9 games to go (after beating Arsenal). It looks like 18th will be even lower this season so a point per game would see us home and dry by mid April.

We were trashed by them then because they were absolutely amazing. When that happens, you just have to sit and (internally) applaud the opposition for a deserved victory. When we played them up there last season, we were absolute toilet. They didn't even have to really try to beat us, and achieved it easily.

F***!

'Uddersfield just warming up nicely for three points at home against Brighton.............

 

[Bozza]

Big one tonight.

Newcastle have lost their last 10 Monday night games by all accounts.

What result do YOU want?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Both on 9, has to be a draw for me Clive.

Burnley more likely to get out of the mixer and end up comfortably safe. So Burnley win or a draw please.

 

[Icy Gull]

In all matches between fellow strugglers the best result for me is a draw

That's where I am.

I tend to want a result based on what I think the table is likely to be at the business end of the season, not what it is right now.
