So who was to blame for the first goal?

[Giraffe]

On the one hand it was a bloody awful pass back by Bruno, but on the other what the hell was Stockdale doing not volleying it away? Or was it something else?

 

[worthingseagull]

both had a mare but 60/40 Stockdales fault - he should have put his boot through it & then bollocked Bruno

 

[AmexRuislip]

From the 000000000000.1 seconds of highlights I viewed on Sky, I would say both are at fault.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Lots of players have to deal with dodgy passes all over the pitch so mainly Stockdale, he chose the wrong option. A rare mistake nothing more.

 

[StonehamPark]

Both at fault but Bruno caused the incident in the first place.
Terrible back pass, DS messed up a difficult and unexpected clearance.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Blame?

The evolving fashion in casual football.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

What surprised me was the way the team spent the rest of the first half giving Stockdale more practice at dealing with back passes. And I regret to say that he proved himself Not Very Good at this task. But maybe there are better ways to clear the ball from the back?

 

[MF'84]

Bruno should never have played a ball back like that; yes, Stockdale could have just cleared it out but so could Bruno... clearly Bruno's fault.

 

[LowKarate]

Voted 'Other' as I'm sure I heard someone in WSU pin it on Ashley Barnes.

Personally felt Stockdalehave clearedit on the volley first time instead of taking a very risky first touch.

It's the goalkeepers job to command the 18 yard box plain and simple no matter what Bruno was trying to do,goalkeeper has hands and feet and chooses not to use them.....

Stockdale is at fault plain and simple......that said he has been our savior on many occasions and as a GK is always going to look bad if he gets it wrong,it's unfair as much as it frustrates to single him out for to much criticism,has he done his chances for Wolves any favors? No but i would be surprised if he is on the bench Tuesday....

Edit: sorry for the double "plain and simple" Grammar police!!!

PS....i don't do Grammar but if i did it would probably look like this......yes i am plain and simple

Brexit obviously......... seriously though top post.

Again I ask, how could Stockdale have cleared it on the volley when the ball came to him at throat height? Watch the video, he had very little chance of clearing that return from Bruno.

It was traveling at a fair lick too!

So that's 0.1 seconds then?

(me not you btw)

I've watched it a few times now and only confirmed what I thought at the time, had he stood his ground he could have volleyed it away.

It was only because he came charging out that it became an awkward height and it still wasn't throat height.

And I say this as one of Stockers biggest fans.

Excellent

Punch or head it?

 

[theboybilly]

....goalkeeper has hands and feet

Not from a backpass he doesn't

 

[Steve in Japan]

I am posting on different threads on same subject. Was it a nailed on goal due to the lofted backpass? I think not. A poor chest (ooooerr) and the goal becomes a real possibility.
